Test NTC-9A - Checking Idle Air Control Motor
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1995 Dodge Ram Van, 1995 Dodge Pickup, 1995 Dodge Dakota, and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
For circuit and connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION . For wiring diagram, see WIRING DIAGRAMS section at the end of this article.
- Using scan tool, set engine speed to 1100 RPM. If engine speed set at 1050-1150 RPM, Idle Air Control (IAC) motor is operating properly. Test is complete. If engine speed did not set at 1050-1150 RPM, return engine to normal idle speed. Disconnect Idle Air Control (IAC) motor connector.
- Using scan tool in voltmeter mode, check voltage on IAC motor connector, driver No. 1 circuit (Brown/White wire) while momentarily opening and closing throttle. If voltage is less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage is more than one volt, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, check voltage on IAC motor connector, driver No. 2 circuit (Yellow/Black wire) while momentarily opening and closing throttle. If voltage is less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage is more than one volt, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, check voltage on IAC motor connector, driver No. 3 circuit (Gray/Red wire) while momentarily opening and closing throttle. If voltage is less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage is more than one volt, go to next step.
- Using scan tool, check voltage on IAC motor connector, driver No. 4 circuit (Violet/Black wire) while momentarily opening and closing throttle. If voltage is less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage is more than one volt, go to next step.
- Check engine for vacuum leaks. Repair as required. Perform TEST VER-2. If no vacuum leaks are observed, replace IAC motor. Perform TEST VER-2.
