OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0506 Hyundai
Idle Air Control System RPM Lower Than Expected
What does this mean?
OBD2 Code P0506 Hyundai definition:
This P0506 Hyundai code is one that’s sometimes triggered on vehicles that have electronic throttle control. That is, they don’t have a regular throttle cable from the accelerator pedal to the engine. They rely on sensors and electronics to control the throttle. In this case, the P0506 Hyundai DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is triggered when the PCM (powertrain control module) detects an engine idle speed that is lower than the desired (pre-programmed) RPM.
Symptoms
Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0506 Hyundai
Most likely the only thing you’ll notice is the idle speed is lower than normal so it will likely be rougher. There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) illuminates.
Causes
Possible causes of OBD code P0506 Hyundai
A P0506 Hyundai DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following: A vacuum leak An air restriction in the intake air path or exhuast A faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve Damaged/failed/dirty throttle body Internal engine problem Failed PCM
Possible Solutions
