Description
The ECM controls the engine idle speed to a specified level via the fine adjustment of the air, which is let into the intake manifold, by operating the electric throttle control actuator. The operating of the throttle valve is varied to allow for optimum control of the engine idling speed. The crankshaft position sensor (POS) detects the actual engine speed and sends a signal to the ECM.
The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator so that the engine speed coincides with the target value memorized in the ECM. The target engine speed is the lowest speed at which the engine can operate steadily.
The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by taking into consideration various engine conditions, such as during warming up, deceleration and engine load (air conditioner, power steering and cooling fan operation, etc.).

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE: If DTC P0507 is displayed with other DTC, first perform the trouble diagnosis for the other DTC.
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conducting the next test.
If the target idle speed is out of the specified value, perform EC-21, "IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING : Special Repair Requirement", before conducting DTC Confirmation Procedure.
TESTING CONDITION:
2.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK PCV HOSE CONNECTION
Confirm that PCV hose is connected correctly.
2.CHECK INTAKE AIR LEAKAGE
3.REPLACE ECM
Precautions on child restraints
WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
for proper use and installation
of child restraints could result in
serious injury or death of a child or
other passengers in a sudden stop or
collision:

Increasing fuel economy
Keep your engine tuned up.
Follow the recommended scheduled maintenance.
Keep the tires inflated to the correct pressure.
Low tire pressure increases tire wear
and lowers fuel economy.
Keep the wheels in correct alignment. Improper
alignment increases tire wear and

P050A, P050e cold start control
Description
ECM controls ignition timing and engine idle speed when engine is started
with pre-warming up condition.
This control promotes the activation of three way catalyst by heating the
catalyst and reduces emissions.
