AC-42 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM — Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV)
VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE (VSV)
(See page AC-22)
INSPECTION OF VSV
1. CHECK VACUUM CIRCUIT CONTINUITY IN VSV BY
BLOWING AIR INTO PIPES
(a) Connect the VSV terminals to the battery terminals
as illustrated.
(b) Blow into pipe "F" and check that air comes out of
pipe "E".
(c) Disconnect the battery.
(d) Blow into pipe "F" and check that air comes out of
the filter "G".
If a problem is found, repair or replace the VSV.
2. CHECK FOR SHORT CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity
between each terminal and the VSV body.
If there is continuity, replace the VSV.
3. CHECK FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the
two terminals.
Resistance: 38 — 43 Ω (cold)
If resistance is not within specification, replace the VSV.
