The Thexton 131 Ford Idle Speed Control Tester is a specialized diagnostic tool engineered for professional technicians working on Ford Motor Company vehicles. This tester provides an efficient and accurate method for evaluating Idle Speed Control (ISC) motors and By-Pass Air (BPA) solenoids in both fuel-injected and carbureted systems that utilize computer-controlled idle speed. It offers reliable component testing, streamlining the diagnostic process for idle-related issues.

Key Features

• Dedicated Component Testing: Designed to effectively test the functionality of both Idle Speed Control (ISC) motors and By-Pass Air (BPA) solenoids.
• OEM Connector Compatibility: Features OEM-grade connectors that plug directly into ISC motors or BPA solenoids, ensuring secure connections and minimizing diagnostic errors.
• Extended Lead Design: Equipped with extra-length leads for convenient access to the vehicle's battery and the target component, allowing for flexible testing in various vehicle configurations.
• Versatile Testing Capability: Enables technicians to test ISC motors and BPA solenoids both while installed on the vehicle and when removed for bench-testing.
• Idle Tracking Switch (ITS) Indicator: An integrated LED readout provides clear indication of Idle Tracking Switch operation, aiding in comprehensive diagnostics.
• Uninterrupted Cylinder Balance Testing: Allows for accurate cylinder balance tests by temporarily bypassing the vehicle's computer control over idle speed.

Applications

This tool is indispensable for diagnosing and troubleshooting a variety of idle control system malfunctions in Ford vehicles. It facilitates precise identification of faulty ISC motors or BPA solenoids, ensuring that repairs address the root cause of erratic idle, stalling, or poor engine performance. The ability to perform cylinder balance tests without computer interference further enhances its utility for detailed engine analysis, making it a crucial addition to any professional automotive workshop.
