Air Intake Control Circuit: Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (VSV FOR AICV) 
    1. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

    2. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the VSV for ACIS.
    3. Check the operation of the VSV when the VSV is operated by the Techstream.

      Standard

      Tester Operation Specified Condition
      VSV is ON Air from port E flows out through port F
      VSV is OFF Air from port E flows out through the air filter

    OK → See step   4 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK VSV (FOR AICV) 
    1. Inspect the intake air control valve assembly. Refer to INSPECTION .

    NG → REPLACE INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VSV FOR AICV - ECM, VSV FOR AICV - EFI RELAY) 
    1. Check the wire harness between the VSV for AICV connector and the ECM connector.

      1. Disconnect the A47 VSV for AICV connector.
      2. Disconnect the A10 ECM connector.
      3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

        Standard resistance (Check for open)

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        VSV for AICV (A47-2) - AICV (A10-4) Below 1 Ω

        Standard resistance (Check for short)

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        VSV for AICV (A47-2) or AICV (A10-4) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      4. Reconnect the ECM connector.
    2. Check the EFI No. 3 fuse.
      1. Remove the EFI No. 3 fuse from the engine room R/B.
      2. Measure the resistance of the EFI No. 3 fuse.

        Standard resistance

        Below 1 Ω

      3. Reinstall the EFI No. 3 fuse.
    3. Check the wire harness between the VSV for AICV and the EFI relay.
      1. Remove the engine room junction block from the engine room R/B.
      2. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the wire harness side connectors.

        Standard resistance (Check for open)

        Tester Connection Specified Condition
        VSV for AICV (A47-1) - 1E-6 Below 1 Ω
      3. Reconnect the VSV for AICV connector.
      4. Reinstall the engine room junction block.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT VACUUM TANK 
    1. Inspect the vacuum tank. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION .

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE AIR CLEANER CAP 

    OK → See step   5 

  5. REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL
