IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217750
Idle Air Volume Learning is a function of ECM to learn
the idle air volume that keeps engine idle speed within
the specific range. It must be perfo rmed under the following conditions:
 Each time the electric throttle control actuator or ECM is replaced.
 Idle speed or ignition timing is out of the specification.
Work ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217751
1.PRECONDITIONING
Check that all of the following conditions are satisfied.
Learning will be cancelled if any of the follo wing conditions are missed for even a moment.
 Battery voltage: More than 12.9 V (At idle)
 Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 105 °C (158 - 221 °F)
 Selector lever position: P or N
 Electric load switch: OFF
(Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger)
On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, if the parking brake is applied before the engine is
started the headlamp will not illuminate.
 Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
 Vehicle speed: Stopped
 Transmission: Warmed-up
- With CONSULT-III: Drive vehicle until “ATF TEMP 2” in “DATA MONITOR” mode of “A/T” system indicates
less than 0.9 V.
- Without CONSULT-III: Drive vehicle for 10 minutes.
Will CONSULT-III be used?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.PERFORM IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
WITH CONSULT-III

Work Procedure".
2. Perform Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning. EC-147, "
Work Procedure".
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Select “IDLE AIR VOL LEARN” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode.
5. Touch “START” and wait 20 seconds.
Is
“CMPLT” displayed on CONSULT-III screen?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 5.
3.PERFORM IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
NOTE:
 It is better to count the ti me accurately with a clock.
 It is impossible to switch the di agnostic mode when an accelerator pedal position sensor circuit has
a malfunction.
1. Perform Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning. Refer to EC-146, "
Work Procedure".
2. Perform Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning. EC-147, "
Work Procedure".
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully releas ed, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.
6. Repeat the following procedure quickly 5 times within 5 seconds.
- Fully depress the accelerator pedal.
- Fully release the accelerator pedal.
7. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal for approx. 20 seconds until the MIL stops blinking
and turns ON.
8. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the MIL turns ON.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217760
The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of
the value that is displayed in “SPEC” in “DATA MONI-
TOR” mode of CONSULT-III during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in “SPEC”
in “DATA MONITOR” mode is within the SP value, t he Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the
value in “SPEC” in “DATA MONITOR” mode is NOT wit hin the SP value, the Engine Control System may have
one or more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may affect the Engine Control System, but will not illuminate
the MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following items:
 B/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board correc- tion)
 A/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)
 MAS A/F SE-B1/B2 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)
 IDLE FUEL PRES MAX/MIN (the signal voltage of the fuel rail pressure sensor)
