Air Diverter Valve: Description and Operation

ASV Cross-Section:

The air switching valve (ASV), operated by vacuum, controls the flow of air for injection.

A vacuum solenoid valve (VSV) provides a vacuum switching function for the air switching valve, in response from an electrical signal, to control a vacuum servomotor.

When the solenoid is energized, ported vacuum flows to the air switching valve causing it to open. When the solenoid is de-energized, ported vacuum is not applied to the air switching valve, causing it to close.
