INSPECTION
1. REMOVE AIR CLEANER CAP ASSEMBLY (See page
ST−4)
2. REMOVE VSV
3. INSPECT VSV
4. INSPECT VSV FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the
terminals.
Resistance: At 20°C (68°F): 33 − 39 Ω
If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.
5. INSPECT VSV FOR GROUND
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
each terminal and the body.
If there is continuity, replace the VSV.
6. INSPECT VSV OPERATION
(a) Check that the air flows from ports E to G.
(b) Apply battery positive voltage across the terminals.
(c) Check that the air flows from ports E to F.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.
7. REINSTALL VSV
8. REINSTALL AIR CLEANER CAP ASSEMBLY

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT POWER SOURCE VOLTAGE OF MAP SEN-
SOR
(a) Disconnect the MAP sensor connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(c) Using a voltmeter measure the voltage between connec-
tor terminals VC and E2 of the wiring harness side.
Voltage: 4.5 − 5.5 V
(d) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
(e) Reconnect the MAP sensor connector.
2. INSPECT POWER OUTPUT OF MAP SENSOR
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Disconnect the vacuum hose on the air intake chamber
side.
(c) Connect a voltmeter to terminals PIM and E2 of the ECM,
and measure the output voltage under ambient atmo-
spheric pressure.
(d) Apply vacuum to the MAP sensor in 13.3 kPa (100 mmHg,
3.94 in.Hg) segments to 66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69
in.Hg).
(e) Measure the voltage drop from step (c) above for each
segment.
