(2) Water by–pass hose (from water inlet housing)
(3) Water by–pass hose (from EGR valve)

INSPECTION OF ISC VALVE

1.

INSPECT ISC VALVE RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals (B1–S1 and S3, B2–S2 and S4).

Resistance: 10–30

If resistance is not as specified, replace the ISC valve.

2.

INSPECT ISC VALVE OPERATION
(a) Apply battery voltage to terminals B1 and B2, and while

repeatedly grounding S1–S2–S3–S4–S1 in sequence,
and check that the valve moves toward the closed
position.

(b) Apply battery voltage to terminals B1 and B2, and while

repeatedly grounding S4–S3–S2–S1–S4 in sequence,
and check that the valve moves toward the open
position.

If operation is not as specified, replace the ISC valve.
