Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The ECM monitors the idling speed and idling airflow volume to conduct Idle Speed Control (ISC). The ECM determines that the ISC system is malfunctioning if the following conditions are met:
- The learned idling air flow volume remains at the maximum or minimum volume 5 times or more in a drive cycle.
- While driving at 6 mph (10 km/h) or more, the actual engine idling speed varies from the target idling speed by between 100 RPM and 200 RPM, 5 times or more in a drive cycle.
Example:
If the actual idling speed varies from the target idling speed by more than 200 RPM* 5 times in a drive cycle, the ECM illuminates the MIL and sets the DTC.
*: Threshold idling speed varies according to the engine load.
