Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks

Make sure the aspirator valve housing is not cracked, missing pieces or damaged.

CAUTION: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may cause damage to the connector.

CC1: CHECK THE PCM DTCS

Yes	No
Go to CC2.	For DTC P103E, Go to CC4. For DTC P103C, Go to CC5. For all others, No fault found. REFER to the Electronic Engine Controls article.

CC2: CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO THE ASPIRATOR VALVE

Measure the voltage between:

(+) VSV Connector, Harness Side	(-)
B+	Ground

Yes	No
Go to CC3.	VERIFY BJB fuse 36 (10A) is OK. If the fuse is OK, REPAIR the circuit. If the fuse is not OK, REFER to the Wiring Diagrams article to identify the cause of the circuit short.

CC3: CHECK THE ASPIRATOR VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Ignition OFF.
CC4: CHECK THE ASPIRATOR VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE
- Ignition OFF.
- VSV connector disconnected. (if not previously disconnected)
CC5: CHECK THE ASPIRATOR VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN
- Ignition OFF.
- VSV connector disconnected. (if not previously disconnected)

CC6: VERIFY ALL WIRING CONNECTIONS

Using a good light source, inspect all disconnected electrical connectors for the following:
- corrosion - install new connector or terminal and clean the module pins
- damaged or bent pins - install new terminals or pins
- pushed-out pins - install new pins as necessary
- spread terminals - install new terminals as necessary
Are the connectors free of corrosion, damaged pins, bent pins, pushed-out pins and spread terminals?

Yes	No
Go to CC7.	REPAIR the connector or terminals. REFER to the Connector Repair Procedures wiring diagrams for schematic and connector information.
