Air induction system

A vehicle, comprising:

• an engine bay and a passenger cabin;
• an engine having an electronic control unit (ECU) provided in the engine bay;
• an air intake system located in the engine bay and including a housing, an air snorkel attached to the housing that is configured to provide air to the engine via the housing from the engine bay, and a sensor positioned in the housing;
• a brake duct configured for receipt of ambient air located exterior to the vehicle and to direct the ambient air to a brake assembly to cool the brake assembly;
• an auxiliary duct that connects the brake duct and the air snorkel, the auxiliary duct having a first end coupled to the brake duct and a second end coupled to the air snorkel;
• a valve positioned proximate the first end of the auxiliary duct and configured to permit or prevent the ambient air from entering the auxiliary duct;
• a motor configured to actuate the valve between an open and a closed position and in communication with a controller, the motor being configured to open and close the valve based on an instruction received from the controller, and the controller being configured to instruct the motor to open and close the valve based on a user input;
• and
• a control knob located in the passenger cabin that is in communication with the controller and configured to receive the user input,
• wherein the valve is configured to permit the ambient air to cool the brake assembly when the valve is in an open position that permits the ambient air to reach the brake assembly and prevents the ambient air from travelling from the brake duct into the first end of the auxiliary duct;
• and
• wherein the valve is configured to permit the ambient air to enter the auxiliary duct and travel to the air intake system when the valve is in the closed position that permits the ambient air to enter the first end of the auxiliary duct from the brake duct, and prevents the ambient air from reaching the brake assembly.
