Variable Swirl Actuator consists of DC motor and position sensor which detects the position of the swirl valve.
At idle or below 2,500rpm, 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 materials and to learn maximum opening and closing positions of the valve, the ECM fully opens and closes the valve twice when the engine has stopped.
