Diagnostic ProcedureNBEC0704
1 CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION
With CONSULT-II
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Perform ªTARGET INT/V TIMº in ªACTIVE TESTº mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Hold engine speed at 1,500 to 2,500 rpm under the following step.
4. Touch ªUPº or ªDOWNº on CONSULT-II screen.
SEF355Z
5. Check the following.
IThe angle of a corresponding INT/V TIM (B1)/(B2) to setting TARGET INT/V TIM confirms the variation.
Without CONSULT-II
1. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve.
2. Reconnect intake valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector.
3. Supply intake valve timing control solenoid valve terminals with battery voltage as shown below.

This system has a swirl control valve in the intake passage of each
cylinder.
While idling and during low engine speed operation, the swirl con-
trol valve closes. Thus the velocity of the air in the intake passage
increases, promoting the vaporization of the fuel and producing a
swirl in the combustion chamber.
Because of this operation, this system tends to increase the burn-
ing speed of the gas mixture, improve fuel consumption, and
increase the stability in running conditions.
Also, except when idling and during low engine speed operation,
this system opens the swirl control valve. In this condition, this
system tends to increase power by improving intake efficiency via
reduction of intake flow resistance, intake flow.
The solenoid valve controls swirl control valve's shut/open condi-
tion. This solenoid valve is operated by the ECM.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNBEC0523S02Swirl Control Valve Control Solenoid ValveNBEC0523S0201The swirl control valve control solenoid valve responds to signals
from the ECM. When the ECM sends an ON (ground) signal, the
solenoid valve is bypassed to apply intake manifold vacuum to the
swirl control valve actuator. This operation closes the swirl control
valve. When the ECM sends an OFF signal, the vacuum signal is
cut and the swirl control valve opens.

ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNBEC0673Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-

5ÉC (41ÉF).
IBefore performing the following procedure, confirm that
battery voltage is more than 10V at idle, then stop engine
immediately.
With CONSULT-IINBEC0528S02011) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds.

3) Check ªCOOLAN TEMP/Sº in ªDATA MONITORº mode with
CONSULT-II.
4) Confirm COOLAN TEMP/S value is 40ÉC (104ÉF) or less.
If the value is more than 40ÉC (104ÉF), park the vehicle in a
cool place and retry from step 1.
5) Start engine and wait until COOLAN TEMP/S value increases
to more than 55ÉC (131ÉF).
