IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR
DESCRIPTION
The idle air control valve is mounted on the throt-
tle body. The PCM operates the idle air control valve
(Fig. 15) or (Fig. 16).
OPERATION
The PCM adjusts engine idle speed through the
idle air control valve to compensate for engine load,
coolant temperature or barometric pressure changes.The throttle body has an air bypass passage that
provides air for the engine during closed throttle idle.
The idle air control valve regulates air flow through
the bypass passage.
The PCM controls engine idle speed by adjusting
the position of the idle air control valve. The adjust-
ments are based on inputs the PCM receives. The
inputs are from the throttle position sensor, crank-
shaft position sensor, coolant temperature sensor,
MAP sensor, vehicle speed sensor and various switch
operations (brake, park/neutral, air conditioning).
When engine rpm is above idle speed, the IAC is
used for the following functions:
²Off-idle dashpot
²Deceleration air flow control
²A/C compressor load control (also opens the pas-
sage slightly before the compressor is engaged so
that the engine rpm does not dip down when the
compressor engages)
Target Idle
Target idle is determined by the following inputs:
²Gear position
²ECT Sensor
²Battery voltage
²Ambient/Battery Temperature Sensor
²VSS
²TPS
²MAP Sensor
REMOVAL
When servicing throttle body components, always
reassemble components with new O-rings and seals
where applicable. If assembly of component is diffi-
cult, a light coat of engine oil may be applied to the
O-RINGS ONLY to aid assembly. Use care when
removing hoses to prevent damage to hose or hose
nipple.
(1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
(2) Remove electrical connector from idle air con-
trol valve (Fig. 17).
(3) Remove idle air control valve mounting screw.
(4) Remove valve from throttle body. Ensure the
O-rings is removed with the valve.
INSTALLATION
When servicing throttle body components, always
reassemble components with new O-rings and seals

care when removing hoses to prevent damage to hose
or hose nipple.
(1) Carefully place idle air control motor into
throttle body.

need to be removed once the upper shroud is unfas-
tened in order to disconnect the traction control wir-
