Code after cleaning idle air control valve

[Nissan11]

I just removed the intake on my 02 frontier to clean the idle air control valve and replace the thermal idle wax valve. The truck had been idling rough for weeks and even threw a misfire and knock sensor code. After the repairs this week I started the engine for the first time tonight. It idled great but this code popped up. Any idea what I could have done wrong?

I meant to put this in general tech

Replace it. I've never successfully cleaned an iac on any vehicle.. usually the carbon/oil gums it up and kills the motor or actuator mechanicals. Especially never works on the rotary shutter type.

Are you referring to the plastic part with the electrical plug? The part of the valve I cleaned was the one with the ports and springs.

That looks like a pintle type but still never had luck cleaning them.

I figured it out. The plug was not on all the way.
