ACIS Control Circuit





2AR-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: ACIS Control Circuit
- ACIS Control Circuit

DESCRIPTION

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





WIRING DIAGRAM





INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE FOR ACIS)





(a) Disconnect the vacuum hose from port F of the vacuum switching valve (for ACIS).

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Start the engine.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Active the VSV for Intake Control.

(e) Operate the vacuum switching valve for ACIS.

(f) Check the vacuum switching valve air flow when switching the vacuum switching valve.

OK:
