Chevy Cruze active grille shutter operation/wiring

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know specifically how the motors operate on active shutters? Is it a 3 wire design where giving 12 v to one wire opens them, 12v to another wire closes them, one wire for ground? (Thats how some old pop up headlights work).

Or is it a more complicated stepper motor, PWM control?
I don’t have one in front of me to run tests with.

I know some Cruze gen1s and gen2 diesel’s comes with active grill shutters. My 2017 is a gas engine, I figured I could mount the shutter, then wire up my own relay/switch and use it in very specific circumstances. It looks like it will physically mount right up to any of the gen2s without fabrication.

Thanks!
