Hello,I have recently purchased a 1994 Q45a which is in excellent shape except the ACTSUS light is staying on at all times. I have tried the self testing procedure of;

1. With the car ‘off, turn the ignition key to ’run’ do not crank the engine.2. Within 10 seconds of turning the key to ‘on’, move the ‘N/H’ switch from ‘N’ to ‘H’ and back again at least 10 times, stopping in ‘N’3. Within a few seconds, the Actsus warning light should start to flash a series of pulses.

Each time I try the above method nothing happens and the light just stays solid whenever the key is in the "run" position as mentioned above. So far I have found tons of helpful info about these cars in general however I did not find much info on a problem such as this. Does anyone have any ideas of where to start troubleshooting a problem like this. Thanks for you time and advice.

The only reasons that an active will not go into 'self diagnostic' mode is either defective N/H switch or faulty wiring to the computer or bad computer. Check all fuses (remove, swap for known good.)R&R active computer connector. Look and notice if green 'H' light comes on in warning light display when switch is moved to 'H'.
