Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Air Management Solenoid
Faults in air management solenoids or circuits should set a service code. See QUICK TEST in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. If service code has not been set, disconnect solenoid harness connectors. Measure resistance across terminals. Resistance should be 50-100 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace solenoid. If resistance is as specified, see CIRCUIT TEST KC in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section for additional circuit testing.
