Diagnosis & Repair

  1. Retrieve trouble codes. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES  under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If only DTC P0505 is displayed, go to next step. If other codes are displayed, diagnose and repair those codes first and retest.
  2. Check for loose, damaged or cracked air intake hose between throttle body and air cleaner. Check for loose or damaged dipstick, oil fill cap or PCV hose. Repair as necessary. If all components are okay, check throttle system control. See THROTTLE CONTROLS in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - GS300, IS300, GS430 & LS430 article. Repair as necessary.
