4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

Verify none of the following conditions exist:

P0506

* Excess deposits in the Q38 throttle body. Refer to Throttle Body Inspection and Cleaning (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and

Air Induction/Throttle Body/Service and Repair/Procedures).

* Restricted exhaust

* Mechanical conditions that limits engine speed

* Parasitic load on the engine-For example, a transmission condition, a belt driven accessory condition.

瀚慖f a condition is found, repair as necessary.

P0507

* Vacuum leaks

* A throttle valve that does not close correctly

* Verify the correct operation of the crankcase ventilation system. Inspect for the following conditions:

- The routing of the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system

- Vacuum leaks in the PCV system-Refer to Crankcase Ventilation System Inspection/Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Emission

Control Systems/Positive Crankcase Ventilation/Testing and Inspection).

瀚慖f a condition is found, repair as necessary.

DTC Descriptors

DTC P0506

- Idle Speed Low

DTC P0507

- Idle Speed High

Circuit/System Description

The throttle actuator control (TAC) motor is a DC motor that is part of the throttle body assembly. The TAC motor drives the throttle valve. The

engine control module (ECM) controls the TAC motor based on throttle position sensor input. The idle speed is controlled by the ECM based on

various inputs. The ECM commands the TAC motor to open or close the throttle valve in order to maintain the desired idle speed.
