Lexus ES: Idle Control System (P050500)
DESCRIPTION
The idle speed is controlled by the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System). The ETCS is comprised of: 1) the one valve type throttle body; 2) the throttle actuator, which operates the throttle valve; 3) the throttle position sensor, which detects the opening angle of the throttle valve; 4) the accelerator pedal position sensor, which detects the accelerator pedal position; and 5) the ECM, which controls the ETCS. Based on the target idle speed, the ECM controls the throttle actuator to provide the proper throttle valve opening angle.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P050500 | Idle Control System | Idle speed continues to vary greatly from the target idle speed (2 trip detection logic). |
| Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P0505 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the idle speed and idling air flow volume to conduct Idle Speed Control (ISC). The ECM determines that the ISC system is malfunctioning if either of the following conditions is met:
- The difference between the target engine idle speed and actual engine idle speed exceeds the threshold and the idle control correction value is stuck at the upper or lower limit for 5 seconds or more.
-
After driving at a vehicle speed of 10 km/h (6.25 mph) or more, the difference between the target and actual engine idle speed exceeds the threshold 5 times or more during a driving cycle, and then the system determines that the idle control correction value is stuck at the upper or lower limit, or that the idle control correction value has been changed by an amount that exceeds the threshold.

HINT:
In order to keep the idling stable, turn off the A/C and all other electric loads and do not perform any shift operations.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
-
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P050500.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
-
The following conditions may also cause DTC P050500 to be stored:
- The floor carpet overlapping slightly onto the accelerator pedal, causing the accelerator pedal to be slightly depressed and therefore the throttle valve position to be slightly open.
- The accelerator pedal being not fully released.
-
Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [Engine Speed, ISC F/B Torque and ISC F/B Learn Torque].

- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. 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 moving or stationary, 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.
