You vehicle does not have one as the PCM controls the idle through the throttle body. I attached the info on this plus how to clean it and relearn the throttle if this is what you are looking for.

Lastly I attached below the process on how to replace the throttle body as well. Let us know if you are looking for some different info. Thanks
