INSPECTION OF VSV FOR FUEL
PRESSURE CONTROL

1. 

DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF
BATTERY
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ”LOCK” position and the negative (–) termi-
nal cable is disconnected from the battery.

2. REMOVE 

VSV

(a)  Disconnect the VSV connector.
(b)  Disconnect the following hoses from VSV:

(1)

Vacuum hose (from fuel pressure regulator)

(2)

Vacuum hose (from air intake chamber)

(c)  (Exc. USA Spec.)

Remove the bolt holding the water by–pass pipe to the
VSV.

(d)  Remove the bolt and VSV.

3. INSPECT 

VSV

A.  Inspect VSV for open circuit

Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between
the terminals.

Resistance (Cold): 37–44 

If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.

B.

Inspect VSV for ground
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween each terminal and the body.
If there is continuity, replace the VSV.

C.

Inspect VSV operation
(a)  Check that air flows from ports E to G.

(b)  Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
(c)  Check that air flows from ports E to the filter.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.

4. REINSTALL 

VSV

(a)  Install the VSV with the bolt.
