Sedona EX V6-3.5L (2002)
Idle Speed: Adjustments
Basic idle speed adjustment
NOTE:
1. Before adjusting idle speed, be sure to check the basic ignition timing and adjust if out of specification. Check that the spark plugs, injectors, ISC
motor compression, etc. are normal.
2. Clean the throttle body area.
Adjustment conditions:
Engine coolant temperature is 80 to 95 °C (176 to 205 °F).
Lights, electric cooling fan and all accessories are off.
Transaxle is in neutral ["P" or "N" range for A/T vehicles].
Steering wheel in straight forward position (Vehicles with power steering).
1. Loosen the accelerator cable.
2. Connect the HI-SCAN to the data link connector in the fuse box.
3. If the HI-SCAN is not used, connect a tachometer, and ground the NO.8 pin in the data link connector.
NOTE: Because the connection of the HI-SCAN grounds the diagnosis control terminal be sure that steps 2 and 3 be done before going to the
next step 4.
4. Ground the ignition timing adjustment terminal.
5. Run the engine for more than 5 seconds at an engine speed of 2,000 to 3,000 rpm.
6. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
7. Check that the engine rpm is within the standard value.
Basic idle speed : 700 ± 100 rpm
NOTE:
1. The engine speed on a new vehicle driven less than 500 Km (300 miles) may be 20 to 100 rpm lower than specification, but no adjustment is
necessary.
2. If the engine stalls or the engine speed is low after the vehicle has been driven a distance of 500 km (300 miles) or more, it is probable that
deposits are adhered to the throttle valve, so clean it. Refer to the throttle body cleaning.
8. If the basic idle speed is out of specification, adjust using the speed adjusting screw (SAS) for the standard rpm. In adjusting use a tachometer.
NOTE: If the idle speed is higher than specified, even with the speed adjusting screw (SAS) fully closed, check whether there is any indication
that the idle switch (fixed SAS) has been moved or not. If there is an indication that it has been moved, adjust the idle switch (fixed SAS). Refer to
the idle switch adjustment.
9. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
10. If the scan tool was not used, disconnect the data link connector.
11. Disconnect the lead wire from the ignition timing adjusting terminals.
12. Run the engine again and let it idle for about 10 minutes. Check that the engine is in normal idling condition.
13. Adjust the accelerator cable.
