Idle Air Control Valve Resistance

Checking IAC valve electrically. Disconnect harness connector from IAC. See Fig 1.
Using a DVOM, switch to resistance range (mode). Measure resistance across IAC terminals. See Fig 2.
IAC resistance must be 7-11 ohms. If resistance is out of specification, replace IAC.
