Variable Induction Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
VICS SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTIONSimulation Test
1. Carry out the VICS Operation Inspection". Refer to Computers and Control Systems; Testing and Inspection.
- If not as specified, perform the further inspection for the VICS solenoid valve.
Airflow Inspection
Note: Perform the following test only when directed.
1. Remove the VICS solenoid valve.
2. Inspect for airflow between each port under the following condition.
- If as specified but the Simulation Test is failed, inspect for the following and carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection". Vacuum hose improper routing, kinks or leakage.
- If not as specified, replace the VICS solenoid valve.
Circuit Open/Short Inspection
Open circuit
- Power circuit (VICS solenoid valve connector terminal A and main relay connector terminal D through common connector)
- Ground circuit (VICS solenoid valve connector terminal B and PCM connector terminal 3Q)
Short circuit
- VICS solenoid valve connector terminal A and main relay connector terminal D through common connector to ground
