Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers in the diagnostic procedures.

1. 1
   
   A Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls prompts the technician to complete some basic checks and store the freeze frame data, if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data taken when fault occurred. Information is then stored in the scan tool for later reference.
2. 4
   
   This step tests whether PCM can operate the IAC valve using the scan tool commands. IAC valve can be commanded to increase and/or decrease engine speed by using the scan tool RPM CONTROL function. Remember to clear any DTCs and run engine until engine reaches a normal operating temperature before attempting RPM Control using the scan tool.
3. 5
   
   This step checks the operation of both electrical load idle-up circuits. If there is no increase in IAC Motor Command percentage when the electrical accessory is turned ON, idle-up circuit may be inoperative or always ON.
4. 6
   
   This step checks the operation of the A/C idle-up circuit. If there is no increase in the IAC Motor Command percentage when A/C compressor is engaged, idle-up circuit may be inoperative or always ON.
5. 10
   
   This step simulates the Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal supplied to the IAC valve by PCM by rapidly grounding and un-grounding terminal No. 1 of the IAC valve.
6. 12
   
   The most likely cause of no ignition positive voltage is an open circuit condition between the IAC valve connector terminal No. 2 and the splice. A shorted or inoperative EFI relay circuit will cause a no-start condition.
