INSPECTION
FUNCTION AND OPERATION PRICIPLE
Variable Intake manifold Solenoid (VIS) valves are installed on surge tank (VIS Valve #1) and intake manifold (VIS
Valve #2). These VIS valve #1 and #2 control vacuum modulators which activate valves in surge tank and intake
manifold. These valves are opened or closed by PCM according to engine condition (Refer to below table).
Engine Condition VIS Valve #1

ClosedIncreasing engine performance in low engine speed by
reducing intake interference among cylinders
Medium Speed Open
Open or closed Increasing intake efficiency
High
Speed Open
OpenMinimizing intake resistance by shortening intake manifold
length and increasing area of air entrance

INSPECTION
FUNCTION AND OPERATION PRICIPLE
ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) system is electronically controlled throttle device which controls the throttle valve. It
consists of ETC motor, throttle body and throttle position sensor (TPS). A mechanical throttle control system receives a
driver's intention via a wire cable between the accelerator and the throttle valve, while this ETC system uses the signal
from the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) installed on the accelerator pedal. After the PCM receives the APS signal
and calculates the throttle opening angle, it activates the throttle valve by using the ETC motor. Additionally, it can
handle cruise control function without any special devices.
