Idle Air Control System RPM Higher Than Expected

40 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

1What it means in plain English

The engine is idling higher than the engine computer expects.

2Common causes

  1. Carbon build-up in the throttle body
  2. Faulty idle air control valve
  3. Vacuum leak
  4. Faulty throttle position sensor
  5. Damaged wiring or connector

3Can I drive?

Caution · drive with care

Usually safe to drive. A high idle can make the car creep and waste fuel; have it checked soon.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
