To diagnose the P0505 2001 Toyota Echo code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The rotary solenoid type Idle Air Control (IAC) valve is located on the throttle body and intake air bypassing the throttle valve is directed to the IAC valve through a passage. In this way the intake air volume bypassing the throttle valve is regulated, controlling the engine speed. The Engine Control Module (ECM) operates only the IAC valve to perform idle-up and provide feedback for the target idling speed.
The ECM regulates the idle speed by opening and closing the throttle valve using the ETCS. The ECM concludes that the idle speed control ECM function is malfunctioning and set the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) if:
1. The actual idle RPM varies more than the specified amount five times or more during a drive cycle
2. The learning value of the idle speed control remains at the maximum or minimum five times or more during a drive cycle.
Example: If the actual idle RPM varies from the target idle RPM by more than 200* rpm five times during a drive cycle, the ECM will turn on the MIL and will set a DTC.
