When open, the ISC valve&mdash;also known as an Idle Air Control (IAC) valve&mdash;allows air to bypass the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/throttle-body\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"throttle\">throttle<\/a>, increasing idle speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Closing the valve decreases bypass airflow, resulting in lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/what-does-car-rpm-stand-for\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"RPM\">RPM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, when the throttle is closed, the PCM determines idle speed by measuring engine RPM via the crankshaft position sensor. The PCM also uses data from additional sensors, such as the AC pressure switch, coolant sensor, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/speed-sensor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"speed sensor\">speed sensor<\/a>, to regulate idle speed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to note that most newer vehicles use an electronic throttle actuator system (ETC) rather than an ISC or IAC valve. In an ETC system, the mechanical throttle linkage is eliminated. In its place, the control module (usually the PCM) uses an electric motor to operate the throttle body. The PCM primarily looks at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/accelerator-pedal-position-sensor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"accelerator pedal position sensor (APP)\">accelerator pedal position sensor (APP)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/throttle-position-sensor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"throttle position sensor (TP)\">throttle position sensor (TP)<\/a> to determine throttle operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As was mentioned, code P0507 will set when the PCM determines that idle speed exceeds a predetermined specification for a certain amount of time. The standard RPM per vehicle varies depending on make and model, but most engines should ideally run between 600 and 800 RPM while idling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, some GM vehicles will trigger code P0507 if the engine computer clocks an idle speed that is 200 RPM above the recommended range. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might find OBD-II code P0507 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/nissan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Nissan\">Nissan<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/hyundai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Hyundai\">Hyundai<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/audi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Audi\">Audi<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/honda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Honda\">Honda<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/chevrolet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chevrolet\">Chevrolet<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/volkswagen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"VW,\">VW,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/mazda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Mazda\">Mazda<\/a>, and a variety of other vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re planning a DIY fix, you may read our technical discussion about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/p0506-idle-air-control-system-rpm-lower-than-expected\/#A_Quick_History_of_Idle_Control_Systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"idle air control systems\">idle air control systems<\/a>.

In most cases, the code gets triggered even if the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve is closed, which only means that there is a vacuum leak and the system is trying to decrease idle speed by closing the idle air bypass circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to start by ruling out this problem before checking for other possible causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Engine vacuum leaks <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faulty or clogged Idle Speed Control (ISC)\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/idle-control-valve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Idle Air Control (IAC) valve\">Idle Air Control (IAC) valve<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/bad-throttle-body-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Problems with the  throttle body\">Problems with the  throttle body<\/a> and\/or electronic throttle actuator (ETC) motor  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engine mechanical problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restricted exhaust<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Circuit issues, such as damaged wiring and loose connections <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Issues with the air intake system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sensor problems <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Issues with the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Control module or data network problems (rare)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/throttle-body-of-a-car-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"throttle body of a car\" class=\"wp-image-10429\" style=\"width:1024px;height:683px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/throttle-body-of-a-car-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/throttle-body-of-a-car-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/throttle-body-of-a-car-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/throttle-body-of-a-car-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/throttle-body-of-a-car.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Problems with the throttle body can trigger code P0507.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Common Symptoms of the P0507 Code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s best to address a P0507 code as soon as you can to prevent possible engine damage, which will be more costly to repair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the symptoms you might observe when the code is set: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/check-engine-light-flashing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Check engine light turned on\">Check engine light turned on<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty starting the engine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engine stalling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rough, fluctuating, or high idle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Diagnose the P0507 Code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can tell, there are quite a few issues that can trigger code P0507.
