Idle Signal Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

When the idle switch is turned ON, a signal is sent to the ECU. The ECU uses this signal to correct the dis-
crepancy between the throttle valve position and the actuator position sensor value to enable accurate
cruise control at the set speed. If the idle switch is malfunctioning, problem symptoms also occur in the en-
gine, so also inspect the engine.

DTC No.

Detection Item

Trouble Area

51

Short in idle signal circuit.

Harness or connector between Engine and ECT ECU and

throttle position sensor

ground.

PREPARATION:
(a)

Remove the ECU with connector still connected.

(b)

Disconnect the engine and ECT ECU connector.

(c)

Turn ignition switch ON.

CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminal IDL of ECU connector and
body ground when the throttle valve is fully closed and fully
opened.
OK:
