Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation

Idle Air Control Valve Operation

PURPOSE

The idle air control valve (IAC) is used to maintain proper idle speeds during varying conditions.

LOCATION

Mounted to the under side of the throttle body.

CONSTRUCTION

The valve is a duty-cycle operated air control valve.

OPERATION

The IAC receives a continuous signal the ECM. By varying the ON/OFF time ratio of the signal, the ECM is able to control the size of the air
passage through the valve. Air passing through the valve bypasses the throttle which, causes an increase in idle speed.
