DTC P0505 Idle Control System Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The rotary solenoid type IAC valve is located on the throttle
body and intake air bypassing the throttle valve is directed to
the IAC valve through a passage.
In this way the intake air volume bypassing the throttle valve is
regulated, controlling the engine speed.
The ECM operates only the IAC valve to perform idle−up and
provide feedback for the target idling speed.

DTC P1300 Igniter Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This ECM determines the ignition timing, turns on Tr1 at a predetermined angle (°CA) before the desired
ignition timing and outputs an ignition signal (IGT) ”1” to the igniter.
Since the width of the IGT signal is constant, the dwell angle control circuit in the igniter determines the time
the control circuit starts primary current flow to the ignition coil based on the engine rpm and ignition timing
one revolution ago, that is, the time the Tr
2 turns on.
When it reaches the ignition timing, the ECM turns Tr
1 off and outputs the IGT signal ”O”.
This turns Tr
2 off, interrupting the primary current flow and generating a high voltage in the secondary coil
which causes the spark plug to spark. Also, by the counter electromotive force generated when the primary
current is interrupted, the igniter sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) to the ECM.
The ECM stops fuel injection as a fail safe function when the IGF signal is not input to the ECM.
DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
P1300No IGF signal to ECM for 8 consecutive IGT signals during
engine running.Open or short in IGF or IGT circuit from igniter to ECM
