DTC P0507: Idle Speed High: Description

The Idle Air Control (IAC) valve consists of a 2-coil stepper motor controlling a pintle. PCM pulses a signal to the IAC valve by switching the high and low side circuits, depending on which direction the pintle needs to move. The amount of movement being commanded is displayed in counts on scan tool. With engine off, IAC pintle is retracted (80-100 counts) allowing maximum air during a restart. After start-up, the motor position commanded is based on coolant temperature and TP sensor values. DTC will set when actual engine speed is 200 RPM or greater than desired idle speed.
