  Note
  • Verify that the variable intake air shutter valve actuator rod moves using a mirror.

  • If the rod does not move, replace the variable intake air shutter valve actuator. (See VARIABLE INTAKE AIR SHUTTER VALVE ACTUATOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L8, LF].)
  • When the variable intake air shutter valve actuator cannot be activated even though the operation of the rod can be confirmed, check for any incorrect connections or brakage of the vacuum hose.
