CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Do no perform the Active Test with the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly removed.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
The connector for the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly can be connected on either the left or right side.
When installing the wire harness after performing repairs, install it at the specified position.
Connect the No. 1 exhaust change valve driver to the No. 1 exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly connected to the white wires with protective coating
Connect the No. 2 exhaust change valve driver to the No. 2 exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly connected to the black wires with protective coating.
During troubleshooting, refer to the illustration below to check the colors of the profective coating of the exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly wire harness.
| *a | No. 1 exhaust change valve driver | *b | No. 2 exhaust change valve driver |
| *c | Wire harness (white or black wires with protective coating) | *d | Exhaust pipe gas control actuator sub-assembly (No. 1: white wires with protective coating) (No. 2: black wires with protective coating) |
