Is the measured resistance within specification?
YES
1. Go to " 2 Check PCM" as follows.
NO
1. Substitute with a known - good IATS and check for proper operation.
  If the problem is corrected, replace IATS and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

Check PCM
1. IG "OFF".
2. Connect scantool and Engine "ON".
3. Select simulation function on scantool.
4. Simulate voltage at terminal 3 of IATS signal connector.

5. Does the signal value of IATS change according to simulation voltage?
  YES
  1. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  NO
  1. Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation.
    If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
    
    CAUTION: There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM.
    Before or after testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others
