Idle Air Control System Circuit Low

What it means

The Engine Control Module (ECM) detects an unexpectedly low voltage or short to ground in the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve motor circuit. While less common on modern heavy-duty diesels than gas engines, it typically refers to the electronic governor or throttle actuator circuit used for idle stability.
