3. INSPECT VSV
A. Inspect VSV for open circuitUsing an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between
the terminals.
Resistance (Cold): 37±44

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 ports E to G.
(b) Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
(c) Check that air flows from ports E to the filter.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.
4. REINSTALL VSV (a) Install the VSV with the bolt.
Torque: 18 N Vm (185 kgf Vcm, 13 ft Vlbf)

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
Air filtered through the air cleaner passes through the air flow meter a\
nd the amount flowing to the air intake
chamber is determined by the throttle valve opening in the throttle body and th\
e engine rpm.
Air flow meter measures the air intake flow to the engine by the swirl f\
requency.
Located in the throttle body is the throttle valve, which regulates the \
volume of air intake to the engine. Air
intake controlled by the throttle valve opening is distributed from the \
intake chamber to the manifold of each
cylinder and is drain into the combustion chamber.
At low air temperature the ISC valve opens and the air flows through the I\
SC valve, as well as the throttle body,
into the air intake chamber. During engine warm up, the fast idle is accomplished by air flowing into the intake
chamber via ISC valve, even when the throttle valve is completely closed.
The air intake chamber prevents pulsation of the intake air, reduces the influence on the air flow meter and
increases the air intake volume. It also prevents intake air interferenc\
e in each cylinder.
There is also the Int ake Air Control Valve (IACV) attached to the air intake chamber. Part of the Acoustic Control
Induction System (ACIS), the ECU provides signals to the Vacuum Switch Valve (VSV) to open or close. This
valve opens or closes, the vacuum source to the actuator, which in turn opens or closes the IACV. The IACV
is designed to modify the effective manifold length in two stages for increased power in all driving\
ranges.
