Code 14: Electronic Air Control Valve (EACV)
NOTE:

article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section. For vacuum diagrams, see VACUUM DIAGRAMS
article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
- Turn ignition off. Remove HAZARD fuse in main fuse box for 10 seconds to reset ECU. Start engine, and observe CHECK ENGINE and LED lights. If lights are off, problem is intermittent. Check for poor and loose connections at EACV, C317 and C318. Test drive, and check again.
- If CHECK ENGINE light is on and LED indicates Code 14, turn ignition off. Measure resistance between EACV terminals. If resistance is not 8-15 ohms, replace EACV. If resistance is okay, check continuity to ground between each EACV terminal.
- If continuity exists, replace EACV. If continuity does not exist, turn ignition on. Measure voltage between Black/Yellow and Blue/Yellow wire terminals. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, go to step 5).
- Disconnect ECU connector "A". If battery voltage is now present, repair short in Blue/Yellow wire between ECU terminal A11 and EACV. If battery voltage is not present, substitute a known good ECU, and recheck. If condition goes away, replace ECU.
- Measure voltage between Black/Yellow EACV wire terminal and ground. If battery voltage is present, go to step 6). If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Black/Yellow wire between EACV and fuse No. 24.
- Turn ignition off. Reconnect 2-pin EACV connector. Connect ECU test harness connector "A" to ECU main harness side only. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between harness terminals A11 (positive) and A2 (negative). See Figure . If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Blue/Yellow wire between harness terminal A11 and EACV.
- Connect and disconnect harness terminals A11 and A2. Listen for clicking from EACV. If clicking is not heard, replace EACV. If clicking is heard, go to next step.
- Substitute a known good EACV, and recheck EACV. If okay, substitute a known good ECU, and recheck. If condition goes away, replace ECU.
