F0:Data List Test Step 43 Idle Air Control Opel Tigra A

Multec- S X 14 XE / X 16 XE (L) F0:DATA LIST

No.TECH 1 DisplayConditions for CheckingNominal ValueTrouble CodesTerminal
43IDLE AIR CONTROLEngine running at idle speed, operating temperature
If a certain regulating range of the idle speed adjuster is exceeded with the engine at operating temperature at idle speed, the control unit automatically resets the stepper motor at an engine speed higher than 3000 rpm.8 to 35 steps

Notes on Trouble-shooting:Nominal Value:Cause of fault:

(If nominal value is not attained)

· Slowly increase engine speed to 4000 rpm, maintain briefly and allow to decrease to idle speed again.

· Wait approx. 5 sec.

· TECH 1 data list no. 34

ENGINE SPEED

820 to 980 rpm
· Check according to data list no.05 TPS SIGNAL

· Select TECH 1 menu:

F8:ECU CONTROL,

RPM CONTROL

· Using arrow keys, increase idle speed (1500 rpm) and decrease (900 rpm)

Engine speed increases and decreases according to TECH 1 selection.· Engine takes in dead air.

· Throttle valve gap too large or too small (alter basic setting in emergencies only, see Service Instructions).

· Ignition OFF

· Disconnect wiring harness plug:

X10 plug, engine & injectors

· Ignition ON

· Select TECH 1 menu:
