Diagnostic Trouble Codes for the Circuit for the Idle Validation Switch
J1939 Code Description Notes
558-2 Accelerator Pedal 1 Low Idle Switch : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects the following condition:
The signal from the Idle Validation Switch (IVS) is invalid.
If equipped, the warning light will come on. The ECM will log the diagnostic code.
2970-2 Accelerator Pedal 2 Low Idle Switch : Erratic, Intermittent, or Incorrect If the application is equipped with two throttles, the engine will use the second throttle until the fault is repaired.If a second throttle is not installed or if the second throttle has a fault, the following conditions will occur:
The engine will default to limp home mode.
If the engine speed is higher than the speed in limp home mode, the engine will decelerate to limp home mode.
If the engine speed is lower than the speed in limp home mode, the engine speed will remain at the current speed.
The engine will remain at this speed while the diagnostic code remains active.
All inputs from the faulty throttle are ignored by the ECM until the fault is repaired.
All inputs from the repaired throttle will be ignored by the ECM until the keyswitch has been cycled.The IVS may be installed. The IVS is required for mobile applications. The IVS is part of the throttle position sensor. The IVS is CLOSED when the low idle is set.The configuration parameters for the throttle and for the IVS thresholds are programmed into the ECM. Use the electronic service tool in order to display the configuration parameters for the throttle and for the IVS.If the IVS operates outside of the programmed range, then the engine speed may not respond to changes in the throttle position.The electronic service tool may be used for the following:
If necessary, reset the IVS threshold for an existing IVS.
If necessary, view the IVS change point and reset the IVS thresholds when a new throttle assembly is installed.

Connect the electronic service tool to the service tool connector.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Monitor the active diagnostic code screen on the electronic service tool. Check and record any active diagnostic codes. Note: Wait at least 30 seconds in order for the diagnostic codes to become active.Note: A diagnostic code that is logged several times is an indication of an intermittent problem. Most intermittent problems are the result of a poor connection between a socket and a pin in a connector or of a poor connection between a wire and a terminal.Results:
A 558-2 or a 2970-2 diagnostic code is active or recently logged at this time. - Proceed to Test Step 2.
No diagnostic codes are active - The problem may have been intermittent.Repair: Carefully inspect the connectors and wiring. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect".STOPTest Step 2. Check the Operation of the IVS
Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Use the electronic service tool in order to check the current "Throttle Configuration".
Select the "SERVICE" option from the drop-down menu of the electronic service tool.
Select the "Throttle Configuration" option on the electronic service tool. Select the appropriate "Throttle Configuration" summary from the menu on the left of the screen. The IVS window for the throttle will indicate "YES" if an IVS is installed.
Select the "Throttle status" function on the electronic service tool. Select "Status" function and then select "Throttles" function.
The throttle is set in the low idle position.
Operate the throttle slowly. The IVS status should change from CLOSED (ON) to OPEN (OFF). Results:
The IVS state changes from CLOSED (ON) to OPEN (OFF) - Proceed to Test Step 3.
The IVS does not operate - Proceed to Test Step 4.Test Step 3. Check the IVS Threshold
Connect the electronic service tool to the diagnostic connector.
Turn the keyswitch to the ON position.
Use the electronic service tool in order to check the current "Throttle Configuration".
Select the "SERVICE" option from the drop-down menu of the electronic service tool.
Select the "Throttle Configuration" option on the electronic service tool. Select the appropriate "Throttle Configuration" summary from the menu on the left of the screen. The IVS window for the throttle will indicate "YES" if an IVS is installed. Make a note of the "Idle Validation Min OFF Threshold" parameters that are displayed in the "Throttle Configuration" menu of the electronic service tool. Make a note of the "Idle Validation Max ON Threshold" parameters that are displayed in the "Throttle Configuration" menu of the electronic service tool.
To select the "Throttle status" function on the electronic service tool, select "Status" function and then select "Throttles" function.
The throttle is set in the low idle position.
Operate the throttle slowly. The IVS status should change from CLOSED (ON) to OPEN (OFF). Results:
The IVS switch operates within the "Idle Validation Min OFF Threshold" and the "Idle Validation Max ON Threshold" parameters. - STOP
The IVS switch cannot operate within the "Idle Validation Min OFF Threshold" and the "Idle Validation Max ON Threshold" parameters - Proceed to Test Step 8.Test Step 4. Inspect Electrical Connectors and the Harness
Inspect the P1/J1 connectors, the harness and all of the connectors for the IVS. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Electrical Connectors - Inspect" for details.
Perform a 45 N (10 lb) pull test on each of the wires in the ECM connector that are associated with the suspect idle validation switch:
P1:18
P1:22
P1:40
Check the screw for the ECM connector for the correct torque of 6 N m (53 lb in).
Check the harness for abrasion and pinch points from the throttle switch to the ECM. Expected Result:All connectors, pins, and sockets are correctly connected and/or inserted and the harness is free of corrosion, abrasion, and pinch points.Results:
No harness or connector problems found - Proceed to Test Step 5.
Problems found with harness or connectors. - Repair: Perform the following repair:Repair
