Kawasaki Ninja Service Manual / Electrical System / Air Intake Solenoid Valve / Air Intake Solenoid Valve Unit Test

Remove the air intake solenoid valve (see Air Intake Solenoid Valve Removal in the Fuel System (DFI) chapter).
Set the hand tester [A] to the × 1 Ω range and connect it to the air intake solenoid valve terminals as shown in the figure.

Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001-1394

Air Intake Solenoid Valve Resistance Standard: 22 26 Ω at 20°C (68°F)

If the resistance reading is out of the specified value, replace it with a new one.
