Code 2-3-3 (Idle Control Not In Range)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Volvo 960. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. If control unit has to open or close idling valve too much to maintain constant idling conditions, control unit will interpret this as a fault and record a fault code.
  2. Start engine, and run it until it reaches normal operating temperature. Ensure gear selector is in Neutral and A/C is off. To determine whether an air leak is present, clamp air valve hose and observe engine speed. If engine speed exceeds 600-700 RPM, air leakage is present or throttle disc is incorrectly adjusted.
