Idle Control Valve: Description and Operation

ISC Solenoid Valve

PURPOSE

The idle speed control (ISC) solenoid controls the amount of air allowed to bypass the throttle plate.  Using this solenoid the ECU is able to
accurately maintain correct idle speed.

LOCATION

The solenoid is located at the air cleaner on the right side of the engine compartment.

CONSTRUCTION

The ISC valve utilizes a duty solenoid design so that the amount of valve lift is determined by the operating frequency.

OPERATION

Whenever the engine is running, the ISC solenoid functions. The ECU uses a duty-cycle pulse to determine the rate of air flow through the
solenoid.
