With cold engine, vacuum applied to Port A (center port) should leak from Port C (upper port).
Vacuum should NOT leak from Port B, if Port C is plugged with finger.

2.

Measure the resistance between the the electrical terminals.

3.

With warm engine, vacuum applied to Port A (center port) should leak from Port B (lower port).
Vacuum should NOT leak from Port C, if Port B is plugged with finger.

4.

Measure the resistance between the the electrical terminals.

NOTE:  The 3-Port Electrical Vacuum Switch could be opened or closed on a cold engine. After the engine warms up to operating temperature,
the valve will be in the reversed position (closed or opened).
