Check variable swirl control actuator position sensor resistance
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect variable swirl control actuator.
Measure the resistance of variable swirl control actuator component terminal 3,4,5 referring "Terminal resistance table" as follows.
Specification : Terminal resistance table
Detecting terminal | Resistance ( KΩ 20℃ ) | Characteristic | Component connector shape | ||
Valve fully opend | Valve fully closed | ||||
Variable swirl control actuator position sensor | 3(power)-5(ground) | 4.47±0.1KΩ | 4.47±0.1KΩ | Stable | ![]() |
3(power)-4(signal) | 4.81±0.1KΩ | 0.85±0.1KΩ | Resistance drops | ||
4(signal)-5(ground) | 0.75±0.1KΩ | 4.71±0.1KΩ | Resistance rises |
Is the measured resistance within the specification?
YES
"2. Check variable swirl control actuator position sensor operation".
NO
Replace variable swirl control actuator assy′ and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
Check variable swirl control actuator position sensor operation
IG KEY "ON" , ENGINE "ON".
Keep engine at idle state.
Monitor the waveform of variable swirl control actuator terminal 4 with oscilloscope.
Turning off engine, monitor the waveform of variable swirl control actuator at the point of operation stop.
Specification : Refer to Signal Waveform & Data "Fig.3)"
Does variable swirl control actuator and position sensor operations are OK?
YES
Go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
NO
Replace variable swirl control actuator assy′ and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
