CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION




This circuit opens and closes the IACV (Intake Air Control Valve) in response to the engine load in order to increase the intake efficiency (ACIS: Acoustic Control Induction System).

When the engine speed is 2,700 rpm or less, or 3,700 rpm or less and the throttle valve opening angle is 30 ° or more, the ECM turns the two VSV ON or OFF and operate the IACV.
