FUNCTION
  • The amount of air taken in during idling is regulated by the opening and closing of the throttle valve.
  • The engine-A/T-ECU checks the difference between the actual engine speed and the target engine speed.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Conditions
  • The vehicle speed has reached 1.5 km/h or more at least once.
  • During the closed-loop idle speed control.
Judgment Criterion
  • The actual idle speed is higher than the target idle speed by 300 r/min or more for 10 seconds.
Check Conditions
  • The vehicle speed has reached 1.5 km/h or more at least once.
  • During the closed-loop idle speed control.
  • The highest ambient temperature at the last drive is 45°C or less.
  • The engine coolant temperature is approximately 77°C or higher.
  • The battery voltage is 10 V or more.
  • The intake air temperature is -10°C or higher.
Judgment Criterion
  • The actual idle speed is higher than the target idle speed by 200 r/min or more for 10 seconds.
Check Conditions
  • During the closed-loop idle speed control
  • The engine coolant temperature is approximately 77°C or higher.
  • The battery voltage is 10 V or more.
  • The power steering switch is in OFF position.
  • The charging efficiency is 40% or less.
  • The intake air temperature is -10°C or higher.
Judgment Criteria
  • The actual idle speed is lower than the target idle speed by 100 r/min or more for 10 seconds.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Throttle valve area is dirty.
  • Intake system vacuum leak.
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
