New Generation Star (NGS) Tester, Connected to DLC-2
A) Connect the Special Service Tool (SST) New Generation Star (NGS) tester.
B) Verify that diagnostic trouble code No. P0505 is not displayed. If code No. P0505 is shown, carry out troubleshooting of the code No. P0505.
C) Change the duty value of the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to 100% by using the SIMULATION TEST function and verify that the idle speed
increases.
1. If the idle speed increases, replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
2. If the idle speed does not change, replace the BAC valve.
4. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and run it at idle.
5. Turn the electrical loads on and verify that the engine speed is within the specification.
