2. Idle Speed - Inspect

1.
Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

2.
Check the idle speed under no load conditions: headlights, blower fan, radiator fan, audio system, and air conditioner off.

Idle speed should be:

Engine Model
Idle Speed
L15B7
720 ± 50 rpm
(CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral)
K20C2
750 ± 50 rpm
(CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral)
K20C1
780 ± 50 rpm
(in neutral)

3.
Let the engine idle for 1 minute with high electric load (A/C on, temperature set to max cool, blower fan on high, headlights on high beam).

Idle speed should be:

Engine Model
Idle Speed
L15B7
720 ± 50 rpm
(CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral)
K20C2
750 ± 50 rpm
(CVT in P or N, M/T in neutral)
