DTC P1294: Target Idle Not Reached: Description

Engine speed is monitored with engine idling, transmission in Drive, and no Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) or Throttle Position (TP) sensor DTCs present. DTC will set in Powertrain Control Module (PCM) memory when PCM senses engine speed at more than 200 RPM more or 100 RPM less than target idle speed for 14 seconds. Three separate failures are required to set a bad trip. One bad trip is required to set DTC. Possible causes for DTC to set are: vacuum leak, defective throttle body, throttle plate or linkage improperly positioned, defective connectors or defective wiring.
