Variable Induction Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

VSV For Acoustic Control Induction System (ACIS)

INSPECTION

1. REMOVE OIL DIPSTICK AND GUIDE FOR A/T

2. REMOVE VACUUM CONTROL VALVE SET




a. Remove the 2 nuts, and disconnect the vacuum tank from the intake manifold.




b. Disconnect these connector and hoses, and remove the vacuum control valve set:
1. VSV connector
2. Vacuum hose (from air intake chamber) from port B of vacuum tank
3. Vacuum hose (from actuator) from VSV

3. REMOVE VSV
Remove the screw, vacuum hose and VSV.

4. INSPECT VSV
a. Inspect the VSV for open circuit.




Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the terminals.

Resistance: 38.5 - 44.5 Ohms at 20 °C (68 °F)

If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.

b. Inspect the VSV for ground.




Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between each terminal and the body.

If there is continuity, replace the VSV.

c. Inspect the VSV operation.




1. Check that air flows from port E to the filter.




2. Apply battery positive voltage across the terminals.
3. Check that air flows from ports E to F.

5. REINSTALL VSV
a. Install the VSV with the screw to the vacuum tank.
b. Install the vacuum hose.

6. REINSTALL VACUUM CONTROL VALVE SET

Torque: 21 Nm (210 kg.cm, 15 ft.lb)

7. REINSTALL OIL DIPSTICK AND GUIDE FOR A/T

HINT: Using a new O-ring.
