Actuator fail verification

[Scrippy]

Just want to verify that it is bank 2 and that it appears to be the electronic issue as opposed to the gear wear issue with the actuator. One of the errors came up as a pre drive check canbus failure online. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also is 5E19 just a result of the actuator issue and nothing more?:

Pre drive check means you need an actuator, replace and move on

Which I did but I want to know if the gears can be replaced for a spare part to keep on the shelf for later. What I'm asking is is this pre drive can check error a circuit board error or the result of sloppy gears causing the error?

If you comb through the numerous posts on actuator failures, fixes and the DIY, there doesn't seem to be a clear distinction based on the codes. If I recall correctly the post that details replacing the MOSFETs claimed that they looked burned when they are bad.

I had picked up a used actuator for a 'hot spare' from Deansbimmer a few years ago. I had proactively changed the gears at 95K miles and had some issues with the threads on the end of the shaft on one actuator. Turns out my temporary fix worked as 40K miles later got codes (actuator with good threads failed). Was glad I had the spare as was able to replace the bad one and wait for rebuilds from Abdul.

Pre drive check is the board of toast, if you are handy with a bench solder with good heat control maybe you can diy.
