- Using scan tool, set engine speed to 1100 RPM. If engine speed set at 1050-1150 RPM, idle speed 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 stayed less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage did not stay less 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 stayed less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage did not stay less 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 stayed less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage did not stay less 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 stayed less than one volt, go to TEST NTC-9B. If voltage did not stay less 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.
