P0506 ISC SYSTEM
DescriptionINFOID:0000000006217861
The ECM controls the engine idle speed to a specified leve
l through the fine adjustment of the air, which is let
into the intake manifold, by operating the electric thrott le control actuator. The operating of the throttle valve is
varied to allow for optimum control of the engine idli ng speed. The crankshaft position sensor detects the
actual engine speed and sends a signal to the ECM.
The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator so that the engine speed coincides with the target value
memorized in the ECM. The target engine speed is t he lowest speed at which the engine can operate steadily.
The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by taking into consideration various engine conditions,
such as during warming up, deceleration and engine load (air conditioner, power steering and cooling fan
operation, etc.).
DTC LogicINFOID:0000000006217862
DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE:
If DTC P0506 is displayed with ot her DTC, first perform the trouble diagnosis for the other DTC.
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PRECONDITIONING
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
If the target idle speed is ou t of the specified value, perform EC-148, "
Work Procedure", before con-
ducting DTC Confirmation Procedure.
TESTING CONDITION:
 Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is 11 V or more at idle.
 Always perform the test at a temperature above −10 °C (14 °F).
>> GO TO 2.
2.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch ON.
4. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Restart engine and run it for at least 1 minute at idle speed.
6. Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES >> Go to EC-358, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217863
1.CHECK INTAKE AIR LEAKAGE
1. Start engine and let it idle.
2. Listen for an intake air leakage after the mass air flow sensor.
Is intake air leakage detected?
YES >> Discover air leakage location and repair.
DTC No. Trouble diagnosis name
(Trouble diagnosis content) DTC detecting condition Possible cause
P0506 ISC SYSTEM
(Idle speed control system
RPM lower than expected) The idle speed is less than the target idle
speed by 100 rpm or more.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE:
If DTC P0524 is displayed with DTC P0075 or P0081,
perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0075 or P0081
first. Refer to EC-193, "
DTC Logic".
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PRECONDITIONING-I
1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confi rm that battery voltage is between 10 V and 16 V at
idle.
>> GO TO 2.
2.PRECONDITIONING-II
Check oil level and oil pressure. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Proceed to LU-7, "
Inspection".
3.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
2. Maintain the following conditions for at least 20 consecutive seconds.
CAUTION:
Always drive at a safe speed.
3. Check 1st trip DTC.
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “With CONSULT-III” above.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES >> Proceed to EC-365, "Diagnosis Procedure"
DTC No.Trouble diagnosis name
(Trouble diagnosis content) Detecting condition Possible cause
P0524 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
(Engine oil pressure too low) Engine oil pressure is low because
there is a gap between angle of target
and phase-control angle.  Engine oil pressure or level too low
 Crankshaft position sensor
 Camshaft position sensor
 Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
 Accumulation of debris to the signal pick-up por-
tion of the camshaft
 Timing chain installation
 Foreign matter caught in the oil groove for intake valve timing control
ENG SPEED More than 1,700 rpm
COOLAN TEMP/S More than 70 °C (158 °F)
Selector lever 1st or 2nd position
Driving location uphill Driving vehicle uphill
(Increased engine load will help maintain the driving
conditions required for this test.)

Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
This procedure may be conducted with the drive wheel
s lifted in the shop or by driving the vehicle.
If a road test is expected to be easier , it is unnecessary to lift the vehicle.
2. Check 1st trip DTC.
Is 1st trip DTC detected?
YES >> Go to EC-439, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnosis ProcedureINFOID:0000000006217944
1.CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION-I
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Select “BRAKE SW1” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
3. Check “BRAKE SW1” indication under the following conditions.
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON.
2. Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals as per the following.
Is the inspection result normal?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> GO TO 3.
2.CHECK OVERALL FUNCTION-II
WITH CONSULT-III
Select “BRAKE SW2” and check indication under the following conditions.
WITHOUT CONSULT-III
Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals under the following conditions.
Vehicle speed More than 30 km/h (19 mph)
Selector lever Suitable position
Driving location Depress the brake pedal for more than 5 seconds so as
not to come off from the above-mentioned vehicle speed.
