Without CONSULT-II

  1. Turn ignition on, and wait for one second. Turn ignition off, and wait for at least 10 seconds. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature.
  2. Ensure all conditions under PRE-CONDITIONING  are met. Turn ignition off and wait at least 10 seconds. Start engine and allow engine to idle for 30 seconds or more.
  3. Disconnect throttle position sensor 6-pin harness connector, and reconnect within 5 seconds. Wait 20 seconds. Ensure that idle speed is 700-800 RPM. If idle speed is not as specified, Idle Air Volume Learning will not be complete. Go to next step. If idle speed is as specified, go to step  5.
  4. If Idle Air Volume Learning cannot be performed successfully, check following:
    • Ensure throttle valve is fully closed.
    • Check PCV valve operation.
    • Ensure no vacuum leaks exist.
    • Adjust closed throttle position switch and reset memory. See THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH, IGNITION TIMING & IDLE SPEED in ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article.
    • If all of the above items check okay, engine components and installation are suspect. Perform appropriate BASIC INSPECTION procedure in ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article.
    • If after engine starts any of following occurs: engine stalls, idle speed fluctuates or has blown fuses related to IACC system, repair as necessary. After repair, repeat Idle Air Volume Learning procedure.
    If no problem is found, It may be helpful to perform TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
  5. Quickly increase engine speed 2 or 3 times. Ensure that idle speed and ignition timing are within specifications. See THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, IGNITION TIMING & IDLE SPEED in ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS article.
