What does it mean to have an error code p0506?
Specifications on the definition, troubleshooting, and repairs, of course, vary from one make and model to another. Error Code P0506 means the PCM (powertrain control module) has detected an engine idle speed lower than the pre-programmed RPM. This error code is commonly found among vehicles with electronic throttle control.
When is the p0506 idle air control system lower than expected?
In this case, the P0506 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.
Why is the engine rpm lower than expected?
It means the Revolution Per Minute (RPM) of the idle control system is lower than expected, a problem usually caused by defective idle air control motor and vacuum leaks, which leads to loss of power in the engine’s performance.
What causes idle speed control rpm to be low?
Possible causes Dirty throttle body Electric throttle control actuator misadjusted or damaged Faulty Electric throttle control actuator Intake air leak Poor electrical connection to the Intake Air Control (IAC) valve

What is the diagnostic code for lower than expected rpm?
P0506 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Idle Control System RPM lower Than Expected”.
It means the Revolution Per Minute (RPM) of the idle control system is lower than expected, a problem usually caused by defective idle air control motor and vacuum leaks, which leads to loss of power in the engine’s performance.
