FUEL SYSTEM -Idle Speed Control14-49
Servo ControlServo control includes feedback control and position
ontrol. In feedback control, the engine control uniti;onstantly calculates the actual idle speed, and if
the
value differs from the target idle speed, the unit
drives the stepper motor to adjust actual speed to
Feedback ControlWhile the engine runs at idle speed, the stepper
motor is activated to keep the engine speed at the
preset target idle speed by controlling the bypass air
volume.
The target idle speed that is optimum for each
operating condition (including air conditioner switch
ON/OFF) has been preset. This engine speed
feedback control is provided under stabilized idling
conditions and not when any of the following
conditions occur.
l When the vehicle is moving at 2.5 km/h (1.6
mph) or more.the target value. In position control, the idle speed
control
is adjusted to the target position to cope
with air conditioner and other load changes. Position
control is also performed when cranking the engine
and decelerating.
lWhen the idle switch is turned from OFF to ON,
and while the idle switch is in the OFF position.
lWhen the air conditioner switch is turned from
ON to OFF, or vice versa.
l When power steering oil pressure switch is
turned from ON to OFF, or vice versa.
l When the ignition switch is turned from ST to
IG, or vice versa.
l While the dash pot control is in operation.

Idle(1) Basic target idle speed
The basic target idle’ speed is preset as a map value
optimized according to the engine coolant temperature.
This speed is maintained to ensure stabilized idle speed.
(2) Idle speed while the air conditioner is being operated
When the engine coolant temperature is high with the air
conditioner switch in the ON position, the idle speed is set
higher than the basic idle speed.
