1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Check the BRAKE SWITCH in the DATA LIST withthe HDS.
Go to step 3.
Inspect the brake pedal position switch
(see page 19-6).
3. Press the brake pedal while checking the BRAKE SWITCH in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
The brake pedal position switch signal circuit
(BKSW line) is OK.
Go to step 4.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
6. Disconnect the brake pedal position switch 4P connector.
7. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (44P). 8. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector
terminal A40 and body ground.
Repair short in the wire between the ECM/
PCM (A40) and the No. 12 HORN/STOP (15 A) fuse.
Also, replace the No. 12 HORN/STOP (15 A) fuse.
Go to step 9.

switch (see page 19-6).
Repair open in the wire between the ECM/
PCM (A40) and the brake pedal position switch. NOTE:
 Before checking the idle speed, check these items: – The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) has not been reported on, and there are no DTCs.
– Ignition timing
– Spark plugs
– Air cleaner
– PCV system
 Apply the parking brake, and make sure the headlights are off.
1. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve connector (see step 5 on page
11-409).
2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/ PCM. If it doesn’t, go to the DLC circuit
troubleshooting (see page 11-204).

Idle speed should be:
K20Z2 engine:
M/T 700 50 rpm
A/T 800 50 rpm (in P or N)
K20Z3 engine: M/T 750 50 rpm
Idle speed should be:
K20Z2 engine: M/T 780 50 rpm
A/T 800 50 rpm (in P or N)

Procedure

Idle Speed Inspection (cont’d) ECM/PCM Idle Learn Procedure
4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at
3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it
idle.
5. Check the idle speed without load conditions: headlights, blower fan, radiator fan, and air
conditioner off.
6. Let the engine idle for 1 minute with high electric load (A/C switch on, temperature set to max cool,
blower fan on high, and headlights on high beam).
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification,
dotheECM/PCMidlelearnprocedure(seepage
11-310). If the idle speed is still not within
specification, go to the symptom troubleshooting.
7. Reconnect the EVAP canister purge valve connector. The idle learn procedure must be done so the ECM/PCM
can learn the engine idle characteristics.
Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of
these actions:
 Replace the ECM/PCM.
 Reset the ECM/PCM.
 Update the ECM/PCM.
 Replace or clean the throttle body.
 Disassemble the engine or the transmission.
NOTE: Erasing DTCs with the HDS does not require you
to do the idle learn procedure.
1. Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, lights, etc.) are off.
2. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.
4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or until the
engine coolant temperature reaches 90 °C (194 °F).
5. Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fully closed.
NOTE: If the radiator fan comes on, do not include
its running time in the 5 minutes.

NOTE:
 Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general
troubleshooting information (see page 11-3).
 Because it requires 260 km (162 miles) of driving without refueling to complete this diagnosis, DTC
P0461 cannot be duplicated during this
troubleshooting.

29. Reconnect all connectors.
30. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
31. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see page 11-227), or substitute a known-
good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7).
