Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
CHECKING THE OPERATION SOUND
1. Check to be sure that the engine coolant temperature is 20°C (68°F) or below.
NOTE: Disconnecting the engine coolant temperature sensor connector and connecting the harness-side of the connector to another engine
coolant temperature sensor that is at 20°C (68°F) or below is also okay.
2. Check that the operation sound of the stepper motor can be heard after the ignition is switched ON then OFF (but without starting the motor).
3. If the operation sound cannot be heard, check the stepper motor's activation circuit. If the circuit is normal, it is probable that there is a
malfunction of the stepper motor or of the engine control module.
CHECKING THE COIL RESISTANCE
1. Disconnect the idle air control motor connector and connect the special tool (test harness).
2. Measure the resistance between terminal 2 (white clip of the special tool) and either terminal 1 (red clip) or terminal 3 (blue clip) of the connector
at the idle air control motor side.
Standard value: 28-33 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]
3. Measure the resistance between terminal 5 (green clip of the special tool) and either terminal 6 (yellow clip) or terminal 4 (black clip) of the
connector at the idle air control motor side.
Standard value: 28-33 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]
