No experience with this, but if the computer is throwing a code that says there's a short in the ICV coil, then there's nothing you can do, and you need a new one. Presumably, it's measuring the resistance of the coil an throwing the code if there's too little.

If you knew the specified resistance, you could check it. There are three terminals (RH, Middle, and LH). Mine shows 38Ω between the RH and Middle terminals, and 20.7Ω between the RH and LH terminals.

Good luck!
