Technical Service Bulletin
Technical Background
One of the vacuum actuators on intake runner bank 1 or bank 2 is defective. It is possible that the membrane on
the vacuum actuator may tear. As a result, the intake manifold flaps do not function.

Production Solution
Updated vacuum actuator.

Service
1.

Ensure that the fault is not caused by a
defective vacuum line by using the vacuum
pump (Figure 1) to confirm there is no leak
in the vacuum supply to the actuators.
The vacuum lines are working correctly if
they are able to maintain vacuum while the
actuators are disconnected and the lines are
plugged up.

Figure 1. Vacuum pump VAS 6213
2.

After confirming that the fault is not due to defective vacuum lines, test the vacuum actuator. Apply vacuum
to at least 15” of water. If the vacuum does not hold (goes all the way to zero), replace both vacuum
actuators (bank 1 and bank 2 actuator) by following the instructions below. Both actuators must be replaced
in order to prevent any repeat repairs.

Replacing the passenger side vacuum actuator
1.

Unclip the secondary air injection line from
the bracket (Figure 2, 1) and disconnect the
coupling (Figure 2, 2) by pushing both
release tabs at the same time (one in the
front one in the back).

Figure 2. Bracket (1) and coupling (2) to disconnect from the
secondary air injection line
2.

Remove the intake manifold runner position
sensor by using a ball head torx bit to
remove the screws (Figure 3, arrows).
Note:
To prevent the sensor from falling, do not
disconnect the connector.
Tip: Place a shop rag under the screws
to catch any screws that drop.
Tip: To prevent losing the screws, use
a non-bonding adhesive on the tip of the ball
torx bit and use a magnet to hold them
during removal.

Tip: The T10 ball head torx bit is sourced locally (Figure
4). Examples include: Snap-on Tools SDM32KT or SDMBT10,
or VIM Tools VIS108 or VIS112.

3.

Disconnect the vacuum hose (Figure 5, 1),
then pry the vacuum actuator (Figure 5, 2)
off of the ball head (Figure 5, 3).

Tip: If the intake runner position sensor has lost its zero position, ensure that the rectangular hole of
the sensor lines up with the rectangular shaft. The zero position of the bank 1 sensor is ~15° off the
clockwise end stop and the bank 2 sensor is ~15° off the counterclockwise end stop. Do not use any force to
install the sensor.
Replacing the driver side vacuum actuator
1.

Raise the vehicle and remove the front noise insulation panel.

2.

Remove the screw (Figure 6, arrow) from
the coolant line and upper section of oil
pan. This will allow the coolant lines to be
moved out of the way when removing the
sensor.

Figure 6. Screw to be removed from coolant line and upper
section of oil pan (arrow)
3.

Place the drip tray for workshop crane VAS 6208 under the engine.

4.

Disconnect the following (Figure 7):
• Charge air pressure sensor
• Engine coolant temperature sensor
• Camshaft position sensor
• Solenoid valve

Figure 7. Sensors and valve that need to be disconnected are
circled in red.
5.

Lay the wiring harness aside.

8.

Remove coolant hoses (Figure 10, arrows)
and close them off with fitting caps (yellow
caps from VAS 6122). Move the coolant
hoses to the side for access to the intake
runner position sensor.

Figure 10. Coolant hoses (arrows)
9.

Collect any coolant that is draining.

10. Remove the intake manifold runner
position sensor by using a ball head torx
bit to remove the bolts. To ensure good
torx bit to bolt head contact, apply force in
the direction of the arrow (Figure 11,
arrow).
Note:
To prevent the sensor from falling, do not
disconnect the connector.

Figure 11. Apply force in the direction of the arrow.
