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. If the ECM
detects the actual idle speed is not within a predetermined range of the desired idle speed, this DTC sets.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTC P0111, P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0119, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0335, P0336, P0338,
P2100-P2103 is not set.
* The engine load is less than 40 percent, for P0506.
* The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is warmer than 65掳C (149掳F), for P0506.
* The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is warmer than 69掳C (156掳F), for P0507.
* The intake air temperature (IAT) is warmer than -11掳C (+13掳F), for P0506.
* The engine speed is at idle.
* The engine is operating for greater than 100 s.
* The EVAP intrusive leak test is not enabled.
* The vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).
* The cold start idle speed control is not active.
* The evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve command less than 40 percent.
* A vehicle speed was detected prior to the diagnostic running.
* DTC P0506 and P0507 run continuously once the above conditions are met for greater than 10 s.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
P0506
The actual engine speed is less than the desired idle speed by at least 100 RPM for greater than 1 s or for a cumulative time of 4 s.
P0507
* The actual engine speed is greater than the desired idle speed by at least 200 RPM for greater than 1 s or for a cumulative time of 4 s.
OR
* The ECM detects 3 fuel cut-offs due to an engine over speed condition while the vehicle speed is zero.
P050A
The actual engine speed is 100 RPM less or 200 RPM greater than the desired idle speed, for greater than 1 s or a cumulative of 4 s, during a cold
start.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0506, P0507, and P050A are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0506, P0507, and P050A are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
Inspect for a condition in which the throttle valve may have been held open. For example, ice may have formed in the throttle bore.
