Air Switching Valve Unit Test
- Remove the air switching valve (see Air Switching Valve Removal in the Engine Top End chapter).
- Set the hand tester [A] to the × 1 Ω range and connect it to the air switching valve terminals as shown in the figure.
Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394 Air Switching Valve Resistance Standard: 20
24 Ω at 20В°C (68В°F)

If the resistance reading is out of the specified value, replace it with a new one.
- Connect the 12 V battery [A] to the air switching valve terminals as shown in the figure.

- Blow the air to the intake air duct [A], and make sure does not flow the blown air from the outlet air ducts [B].

- Disconnect the 12 V battery.
- Blow the air to the intake air duct [A] again, and make sure flow the blown air from the outlet air ducts [B].
If the air switching valve dose not operate as described, replace it with a new one.

NOTE
To check air flow through the air switching valve, just blow through the air switching valve hose (intake side) [C].
