Air Intake Control Circuit: Procedure

  1. CHECK VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE (VSV FOR AIR INTAKE CONTROL VALVE) 
    1. Inspect the VSV for air intake control valve. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION - Step 3 .

    NG → REPLACE VSV (FOR AIR INTAKE CONTROL VALVE) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. INSPECT TERMINAL VOLTAGE (VSV FOR AIR INTAKE CONTROL VALVE CONNECTOR) 
    1. Disconnect the VSV for air intake control valve connector.

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      2 - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 11 to 14 V
    4. Reconnect the VSV connector.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (EFI NO. 2 FUSE - VSV FOR AIR INTAKE CONTROL VALVE) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VSV FOR AIR INTAKE CONTROL VALVE - ECM)

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A60-1 (VSV for AICV) - E3-8 (AICV) Always Below 1 Ω

      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A60-1 (VSV for AICV) or E3-8 (AICV) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the ECM connector.
    5. Reconnect the VSV connector.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR (VSV FOR AIR INTAKE CONTROL VALVE - ECM) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  5. INSPECT AIR INTAKE CONTROL VALVE 
    1. Inspect the intake air control valve.

    NG → REPLACE AIR CLEANER CASE 

    OK → See step   4
