DESCRIPTION
This monitor will run when the engine is started at -10 to 50C (14 to 122F) of the engine coolant
temperature. The DTC will set after the engine idling for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).
The DTC is designed to monitor the idle air control at cold start. When the engine is started at lower than
50
C (122F) of the engine coolant temperature, the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow at the
engine idling. If it does not reach the criteria within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction.
The MIL is illuminated and a DTC is set when the malfunction is detected in consecutive driving cycles (2
trip detection logic).
The ETCS (Electrical Throttle Control System) controls the idle speed. The ETCS operates the throttle
actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake air amount to achieve the target idle
speed.
NOTICE:
When the negative battery terminal is disconnected during inspection or repairs, the ISC (Idle
Speed Control) learned values are cleared. ISC learning is performed when the engine has been
warmed up and idled for 5 minutes because this DTC cannot be set after the ISC learned values
cleared.

TYPICAL MALFUNCTION THRESHOLDS
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
• DTC P050B may be set when the engine shows the symptom as listed below. If necessary, check the
trouble area as listed below.
• Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame
data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine
was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the
time of a malfunction.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Select the following the menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Result
HINT:
If any DTCs other than P050B are output, troubleshoot
those DTCs first.

HINT:
Calculate the total fuel trim values to check the characteristic
deviation of the mass air flow meter.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / SHORT
