Simulation Test 1. Carry out the “VTCS Operation Inspection”. If not as specified, perform the further inspection for the VTCS solenoid valve. Airflow Inspection NOTE: Perform the following test only as directed. 1. Remove the VTCS solenoid valve. 2. Inspect for the air flow inspection each port under the following condition. If as specified, replace the VTCS solenoid valve. If as specified but the “VTCS Operation Inspection” is failed, inspect evaporative hoses for improper routing, kinks or leakage, and inspect “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”. If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses. If the above open or short circuit is okay, replace VTCS solenoid valve.

Circuit Open/Short Inspection 1. Disconnect the PCM connector. 2. Connect the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) to the PCM as shown. 3. Tighten the connector attaching screw. Tightening torque 7.9 – 10.7 N.m {80 – 110 kgf.cm, 69.5 – 95.4 in.lbf} 4. Inspect for an open or short circuit in the following wiring harnesses by probing the applicable sensor and SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) terminals with ohmmeter leads. Open circuit Power circuit (VTCS solenoid valve connector terminal A and main relay connector terminal D) Control circuit (VTCS solenoid valve connector terminal B and PCM connector terminal 19) Short circuit Power circuit (VTCS solenoid valve connector terminal A and main relay connector terminal D to GND) Control circuit (VTCS solenoid valve connector terminal B and PCM connector terminal 19 to GND) 5. Reconnect the VTCS solenoid valve connector. 6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.
