VARIABLE INTAKE-AIR SOLENOID VALVE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [LF]


B3E011318740T02

Construction

• Mainly composed of the solenoid coil, spring, and plunger.

Operation

Energized

• The solenoid coil magnetizes, pulling the plunger. The passage between A and B ports opens due to the plunger being pulled, and intake manifold vacuum is applied to the actuator.

Not energized

• The intake manifold vacuum passage is blocked, and the passage between ports B and C opens, depressurizing the actuator.
