i P0505 | fne scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0505: ldle control system malfunction,
NOTE: ll DTC Pl508 is stored at the same time as DTC P0505, troubleshoor DTC P1508 first. then troubleshoot DTC P0505.
Possible Cause
. IAC valve mechanical malfunctiorr
. Fast idle thermo valve malfunction (A"/T)
. Throttle body clogged port, improper adjustment
. Intake manifold, gasket leakage
. Intake air hose loose, leakage
a Vacuum hoses leakage
. ECT sensor incorrect output
. Throttle Position sensor incorrect output
Troubleshooting Flowchart
Problem verification:1. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm wath noload 1in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on,then let it idle.2. With the scan tool, check thefollowing items.- Throttle position should beapprox. 10% with the throttle fully closed.Engine coolant tempera-ture should be 116 212F(80 - 100'c).lf they are not within thespec., repair the faulty sensor crrcuft,3 Check the engine speed atidle with no-load conditions:headlights, blower fan, reardefogger, radiator fan, and airconditioner are not operating,
- The MIL has been reported on.- DTC P0505 is stored.

Reconnect the 2P connectors to the IAC valve and
the EVAP purge control solenoid valve, then do the
ECM reset procedures.
Restart and idle the engine with no-load conditions
for one minute, then check the idle speed.
NOTE: (Canada) Pullthe parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are off.

NOTE: 81881, Bl8Cl engines - It the idle speed
increases to *1rpm, this means the EVAP system ispurging the canister. To stop the purging termporarily.
raise the engine speed above 1,000 rpm with the

NOTE:
. When setting the idle speed, checkthe following items:- The MIL has not been reported on.- lgnition timing
Spark plugs- Air cleaner- PCV system
. (Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle,

if the engine stalls, restan the engine with the accel
erator pedal slightly depressed. Stabilize the rpm at
1,000, then slowly release the pedal until the engine
idles.
Check idling in no-load conditions: headlights, blower
fan, rear defogger, radiator fan, and air conditioner
are not ope€tlng.
ldlo speed should be;
B188l engine:

818C5 sngine:550 t 50 rpm
lf necessary, adjust the idle speed, by turning theidle adjusting screw.
After adjusting the idle speed, recheck the ignition
timing {see section 23). lf it is out of spec, go back

Emission Gontrol System
System Description
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWCI
\
t
The emission control system includes a Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) system and Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
tederal and state emission standards.
InsDeciion
!@@ Do not smoke during this procedure. Keep
any open llame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.
2. Connect a tachometer.
Check and adjust the idle speed, if necessary (see
page '11-11 ! ).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with rhe headlights, heater blower,
rear window defogger, cooling fan, and air condition-
er off.
NOTE: {Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up.
Start the engine, then check that the headlights are
olf.
CO meter should indicste 0.17o maximum.
DescriDtion
The Three Way Catalytic Converter {TWC) is used to convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas, to carbon dioxide (COr), dinitrogen {Nr) and water vapor.
