Idle speed should be:
USA and Canada models: 720±50 rpm (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral)
Mexico models: 710±50 rpm (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral)
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification, do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. If the idle speed is still not within specification, go to symptom troubleshooting.

4. If the ignition timing differs from the specification, check the camshaft timing. If the camshaft timing is OK, update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the system works properly, and the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM.
5. Disconnect the HDS and the timing light.
