Idle Speed Control (ISC) Solenoid
- Solenoid is a by-pass air-type solenoid. Disconnect coolant hoses. Make sure coolant flows through ISC and air valve is open at room temperature.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect ISC solenoid electrical connector. Set DVOM to 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between ISC solenoid terminals. A diode is located in solenoid; connect DVOM positive test lead to VPWR terminal (Red wire) and negative lead to ISC terminal (White/Light Blue wire). Resistance should be 6-13 ohms. Replace solenoid as necessary.
