|
Description and operation
• |
The Variable Intake Solenoid (VIS) valve controls the vacuum modulator
which activates a valve in the intake manifold.
|
• |
The ECM opens or closes this valve according to engine condition (Refer
to below table).

Operation
|
Medium speed
|
Closed
|
Increasing engine performance in low engine speed by reducing intake interference
among cylinders

Repair procedures
1. |
The engine control system can be more quickly diagnosed for troubles
by using the vehicle diagnostic system (KDS). (Refer to "DTC guide")
KDS provides the following information.
(1) |
Self diagnosis : Inspects and displays diagnostic trouble code
(DTC)
|
(2) |
Sensor data : Checks the system input/output value status
|
(3) |
Forced operation : Checks the system operating status
|
(4) |
Additional function : Controls system options, zero point adjustment
and other functions
|
|
1. |
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
|
2. |
Disconnect the VIS valve connector.
|
3. |
Measure resistance between VIS valve terminals 1 and 2.
Specification : 30.0 - 35.0 [22°C (71.6°F)]
|
|
1. |
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
|
2. |
Disconnect the variable intake solenoid valve connector (A) and vacuum
hose (B).

|
3. |
Remove the VIS valve after loosening the mounting bolts (A).
Tightening torque :
9.8 - 11.8 N·m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf·m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb·ft)
|

|
4. |
Remove the VIS valve (A) after loosening the rod.

|
• |
Install the component to the specified torque.
|
• |
Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped.
If the component has been dropped, inspect before installing.
|
• |
Be careful of foreign material not to flow into the valve.
|
|
1. |
Install in the reverse order of removal.
