    4. Check voltage between terminal 2 and engine ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

      Voltage: Battery voltage 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  3.
    2. NG: GO TO 2.

  2. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors M81, F36
    • Harness connectors F37, F101
    • Fuse block (J/B) connector M27
    • 10A fuse
    • Harness for open or short between IACV-AAC valve and fuse

    : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  3. CHECK IACV-AAC VALVE OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 101 and IACV-AAC valve terminal 1.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      Continuity should exist. 

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  5.
    2. NG: GO TO 4.
  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors F101, F37
    • Harness for open or short between IACV-AAC valve and ECM

    : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  5. CHECK IACV-AAC VALVE 
    1. Disconnect IACV-AAC valve harness connector.
    2. Remove IACV-AAC valve.
      • Check IACV-AAC valve resistance.

        Resistance: Approximately 10Ω [at 20°C (68°F)] 

      • Check plunger for seizing or sticking.
      • Check for broken spring.

    3. Supply battery voltage between IACV-AAC valve connector terminals.

      Plunger should move. 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 6.
    2. NG: Replace IACV-AAC valve.
  6. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT 

    Refer to "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT ".
