COMPONENT
TESTS
AND
REPAIRS

NOTE-

"
The
tests
given
below
are
electrical
checks
only
.
They

do
not
check
the
mechanical
operation
of
the
valve
.
If
the
valve
is
suspected
of
causing
poor
idie,
substitut-
ing
a
known
good
valve
is
the
best
way
to
check
for
a
mechanical
fault
.

1
.
With
engine
running,
check
that
¡die
speed
control

valve
is
buzzing
.

2
.
Turn
on
A/C
or
shift
car
finto
drive
.
¡die
should
remain
steady
orincrease
slightly
.

3
.
If
valve
is
not
buzzing,or
if
¡die
decreases
in
step
2,

stop
engine
and
disconnect
harness
connector
from
valve
.
Check
resistance
of
valve
across
its
terminals
.

See
Fig
.
30
.
Test
values
are
listed
below
.

NOTE
-

If
you
suspect
an
intermittent
fault,
lightly
tapthe
valve
while
testing
resistance

With

disconnected,
check
for
battery
voltage
at
red/white
wire
in
connector
with
igni-

tion
tumed

.

"
If
there
is
no
voltage,
check
wiring
between

.
See

.
If
voltage
is
presentas
described
above,
check
wiring
between
ECM
and
valve
.
If
no
wiring
faults
are
found,
check
ECM
signal
to
valve
.
