Inspection Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (VSV FOR AICV) 
    1. Turn the ignition switch on (IG) and turn the tester on.
    2. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Activate the VSV for Intake Control and operate the VSV for AICV.
    3. Check the operation of the VSV when the VSV is operated by Techstream.

      Standard

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

    NG: REPLACE INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT TERMINAL VOLTAGE (VSV FOR AICV CONNECTOR) 
    1. Disconnect the VSV for AICV connector.
    2. Turn the ignition switch on (IG).
    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) on the table below.

      Standard voltage 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. 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 VSV for AICV connector.
      2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
      3. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the wire harness side connectors and body ground.

        Standard resistance (Check for open)
