AC Idle Up Vacuum Switching Valve (VSV) Replacement (1 Viewer)

[84Cressida]

Reviving this old thread because my VSV is clicking on and off and worried it may be on it's way out. (And I also now own the Cruiser that started this thread )

Is this part still available or is there an alternative? Below is what I have now.

That’s 88690-32280. Call a dealer and ask if still in stock (and how many)

That valve is easy to test: just apply 12v and should click and 'open' to allow vacuum/air and when 12v removed it's closed. You can try cleaning it, including pulling off that black cylinder thing, which is a filter, and blowing it out. A drop or two of WD40 in the nipple and in the tube where the filter is sometimes frees up the solenoid.

Otherwise, many of those valves are still available, and only about $30ish

I'll give it a shot. I know it's working, just starting to make a loud constant clicking noise.

I'll do that. Wouldn't hurt to have spare parts around.

FWIW, and for future searchers, all these VSVs function identically, what differs is the connector and the attachment bracket.

Also, Rockauto sells made-in-Japan Aisin VCVs (same thing - Aisin is also a Toyota VSV OEM) that can be adapted to whatever bracket you have. You have to swap the little black cylinder-filter over, as Toyota sells that separately (not in USA). Problem is the connector is different and you'll need to get the proper modern pigtail, 90980-11162 . Lots of aftermarket pigtail on ebay under that part #

Were you able to inquire with them?

Haven't had the chance, but plan to this week.
