The active engine mount system comprises:
- Two engine mounts
- Active engine mount solenoid
- Connecting vacuum pipes.
The PCM controls the vacuum operated engine mounts via an active engine mount solenoid. The mounts operate (active engine mount solenoid activated which makes the mounts soft) at idle speed, and are switched off when the engine speed goes above a predetermined threshold. The threshold is engine speed dependant; the active engine mounts are switched off when the engine speed increases to 1250 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).
