POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV)
PCV Valve
Remove PCV valve. Shake valve. Valve should rattle if moving
freely. Apply air pressure to valve. Air should flow freely in one
direction only. Connect PCV valve to vacuum hose and start engine.
Ensure vacuum is flowing through valve.
MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS
NOTE: Although the controlled devices listed here are not
technically engine performance components, they can affect
driveability if they malfunction.
NOTE: To identify PCM A/C power supply voltage terminals, see
appropriate pin voltage chart in J - PIN VOLTAGE CHARTS
article. To identify PCM A/C power supply circuit, see
appropriate wiring diagram in L - WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
A/C Switch & Compressor Clutch Relay
Using DVOM, check A/C power supply voltage from PCM. Turn
ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect PCM connector. Turn A/C
switch and ignition switch to ON position. Check voltage between PCM
A/C power supply terminal and chassis ground. If battery voltage is
not as present, check and repair circuit(s).
