Variable Induction Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

VARIABLE INDUCTION CONTROL (VIC) SOLENOID CHECK <3.0L ENGINE - with VARIABLE INDUCTION CONTROL system>

1. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the variable induction control solenoid.

NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always make sure that it can be reconnected at its original position.

2. Disconnect the harness connector.




3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (B) of the variable induction control solenoid.




4. As described in the chart, check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the variable induction control solenoid, and without applying voltage.




5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the variable induction control solenoid.

Standard value: 29 - 35 Ohm [at 20 °C (68 °F)]

6. Replace solenoid resistance is out of specification.
