Inspection Procedure

HINT:

• The following conditions may also cause DTC P0505 to be set:
  1. 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.
  2. The accelerator pedal being not fully released.
• Read freeze frame data using a Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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.

1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0505) 
   1. Connect a Techstream to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
   3. Turn the tester ON.
   4. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
   5. Read DTCs.

      HINT:

      If any DTCs other than P0505 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

   B: Go to DTC CHART  (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  )

   A: Go to next step 

2. CHECK PCV HOSE CONNECTIONS 

   OK: 

   PCV hose is connected correctly and is not damaged. 

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE PCV HOSE 

   OK: Go to next step 

3. CHECK AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM 
   1. Check the air induction system for vacuum leak (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION ).

      OK: 

      No leak from air induction system. 

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM 

   OK: Go to next step 

4. INSPECT THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE) 
   1. Check the throttle valve condition.

      OK: 

      Throttle valve is not contaminated with foreign objects and moves smoothly. 

   NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE THROTTLE BODY  (See REMOVAL  )
