Typical Malfunction Thresholds

Functional check: 

HINT:

• The following conditions may also cause DTC P0505 to be set:
  1. The floor carpet overlapping onto the accelerator pedal, causing the accelerator pedal to be slightly depressed and therefore the throttle valve position to be slightly open.
  2. The accelerator pedal being not fully released.
• Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0505) 
   1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
   3. Turn the tester ON.
   4. Enter the following the menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
   5. Read DTCs.
