Idle Speed Control Servo Malfunction

What this code means

Common causes

  • Faulty ISC servo motor
  • Dirty throttle body
  • Wiring or connector fault
  • Failed PCM driver circuit

Diagnostic steps

  1. Scan for stored codes
  2. Inspect ISC servo wiring and connectors
  3. Test ISC servo resistance and operation
  4. Clean throttle body and recheck idle

⚠ STILL BEHIND THE PAYWALL
The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander repair data is incomplete because no one has sponsored it yet. For $99, we generate the full step-by-step procedures, then fact-check them with a second AI pass and your expert review. Your name on every procedure, permanently.
The same data would cost $169/mo from Mitchell1 or $30/year from ALLDATAdiy — and you'd be renting access, not freeing it. Sponsor once, free forever.
