Intake Manifold Air Control Solenoid
2015-2021 Kia Sedona 3.3L V6
Description
The PCM has detected a malfunction in the intake manifold air control solenoid. This solenoid controls an intake manifold runner valve that optimizes airflow for different engine speed ranges.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Slight reduction in performance at certain RPMs
- Minor loss of low-end or high-end torque
Common Causes
- Faulty intake manifold air control solenoid
- Wiring issue to solenoid
- Carbon buildup on runner valve
- Vacuum leak at actuator
- Solenoid connector corrosion
Diagnostic Steps
- Test solenoid resistance
- Command solenoid with scan tool and verify operation
- Inspect solenoid wiring and connector
- Check runner valve for free movement
- Inspect vacuum supply if vacuum-actuated
Repair Notes
Replace the intake manifold air control solenoid or clean the runner valve if stuck.
