INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when
a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was
running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air±fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other
data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
1 Check operation of stop light.
CHECK:
Check if the stop lights come on and go off normally when the brake pedal is operated and released.
NG Check and repair stop light circuit.
OK
2 Check stop light switch (See page BE±47).
NG Replace stop light switch.
OK

DTC P0505 Idle Air Control System
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The idle speed is controlled by the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System).
The ETCS is composed of the throttle motor which operates the throttle valve, and the throttle position sen-
sor, which detects the opening angle of the throttle valve.
The ECM controls the throttle motor to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle to obtain the target
idle speed.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area
P0501Idle speed continues to vary greatly from target speed
(2 trip detection logic)
ETCS
Air induction system
PCV hose connection
ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM regulates the idle speed by opening and closing the throttle valve using the ETCS. The ECM con-
cludes that the idle speed control ECM function is malfunctioning if: 1) the actual idle RPM varies more than
the specified amount, or 2) a learning value of the idle speed control remains at the maximum or minimum
five times or more during a driving cycle. The ECM will turn on the MIL and set a DTC.
Example:
If the actual idle RPM varies from the target idle RPM by more than 100 (*1) rpm five times during a driving
cycle, the ECM will turn on the MIL and a DTC is set.
HINT:
*1: RPM threshold varies with engine load.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
When the throttle position is slightly opened (the accelerator pedal is slightly depressed) because a
floor carpet is overlapped on the accelerator pedal, or if the accelerator pedal is not fully released, etc.,
DTC P0505 will possibly be detected.
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions
when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the
vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air±fuel ratio was lean or
rich, as well as other data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
1 Are there any other codes (besides P0505) being output?
PREPARATION:
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand±held tester main switch ON.
(c) When using hand±held tester, enter the following menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC
INFO / CURRENT CODES.
CHECK:
Read the DTC using the hand±held tester.
RESULT:
Display (DTC Output)Proceed to
P0505A
ºP0505º and other DTCsB
HINT:
If any other codes besides P0505 are output, perform the troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
B Go to relevant DTC chart (See page DI±58).
