Idle Speed Control Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION:

The ECM controls a solenoid to regulate an opening at the throttle body. The amount of the opening determines the idle speed. The ISC is regulated
according to engine load. A stalling condition or rough idle could be caused by the ISC valve not functioning properly.

TEST DESCRIPTION:  The numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.

1.

This checks if B+ is present at solenoid.

 

2.

This checks if the ECM is supplying a ground path.

3.

This checks the resistance of the ISC solenoid. Should be 11-14 ohms at 20°C (68°F).
