5. With the idle air control motor as shown in the illustration, connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to each clip as described in the following steps and check whether or not a very slight vibration of the stepper motor is generated as a result of the activation of the stepper motor.
(1) Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the red and black clip.
(2) Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the blue and black clip.
(3) Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the blue and yellow clip.
(4) Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the red and yellow clip.
(5) Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the red and black clip.
