IDLE SPEED CONTROL

(ISC)

 Stepper motor type

The Idle Air Control (IAC) system regulates engine idle speed by
adjusting the volume of air that is allowed to bypass the closed throttle valve.
The ECM controls the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) based on input signals
received from various sensors. The system is necessary to provide
stabilization of curb idle when loads are applied to the engine and to
provide cold fast idle on some applications. Older technical references
call the IACV the Idle Speed Control (ISC) valve.

There are four types of ISC valve

1 Stepper motor type

2 Rotary solenoid type
3 Duty-control ACV (air control valve) type
4 On-off control VSV (vacuum switching valve)
type

Stepper motor type

The stepper motor IACV is located on the intake air chamber or throttle body. It regulates
engine speed by means of a stepper motor and a pintle valve that controls the volume of air
bypassing the closed throttle valve. The IACV throttle air bypass circuit routes intake air past
the throttle valve directly to the intake manifold through an opening between the pin-
tle valve and its seat. The size of this opening is determined by how far
the pintle is from the seat.

Two coils
are wound around each core, each
coil being wound in opposite
directions . (The number of poles
differs depending on the engine . )

As the engine coolant approaches normal operating temperature, the need for cold
fast idle is gradually eliminated. The ECM gradually steps the IACV toward its seat
during warm-up. The warm curb idle position is represented by point C on the graph.
When the coolant temperature is approximately 710C (1600F), the cold fast idle
program has ended.

Stepper motor type

The ECM has a preprogrammed target idle speed that is maintained by

the IACV based on feedback from the NE signal. Feedback idle air control
occurs any time the throttle is closed and the engine is at normal operat-
ing temperature. The target idle speed is programmed in an ECM look up table
and varies depending on inputs from the A/C and NSW signals.
Any time actual speed varies by greater than 20 RPM from target idle
speed, the ECM will adjust the IAC valve position to bring idle speed
back on target.

 Rotary solenoid type

The RS IACV is mounted on the throttle body and intake air bypassing the throttle
valve passes through it. According to the signals sent from the ECM, the IACV
controls the flow rate of air bypassing the throttle valve during idle. The air flow
rate determines the idle speed. The IACV receives its power from the EFI relay
and ground through the ECM.

 Rotary solenoid type

As shown, each coil is connected to a transistor, T1 and T2 located in the ECM. When
transistor T1 turns on, current flows through that coil. The magnetic field of the coil and
the magnetic field of the permanent magnet cause the valve to rotate clockwise. When
T2 is turned on, thevalve rotates counterclockwise.

Rotary solenoid type

The difference with this type of IACV is that the ECM sends a duty cycle signal to one coil
inside the IACV; the other coil is always on. To change the IACV position, ECM changes
the duty ratio in the controlled coil.

 Rotary solenoid type

There are two styles of rotary solenoid IACVs.

The older style uses two driver circuits, one driver for each coil.
The newer style uses a single driver circuit, one coil is controlled by the ECM while the other
coil is always grounded.
They are not interchangeable. An easy way to tell which type of rotary solenoid is to use the
wiring schematic. The older style has two wires connected to the ECM while the newer type has
one connected to the ECM and the other wire connected to ground.

Rotary solenoid type

The valve assembly consists of two electrical coils, a permanent magnet mounted on the valve
shaft, and a valve. A fail-safe bimetallic strip is fitted to the end of the shaft to operate the valve in
the event of electrical failure in the IACV system.
Located at the end of the valve shaft, the cylindrical permanent magnet rotates when its two poles
are repelled by the magnetism exerted by coils T1 and T2
