ABC control Valve 0 Volts

Hey all,
i just ran some abc tests through DAS and found that my right front and rear abc control valves have exactly zero volts when actuated. Does anybody of some easy thing I'm missing here? All other locking and control valves work fine...

Are you checking the power at the valve or coming out of the control module? Also are you actuating the valve via SDS or pushing the button on dash?

I was checking the volts indicated on sds. I also was actuating the valves via sds.

Do the struts move when actuated?

Only the left front & rear. For the right side, only the strut blocking valves respond to actuation. The control valves do not respond and do not have any static voltage (voltage prior to actuation).

If I wanted to manually apply voltage to the valve, what would be the proper amperage? I don't want to damage it if I want to check the electrical connection.

Im not sure how many amps they pull. I have bench tested the valves hard wired to a battery and they do fine. They should have around 4-5 Ohms through them though.
