Vacuum Switching Valve Inspection Guide

The document provides instructions for inspecting a vacuum switching valve (VSV) in an air conditioning system. The instructions are: 1. Disconnect the vacuum hoses and connector from the VSV. 2. Check the vacuum circuit continuity in the VSV by blowing into pipes and ensuring air flows through only one pipe at a time. 3. Check for any short circuits between terminals and the VSV body using an ohmmeter.

VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE (VSV)


INSPECTION OF VSV
1. DISCONNECT VACUUM HOSES AND CONNECTOR
FROM VSV
2. CHECK VACUUM CIRCUIT CONTINUITY IN VSV BY
BLOWING AIR INTO PIPE
(a) Connect the VSV terminals to the battery terminals
as shown.
(b) Blow into pipe (A) , and check that air comes out of
pipe (B), but does not come out of filter (C).
(c) Disconnect the battery.
(d) Blow into pipe (B) and check that air comes out of
filter (C), but does not come out of pipe (A) .
If a problem is found, replace the VSV.

3. CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT


Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be–
tween each terminal and the VSV body.
If a short circuit is found, repair or replace the VSV.

4. CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT


Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between
two terminals of the VSV.
Specified resistance: 37 – 42 Ω at 200C (680F)
If resistance value is not as specified, replace the VSV.
