Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the idle speed control (ISC) motor. Ignition ON, verify the Idle Switch parameter displays OFF.
- If the Idle Switch parameter displays ON, test the idle switch signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the idle switch signal circuit and the negative terminal of the battery. Verify the Idle Switch parameter displays ON.
- If the Idle Switch parameter displays OFF, test the idle switch signal circuit for an open. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If the fuse in the jumper wire opens repair the short to voltage on the idle switch signal circuit.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit of the ISC motor and the negative terminal of the battery.
- If greater than 5 ohms, test the low reference circuit of the ISC motor for an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, test or replace the throttle body.
