Electric Supercharger Bypass Valve
| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Electrical connector - Powertrain Control Module (PCM) |
| 2 | Engine coolant inlet - From charge air coolant pump |
| 3 | Engine coolant outlet - To charge air radiator |
The electric supercharger bypass valve is installed on the charge air cooler. The electric supercharger bypass valve bypasses the intake air from the turbocharger to the charge air cooler.
The temperature of the intake air from the turbocharger increases. The charge air coolant pump circulates the engine coolant from the charge air radiator to cool the electric supercharger bypass valve. The PCM controls the electric supercharger bypass valve with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal.
