Inspection Procedure 20: Intake Air Control Flap System














OPERATION



  • Battery voltage is supplied to the intake air control flap relay (terminal No. 4) and is earthed to the vehicle body from the intake air control flap relay (terminal No. 1).
  • Battery voltage is supplied to the intake air control flap relay (terminal No. 2) from engine control relay (terminal No. 2).
  • Power is supplied to the intake air control flap (terminal No. 3) from the intake air control flap relay (terminal No. 3) and is earthed to the body earth from the intake air control flap (terminal No. 4).
  • The engine-ECU (terminal No. 15) outputs a signal, which is input into the intake air control flap (terminal No. 2).
  • The intake air control flap (terminal No. 1) outputs a signal, which is input into the engine-ECU (terminal No. 40).

FUNCTION



  • Based on the signal from engine-ECU, the intake air control flap controls intake air amount.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed intake air control flap
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in intake air control flap circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU

  • Resistance between terminal No. 1 and earth.
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 9 .

    Check and repair harness between A-21X (terminal No. 1) intake air control flap relay connector and body earth.

    • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.

STEP 9. Perform voltage measurement at A-21X intake air control flap relay connector.



  • Pull out relay and measure at connector side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 2 and earth.
OK: System voltage

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 11 .
Go to Step 10 .
