Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK INPUT SIGNAL TO ECM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure the voltage between ECM and 

chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 11 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

10 V

Go to step 3.

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM connector. 
Is there poor contact in ECM connector?

There is poor contact.

<Ref. to 
FU(H4DOSTC)-
40, Engine Con-
trol Module.>

3

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN RELIEF 
VALVE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE 2 AND 
ECM CONNECTOR.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect the connector from relief valve 

control solenoid valve 2.

3) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4) Measure the voltage between ECM and 

chassis ground.

Connector & terminal

(B136) No. 11 (+) — Chassis ground (

−−−−

):

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

10 V

Repair the battery 
short circuit in har-
ness between 
ECM and relief 
valve control sole-
noid valve 2 con-
nector. After 
repair, replace the 
ECM.  <Ref. to 
FU(H4DOSTC)-
40, Engine Con-
trol Module.>

Go to step 4.

4

CHECK RELIEF VALVE CONTROL SOLE-
NOID VALVE 2.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Measure the resistance between relief 

valve control solenoid valve 2 terminals.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

1 

Ω

Replace the relief 
valve control sole-
noid valve 2.  
<Ref. to 
IN(H4DOSTC)-19, 
Solenoid Box 
Assembly.> and 
replace ECM  
<Ref. to 
FU(H4DOSTC)-
40, Engine Con-
trol Module.>

Go to step 5.

5

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM and relief valve 
control solenoid valve 2 connectors.
Are there poor contact in ECM and relief valve 
control solenoid valve 2 connectors?

There are poor contacts.

Repair the poor 
contact in ECM 
and relief valve 
control solenoid 
valve 2 connec-
tors.

Replace the  ECM.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

BJ:DTC P1507 — IDLE CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (FAIL-SAFE) —

• TROUBLE SYMPTOM:

• Engine keeps running at higher revolution than specified idling revolution.
• Fuel is cut according to fail-safe function.

CAUTION:
After repair or replacement of faulty parts, conduct Clear Memory Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOSTC)-35, 
OPERATION, Clear Memory Mode.> and Inspection Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOSTC)-33, Inspection 
Mode.> .

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.
Is any other DTC displayed?

DTC indicated.

Inspect the rele-
vant DTC using 
“List of Diagnostic 
Trouble Code 
(DTC)”. <Ref. to 
EN(H4DOSTC)-
62, List of Diag-
nostic Trouble 
Code (DTC).>  

NOTE:
In this case, it is
not necessary to
inspect DTC
P0507.

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.
1) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
2) Start the engine, and idle it.
3) Check the following items:
•Loose installation of intake manifold, idle air 
control solenoid valve and throttle body
•Cracks of intake manifold gasket, idle air con-
trol solenoid valve gasket and throttle body 
gasket
•Disconnections of vacuum hoses

Is there a fault in the air intake system?

There is no problem.

Go to step 3.

Repair the air suc-
tion and leaks.

3

CHECK THROTTLE CABLE.
Does the throttle cable have play for adjust-
ment?

Cable has play correctly.

Go to step 4.

Adjust the throttle 
cable.  <Ref. to 
SP(H4SO)-10, 
Accelerator Con-
trol Cable.>

4

CHECK AIR BY-PASS LINE.
1) Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
2) Remove the idle air control solenoid valve 

from throttle body.  <Ref. to 
FU(H4DOSTC)-35, Idle Air Control Sole-
noid Valve.>

3) Confirm that there are no foreign particles 

in the by-pass air line.
Are foreign particles in the by-pass air line?

Foreign particles are in the by-
pass air line.

Remove the for-
eign particles from 
by-pass air line.

Replace the idle 
air control solenoid 
valve. <Ref. to 
FU(H4DOSTC)-
35, Idle Air Con-
trol Solenoid 
Valve.>
