DTC P0507: Idle Control System RPM Higher Than Expected

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
  1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 RPM (min-1 ) without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for at least 20 seconds.
  4. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0507 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

    Does the screen indicate FAILED? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep idling until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, recheck with different load conditions (electrical, A/C, gear position, etc.), then go to step  3.

  5. Check for vacuum leaks at these parts:
    • PCV valve
    • PCV hose
    • EVAP canister purge valve
    • Throttle body
    • Intake manifold
    • Brake booster hose
    • Brake booster

      Are there any leaks? 

      YES  -Repair or replace the leaking part(s), then go to step 6.

      NO  -Go to step 6.

  6. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  7. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
  8. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE  ).
  9. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 RPM (min-1 ) without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for at least 20 seconds.
  10. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC P0507 indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step  12.

    NO  -Go to step 11.

  11. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0507 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

    Does the screen indicate PASSED? 

    YES  -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step  10, go to the INDICATED DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .

    NO  -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the ECM/PCM, then go to step  1. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep idling until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, recheck with different load conditions (turn on the headlights, blower motor, or A/C; change the gear position, etc.), then go to step  9.

  12. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or substitute a known- good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).
  13. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 RPM (min-1 ) without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
  14. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC P0507 indicated? 

    YES  -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known- good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step  13. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step  1.

    NO  -Go to step 15.

  15. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0507 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

    Does the screen indicate PASSED? 

    YES  -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step  14, go to the INDICATED DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .

    NO  -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the throttle body and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step  13. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step  1. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep idling until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step  13.
