*: The ECM determines the start signal status by the signal of engine speed and battery voltage.

Swirl control valve has a valve portion in the intake passage of each cylinder.
While idling and during low engine coolant temperature, the swirl control valve closes, Thus the velocity of the F
air in the intake passage increases, promoting the vaporization of the fuel and producing a swirl in the com-
bustion chamber.
Because of this operation, this system tends to increase the burning speed of the gas mixture, improve fuel
consumption, and increase the stability in running conditions. G
Also, except when idling and during low engine coolant temperature, 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. H
The swirl control valve is operated by the ECM.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Swirl Control Valve K
Swirl control valve consists of actuator and valve. The valve is
installed in the intake manifold, and the actuator is connected to the
rear end of the valve shaft. L
The swirl control valve uses a step motor which has four winding
phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the ECM.
Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each time an M
ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes. When no change in
the control position is needed, the ECM does not issue the pulse sig-
nal. A certain voltage signal is issued so that the valve remains at
that particular opening.

Swirl Control Valve Position Sensor
Swirl control valve position sensor is installed on the intake manifold.
The sensor is connected to the front end of the valve shaft of the
swirl control valve.
The sensor responds to the valve shaft movement. This sensor is a
kind of potentiometer which transforms the swirl control valve posi-
tion into output voltage, and emits the voltage signal to the ECM.

DTC Confirmation Procedure UBS00BC0

NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before
conducting the next test.
With CONSULT-II
1. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
2. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Start engine and let it idle for at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 2 seconds.
SEF174Y
6. Start engine and let it idle for at least 10 seconds.
7. Maintain engine speed at about 2,000 rpm for at least 10 seconds.
8. Turn ignition switch OFF, wait at least 10 seconds and then turn ON.
If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-409, "Diagnostic Procedure" .
If 1st trip DTC is not detected, go to next step.
9. Perform step 5 through 8 three times.
With GST
Follow the procedure “With CONSULT-II” above.

CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.
