Variable Swirl System Operation Inspection
- Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
- Access the ECT PID.
- Verify that the ECT PID is below 60°C {140°F}.
- Start the engine.
- Inspect the rod operation under the following conditions:
Rod operation
ROD OPERATION REFERENCE CHART
| Engine speed | 3,750 rpm | |
| Below | Above | |
| Shutter valve actuator | Operate | Not operate |
If the rod operation is not specified, inspect as follows:
- Perform the KOER self test using the M-MDS and verify that DTCs No.P2004:00, P2006:00, P2009:00 or P2010:00 are not displayed. (See
KOEO/KOER SELF TEST [L3 WITH TC]
.)
- If DTC No.P2004:00, P2006:00, P2009:00 or P2010:00 are displayed, perform DTC inspection. (See DTC P2004:00 .) (See DTC P2006:00 .) (See DTC P2009:00 .) (See DTC P2010:00 .)
If simulation function of M-MDS is used:
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine off).
- Turn the variable swirl solenoid valve from off to on using the IMRC PID and verify that the operation sound of the solenoid valve is heard.
- If the operation sound is not heard, replace the variable swirl solenoid valve. (See VARIABLE SWIRL SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION .)
- If the operation sound is not heard, inspect the following:
- Vacuum hose and vacuum chamber for looseness or damage
- Shutter valve actuator (See VARIABLE SWIRL SHUTTER VALVE ACTUATOR INSPECTION .)
- Check valve is stuck open or closed
- Shutter valve cannot move smoothly
If simulation function of M-MDS is not used:
- Inspect variable swirl solenoid valve. (See
VARIABLE SWIRL SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION
.)
- If the variable swirl solenoid valve is not normal, replace the variable swirl solenoid valve.
- If the variable swirl solenoid valve is normal, inspect the following:
- Vacuum hose and vacuum chamber for looseness or damage
- Shutter valve actuator (See VARIABLE SWIRL SHUTTER VALVE ACTUATOR INSPECTION .)
- Check valve is stuck open or closed
- Shutter valve cannot move smoothly
