    GO TO 4.

  4. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART-I 

    Check the following

    • Check that throttle valve is fully closed.
    • Check PCV valve operation.
    • Check that downstream of throttle valve is free from air leakage.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    >>

    GO TO 5.

    >>

    Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

  5. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART-II 

    Engine component parts and their installation condition are questionable. Check and eliminate the cause of the incident. It is useful to perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE". Refer to Diagnosis Procedure . If any of the following conditions occur after the engine has started, eliminate the cause of the incident and perform Idle Air Volume Learning again:

    • Engine stalls.
    • Erroneous idle.
