Lexus ES: Idle Control System (P050500)
DESCRIPTION
The idle speed is controlled by the electronic throttle control system. The electronic throttle control system is comprised of: 1) one valve type throttle body with motor assembly; 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; 5) the ECM, which controls the electronic throttle control system. 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 | The idle speed differs largely 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. The ECM determines that the idle speed control 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 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.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
Click here
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
Click here
-
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:
-
The following conditions may also cause DTC P050500 to be stored:
- If the floor carpet or floor mat is resting slightly on the accelerator pedal, causing the accelerator pedal to be slightly depressed and therefore the throttle valve position to be slightly open.
- The accelerator pedal is not fully released.
-
Refer to "Data List / Active Test" [Engine Speed, Engine Speed and ISC Learning Value].
Click here
- 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.

| Inspection Mode |
(e) Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher.
HINT:
The A/C switch and all accessories should be off.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the EGR Step Position / Data List / Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure , Coolant Temperature and Engine Independent.
Powertrain > Engine > Active Test| Active Test Display |
|---|
| Control the EGR Step Position |
| Data List Display |
|---|
| Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure |
| Coolant Temperature |
| Engine Independent |
(g) Confirm that the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Operate" then check the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure while performing the Active Test.
NOTICE:
- Make sure that the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Operate" while performing the Active Test.
- Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.
- Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.
- Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.
OK:
The value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure changes in response to the EGR step position when the value of Engine Independent is "Operate".
Standard:
| - | Control the EGR Step Position (Active Test) | |
|---|---|---|
| 0 Steps | 0 to 30 Steps | |
| Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure (Data List) | (EGR valve is fully closed) | Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value is at least +10 kPa (1.45 psi) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed |
HINT:
- If the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Not Opr" when the engine is idling, charge control is being performed. Perform the Active Test after charge control is complete ("Operate" is displayed).
- While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure is small, the EGR valve assembly may be malfunctioning.
- Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure increases will be smaller than normal.
