Circuit Description

The idle validation switch is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to indicate when the accelerator pedal is released (on-idle) or depressed (off-idle). The switch is adjusted at the factory to switch from on-idle to off-idle at the correct accelerator pedal position. The switch return is a shared return with other OEM cab switches.

Component Location

The integrated sensor switch (ISS) is located on the accelerator pedal assembly.

Shop Talk

  • This fault code is usually caused by an open circuit on either the idle validation on-idle or off-idle signal circuit, a loose connection, uncalibrated accelerator pedal assembly, or miswired idle validation switch.
  • The integrated sensor switch (ISS) has a different internal resistance specification (125 ohms) than the nonintegrated sensor switch (NISS).
  • When installing a new accelerator pedal assembly, it must be calibrated before operating the engine. To calibrate, turn the keyswitch to the ON position and fully depress and release the pedal three times.
