  1. Solenoid is by-pass air type solenoid. Faults in ISC solenoid or circuit should set a service code. See QUICK TEST in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. If service code has not been set, turn ignition off.
  2. Disconnect ISC solenoid harness connector. Measure resistance between ISC solenoid terminals. Connect DVOM positive test lead to terminal VPWR and DVOM negative lead to terminal ISC. See Fig 1 .
  3. Resistance should be 7-13 ohms. If resistance is not within specification, replace solenoid. If resistance is within specification, see CIRCUIT TEST KE in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section for circuit testing.
