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.
Circuit Description
The ECM opens and closes the Intake Air Control valve in response to engine speed (RPM/NE). This system improves intake manifold tuning for better efficiency at low and high engine RPM. When the engine speed is 4,000 RPM or less and the throttle valve opening angle is 30° or more, the ECM turns the VSV ON or OFF to operate the intake air control valve.
