Town & Country Van 2WD V6-230 3.8L VIN L SMFI (1997)
Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation
PURPOSE
Maintains optimum idle speed under varying engine loads.
Prevents deceleration die out.
OPERATION
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) calculates proper idle speed using information from throttle position, vehicle speed, and coolant temperature
sensors and brake, and neutral/safety switches.
PCM controls idle speed by actuating motor, varying air flow through bypass in throttle body.
Prevents decel die out by increasing air flow when throttle is closed suddenly.
CIRCUIT OPERATION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) operates the Idle Air Control (IAC) motor through 4 circuits - K59, K60, K40, and K39. Each circuit
connects to separate cavities of the PCM connectors.
-
Circuit K59 connects to cavity 58.
-
Circuit K60 connects to cavity 49.
-
Circuit K40 connects to cavity 48.
-
Circuit K39 connects to cavity 57.
