| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0505 | Idle Control System |
DESCRIPTION
The idle speed is controlled by the electronic throttle control system. The electronic throttle control system is comprised of: 1) one valve type throttle body with motor assembly; 2) the throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve; 3) the throttle position sensor, which detects the opening angle of the throttle valve; 4) the accelerator pedal position sensor, which detects the accelerator pedal position; 5) the ECM, which controls the electronic throttle control system. Based on the target idle speed, the ECM controls the throttle actuator to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0505 | Idle Control System | Idle speed continues to vary greatly from target idle speed (2 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the idle speed and idling air flow volume to conduct idle speed control. The ECM determines that the idle speed control system is malfunctioning if either of the following conditions is met:
The difference between the target engine idle speed and actual engine idle speed exceeds the threshold and the IAC flow rate learned value is stuck at the upper or lower limit for 5 seconds or more.
After driving at a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more, the difference between the target and actual engine idle speed exceeds the threshold 5 times or more during a driving cycle, and then the system determines that the IAC flow rate learned value is stuck at the upper or lower limit, or that the IAC flow rate learned value has been changed by an amount that exceeds the threshold.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on [A].
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 70°C (158°F) or higher with all the accessories switched off [B].
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
Reconnect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

Start the engine and rev the engine for 5 seconds with shift lever in P [C].
Idle the engine for 5 minutes or more [D].
Tech Tips
In order to keep the idling stable, turn off the A/C and all other electric loads and do not perform any shift operations.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [E].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0505.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [F] through [I].
With the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more [F].
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Tech Tips
If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.
Stop the vehicle and rev the engine for 5 seconds with shift lever in P [G].
Idle the engine for 20 seconds or more [H].
Repeat the steps [F] through [H] 10 times.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [I].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P0505.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |

Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
After turning power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.
Tech Tips
The following conditions may also cause DTC P0505 to be stored:
The floor carpet overlapping slightly onto the accelerator pedal, causing the accelerator pedal to be slightly depressed and therefore the throttle valve position to be slightly open.
The accelerator pedal being not fully released.
Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [Engine Speed, ISC Feedback Value and ISC Learning Value].
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0505)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.

Confirm that the Throttle Idle Position is ON and check the MAP values in the Data List while performing the Active Test.
Tech Tips
Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.
Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.
Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.
