Diagnostic Procedures
Intake Manifold Flap Motor and Runner Position Sensor, Checking
Observe all safety precautions: --> [ Safety Precautions ]
View clean working conditions: --> [ Clean Working Conditions ]
Prior to repair work, perform a preliminary check to verify the condition. Refer to --> [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.
Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.
For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, Refer to the applicable wiring diagram.
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
• The ignition switched off.
Start diagnosis
- Disconnect the Intake Flap Motor (V157) electrical harness connector.
Checking voltage
- Switch the ignition on.
- Using a multimeter, measure voltage supply between connector terminals 1 to 3 for voltage.
Specified value: approx. 5 V.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery positive, Ground or high resistance.
- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
- Using a multimeter, measure voltage supply between connector terminals 4 to 5 for voltage.
Specified value: near 4.35 V.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery positive, Ground or high resistance.
- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
- Using a multimeter, measure voltage supply between connector terminals 2 to 3 for voltage.
Specified value: approx. 5.01 V.
If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery positive, Ground or high resistance.
- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage readings were correct:
- Replace the Intake Flap Motor (V157).
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage readings were Not correct:
Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
- Install the test box.
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).
- Using a multimeter, check the Intake Flap Motor (V157) electrical harness connector to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness T60 connector for resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.
If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery positive, Ground or high resistance.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage readings were Not correct:
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to --> [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to --> [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to --> [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
