Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK VACUUM HOSES 
    1. Check if the vacuum hose cap is missing.
    2. If the hose is damaged, replace the vacuum hose assembly.
    3. Check the air and vacuum hoses for looseness, disconnection and blockage.

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE VACUUM HOSES 

    OK : Go to next step 

  2. CHECK VACUUM 
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the vacuum tank.
    3. Check that the unconnected port located on the vacuum tank applies suction to your finger.
    4. Reconnect the vacuum hose.

    NG : CHECK AND REPLACE VACUUM SOURCE AND HOSES 

    OK : Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT ECM (ACM VOLTAGE) 
    1. Connect the oscilloscope between terminals ACM and E1 of the E7 ECM connector.
    2. Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
    3. Turn the A/C switch on.
    4. Measure the voltage between terminals ACM and E1 of the E7 ECM connector.

    Standard voltage 

    ECM (ACM VOLTAGE)

    Condition Specified Condition
    Shift position is D range, and engine speed is 850 rpm or less Pulse generation
    Shift position is D range, and engine speed is 950 rpm or more 9 to 14 V
    Shift position is P range 9 to 14 V

    OK : GO TO STEP   6 

    NG : Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT VSV FOR ACM (RESISTANCE) 
    1. Disconnect the V2 VSV for ACM connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between the terminals 1 and 2.

    Standard resistance 

    VSV FOR ACM (RESISTANCE)

    Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
    1-2 20°C (68°F) 19 to 20 Ω

    NG : REPLACE VSV 

    OK : Go to next step 

  5. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VSV FOR ACM - ECM, VSV FOR ACM - EFI MAIN RELAY) 
    1. Check the wire harness between the VSV for ACM and ECM.
      1. Disconnect the V2 VSV connector for ACM.
      2. Disconnect the E7 ECM connector.
      3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance 

      VSV FOR ACM - ECM, VSV FOR ACM - EFI MAIN RELAY

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      V2-2 - E7-6 (ACM) Below 1 Ω
      V2-2 or E7-6 (ACM) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
    2. Check the wire harness between the VSV and EFI MAIN relay.
      1. Check the EFI No. 2 fuse from the fusible link block.
        • Remove the EFI No. 2 fuse from the fusible link block.
        • Measure the resistance of the EFI No. 2 fuse.

          Standard resistance: 

          Below 1 Ω 

        • Reinstall the EFI No. 2 fuse.
      2. Disconnect the V3 VSV for ACM connector.
      3. Remove the EFI MAIN relay from the engine room J/B.
      4. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance 

    VSV FOR ACM - EFI MAIN RELAY

    Tester Connection Specified Condition
    V2-1 (VSV for ACM) - EFI MAIN relay terminal 3 Below 1 Ω

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK : REPLACE ECM 

  6. INSPECT VSV FOR ACM (OPERATION) 
    1. Remove the VSV.
    2. Check operation of the VSV when battery positive voltage is applied to the terminals of the VSV connector.

      Battery positive voltage is not applied: 

      The air from pipe G is flowing out through pipes E and H. 

      Battery positive voltage is applied: 

      The air from pipe F is flowing out through pipes E and H.

    NG : REPLACE VSV FOR ACM 

    OK : Go to next step 

  7. INSPECT FRONT ENGINE MOUNT INSULATOR 
    1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the front engine mount insulator.
    2. Using MITYVAC (Hand-held Vacuum Pump), apply a vacuum of 80 kPa (600 mmHg, 25 in.Hg) and wait for 1 minute.
    3. Make sure there is no needle movement on the MITYVAC.
    4. Check that there is no fluid leakage caused by a broken lower diaphragm.
