Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

NOTE: IAC valve may also be referred to as Idle Speed Control (ISC) valve.
  1. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Ensure idle speed is correct. See ADJUSTMENTS article.
  2. Apply parking brake and place transmission/transaxle in Neutral. Install Jumper Wire (SST 09843-18020) between terminals TE1 and E1 of data link connector No. 1. See Fig 1. Start engine and note engine RPM.
    NOTE: Data link connector No. 1 is located under below driver's seat.
  3. Engine RPM should increase to specified engine RPM for 5 seconds and then decrease approximately 200 RPM. See IAC VALVE ENGINE SPEED TESTING SPECIFICATIONS  table.
  4. If engine RPM is not as specified, check IAC valve resistance and operation. If engine RPM is within specification, remove jumper wire. Turn ignition off.
  5. To check IAC valve resistance, ensure ignition is off. Disconnect electrical connector from IAC valve located on lower area of throttle body. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminal B+ and each remaining terminal. See Fig 1.
  6. Replace IAC valve if resistance is not within specification. See IAC VALVE RESISTANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
