VARIABLE TUMBLE SHUTTER VALVE ACTUATOR INSPECTION[ZJ, ZY, Z6]


id0113b1803100


Without Throttle Valve Actuator


Operation inspection

1.  Disconnect the negative battery cable.

2.  Remove the variable tumble shutter valve actuator.

3.  Connect the battery positive voltage to terminal A or B, and verify that the gear moves.

Open circuit
•  If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
―  Variable tumble shutter valve actuator terminal A and PCM terminal 2AJ
―  Variable tumble shutter valve actuator terminal B and PCM terminal 2AF
Short circuit
•  If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
―  Variable tumble shutter valve actuator terminal A and power supply.
―  Variable tumble shutter valve actuator terminal A and body ground.
―  Variable tumble shutter valve actuator terminal B and power supply.
―  Variable tumble shutter valve actuator terminal B and body ground.


With Throttle Valve Actuator


Motor inspection

Caution
•  The property of the variable tumble shutter valve switch built into the variable tumble shutter valve actuator is adjusted to reduce the effect caused from the production tolerance of the intake manifold and variable tumble shutter valve actuator.
•  If the variable tumble shutter valve actuator is removed from the intake manifold, a significant deviation to the switching performance results. Therefore, the variable tumble shutter valve actuator cannot be removed from the intake manifold.

1.  Remove the intake manifold. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[ZJ, ZY, Z6])

2.  Connect the battery positive voltage to terminal B or D, and inspection that the valve operation.
