Diagnostic Test

  1. IAC MOTOR OPERATION 
    NOTE: If the engine will not idle, maintain an engine speed between 800 and 1500 RPM.
    1. Start the engine.
    2. Allow the engine to idle.
    3. With a scan tool, read the IAC Current.

      Is the IAC Current above 999 mA?

      Yes 

      • Go to step  2

      No 

  2. IAC MOTOR 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the IAC Motor harness connector.
    3. With the scan tool, monitor the IAC Current.
    4. Ignition on, engine not running.

      Does the scan tool display IAC Current at 0mA?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  3
  3. (K961) IAC SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.
    3. Ignition on, engine not running.
    4. Measure the voltage on the (K961) IAC Signal circuit in the IAC Motor harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volt?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  4
  4. (K61) IAC MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE

    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the voltage on the (K61) IAC MOTOR CONTROL circuit in the IAC Motor harness connector.

      Is the voltage above 0.5 of a volt?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  5
  5. (K61) IAC MOTOR CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K961) IAC RETURN CIRCUIT

    1. Measure the resistance across the (K961) IAC Signal circuit and the (K61) IAC MOTOR CONTROL circuit in the IAC Motor harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go to step  6
  6. PCM 
    NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.
    1. Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

      Were there any problems found?

      Yes 

      No
