"The idle speed control mode is used to prevent engine stall during idle. The goal is to allow the engine to idle at as low an RPM as possible yet keep the engine from running rough and stalling when power-consuming accessories, such as air-conditioning compressors and alternators, turn on."

More specifically called the Idle Air Controller. It lets air go around the throttle plate to control the engine idle speed.
