2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and connect the scan
tool to the data link connector.
3. Set up a timing light.
4. Start the engine and run at idle.
5. Select No. 22 of the SCAN TOOL DATA LIST.
6.Check that engine idle speed is within the standard value.
Standard value: 750 100
7. Select No. 17 of the SCAN TOOL ACTUATOR TEST.
Check that basic ignition timing is within the standard

cancel mode) to release the ACTUATOR TEST
NOTE
If the test is not a forced driving will continue
for 27 minutes. Driving under this condition may damage
the engine.
Check that the actual ignition timing is at the st andard
value.
Standard value: Approx. BTDC
NOTE
Ignition timing is variable within about even under
normal operating.

CURB IDLE SPEED CHECK
Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicles in the
following condition.
lEngine coolant temperature:
lLights, electric cooling fan and all accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (P range on vehicles with A/T)
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and connect the scan
tool to the data link connector.
3. Select No. 17 of the SCAN TOOL ACTUATOR TEST
4. Check the basic ignition timing.
Standard value: BTDC
5. Run the engine at idle for 2 minutes.
