13A-IDLE SPEED IS HIGH (IMPROPER IDLE SPEED)

Inspection procedure 8: Idle speed is high (improper idle speed)

COMMENT

In such cases as the above, the cause is probably that the intake air volume during idle is too great.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely causes for this case:)

Engine coolant temperature sensor signal failed.
Accelerator pedal position sensor (main) signal failed.
Accelerator pedal position sensor (sub) signal failed.
A/C switch signal failed.
Evaporative emission control system failed.
ECM failed.
