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.
Work Procedure
- START
Do you have CONSULT-III?
Do you have CONSULT-III?
YES: GO TO 2.
NO: GO TO 3.
- PERFORM VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
With CONSULT-III
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Select "VVEL POS SEN ADJ PREP" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT-III.
- Touch "Start" and wait a few seconds.
- Make sure the "CMPLT" is displayed on CONSULT-III screen.
- Select "VVEL POSITION SEN-B1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-III.
- Loosen the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolt (1).
- Turn the VVEL control shaft position sensor (2) right and left while monitoring the output voltage of "VVEL POSITION SENB1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" and adjust the output voltage to be within the standard value.
Voltage : 500 ± 48 mV
- Tighten the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolt.
: 7.0 N.m (0.71 kg-m, 62 in-lb)
- Reconfirm that the output voltage of "VVEL POSITION SEN-B1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" is within the standard value.
Voltage : 500 ± 48 mV
- Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
- Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
- Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
- Perform idle air volume learning. Refer to
"WORK PROCEDURE ".
INSPECTION END
- PERFORM VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
Without CONSULT-III
- Disconnect VVEL control shaft position sensor harness connector.
- Remove VVEL actuator motor relay.
- Turn ignition switch ON, wait at least 5 seconds and then turn OFF.
- Reconnect all harness connectors disconnected.
- Install VVEL actuator motor relay.
- Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 5 seconds.
- Loosen the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolt (1).
- Turn the VVEL control shaft position sensor (2) right and left while monitoring the output voltage between the VVEL control module terminals with a tester and adjust the output voltage to be within the standard value.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
