DESCRIPTION
The Swirl Control Valve (SCV) position sensor is a non-contact type.
The position sensor measures the opening angle of the SCV. The sensor is reliable and accurate, as it is electrically controlled by Hall elements.
The ECM's IACI terminal voltage increases in correlation with the opening angle of the SCV. When the SCV is fully closed, approximately 0.6 V is applied to the IACI terminal. When the SCV is fully open, approximately 3.6 V is applied to the IACI terminal.
When the output voltage of the IACI terminal deviates from the standard range, the ECM determines that a malfunction has occurred in the position sensor and outputs a DTC.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P2014 | SCV position sensor output voltage flutters up and down beyond the normal operating range (Less than 0.2 V or more than 4.8 V for more than 0.5 seconds) (Open or short) | Open or short in SCV position sensor circuit SCV position sensor ECM |
P2016 | SCV position sensor output voltage is less than 0.2 V for more than 0.5 seconds (Short) | Same as DTC No. P2014 |
P2017 | SCV position sensor output voltage is more than 4.8 V for more than 0.5 seconds (Open) | Same as DTC No. P2014 |
- HINT:
- After confirming DTC P2014, P2016 or P2017, use the intelligent tester to confirm the SCV Angle Sensor (D4) (SCV position sensor output voltage) from Power train / Engine / Data List.
SCV ANG SENS D4 | Malfunction |
0.2 V or less | IACI circuit short VC2 circuit open |
4.8 V or more | VC2 and IACI circuit short-circuited IACI circuit open E3 circuit open |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
1.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER (OPERATE SCV) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / Active Test / Control the SCV Duty Ratio.
Scroll the data list by the up or down button to display SCV ANG SENS D4 (SCV position sensor).
Check the output voltage of SCV ANG SENS D4 while the DC motor for SCV is driven from full closed to full open (or from full open to full closed) using the intelligent tester.
- Standard:
- The voltage output of SCV POSITION remains between 0.2 to 4.8 V while the DC motor for SCV is driven from -100 to 100 % (or from 100 to -100 %).

2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SCV POSITION SENSOR - ECM) |

Disconnect the E3 and E6 ECM connectors.
Disconnect the E56 SCV position sensor connector.
Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
- Standard resistance (Check for open):
Tester Connection Specified Condition VC (E3-29) - VCX (E56-1) Below 1 Ω IAC1 (E6-31) - VSX (E56-3) Below 1 Ω E2 (E3-28) - E2X (E56-2) Below 1 Ω
- Standard resistance (Check for short):
Tester Connection Specified Condition VC (E3-29) or VCX (E56-1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher IAC1 (E6-31) or VSX (E56-3) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher E2 (E3-28) or E2X (E56-2) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
Reconnect the SCV position sensor connector.
Reconnect the ECM connector.

OK | |
3.INSPECT ECM (VC2 VOLTAGE) |

Disconnect the E56 SCV position sensor connector.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Measure the voltage of the E3 snf E6 ECM connector.
- Standard voltage:
Tester Connection Specified Condition VC (E3-29) - E2 (E3-28) 4.5 to 5.0 V
Reconnect the SCV position sensor connector.

5.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P2014, P2016 AND/OR P2017 ARE OUTPUT AGAIN) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the tester ON.
Clear DTCs.
Enter the following menus: Power train / Engine / DTC.
Read DTCs.
- Result:
Display (DTC Output) Proceed to P2014, P2016 and/or P2017 are output again A No output B
