VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
Work Procedure
1. START
Will CONSULT be used?
Will CONSULT be used?
YES- GO TO 2.
NO- GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM VVEL CONTROL SHAFT POSITION SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
With CONSULT
1.Turn ignition switch ON.
2.Select "VVEL POS SEN ADJ PREP" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode with CONSULT.
3.Touch "Start" and wait a few seconds.

6.Loosen the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolts (1).
7.Turn the VVEL control shaft position sensor (2) clockwise and counterclockwise while monitoring the output voltage of "VVEL
POSITION SEN-B1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" and adjust the output voltage to be within the standard value.
8.Tighten the VVEL control shaft position sensor mounting bolts.
9.Reconfirm that the output voltage of "VVEL POSITION SEN-B1" or "VVEL POSITION SEN-B2" is within the standard value.
NOTE:
If it varies from the standard value after the mounting bolts are tightened, perform steps 6 to 8 again.
10.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
11.Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
12.Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
13.Perform idle air volume learning. Work Procedure.
