IDLE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM CHECK
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the engine
idle speed with the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. To in-
crease the idle speed, the ECM pulls the IAC pintle
away from its seat, allowing more air to pass by the
throttle body. To decrease the idle speed, it extends the
IAC valve pintle toward its seat, reducing bypass air
flow. A scan tool will read the ECM commands to the
IAC valve in counts. The higher counts indicate more air
bypass (higher idle). The lower counts indicate less air is
allowed to bypass (lower idle).
Diagnostic Aids
If the idle is too high, stop the engine. Fully extend the
Idle Air Control (IAC) valve with a IAC driver. Start the
engine. If the idle speed is above 950 rpm, locate and
repair the vacuum leak. Also, check for a binding throttle
plate or throttle linkage or an incorrect base idle setting.
Idle Air Control Valve Reset Procedure
Whenever the battery cable or the Engine Control Mod-
ule (ECM) connector or the ECM fuse EF6 is discon-
nected or replaced, the following idle learn procedure
must be performed:
1. Turn the ignition ON for 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition OFF for 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition ON for 5 seconds.
4. Start the engine in park/neutral.
5. Allow the engine to run until the engine coolant is
above 85_C (185_F ).
6. Turn the A/C ON for 10 seconds, if equipped.
7. Turn the A/C OFF for 10 seconds, if equipped.
8. If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic trans-
axle, apply the parking brake. While pressing the
brake pedal, place the transaxle in D (drive).
9. Turn the A/C ON for 10 seconds, if equipped.
10. Turn the A/C OFF for 10 seconds, if equipped.
11. Turn the ignition OFF. The idle learn procedure is
complete.
