Vacuum Switch Valve

  1. Remove Vacuum Switch Valve (VSV) from vehicle. Apply vacuum to the diaphragm nipple. Blow through either port "A" or "B". See Fig 1 .
  2. VSV should be closed when vacuum is below 2.6 in. Hg and open when vacuum is above 4.2 in. Hg. If the VSV does not function, replace valve.
