Valve Body: Testing and Inspection
1. Connect the linear solenoid harness to the linear solenoid terminals.
2. Connect the No. 2 (RED: +) terminal of the linear solenoid connector to the positive battery terminal and the No. 1 (WHT: -) terminal to the
negative battery terminal. Check that the throttle valve moves.
3. Repeat the above steps 1 and 2.
NOTE: You can see the movement of the throttle valve through the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the throttle valve body.
4. If the throttle valve binds, or moves sluggishly, or the linear solenoid does not operate, replace the throttle valve body/linear solenoid as an
assembly.
5. If the linear solenoid does not operate, disconnect the linear solenoid harness from the linear solenoid assembly. Connect the battery directly to the
linear solenoid.
6. If the linear solenoid operates after connecting the battery, and the throttle valve movement is OK, replace the linear solenoid harness.
