DTC P0506[L3 Turbo]

id0102b7808600

DTC P0506

Idle control system RPM lower than expected
DETECTION CONDITION
•  Actual idle speed is lower than expected by 100 rpm for 14 s when the brake pedal is depressed (brake switch is on) and the steering wheel is held straight ahead (power steering pressure switch is off).
Note
•  If the atmospheric pressure is less than 72.3 kPa {542 mmHg, 21.3 inHg} or the intake air temperature is below –10 °C {14 °F}, the PCM cancels the diagnosis of P0506.
Diagnostic support note
•  This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
•  MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
•  PENDING CODE is available if PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
•  DTCs are stored in PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Electronic throttle control system malfunction
•  Air cleaner element clogged
•  Air intake passage clogged
•  A/C relay control circuit malfunction
•  Generator malfunction
•  Purge solenoid valve malfunction
•  Low engine compression (Over capacity of blow-by gas)
•  PCM malfunction

•  Is the magnet clutch still on?
Yes
Refer to “A/C is always on or A/C compressor runs continuously.” of ENGINE SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING, then go to Step 11.
(See NO.24 A/C IS ALWAYS ON OR A/C COMPRESSOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY[L3 Turbo].)
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
•  Inspect the following parts:
―  APP sensor
―  TP sensor
•  Are they normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the necessary parts, then go to Step 11.
6
INSPECT PURGE SOLENOID VALVE MALFUNCTION
•  Perform the purge solenoid valve inspection.
•  Is the purge solenoid valve normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the purge solenoid valve, then go to Step 11.
7
INSPECT AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
•  Remove the air cleaner element with the engine running.
•  Does the engine speed increase?
Yes
Replace the air cleaner element, then go to Step 11.
No
Go to the next step.
8
INSPECT THROTTLE BODY PASSAGE
•  Is the throttle body clogged?
Yes
Clean or replace the throttle body passage, then go to Step 11.
No
Go to the next step.
9
INSPECT ENGINE COMPRESSION
•  Inspect the engine compression.
•  Is the engine compression normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Overhaul the engine, then go to Step 11.
10
INSPECT GENERATOR
•  Perform the generator inspection.
•  Is the generator normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the related part, then go to the next step.
11
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0506 COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.

•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Depress the brake pedal for 14 s or more.
•  Is PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
12
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform the “After Repair Procedure”.
•  Are any DTCs present?
