Code 35 - IAC Idle Speed Error Without Tech 1: Notes

Code 35 will set when closed throttle engine speed is 150 RPM greater or less than correct idle speed for 20 seconds.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. IAC driver is used to extend and retract IAC valve. Movement is verified by an engine speed change. If no change in speed occurs, valve can be retested when removed from throttle body.
  2. Checks IAC movement quality from step 1). Between 700-1500 RPM, engine speed should change smoothly with each flash of tester light in both extend and retract. If IAC valve is retracted beyond control range (about 1500 RPM), many flashes in extend position may occur before engine speed begins to drop. This is normal on certain engines. Fully extending IAC may cause engine to stall. This may be normal.
  3. Steps 1) and 2) verified proper IAC valve operation, while this step checks IAC circuits. Each light on node light should flash Red and Green while IAC valve is cycled. While sequence of color is not important, check circuits for faults beginning with poor terminal contacts if either light is off or does not flash Red and Green.
NOTE: For IAC reset procedure, see IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE in ADJUSTMENTS article in this section.
