Inspection procedure 20
Idling speed is improper when A/C is operating (A/C
switch 2 signal)
Probable cause
The A/C-ECU judges ifloadcaused by air conditioner ishigh or low, and
converts it to A/C switch 2 signal to send the engine-A/T-ECU it.
Based on this signal, the engine-A/T-ECU operates the throttle control servo to
control the idle-up speed.DMalfunction of the A/C control system
