DTC P0505-00: Idle Control System [09/2022 - ]: Description

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2024 Lexus IS 300, 2023 Lexus IS 300, 2022 Lexus IS 300, 2021 Lexus IS 300, and 2020 Lexus IS 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
