Because the idle speed is controlled automatically by the engine control unit through the idle speed control (ISC) solenoid valve, usually it is not necessary to check and adjust the idle speed.


1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature, and check the condition of the engine (spark plugs, leaks in hoses, etc.).
2. Turn all electrical loads OFF.
