Intake Air Control System: Inspection

  1. INSPECT INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE ASSY 
    1. Inspection procedure when applying voltage between terminals.
      1. Disconnect the connector from the intake air control valve.
      2. Apply battery voltage between terminals 1 (-) and 2 (+) of the intake air control valve. Check that a clicking sound is heard from the intake air control valve.

    If the result is not as specified, replace the intake air surge tank.

  2. INSPECT AIR CLEANER ASSY 
    1. Apply 26.6 kPa (200 mmHg, 7.9 in.Hg) of vacuum to the actuator. Check if the valve rotates open, as shown in the illustration.
    2. Apply the vacuum for 1 minute. The actuator should continue to keep the valve open.

    If the result is not as specified, replace the air cleaner assy.

  3. INSPECT VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE 
    1. Check the VSV resistance.

      Standard: 

      VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE TERMINALS RESISTANCE

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1 - 2 37 to 44 Ω at 20°C (68°F)
      1 - Body ground 2 - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

      If the result is not as specified, replace the VSV.

    2. Check VSV operation.
      1. Check that air flows from port E to the filter.

      2. Apply battery voltage across the terminals. Check that air flows from port E to port F.

    If the result is not as specified, replace the VSV.
