 Potentiometers resistance (between flap motor terminal 3 and 5, plus 4 and 5) depends on the position of the flap motor. 
Measure only with installed flap motor. The upper specified value is not achieved in test steps 4.1 and 4.2 (to achieve this 
value, all connectors of the other flap motors would have to be unplugged during the measurement, parallel circuit). 
 If -E87- recognizes DTC" potentiometer short circuit to ground or open circuit/short circuit to positive", test all 
potentiometers.
