On-Vehicle Inspection
1. INSPECT IAC VALVE OPERATIONa. Initial conditions:
- Engine at normal operating temperature
- Idle speed checked correctly
- Transmission in neutral position
- A/C switch OFF
b. Using SST connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
c. After engine speed is kept at approx. 1,000 rpm for 5 seconds, check that it returns to the idle speed.
If the engine speed operation is not as specified, check the AC valve, wiring and ECM.
d. Remove the SST from the DLC1.

2. INSPECT IAC VALVE RESISTANCE
NOTE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following sentences express the temperature of the coils themselves. "Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).
a. Disconnect the IAC valve connector.
b. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminal +B and other terminals (RSC, RSO).
Resistance: If the resistance is not as specified, replace the IAC valve.
c. Reconnect the IAC valve connector.
3. INSPECT AIR ASSIST SYSTEM
a. Initial conditions:
- Engine at normal operating temperature
- Idle speed checked correctly
- Transmission in neutral position
- A/C switch OFF
b. Using SST, connect terminals TE1 and E1 of the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
c. After the engine speed is kept at 900 -1,300 rpm for 10 seconds, check that it returns to the idle speed.
d. Stop the engine.
e. Disconnect the air assist hose from the IAC valve, and plug it.
f. Start the engine and check that the idle speed reaches 500 rpm or below (the engine may stall).
If the idle does not reach 500 rpm or below, check for a leak between the air assist hoses, pipe and injectors.
g. Remove the SST from the DLC1.
SST 09843-18020
h. Reconnect the air assist hose to the AC valve.
