DTC P050A: Cold Start Idle Air Control System Performance: Procedure
- CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P050A)
- Connect a Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus:
- Techstream - Select: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
- Read DTCs.
Result
Display (DTC Output) Proceed To P050A A P050A and other DTCs B HINT:
If any DTCs other than P050A are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
B → See step 17
A: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FUEL TRIM)
HINT:
Calculate the total fuel trim values to check the characteristic deviation of the mass air flow meter.
- Connect a Techstream to the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / Short FT #1 and Long FT #1.
- Read the values displayed on the Techstream while the engine is idling.
- Add together the Short FT #1 and Long FT #1 values to obtain the total Fuel Trim.
OK
Total of Short FT #1 and Long FT #1 values is between -20% and 20%.

.
OK
No leak from the air induction system.
NG → See step 13
OK: Go to next step
- Check the air induction system for vacuum leaks. Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION - Step 2
.
- CHECK AIR CLEANER FILTER ELEMENT SUB-ASSEMBLY
- Visually check that the air cleaner filter element is not excessively contaminated with dirt or oil.
OK
The air cleaner filter element is not excessively contaminated with dirt or oil.
NG → See step 14
OK: Go to next step
- Visually check that the air cleaner filter element is not excessively contaminated with dirt or oil.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (OPERATE OCV)
- Connect a Techstream to the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the VVT System (Bank 1).
- Check the engine speed while operating the OCV using the Techstream.
OK
Tester Operations Specified Conditions OCV OFF Normal engine speed OCV ON Engine idles roughly or stalls
(soon after OCV switched from OFF to ON)
NG → See step 15
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW METER
- Replace mass air flow meter. Refer to REMOVAL .
NEXT → See step 16
