Component Inspection




On-Vehicle Inspection
1. Disconnect connector from IAC valve.




2. Check each coil of IAC valve for resistance.
If resistances is out of specification, replace.
3. Remove IAC valve from intake collector.
4. Connect connector to IAC valve.
5. Check that plunger of AC valve moves once and then stops as soon as ignition switch is turned OFF.

NOTE: This check should be performed by two people, one person operates ignition switch while the other checks plunger operation.

If plunger of IAC valve does not operate at all, check wire harnesses for open and short. If wire harnesses are in good condition, replace IAC valve and recheck.
