Variable Swirl Control Actuator consists of DC motor and position sensor which detects the position of the swirl valve.
At idle or below 3000rpm, the swirl valve is closed. This swirl effect increases air flow rate.

To prevent the swirl valve and the shaft from being stuck by foreign material and to learn max opening and closing position of the valve, the ECM fully opens and closes the valve twice when engine is being stopped.
Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect the electric EGR control valve connector.
Check that swirl valve is stuck by foreign material.
Measure resistance between motor (+) and (-) control terminals.
