      1. After the engine switch is turned off, confirm that the swirl control valve opens between approximately 10° and the fully open position.
      2. After the engine is started and is idling, confirm that the swirl control valve is fully closed.
      3. After the engine switch is turned off again, confirm that the swirl control valve opens between approximately 10° and the fully open position.
    3. Inspection procedure when using the intelligent tester.
      1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
      2. Start the engine and turn the intelligent tester main switch ON.
