3. On all models, if continuity is present when throttle valve is placed in idle position and if continuity is not present when throttle valve is open, switch is satisfactory. If continuity is present when throttle valve is in either condition, the contacts are bound together and ISC servo assembly should be replaced. If continuity is not present with throttle valve in either condition, grounding is defective and ISC servo assembly should be replaced.
