Idle-Up Operation Check

IDLE-UP OPERATION CHECK

Before inspection and adjustment, set vehicle in the following condition:
- Engine coolant temperature: 80 - 90 °C (176.0 - 194.0 °F)
- Lights, electric cooling fan and accessories: OFF
- Transmission: Neutral ("N" or "P" position)
- Steering wheel: Straightforward

1. Check whether or not the idle speed is the standard value.
Refer to On-vehicle Service - Idle Speed Check [2.0L ENGINE Non-turbo] Testing and Inspection
Refer to On-vehicle Service - Idle Speed Check [2.0L ENGINE Turbo] Testing and Inspection
Refer to On-vehicle Service - Idle Speed Check [2.4L ENGINE] Testing and Inspection

Standard value: 700 ± 50 r/min [Except 2.4L ENGINE]
Standard value: 650 ± 50 r/min [2.4L ENGINE]

2. Turn on the air conditioning switch and the blower speed selection dial. Engine idling speed should be within the standard value:

Standard value: 750 ± 50 r/min [2.0L ENGINE Non-turbo]
Standard value: 800 ± 50 r/min [2.0L ENGINE Turbo]
Standard value: 800 ± 50 r/min [2.4L ENGINE]

NOTE: It is not necessary to make an adjustment, because the idling speed is automatically adjusted by the ISC system. If, however, a deviation from the standard value occurs for some reason, check the ISC system (Refer to On-vehicle Service - Idle Speed Check [2.0L ENGINE Non-turbo] Testing and Inspection or On-vehicle Service - Idle Speed Check [2.0L ENGINE Turbo] Testing and Inspection, On-vehicle Service - Idle Speed Check [2.4L ENGINE] Testing and Inspection)
