P0505 - IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) SYSTEM

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) attempts to control engine speed during the key on, engine running (KOER) self-test. The test fails when the desired RPM could not be reached or controlled during the self-test.
Possible Causes:

  • Intake air restriction
  • Exhaust restriction
  • Sludged throttle body
  • Vacuum leaks
  • Damaged electronic throttle body (ETB)
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  This DTC may be accompanied by other DTCs. Diagnose other DTCs first. If other DTCs are not present inspect the intake air system for air restrictions, vacuum leaks, and damage. If no concerns are present, clear the DTC and carry out the KOER self-test.
