1. Connect the VSV terminals to the battery terminals as illustrated.

Checking VSV - Current Applied:






2. Blow into pipe E and check that air comes out of pipe G.
3. Disconnect the battery and blow into pipe E, check that air comes out of pipe F.

Checking VSV - Current Removed:






4. Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between the terminal and the VSV body.

Checking VSV For Short Circuit:






5. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals as illustrated.

Checking The VSV For An Open Circuit:






Resistance Cold: 30 - 50 ohms

6. If a problem is found, replace the VSV.
