Inspection Procedure

  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY TECHSTREAM (VSV FOR ACIS) 
    1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the port F on the VSV for ACIS.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Start the engine.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Active the VSV for Intake Control.
    5. Check the VSV's air flow when switching the VSV.

    OK 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    Tester Condition Specified Condition
    VSV is ON Air from port E flows out through port F
    VSV is OFF Air from port E flows out through air filter

    NG:  Go to step  4

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK VACUUM HOSES (INTAKE MANIFOLD-VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE, VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE - INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE) 
    1. Check the condition of the vacuum hoses between the intake manifold, VSV for ACIS and IACV.
    1. The vacuum hoses are connected securely.
    2. Vacuum hoses are not cranked or damaged.

    OK: 

    The vacuum hoses are connected securely and not cracked or damaged. 

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE VACUUM HOSES 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE 
    1. Inspect the intake air control valve (see INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE ACTUATOR ).

    NG: REPLACE INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE 

    OK: REPLACE ECM 

  4. INSPECT VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE (OPERATION) 
    1. Check that air flows from port E to the air filter.
    2. Apply positive (+) battery voltage across the terminals.
    3. Check that air flows from port E to port F.

    NG: REPLACE VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE - ECM, VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE - BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the V2 VSV for ACIS connector.
    2. Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    Tester Connection Specified Condition
    V2-2 - E4-3 (ACIS) Below 1 Ω
    V2-2 or E4-3 (ACIS) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. INSPECT EFI RELAY (Marking: EFI) 
    1. Remove the EFI relay from the engine room No. 2 relay block.
    2. Measure the resistance of the EFI relay.

    Standard resistance 

    TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

    Tester Connection Specified Condition
    3-5 10 kΩ or higher
    3-5 Below 1 Ω (when battery voltage is applied to terminals 1 and 2)
