DTC

P050A00

Cold Start Idle Control System Performance

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

A monitor will run when the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). If certain conditions are met, a DTC will be stored after the engine idles for 13 seconds (2 trip detection logic).

This DTC is designed to monitor the idle air control at cold start. When the engine is started at an engine coolant temperature of less than 50°C (122°F), the ECM measures the accumulated mass air flow during engine idling. If the accumulated mass air flow does not reach the specified level within 10 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

The electronic throttle control system controls the idle speed. The electronic throttle control system operates the throttle actuator to open and close the throttle valve, and adjusts the intake air amount to achieve the target idle speed.

NOTICE:

The idle speed control learned values are cleared by performing learning value reset. Idle speed control learning needs to be performed before this DTC can be stored.

HINT:

Idle speed control learning is performed when the engine is warmed up and has been idling for 5 minutes.

DTC No.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

HINT:

  • After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

    Click here 2018 - 2024 MY Camry [03/2017 -        ]; A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  • When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.

    Click here 2018 - 2024 MY Camry [03/2017 -        ]; A25A-FKS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

  6. Start the engine and warm it up for 5 minutes or more.
  7. Stop the engine.
  8. Leave the vehicle outside overnight.
  9. Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].
  10. Turn the Techstream on.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Coolant Temperature.
  12. Check that the value of the Data List item Coolant Temperature is between -10 and 50°C (14 and 122°F).
  13. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is the same as the coolant temperature in the Freeze Frame Data.
  14. Idle the engine for 1 minute or more [B].
  15. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
  16. Read the pending DTC.

    HINT:

    Description

    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal

    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed
    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    HINT:

    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE, idle the engine for 3 minutes, let the engine cool down, and then perform steps [A] through [B] again.

HINT:

  • If the result of the inspection performed in step 13 (READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR)) indicated no problem, proceed to the next step without replacing the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
  • Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
