Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection

Idle speed is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) through the fuel injector pulse width and the idle air control valve. The controlled idle speed is calculated by the PCM based on engine load, temperature, and engine speed requirements. Refer to Powertrain Management/Testing and Inspection/Procedures/Flow of Diagnosis for Idle Speed concerns.
