VSV INSPECTION
1. REMOVE VSV
2. INSPECT VSV
A. Inspect VSV for open circuit
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between
the terminals.
Resistance:
At 20°C (68°F) 38.5±44.5
If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.
B. Inspect VSV for ground
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween each terminal and the body.
If there is continuity, replace the VSV.
C. Inspect VSV operation
(a) Check that air flows from port E to the filter.
(b) Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
(c) Check that air flows from port E to F.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.

Troubleshooting
If the CO/HC concentration does not comply with regulations,
troubleshoot in the order given below.
(a) Check (main heated) oxygen sensors operation.
(See oxygen sensor(s) inspection in SFI System)
(b) See the table below for possible causes, and then inspect
and correct the applicable causes if necessary.
CO HC Phenomenon Causes
Normal
High
Rough idle
1. Faulty ignitions:
Incorrect timing
Fouled, shorted or improperly gapped plugs
Open or crossed high±tension cords (2JZ±GE)
Cracked distributor cap (2JZ±GE)
2. Incorrect valve clearance
3. Leaky EGR valve
4. Leaky intake and exhaust valves
5. Leaky cylinder
Low
High
Rough idle
(Fluctuating HC reading)
1. Vacuum leaks:
