    OK or NG 

    • OK : GO TO  3.
    • NG : GO TO 2.
  2. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness for open or short between swirl control valve and ECM relay
      • : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  3. CHECK SWIRL CONTROL VALVE OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals and swirl control valve terminals as follows. Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      • Continuity should exist. 
    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    • OK : GO TO 4.
    • NG : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  4. CHECK SWIRL CONTROL VALVE 

    Check resistance between swirl control valve terminal 2 and terminals 1, 3, terminal 5 and terminals 4, 6.

    • Resistance: 20.5 - 23.5Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

    OK or NG 

    • OK : GO TO 7.
    • NG : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness connectors.
  7. CHECK SWIRL CONTROL VALVE POSITION SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Disconnect TCM harness connector.
    4. Check harness continuity between swirl control valve position sensor terminal 1 and ECM terminal 67, TCM terminal 42.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      • Continuity should exist. 
    5. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    • OK : GO TO  9.
    • NG : GO TO 8.
  8. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness for open or short between swirl control valve position sensor and TCM
    • Harness for open or short between swirl control valve position sensor and ECM
      • : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  9. CHECK SWIRL CONTROL VALVE POSITION SENSOR INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 54 and swirl control valve position sensor terminal 2.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      • Continuity should exist. 
    2. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    • OK (With CONSULT-II) : GO TO 10.
    • NG : Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  10. CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT
