Test No. 1
1) Loosen throttle cable. Turn ignition on for more than 15
seconds. DO NOT start engine. Turn ignition off. This should fully
retract ISC motor plunger.
2) On 2.0L Galant (VIN V), connect jumper wire between
ignition timing adjustment connector and ground. See IGNITION TIMING
ADJUSTMENT CONNECTOR LOCATION table under IGNITION TIMING.
3) On all models, disconnect harness connector(s) from Idle
Speed Control (ISC) motor. Ensure ISC plunger is in fully retracted
position. Unscrew fixed Speed Adjusting Screw (SAS) until throttle
valve is fully closed. See Fig. 1.
CAUTION: When cleaning throttle body, plug air by-pass hole in
throttle body to prevent solvent from entering passage.
4) Start engine. Check basic idle speed. See IDLE SPEED
SPECIFICATIONS table. If basic idle speed is within specification, go
to step 7). If basic idle speed is not within specification, remove
air intake hose and clean throttle body. Reconnect air intake hose.
Recheck basic idle speed.
5) If basic idle speed is still not within specification
after cleaning throttle body, adjust basic idle speed by turning idle
speed adjusting screw. See Fig. 1. After adjusting basic idle speed,
turn fixed SAS screw clockwise until engine speed begins to increase.
6) Turn fixed SAS screw counterclockwise until engine speed
decreases. Turn fixed SAS screw counterclockwise an additional 1/2
turn from point at which engine speed no longer decreases. Turn off
engine.
7) Adjust throttle cable. Reconnect harness connector(s) at
ISC motor. Start engine. Operate engine for about 5 minutes. Ensure
engine idles within curb idle speed specification. See IDLE SPEED
SPECIFICATIONS table.
8) Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable for
at least 10 seconds to clear diagnostic trouble code. Reconnect
negative battery cable. Operate engine at idle for about 5 minutes to
ensure engine idles smoothly.
Test No. 2
1) Locate ignition timing adjustment connector. See IGNITION
TIMING ADJUSTMENT CONNECTOR LOCATION table under IGNITION TIMING.
Connect jumper wire between ignition timing adjustment connector and
ground.
2) Locate diagnostic connector under instrument panel.
Connect jumper wire between diagnostic connector terminal No. 10
(White wire) and ground. See Fig. 3. Start engine. Check basic idle
speed. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table. If basic idle speed is
within specification, go to step 9). If basic idle speed is not within
specification, go to step 3).
3) Remove air intake hose. Check throttle body. If throttle
body contains deposits, go to next step. If throttle body is clean,
disconnect jumper wires connected in steps 1) and 2). On all models
except Eclipse, Galant and Mirage, go to step 6). On Eclipse, Galant
and Mirage, go to step 5).
CAUTION: When cleaning throttle body, plug air by-pass hole in

NOTE: Fixed Speed Adjusting Screw (SAS) is preset by manufacturer
and usually does not require adjustment. Only adjust fixed
SAS if other adjustment procedures require it, or if
manufacturer's original setting has been changed.
3.0L Montero, Pickup, Ram-50, Stealth & 3000GT
1) Loosen throttle cable. Loosen fixed SAS lock nut. See
Fig. 4. Turn fixed SAS counterclockwise until throttle valve is fully
closed. Turn fixed SAS clockwise until throttle valve begins to open.
Turn fixed SAS clockwise 1 1/4 turns after throttle valve begins to
open.
2) Tighten lock nut while holding fixed SAS in position.
Adjust throttle cable. Adjust basic idle speed. See BASIC IDLE SPEED
under IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE. Adjust throttle position sensor. See
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS).
All Other Models
To adjust fixed SAS, adjust basic idle speed. See BASIC IDLE
SPEED under IDLE SPEED & MIXTURE.

and is nonadjustable. CO level specifications are not
available from manufacturer.
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS)
TPS ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Ensure basic idle speed is set to specification before
adjusting TPS. See BASIC IDLE SPEED under IDLE SPEED &
MIXTURE. Perform all adjustments with engine at normal
operating temperature, front wheels in straight-ahead

GENERAL INFORMATION
Anti-Lock Brake Safety Precautions
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
This article is intended for general information purposes
only. This information may not apply to all makes and models. If
vehicle is equipped with Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), refer to
appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article in the BRAKES section for
description, operation, depressurizing, testing, system bleeding,
trouble shooting and servicing of specific system.
WARNING: Failure to depressurize ABS could lead to physical injury.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Failure to depressurize ABS could lead to physical injury.
* NEVER open a bleeder valve or loosen a hydraulic line
while ABS is pressurized.
* NEVER disconnect or reconnect any electrical connectors
while ignition is on. Damage to ABS control unit may result.
* DO NOT attempt to bleed hyudarulic system without first
referring to the appropriate ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM article
in the BRAKES section.
* Only use specially designed brake hoses/lines on ABS equipped
vehicles.
* DO NOT tap on speed sensor components (sensor, sensor rings).
Sensor rings must be pressed into hubs, NOT hammered into
hubs. Striking these components can cause demagnetization or
a loss of polarization, affecting the accuracy of the speed
signal returning to the ABS control unit.
* DO NOT mix tire sizes. Increasing the width, as long as tires
remain close to the original diameter, is acceptable. Rolling
diameter must be identical for all 4 tires. Some
manufacturers recommend tires of the same brand, style and
type. Failure to follow this precaution may cause inaccurate
wheel speed readings.
* DO NOT contaminate speed sensor components with grease. Only
use recommended coating, when system calls for an
anti-corrosion coating.
* When speed sensor components have been removed, ALWAYS check
sensor-to-ring air gaps when applicable. These specifications
can be found in each appropriate article.
* ONLY use rocommended brake fluids. DO NOT use silicone brake
fluids in an ABS equipped vehicle.
* When instlling transmittion devices (CB's, telephones, etc.)
on ABS equipped vehicles, DO NOT locate the antenna near the
ABS control unit (or any control unit).
* Disconnect all on-board computers, when using electric
welding equipment.
* DO NOT expose the ABS control unit to prolonged periods of
high heat (185
F/85C for 2 hours is generally considered a
maximum limit).

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEMS
NOTE: Anti-lock brakes are an integral part of the brake system. It
is essential that the anti-lock brakes function properly when
brake service is performed.
Anti-lock brake systems are commonly referred to as "ABS" and
will be referred to as "ABS" throughout these guidelines. Some ABS
components also function as part of a traction control system (TCS).
WARNING: When diagnosing and servicing high pressure components,
observe safety procedures and equipment requirements
established by the vehicle manufacturer to reduce the
possibility of serious personal injury.
NOTE: Intermittent electrical conditions are often caused by a loss
of ground, poor connection, or water intrusion into the
wiring harness.
