P0506

DTC PO5O6
IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM RPM LOWER THAN EXPECTED (ISC - L)

Description
- Idle air control solenoid valve consists of an air cut valve, duty control valve, intake air passage and a coolant passage.
- Air cut valve contains a bimetallic substance which responds to coolant temperature, and a duty control valve which is operated by a signal sent from Engine Control Module (ECM).
- When engine coolant temperature is low, air cut valve is fully opened by the action of the bimetallic substance so that the air flow required for low engine coolant temperatures is maintained.
- ECM controls duty control valve to bring the operating engine speed as close to preset idle speed as possible.
