High Idle Switch Diagnosis (with RPO UF3)
Circuit Description
The high idle system is used to provide additional engine power when needed for vehicle accessories. The engine control module (ECM) controls the
high idle operation based on various sensor inputs and the high idle switch on the instrument console. This system is not activated by temperatures as is
the high idle system for warm up, but the rest of the input and operation are the same. For more information on these parameters, Refer to Manual High
Idle System Description.
