P0507
DTC P0507 Idle Speed High
Circuit Description
The PCM controls the air entering into the engine with an Idle Control (IAC) valve. In order to increase the idle rpm, the PCM commands the pintle inside the IAC valve away from the throttle body seat. This allows more air to bypass through the throttle blade. In order to decrease the rpm the PCM commands the pintle towards the throttle body seat. This reduces the amount of air bypassing the throttle blade. A scan tool will read the IAC valve pintle position in counts. The higher the counts, the more air that is allowed to bypass the throttle blade.
Conditions for Running the DTC
- No active MAP DTC's
- No active IAT DTC's
- No active ECT DTC's
- No active TP DTC's
- No active Oxygen Sensor DTC's
- No active Injector Control DTC's
- No active CKP DTC's
- No active CMP DTC's
- No active EVAP DTC's
- No active VSS DTC's
- No active PCM Memory DTC's
- BARO is more than 72 kPa.
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is more than 40° C (104° F).
- Engine has been running more than 20 seconds.
- Throttle Position (TP) angle is less than 1 percent.
- Battery Voltage is between 10 Volts and 17 Volts.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
- The idle speed deviates above desired rpm by more than 60 RPM for more than 12.5 seconds.
- The AC valve reads less than 2 counts on the scan tool.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) if a failure is detected during 2 consecutive key cycles.
- The control module sets the DTC and records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic failed. The failure information is stored in the scan tool's Freeze Frame and Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
- The control module turns OFF the MIL after 3 consecutive drive trips when the test has Run and Passed
- A history DTC will clear if no fault conditions have been detected for 40 warm-up cycles. A warm up cycle occurs when the coolant temperature has risen 22° C (40° F) from the startup coolant temperature and the engine coolant reaches a temperature that is more than 70° C (158° F) during the same ignition cycle.
- Use the scan tool Clear Information function
Diagnostic Aids
- Inspect the IAC valve electrical connection for proper mating.
- Inspect the wiring harness for damage.
- Inspect for a disconnected, cracked or cut vacuum hoses.
- Inspect for the proper installation of the crankcase ventilation valve.
- Inspect the intake manifold and throttle body for leaks.
- Inspect the intake manifold for cracks.
- Refer to Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle and Stalling.

Test Description
The numbers below refers to the step numbers on the Diagnostic Table.
1. The Powertrain OBD System Check prompts you to complete some of the basic checks and to store the freeze frame and failure records data on the scan tool if applicable. This creates an electronic copy of the data captured when the malfunction occurred. The scan tool stores this data for later reference.
2. A normally operating IAC system will be able to extend and retract by a scan tool and change the engine idle RPM. The valve movement is verified by an engine RPM change.
3. If the scan tool was able to command the IAC valve smoothly, a malfunction may still exist internally within the IAC valve. You can verify this by checking the internal resistance of the IAC valve.
5. The IAC circuits always have ground or voltage signals in pairs. If the test lamp illuminates on more or less than 2 terminals, one of the circuits is shorted to voltage or open.
6. The IAC circuits always have ground or voltage signals in pairs. If the test lamp illuminates on more or less than 2 terminals, one of the circuits is shorted to ground or open.
8. The IAC circuits are constantly switched between ground and voltage. The test lamp should blink on all circuits when connected to ground.
10. Thoroughly check any suspected circuitry for the following conditions:
- Backed out terminals
- Improper mating
- Broken locks
- Improperly formed or damaged terminals
- Poor terminal to wiring connections
- Physical damage to the wiring harness.
12. A test lamp that remains ON constantly indicates that the circuit is shorted to voltage.
14. Program the replacement PCM and perform the crankshaft position system variation learn procedure Refer to the latest Isuzu Technical Communications System (ITCS) information for PCM programming.
16. If no malfunctions are present at this point and no additional DTCs were set, refer to Diagnostic Aids for additional checks and information.
