Variable Induction Position Sensor: Service and Repair

Intake Flap Motor with Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Assembly Tool (T10118)

• Commercially Available 1/4" Reversible Ratchet

• T30 TORX Bit

Removing

- Remove the engine cover/upper air filter housing. Refer to => [ Engine Cover/Upper Air Filter Housing ] Engine Cover/Upper Air Filter Housing.

- Remove the air guide bolts - arrows - and air guide from the lock carrier.





- Disconnect the vacuum lines - arrows -.





- Disconnect the electrical connectors for the following:

• It is easier to release the connectors that are hard to access when using (T10118).

• Intake flap motor (V157)

• Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge regulator valve (N80)

• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor (G71)

• Throttle valve control module (J338)

• Low fuel pressure sensor (G410)

- Disconnect the connectors - arrows -.





- Loosen the wiring bracket - A - and move the wiring harness to the side.

- Remove the connector bracket - arrows - from the coolant pipe.





• Loosen the nut - left arrow - just enough so that the bracket can be moved to the side.

• A plastic bracket is clipped in.

• To improve clarity, the intake manifold is shown removed, in the illustration.

- Pry the coupling rod - arrow - off the intake flap motor.





- Remove the bolts - 1 and 2 - using the commercially available 1/4" reversible ratchet and T30 TORX bit.

• The rear bolt - arrow - can only be removed with a reversible ratchet. The space between the bolt and coolant pipe is very small.





- Remove the intake flap motor from the intake manifold.

Installing

Installation is performed in the reverse order of removal, noting the following:

- Install the bolts - 1 and 2 - by hand to avoid damaging the threads.





If the intake flap motor or intake manifold was replaced, the intake flap motor must be adapted to the Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to "Guided Function" in the vehicle diagnostic tester.
