VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSI
TION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITI ON SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217752
VVEL control shaft position sensor adjustment is an operat ion to adjust the initial position of the VVEL control
shaft position sensor.
It must be performed each time VVEL ladder assembly is replaced.
CAUTION:
 It must be performed only on the replaced bank side.
 It must not be performed except when VVEL la dder assembly is replaced. If by any chance the
adjustment is performed, replace VVEL ladder assembly.

Will CONSULT-III be used?
Will CONSULT-III be used?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.PERFORM VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select “VVEL POS SEN ADJ PREP” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Touch “Start” and wait a few seconds.
4. Check that “CMPLT” is displayed on CONSULT-III screen.
5. Select “VVEL POSITION SEN-B1” or “VVEL POSI TION SEN-B2” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CON-
SULT-III.
6. Loosen the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolts
(1).
7. Turn the VVEL control shaft position sensor (2) clockwise and counterclockwise while monitoring the output voltage of “VVEL
POSITION SEN-B1” or “VVEL POSITION SEN-B2” and adjust
the output voltage to be within the standard value.
8. Tighten the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolts.
9. Reconfirm that the output voltage of “VVEL POSITI ON SEN-B1” or “VVEL POSITION SEN-B2” is within
the standard value.
NOTE:
If it varies from the standard value after the m ounting bolts are tightened, perform steps 6 to 8 again.
10. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
11. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
12. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
13. Perform idle air volume learning. Refer to EC-148, "
Work Procedure".
>> INSPECTION END
3.PERFORM VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Disconnect VVEL control shaft position sensor harness connector.
2. Remove VVEL actuator motor relay.
3. Turn ignition switch ON, wait at least 5 seconds and then turn it OFF. Voltage: 500

8. Turn the VVEL control shaft position sensor (2) clockwise and
counterclockwise while monitoring the output voltage between
the VVEL control module terminals with a tester and adjust the
output voltage to be within the standard value.
9. Tighten the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolts.
10. Reconfirm that the output voltage of VVEL contro l shaft position sensor is within the standard value.
NOTE:
If it varies from the standard value after the m ounting bolts are tightened, perform steps 7 to 9 again.
11. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
12. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
13. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
