The VSV (Vacuum Solenoid Valve - also known as Boost Control Solenoid, Electro-Pneumatic Valve, Pressure Transducer or Electric Switch over Valve) is fitted to many vehicles, and will often have multiple VSV’s to assist with controlling:

OES ENGINEERED PRODUCTS • TECHNICAL & PRODUCT SUPPORTLEADERS IN VEHICLE MECHATRONICS

ADVANTAGES:

• Emission Systems• Exhaust gas recirculation systems (EGR)• Variable Geometry Turbochargers• 4WD engage / disengage systems

Vacuum Control Valves are used in many systems of a vehicle, the symptoms which indicate a malfunctioning or failed valve can be highly varied:

Vacuum Solenoid Valves are constantly monitored by the on board diagnosis system for continuity, short circuit and short circuit to ground. For this reason, failures are not reliably detected, and malfunctions are frequently attributed to other components.

TYPICAL COMPLAINTS:

• Insufficient power• Turbo lag (on turbocharged vehicles) • Black smoke• Hesitation• Vehicle in Limp Home Mode• No 4WD activation

POSSIBLE CAUSES: • The most frequent cause of a valve malfunctioning is water or dirt ingress. This may happen through leaky hose joints or broken hose

connections.• High ambient temperatures can cause intermittent malfunctions.• In rare cases malfunctions are caused by confused connection hoses.• A defective vacuum pump may deliver an insufficient low pressure for properly driving the valves

• High actuating forces from within a small space• The necessary low pressure auxiliary energy is available in almost all vehicles (due to the low pressure in the intake manifold or generated

by a vacuum pump)• Only a small amount of electric power is necessary for the actuating process

TESTING: The leak tightness of a vacuum solenoid valve can be checked with a manually operated low pressure vacuum pump. A simple electric test of the VSV will then be possible with a commercially available multi-meter.

The Goss range of vehicle mechatronic products is constantly expanding. We strive to offer the latest technology and highest quality products available. Providing our customers with a true genuine alternative. Visit www.goss.com.au for further information or to find your nearest Goss stockist.

CAUSED BY VACUUM SYSTEM / SOLENOID VALVESComplaint Potential Causes Remedies

• Engine chattering • Engine misfires• Limp home mode• Reduced braking performance

• Defective vacuum hoses• Leaking connectors on vacuum system• Leaking non-return valves / vacuum reservoir• Defective / porous diaphragms or seals on vacuum solenoid(s)• Leaks in intake manifolds

• Smoke test the vacuum system• Use a Vac Tester and multi-meter to test

the VSV’s functioning to correct specs• Replace any damaged components
