Component Inspection

  1. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING (EVT) CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE-1 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect EVT control solenoid valve harness connector.
    3. Check the resistance between EVT control solenoid valve terminals as per the following.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 2.

    NO

    Replace EVT control solenoid valve. Refer to Exploded View .

  2. CHECK EVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE-2 
    1. Remove EVT control solenoid valve. Refer to Exploded View .
    2. Provide battery voltage between EVT control solenoid valve terminals 1 and 2, and then interrupt it. Check that the plunger moves as shown in the figure, below.

      CAUTION: Do not apply battery voltage continuously for 5 seconds or more. Doing so may result in damage to the coil in EVT control solenoid valve.
      NOTE: Always replace O-ring when EVT control solenoid valve is removed.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES
