Check variable swirl control actuator link device operation
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Wait for approx. 16 sec. and check that Main relay turns "OFF".
Disconnect variable swirl control actuator connector.
Pressing variable swirl control actuator link with hands, check if shaft stuck, tightness or problem of link device is detected.
Secification : VSCA link device should move smoothly.
Does variable swirl control actuator move slowly?
YES
Go to "2. Check motor coil resistance" as follows.
NO
Replace stuck or too tight parts of component(intake manifold assy′ or swirl actuator) and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
Check motor coil resistance
IG KEY "OFF", ENGINE "OFF".
Disconnect variable swirl control actuator.
Measure the resistance between variable swirl control actuator component terminal 1 and terminal 2.
Specification : 15.0 ± 3 Ω (20℃)
Is the measured resistance within the specification?
YES
Go to "3. Check variable swirl control actuator position sensor resistance" as follows.
NO
Replace variable swirl control actuator and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
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
Go to "4. Check motor operation" as follows.
NO
Replace variable swirl control actuator assy′ and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair".
Check motor operation
IG KEY "ON" , ENGINE "ON".
Keep engine at idle state.
Monitor the waveform of variable swirl control actuator terminal 1and terminal 2 with two channel oscilloscope.
Accelerating engine to above 3000RPM, let variable swirl control actuator be opened(operates).
Specification :
Does variable swirl control actuator operate correctly?
YES
Go to "5. Check variable swirl control actuator position sensor operation" as follows.
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 2 with oscilloscope.
Turning off engine, monitor the waveform of variable swirl control actuator at the point of operation stop.
Specification :
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".
