Abstract

The invention relates to a system for controlling at least one actuator (6) for thrust reverser cowlings (2) on a turbojet engine, comprising a set of actuator and/or control components with at least one actuator (6) for cowlings (2) driven by at least one electric motor (7) and control means (9) for the electric motor (7). The control means (9) comprise test means (20), with an interface (22) destined for receiving test requests from a user. The test means (20) are designed on reception of a test request to carry out a test cycle on one or more components (7, 6, 15, 18) of the system comprising an isolated actuation to the component(s) (7, 6, 15, 18) with regard to the other components of the system.
