Variable Induction Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection

INTAKE MANIFOLD TUNING SOLENOID CHECK

1. Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the intake manifold tuning (IMT) solenoid.

NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always make sure that it can be reconnected at its original position.

2. Disconnect the harness connector.




3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (B) of the IMT solenoid.
4. As described in the given chart, check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the IMT solenoid, and without applying voltage.




5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the IMT solenoid.

Standard value: 29 - 35 ohms [at 20 °C (68 °F)]

6. Replace solenoid resistance is out of specification.
