Variable Intake System (VIS) Valves




Variable Intake System (VIS) Valves

The ECM operates the two VIS valve motors to open and close the VIS valves in a predetermined sequence based on engine speed and throttle opening. Each VIS valve motor has a permanent power feed from the main relay, feedback and signal connections with the ECM, and a permanent earth connection. When the engine starts, the VIS valve motors are both in the valve open position. To close the VIS valves, the ECM applies a power feed to the signal line of the applicable VIS valve motor. To open the VIS valves, the ECM disconnects the power feed from the signal line and the VIS valve motor is closed by the power feed from the main relay.
