Idle Boost Functions

The BCM sends a serial data request to the PCM to increase the idle speed. The PCM then adjusts the idle speed by using a special program and idle speed ramp calculations in order to prevent driveability and safety concerns. The idle speed boost and cancel function will vary from one moment to another. This happens because the PCM responds to changes in the inputs from the sensors used to control the powertrain.
