ACIS Control Circuit

1GR-FE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM: SFI SYSTEM: ACIS Control Circuit
- ACIS Control Circuit

DESCRIPTION

This circuit opens and closes the intake air control valve in response to changes in the engine load in order to increase the intake efficiency (ACIS: Acoustic Control Induction System).

When the engine speed is between 2200 rpm and 4100 rpm and the throttle valve opening angle is 60° or more, the ECM supplies current to the VSV (ON status), to close the intake air control valve. Under other conditions, the VSV is usually off and the intake air control valve is open.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

PROCEDURE

1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE VSV FOR ACIS)





(a) Disconnect the vacuum hose.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for AICS.

(e) Check the operation of the VSV when the VSV is operated by the Techstream.

OK:

Result





B -- CHECK VACUUM HOSES (INTAKE MANIFOLD - INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE, INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE)
A -- Continue to next step.

2. INSPECT VSV FOR ACIS

(a) Inspect the VSV for AICV Inspection.

NG -- REPLACE VSV FOR ACIS
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VSV FOR ACIS - ECM, VSV FOR ACIS - EFI RELAY)

(a) Check the wire harness and connectors between the VSV for ACIS and ECM.

(1) Disconnect the VSV for ACIS connector.

(2) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(3) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





(b) Check the wire harness between the VSV for ACIS and EFI relay.

(1) Disconnect the VSV for ACIS connector.

(2) Remove the EFI relay from the engine room R/B.

(3) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. CHECK VACUUM HOSES (INTAKE MANIFOLD - INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE, INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE)

(a) Check that the vacuum hose is connected correctly.

(b) Check the vacuum hose for looseness and disconnection.

(c) Check the vacuum hose for cracks, holes and damage.

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE VACUUM HOSES
OK -- Continue to next step.

5. INSPECT INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE (INTAKE AIR SURGE TANK)





(a) Check that the lever moves when a vacuum of 26.6 kPa (200 mmHg) is applied with the vacuum gauge on.

OK:

Lever moves

(b) Check that the vacuum of 26.6 kPa (200 mmHg) is sustained for 1 minute in the above state.

OK:

Vacuum is sustained

NG -- REPLACE INTAKE AIR CONTROL VALVE (INTAKE AIR SURGE TANK)

OK -- REPLACE ECM Removal
