Connect the green connectors under dash and switch the ignition to position II. Best not to apply DC to a PWM solenoid for too long.

Does this work on a MY01?

Don't honestly know, people haven't brought me any MY01s to play with because I can't map them yet.

I believe the underdash connectors are there. Connecting the greens will not harm and if the solenoid does cycle you will hear it along with the cooling fans if it is like the earlier cars, so keep your tie out the way
