6.5.8 REPLACING THE AIR INLET SOLENOID VALVE
If an air inlet valve malfunction is caused by a faulty
solenoid signal, the solenoid will need to be replaced.

Refer to
Figure 6-9
, and the following procedures:
6.5.8.1 SOLENOID VALVE – PREPARATION
BEFORE MOUNTING
Before installing the new solenoid, the connector’s base
needs to be rotated so that the connector situates
correctly with the wire direction once it is plugged into the
solenoid block. To achieve the correct connector base
configuration:
1. Unpack the new solenoid valve from the kit
packaging.
2. Unscrew the screw [
A
] securing the connector
head [
B
] to the valve body [
G
], and gently
pull the connector away from the solenoid
block’s connection pins.
3. Remove the seal [
D
].
4. Set the solenoid block aside, taking care not
to bend or damage the three connector pins
[
E
].
5. Insert a screwdriver into the access indent on
the base [
K
]. Apply prying pressure to the
pry slot [
L
], so that the base comes away
from the connector head (shown in [
M
]).
6. Rotate the base so that the slit corresponding
to the only flat pin is closest to the wire
connection end of the valve connector head,
as shown in [
N
].
7. Hold connector and with your thumbs, push
the base into the connector head until it
snaps into place [
P
]. Base should be flush
with the connector head to assure a good
seating.
8. Replace the seal [
D
] over the pins [
E
] on the
valve body.
9. Gently push the connector head [
B
] onto the
valve body; the pins will now align the collar
side [
C
] of the connector head so that it
