IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217750
Idle Air Volume Learning is a function of ECM to learn
the idle air volume that keeps engine idle speed within
the specific range. It must be perfo rmed under the following conditions:
 Each time the electric throttle control actuator or ECM is replaced.
 Idle speed or ignition timing is out of the specification.
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217751

5. Touch “START” and wait 20 seconds.
Is
“CMPLT” displayed on CONSULT-III screen?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 5.
3.PERFORM IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
NOTE:
 It is better to count the ti me accurately with a clock.
 It is impossible to switch the di agnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit has
a malfunction.
1. Perform Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning. Refer to EC-146, "
Work Procedure".
2. Perform Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning. EC-147, "
Work Procedure".
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully releas ed, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.
6. Repeat the following procedure quickly 5 times within 5 seconds.
- Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
- Fully release the accelerator pedal.
7. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal for approx. 20 seconds until the MIL stops blinking
and turns ON.
8. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the MIL turns ON.
