D

Diagnostic Trouble Code P0502 can be cleared by
using the Scan Tool’s ”Clear Info” function.

Diagnostic Aids

D

Poor connection at ECM: Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken

locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.

D

Damaged harness: Inspect the wiring harness to the
EVAP vent solenoid, the EVAP purge solenoid, and the
fuel tank pressure sensor for an intermittent open or
intermittent short circuit.

X22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0506 IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM RPM

LOWER THAN EXPECTED

D06RX112

Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) controls engine idle
speed by adjusting the position of the idle air control (IAC)
motor pintle. The IAC is a bi–directional stepper motor
driven by two coils. The ECM applies current to the IAC
coils in steps (counts) to extend the IAC pintle into a
passage in the throttle body to decrease air flow. The
ECM reverses the current to retract the pintle, increasing
air flow. This method allows highly accurate control of idle
speed and quick response to changes in engine load. If
the ECM detects a condition where too low of an idle
speed is present and the ECM is unable to adjust idle
speed by increasing the IAC counts, DTC P0506 will set,
indicating a problem with the idle control system.  DTC
P0506 is a type B code.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

D

No intrusive tests being run.

D

Engine run time is more than 125 seconds.

D

No TPS, VSS, ECT, EGR, MAP, IAT, low voltage, fuel
system or canister purge Diagnostic Trouble Codes
are set.

D

Barometric pressure is greater than 72.7 kPa.

D

Canister purge duty cycle is above 0%.

D

Engine coolant temperature (ECT) is above 50

°

C

(122

°

F).

D

Intake air temperature above –40

°

C (–40

°

F).

D

MAP is less than 60 kPa.

D

Ignition voltage is between 9.5 volts and 16 volts.

D

The throttle is closed.

D

All conditions are met for 10 seconds.

D

Engine speed is at least 100 RPM lower than desired
idle, based upon ECM expectations.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

D

The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

D

The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the Diagnostic Trouble Code was set as Freeze
Frame and in the Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

D

Diagnostic Trouble Code P0506 can be cleared by
using the Scan Tool’s ”Clear Info” function.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

D

Poor connection at ECM or IAC motor – Inspect
harness connectors for backed–out terminals,
improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or
damaged terminals, and poor terminal–to–wire
connection.

6E1–196

X22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION

D

Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage; shorts to ground, shorts to battery positive,
and open circuits.

D

Restricted air intake system – Check for a possible
collapsed air intake duct, restricted air filter element, or
foreign objects blocking the air intake system.

D

Throttle body – Check for objects blocking the IAC
passage or throttle bore, excessive deposits in the IAC
passage and on the IAC pintle, and excessive deposits
in the throttle bore and on the throttle plate.

D

Large vacuum leak – Check for a condition that causes
a large vacuum leak, such as an incorrectly installed or
faulty PCV valve or brake booster hose disconnected.

Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the Diagnostic Trouble Code to
be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the
condition.

Visually/physically inspect for the following conditions:

D

Throttle body tampering (adjustment screw plug
removed).

D

Restricted air intake system. Check for a possible
collapsed air intake duct, restricted air filter
element, or foreign objects blocking the air intake
system.

D

Throttle body. Check for objects blocking the IAC
passage or throttle bore, excessive deposits in
the IAC passage and on the IAC pintle, and
excessive deposits in the throttle bore and on the
throttle plate.

Do any of the above require a repair?
