Work Procedure

  1. START 

    Do you have CONSULT?

    Do you have CONSULT? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: GO TO  3.

  2. PERFORM VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT 

    With CONSULT 

    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Select "VVEL POS SEN ADJ PREP" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT.
    3. Touch "Start" and wait a few seconds.
    4. Make sure the "CMPLT" is displayed on CONSULT screen.
    5. Select "VVEL POSITION SEN-B1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT.
    6. Loosen the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolt (1).
    7. Turn the VVEL control shaft position sensor (2) right and left while monitoring the output voltage of "VVEL POSITION SENB1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" and adjust the output voltage to be within the standard value.

      Voltage: 500 ± 48 mV 

    8. Tighten the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolt.

      Torque: 7.0 N.m (0.71 kg-m, 62 in-lb)

    9. Reconfirm that the output voltage of "VVEL POSITION SEN-B1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" is within the standard value.

      Voltage: 500 ± 48 mV 

      NOTE: If it varies from the standard value after the bolt is tightened, perform steps  6 to  8 again.
    10. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    11. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    12. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
    13. Perform idle air volume learning. Refer to "WORK PROCEDURE ".

  3. PERFORM VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT 

    Without CONSULT 

    1. Disconnect VVEL control shaft position sensor harness connector.
    2. Remove VVEL actuator motor relay.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON, wait at least 5 seconds and then turn OFF.
    4. Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
    5. Install VVEL actuator motor relay.
    6. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 5 seconds.
    7. Loosen the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolt (1).
    8. Turn the VVEL control shaft position sensor (2) right and left while monitoring the output voltage between the VVEL control module terminals with a tester and adjust the output voltage to be within the standard value.
