Inspection Procedure

NOTE:

When the throttle position is slightly opened (the accelerator pedal is slightly depressed) because a floor carpet is overlapped on the accelerator pedal, or if the accelerator pedal is not fully released, etc., DTC P0505 will possibly be detected.
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data from the time when a malfunction occurred.

Are there any other codes (besides P0505) being output?

PREPARATION:

Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool main switch ON.
When using hand-held tester, enter the following menu: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO/CURRENT CODES.

CHECK:

Read the DTC using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool.
