Description
NHEC0787
NOTE:
If DTC P0506 is displayed with other DTC, first perform the trouble diagnosis for the other DTC.
The ECM controls the engine idle speed to a specified level through the fine adjustment of the air, which is
let into the intake manifold, by operating the electric throttle control actuator. The operating of the throttle valve
is varied to allow for optimum control of the engine idling speed. The crankshaft position sensor (POS) 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 the lowest speed at which the engine can operate steadly.
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.).

If
DTC
Confirmation
Procedure
has
been
previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10
seconds before conducting the next test.
I
If the target idle speed is out of the specified value, per-
form “Idle Air Volume Learning” before conducting “DTC
Confirmation Procedure”. For the target idle speed, refer
to the “Service Data and Specifications (SDS)”, EC-739.
TESTING CONDITION:
I
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that
battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.
I
Always perform the test at a temperature above −10°C
(14°F).
