DTC P0505: ldle Control System Malfunction
NOTE: lf DTC P1519 is stored atthe same time as DTC
P0505, troubleshoot DTC P1519 first, then recheck for
DTC P0505.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on,
then let it idle,
2. Checkthe engine speed at idle with no,load
conditions: headlights, blower fan, rear defogger,
radiator fan, and air conditioner off.
Is the engine running at 750t50 rpm?
YES - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this
trme.I
NO lf the idle speed is less than 700 rpm, go to
step 3; if it's 800 rpm or higher, go to step 4.
3. Disconnect the idle air control {lAC) valve3P
connector.
Does the engine speed increase or fluctuate?
YES- Check the idle speed {see page 1 1-138). lf the
idle will not adjust properly, clean the passage in
the throttle body, and then adjust the idle. I
NO- Replace the IAC valve.I
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
5. Remove the intake air duct from the throttle body.
6. Start the engine, and let it idle.

ECM ldle Learn Procedure
The idle learn procedure must be done so the ECM can
learn the engine idle characteristics.
Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of
these actions:. Disconnect the battery.
Replace the ECM or disconnect its connector.
Reset the ECM.
NOTE: Erasing DTCS with the Honda PGM Tester
does not require you to do the idle learn procedure.
Remove the No.6 ECU {ECM) ( 15A) fuse from the
under-hood fuse/relay box.
Remove the No.19 baftery (80A) fuse from the under-
hood fuse/relay box.
Remove PGM-FI main relay 1.
Remove any of the wires from the under-hood fuse/
retay Dox.
Disconnect any of the connectors from the under
hood fuse/relay box.
Disconnect the connector between the engine
compartment wire harness and ECM wire harness.
Disconnect the G2 terminal from the transmission
ho u srng.
Disconnectthe G'l terminal from the body.
Disconnectthe G101 terminal from the cylinder head
cover.
Procedure:
To complete the idle learn procedure, do this:
1. Make sure all electrical items (Ay'C, audio, rear
defogger, l:ghts, etc.,) are off.
2. Start the engine, and hold it at 3,000 rpm with no
load {in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or
until the engine coolanttemperature reaches 194"F(90'c).
3. Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the
throttle fully closed.
NOTE: lf the radiator fan comes on, do not include its
running time in the 5 minutes.
