1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the malfunction that actual engine speed is not close to target engine speed during idling. Judge as NG when actual engine speed is not close to target engine speed during idling.

2. EXECUTION CONDITION

Secondary parameters	Execution condition
Battery voltage	≥ 10.9 V
Barometric pressure	≥ 75.1 kPa (563 mmHg, 22.2 inHg)
Lambda value (left and right)	≥ 0.85 and < 1.151
Vehicle speed	0 km/h (0 MPH)
Engine coolant temperature	≥ 60 °C (140 °F)
Elapsed time after starting the engine	≥ 10 s
Accelerator pedal position	While idling
Elapsed time after gear position change (P ←> D or N ←> D)	> 5 s
Cold start diagnosis	Not in operation
Main feedback	In operation
Idle speed control feedback	In operation

3. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Perform the diagnosis continuously at idling after warming up engine.

4. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

If the duration of time while the following conditions are met is longer than the time indicated, judge as NG.

Judgment value

Malfunction Criteria	Threshold Value
Actual engine speed − Targeted engine speed	< −100 rpm

Time needed for diagnosis: 15 s ? 1 time(s)
