Intake Air Control System: Inspection

  1. INSPECT INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE 
    1. With 39.9 kPa (300 mmHg, 11.8 in.Hg) of vacuum applied to the actuator, check that the actuator rod moves.
    2. One minute after applying the vacuum in step ( a), check that the actuator rod does not return.

      If operation is not as specified, replace the intake manifold.

  2. INSPECT VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE ASSY FOR IAC VALVE 
    1. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between each terminal.

      Resistance: 33 to 39 Ω at 20°C (68°F) 

      If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.

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

      Resistance: 10 kΩ or higher 

      If there is continuity, replace the VSV.
