IACV Control Circuit: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus GS 430. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This circuit opens and closes the Intake Air Control Valve (IACV) in response to the engine load in order to increase the intake efficiency (ACIS: Acoustic Control Induction System).

When the engine speed is 4,700 rpm or more and the throttle valve opening angle is 60° or more, the IACV is open (VSV: OFF). At all other times, the IACV is closed (VSV: ON).
