IDLE-UP OPERATION CHECK

M1552001600069

1. 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

2. Check whether or not the idle speed is the standard value.

<2.4L Engine>: Refer to GROUP 13A, On-vehicle Service

−

Basic Idle Speed Adjustment

P.13A-474

.

<3.0L Engine>: Refer to GROUP 13B, On-vehicle Service

−

Basic Idle Speed Adjustment

P.13B-552

.

Standard value:

••••

<2.4L engine> 750 + 100 r/min

••••

<3.0L engine> 700 + 100 r/min

NOTE: Check 4 minutes after idling begins.

3. 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.
