Engine Control
P0507 Idle Air Control System-RPM Higher than Expected - General Information

General Description

The idle speed is controlled by the Electrical Throttle Control (ETC) System. ETC system is composed of the throttle motor to operate the throttle valve and the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) to detect the opening angle of the throttle valve; the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) detects the accelerator pedal position and a one valve type throttle body. The PCM controls the throttle motor to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle for the commanded engine rpm.

DTC Description

PCM monitors idle RPM. If actual idle speed is higher than commanded idle speed by 200 RPM for over 10 seconds, the PCM sets a P0507 DTC.
