Fault Conditions



P0507

Idle Speed Control. Idling Speed Too High.










Fault symptoms
^ CHECK ENGINE.
^ Fast idling speed.

IMPORTANT: Check the crankcase ventilation for leaks before performing any other fault diagnosis.

See Inspection of crankcase ventilation hoses.
DTCs P0101, P0106, P0300, P0455 and P1300 can be generated as a result of the DTCs above when the cause of the DTC is a leak in the crankcase ventilation. Once the leak has been rectified, the other DTC can be deleted.

On-Board Diagnostics

Type of diagnosis:
^ Continuous. But interrupted when fault criteria fulfilled and will not restart until next driving cycle.

Enable criteria:
^ General conditions for this trouble code: Barometric pressure must exceed 72 kPa and the engine coolant and intake air temperatures must exceed -7 degree C.
^ Engine running. Car stationary. Accelerator pedal fully released. Idle speed control requesting smallest possible air mass per combustion.

Fault criteria:
^ Engine speed more than 200 rpm higher than the requested idling speed for 10 s.

Dependents:
^ P0501, P0502, P1230, P1530, P1531, P1532 and P1925.

System reaction to a fault:
^ None.

OK report:
^ Diagnosis performed once and fault criteria not fulfilled.

Fault handling: (for more information, Fault Handling III, Other Emission-Related Components and Function)

^ Type III.

Diagnostic help
If other codes have been generated, check whether fault diagnosis should start with any of them. Then, check whether the throttle is in limp-home mode and finally check whether there is an air leak after the throttle.

Functions in the diagnostic tool related to the fault:
^ Diagnostic status for the diagnosis.
^ Idle speed control, unit ON/OFF.
^ Idling speed difference, unit rpm.
