This is the idle that ECU thinks is best for the engine by taking into account all parameters. Calculated roughly by using FSM value (700 at idle, 850 with A/C).

raw_value * 7.8445

Parameters include:

  • Engine coolant temp
  • A/C switch

Normal values:

  • ~700 (no load, operating temp)
  • ~850 (A/C load only, operating temp)
  • cold idle starts ~1060 and gradually comes down with coolant temp increase

Note: Interestingly Electric load does not change this value. It seems to be an internal calculation that increases the injector pulse width but the desired idle remains the same. I did not expect this.
