SFI SYSTEM > ACIS Control Circuit
DESCRIPTION
This circuit opens and closes the Intake Air Control Valve (IACV) in response to the engine load in order to increase the intake efficiency (ACIS: Acoustic Control Induction System).When the engine speed is between 2,200 and 4,100 rpm and the throttle valve opening angle is 60° or more, the ECM supplies current to the VSV (ON status), so the IACV will close. Besides that condition, the VSV is usually OFF and the IACV is open.

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Disconnect the vacuum hose.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester ON.
Select the item: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / ACTIVE TEST / INTAKE CTL VSV1. Operate the VSV for AICS.
Check the VSV operation when it is operated using the intelligent tester.
- Standard:
Tester Operation Specified Condition VSV is ON Air from port E flows out through port F VSV is OFF Air from port E flows out through the air filter
Reconnect the vacuum hose.

Check that air flows from port E to the air filter.

Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
Check that air flows from port E to port F.

Check the wire harness and connectors between the VSV for ACIS and ECM.
Disconnect the V1 VSV for ACIS connector.
Disconnect the E4 ECM connector.
Measure the resistance between the terminals of the VSV for ACIS connector and ECM connector.
- Standard resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connections Specified Conditions VSV for ACIS (V1-1) - ACIS (E4-33) Below 1 Ω
- Standard resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connections Specified Conditions VSV for ACIS (V1-1) or ACIS (E4-33) - E1 (E6-1) 10 kΩ or higher
Reconnect the VSV for ACIS connector.
Reconnect the ECM connector.
Check the wire harness between the VSV for ACIS and EFI relay.
Disconnect the V1 VSV for ACIS connector.
Remove the EFI fuse from the engine room R/B and J/B.
Measure the resistance of the VSV for ACIS connector and engine room R/B (EFI fuse).
- Standard resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connections Specified Conditions VSV for ACIS (V1-1) - EFI relay (3) Below 1 Ω
Reconnect the VSV for ACIS connector.
Reinstall the EFI fuse.
