- Ensure engine is at ambient temperature. Connect scan tool. Using PID/DATA monitor and record function, select ECT, IAC V and RPM PIDs. Start engine.
- Engine speed should decrease as engine reaches operating temperature. If idle speed decreases, go to next step. If engine speed does not decrease, check ECT sensor, IAC valve and wiring.
- Allow engine to warm to operating temperature. Check for DTC P0506, P0507 and P1504. If no DTCs are present, go to next step. If any DTCs are present, diagnose and repair as necessary.
