P0507






P0507-IDLE SPEED HIGH PERFORMANCE



- When Monitored:
Engine Running. During an idle condition.

- Set Condition:
If the engine RPM does not come within a calibratable high limit of the target idle speed, a failure timer will increment. When the appropriate failure timer reaches its maximum threshold without sign of RPM trending towards control, a soft fail is generated. When a calibratable number of the soft fails is reached, a 1 trip fault is set. When two 1 trip faults occur in a row, the DTC is set and the MIL illuminates.





1. ACTIVE DTC
1. Ignition on, engine not running.
2. With a scan tool, read DTCs.

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes

- Go To 2

No

- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. Intermittent Condition Test
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

2. PCV SYSTEM
1. Visually and Physically inspect the PCV system.
2. Check for the PCV valve disconnected.
3. Check for an incorrect PCV valve. The PCV valve must meet OEM specifications.
4. Damage vacuum hose.

Were any of the above condition found?

Yes

- Repair as necessary.

3. IAC MOTOR PASSAGES
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Remove the IAC Motor.
3. Inspect the IAC Motor and passages for any obstructions or damage to motor.

Were any problems found?
