P1090 SUBARU Meaning
The tumble generator system uses an electronically controlled throttle valve in each intake port.
During cold idle, the tumble generator system will redirect the air charge through another port. These ports have a finishing characteristic that causes the air/fuel mixture to swirl and tumble significantly and creates better combustion. This results in better idle quality, cleaner emissions, and easier cold starts.
Once the vehicle is warmed up, the tumble generator system will be disabled and the intake air charge will be directed through the standard intake ports.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) sets when the tumble generator valve is detected open when the desired position is closed.
