Test NTC-9B - Checking Idle Air Control Motor

NOTE: Perform TEST NTC-9A  before proceeding.
NOTE: For connector terminal identification, refer to CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS article in this section.
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connectors. Inspect connectors and terminals for damage. Repair connectors and terminals as necessary and perform TEST VER-2A . If connector and terminals are okay, go to next step.
  2. Using an external ohmmeter, check resistance of IAC motor connector, driver No. 1 circuit (Violet/Black wire) between IAC motor connector and PCM Black connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, perform TEST NTC-9C . If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open driver No. 1 circuit and go to next step.
  3. Check resistance of IAC motor connector, driver No. 2 circuit (Brown/White wire) between IAC motor connector and PCM Black connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, perform TEST NTC-9C . If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open driver No. 2 circuit and go to next step.
  4. Check resistance of IAC motor connector, driver No. 3 circuit (Yellow/Black wire) between IAC motor connector and PCM Black connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, perform TEST NTC-9C . If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open driver No. 3 circuit and go to next step.
  5. Check resistance of IAC motor connector, driver No. 4 circuit (Gray/Red wire) between IAC motor connector and PCM Black connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, perform TEST NTC-9C . If resistance is 5 ohms or more, repair open No. 4 driver circuit and perform TEST VER-2A .
