Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool High Idle switch parameter while exercising the switch. The reading should change between ON/OFF.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the high idle switch.
2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
‹› If greater than 5 ohms, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool High Idle switch parameter is OFF.
‹› If not OFF, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
4. Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal C and ground. Verify the scan tool High Idle switch parameter is ON.
‹› If not ON, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the high idle switch.
