Solenoid actuator open-circuit and closed-circuit faults are detected using shunt resistors (R1, R4) across the solenoid (1), a transistor switch (4), a voltage monitor (7) and/or (14) across one or both of these which can detect a faulty open-circuit solenoid that is not energized, or a faulty closed-circuit solenoid that is energized. The invention proposes that, before each change in actuator position, the solenoids are all energized to an opposite condition for a time insufficient to move the actuator, but enough to check the voltage monitor responses. In this way, all open and closed circuit faults are detected.
