I need to know what the ECU sees as an acceptable resistance from the IACV. If it does in fact read resistance.

lthao61

does not read or need resistance.

the iacv changes the amount of air bypassing the throttle body in response to a current signal from the ecm in order to maintain the proper idle speed.

what was your problem?


now paypal me 5 bucks....

k', fixed it guys. It needs 8-15 ohms of resistance, as per the Honda FSM.

BTW, it does need resistance. Not going to have current without resistance. Ohm's law buddy.

I = V/R

Current = Voltage divided by Resistance

resistance = 0, current = 0

.. less resistance, more current flow, therefor resistance is not "necessary" for current, even though a bare wire has a true value of "1 ohm" . Current flow is simply voltage having a path to go from one high point to a low point through a conductor. glad you found your problem ...buddy.. though if your referring to 0 reisistance as in a broken wire then i guess in a way you are right..

i knew that, but... you stated:

A bare wire is going to have a resistance of less than 1 ohm. It depends on many factors; gauge, stranded or single, length, material, etc.

In this case, the IACV is simply a solenoid. A solenoid is made of a coil of wire and a plunger. It is for testing purposes an inductor. The coil of wire does have a resistance.


Also a broken wire or an open has an infinite resistance, not zero.

Go take some more math buddy. A value divided by zero is infinity, not zero.

It is because if the following:

f(s) = 1/s

as "s" goes to zero, f(s) goes to infinity.

well put. i dont think he has five bucks...

rule of thumb for solenoids = resistance &lt; 40 ohms
