Idle Air Control (IAC) Solenoid

  1. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect IAC solenoid electrical connector. Set DVOM to 200-ohm scale. Measure resistance between IAC solenoid terminals. A diode is located in solenoid; connect DVOM positive test lead to VPWR terminal (Red wire) and negative lead to IAC terminal (White/Light Blue wire). Resistance should be 6-13 ohms. If resistance is not as specified, replace solenoid. If resistance is okay, go to next step.
  2. Restore electrical connections. Using New Generation Star scan tester, access IAC PID. Check PID values while driving vehicle. See IAC PID VALUES  table.
