Idle Air Actuator Valve
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 37 other vehicles, including the 2005 BMW 760i, 2004 BMW 760Li, 2003 BMW Z8, 2003 BMW Z4, and 2003 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Idle air actuator valve and air circuit (passage ways) should be checked for physical obstructions. Visually inspect the sealing gasket, mounting bracket and air hose clamps. Resistance of the valve winding should be checked. ECM output and idle speed control valve operation can be tested by COMPONENT ACTIVATION on DISplus/GT1. Pulse width modulation ground outputs from the ECM can be tested using the DISplus/GT1 oscilloscope. If valve is blocked or contaminated, a fault code can also be present. See IDLE AIR ACTUATOR VALVE LOCATION table. Valve is either a 2-pin or 3-pin type. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 .
