The active engine mount system comprises:
- Two engine mounts
- Active engine mount solenoid
- Connecting vacuum pipes.
The active engine mount solenoid is attached to a bracket which is mounted on the top of the automatic transmission main casing.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the vacuum operated engine mounts via the active engine mount solenoid. When the solenoid is energized by the PCM, vacuum from the variable flow oil pump with integral vacuum pump is applied to the active engine mounts. The active engine mounts become soft when the vacuum is applied.
The active engine mounts operate at engine idle speed and are switched off when the engine speed is more than 1250 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM).
