P0507

DTC PD507 IDLE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM-RPM HIGHER THAN EXPECTED




COMPONENT LOCATION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
When the TP sensor's signal indicates closed throttle position and the engine is idling, the PCM adjusts the idle speed control actuator so that the engine runs at the correct idling speed, regardless of coolant temperature, load and etc. when the additional load applied in the engine, the air flow through the idle speed control actuator is increased momentarily to raise the idling speed.

DTC DESCRIPTION
The PCM monitors engine speed deviation from the target idle engine speed when the vehicle is stopped and the idle speed valve opening is stable. The PCM sets DTC P0507. if the difference to the target idle engine speed is higher than the predetermined threshold.

MONITOR DTC STATUS

NOTE: If any TPS, MAFS or ICA Valve circuit codes are present, Do ALL REPAIRS associated with them before proceeding with this troubleshooting free.

1. Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
2. Press F4(DTAL) to select DTC information from the DTCs menu
3. Confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions.




4. Read "DTC Status" parameter
5. Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?

NOTE:
1. History (Not Present) fault: DTC occurred but has been cleared.
2. Present fault: DTC is occurring at present time.

YES: Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or PCM's connector or was repaired and PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for loose or poor connections, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

NO: Go to "Accelerator Cable & Throttle plate Inspection" procedure.

ACCELERATOR CABLE & THROTTLE PLATE INSPECTION
1. Visually/physically inspect the following items. Repair or adjust as necessary and go to next step
1. Check that the Accelerator Cable is not sticking or moving sluggishly.
2. Check Accelerator Cable free play [0.040 - 0.120 in. (1.0 - 3.0 mm)].

2. Remove Intake Hose and inspect Throttle Plate for excessive carbon deposits.
3. Is Throttle Plate being held open with excessive carbon deposits?

YES: Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NO: Go to "Air Leakage Inspection" procedure.

AIR LEAKAGE INSPECTION
1. Visually/physically inspect the air leakage in intake/exhaust system as following items,
If OK, go to next step
If NG, repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
1. Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and improper connections.
2. Throttle body gasket.
3. Gasket between intake manifold and cylinder head.
4. Seals between intake manifold and fuel injectors.
5. Exhaust system between HO2S and Three way catalyst for air leakage.

2. Check for air leakage in EVAP. Purge control valve.
1. Remove the manifold side vacuum hose from the EVAP canister purge valve.
2. Using a hand vacuum pump apply specified vacuum(Approx. 15 in, Hg) to the manifold side of the valve.
3. Does the valve hold vacuum?

YES: Go to next step as below.

NO: Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

TERMINAL AND CONNECTOR INSPECTION
1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?

YES: Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

NO: Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.

COMPONENT INSPECTION
1. Ignition "OFF".
2. Remove ICA Valve from Throttle body. Check for throttle bore, throttle plate and the ICA passages for chocking and for any foreign objects. Repair or clean as necessary.
3. Install the ICA valve.
4. Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
5. Install scan tool and select "IDLE SPEED ACTUATOR" parameter on the "Actuation Test" mode.
6. Activates ICA valve by pressing "STAT" key.
7. Check the ICA valve for clicking sound and visually verifying valve closes and opens.

NOTE: Repeat numerous times to ensure valve reliability

8. Is ICA Valve OK?

YES: Check for poor connection between PCM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

NO: Check ICA for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good ICA and check for proper operation If the problem is corrected, replace ICA and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode
2. Press F4(DTAL) and confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions.
3. Read "DTC Status" parameter
4. Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?

YES: System performing to specification at this time. Clear the DTC

NO: Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.
