Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Removal/Installation

The exhaust butterfly valve actuator sensor is built in the exhaust butterfly valve actuator. So, the sensor itself can not be removed. Remove the exhaust butterfly valve actuator (see Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Removal).

Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Input Voltage Inspection

NOTE

• Be sure the battery is fully charged.

• Turn the ignition switch OFF.
• Remove the front seat (see Front Seat Removal in the Frame chapter).
• Disconnect the exhaust butterfly valve actuator sensor lead connector (3 pins connector) and connect the harness adapter [A] between these connector.

Special Tool - Throttle Sensor Setting Adapter #1: 57001 -1400

• Connect a digital meter to the harness adapter leads.

Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Input Voltage
 Connections to Adapter:
  Digital Meter (+) → Y/W (actuator W) lead
  Digital Meter (−) → BK/BL (actuator BK) lead

• Measure the input voltage with the engine stopped and with the connector joined.
• Turn the ignition switch ON.

Input Voltage
 Standard: DC 4.75 - 5.25 V

• Turn the ignition switch OFF.

  If the reading is within the standard, check the output voltage (see Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Output Voltage Inspection).

  If the reading is out of the standard, remove the ECU and check the wiring for continuity between main harness connectors.

  • Disconnect the ECU and sensor connectors.

Wiring Inspection
 ECU Connector [A] ←→
  Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Connector [B]
   BL lead (ECU terminal 5) [C]
   BR/BK lead (ECU terminal 33) [D]

If the wiring is good, check the ECU for its ground and power supply (see ECU Power Supply Inspection).

If the ground and power supply are good, replace the ECU (see ECU Removal/Installation).

Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Output Voltage Inspection

NOTE

• Before this inspection, confirm the pulley [A] is original position (see Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Installation).

• Disconnect:
  2 pins Connector [B]
  3 pins Connector [C]

• Connect the harness adapter [A] between the 3 pins connectors.

Special Tool - Throttle Sensor Setting Adapter #1: 57001 -1400

• Connect a digital meter to the harness adapter leads.

Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Output Voltage
 Connections to Adapter:
  Digital Meter (+) → BL (actuator Y) lead
  Digital Meter (−) → BK/BL (actuator BK) lead

• Measure the output voltage at the 3 pins connector of the exhaust butterfly valve actuator when the pulley is original position.
• Turn the ignition switch ON.

Output Voltage
 Standard: DC 3.46 - 3.76 V at pulley original position

• Turn the ignition switch OFF.

  If the reading is out of the standard, check the exhaust butterfly valve actuator sensor resistance (see Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Resistance Inspection).

  If the reading is within the standard, remove the ECU and check the wiring for continuity between main harness connectors.

  • Disconnect the ECU and sensor connectors.

Wiring Inspection
 ECU Connector [A] ←→
  Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Connector [B]
   R/BK lead (ECU terminal 28) [C]
  BR/BK lead (ECU terminal 33) [D]

If the wiring is good, check the ECU for its ground and power supply (see ECU Power Supply Inspection).

If the ground and power supply are good, replace the ECU (see ECU Removal/Installation).

Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Resistance Inspection

• Turn the ignition switch OFF.
• Disconnect the exhaust butterfly valve actuator sensor connector (3 pins connector) [A].
• Connect a digital meter [B] to the exhaust butterfly valve actuator sensor connector.
• Measure the exhaust butterfly valve actuator sensor resistance.

Exhaust Butterfly Valve Actuator Sensor Resistance
 Connections: W lead [C] ←→ BK lead [D]
 Standard: 4 - 6 kΩ

If the reading is out of the standard, replace the exhaust butterfly valve actuator.

If the reading within the standard, but the problem still exists, replace the ECU (see ECU Removal/Installation).
