Inspection procedure 20
Idling speed is improper when A/C is operating
Probable cause
If the engine-ECU detects that the air conditioner is on, it activates the throttle control
servo to control idle-up operation.
The A/C-ECU judges if theloadcaused by air conditioner operation ishigh or low,
and converts it to voltage signal (high or low voltage) and inputs the signal to the
engine-ECU.
Based on this voltage signal, the engine-ECU controls the idle-up speed (forhigh
or low load).DMalfunction of the A/C control system

short-circuited harness wire
