Idle-Up Operation Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in the following condition:
- Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 90°C (176.0 - 194.0°F)
- Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: Set to OFF
- Transmission: Neutral ("N" or "P" for vehicles with A/T)
- Steering wheel: Straightforward
Check whether or not the idle speed is the standard value. < 2.4L Engine >: Refer to On-vehicle Service - BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT .
< 3.0L Engine >: Refer to On-vehicle Service - BASIC IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT .

Standard value:

< 2.4L engine > 750 +/- 100 r/min

< 3.0L engine > 700 +/- 100 r/min

NOTE: Check 4 minutes after idling begins.
When the A/C is running after turning the A/C switch to ON, and the blower switch to the 3(MH) or 4(HI) position, check to be sure that the idle speed is at the standard value.
Standard value: 850 +/- 100 r/min

NOTE: The engine control module < M/T >/the powertrain control module < A/T > determines whether the A/C load is low or high according to the output signal from the automatic compressor controller.

NOTE: It is not necessary to make an adjustment, because the idling speed is automatically adjusted by the ISC system. If, however, a deviation from the standard value occurs for some reason, check the ISC system.

NOTE: Check 4 minutes after idling begins.
