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, 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.

Technical Service Bulletin
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.

Figure 4. T10 ball head torx bit.
3.

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

Figure 5. Vacuum hose (1), vacuum actuator (2), and ball head
(3)
4.

Reinstall the new actuator by following the above steps in reverse order.
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.

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.
