P1507 Idle Speed Control Actuator Signal Low of Coil #2

General Information

Component Location





General Description

The Idle Speed Control Actuator (ISCA) is installed on the intake manifold and controls the intake airflow that is bypassed around the throttle plate to keep constant engine speed when the throttle valve is closed. The function of the ISCA valve is to maintain idle speed according to various engine loads and conditions, and also to provide additional air during starting. The ISCA valve consists of an opening coil, a closing coil, and a permanent magnet. Based on information from various sensors, the PCM controls both coils by grounding their control circuits. According to the control signals from the PCM, the valve rotor rotates to control the by pass airflow into the engine.

DTC Description

PCM sets DTC P1507 if the PCM detects that the ISCAV (CLOSE) control line is open or short to ground.

Signal Waveform & Data




Fig.1) The above waveforms are the voltage signals generated when the ISCA operates. This ISCA is a duty type and the time opened determines the duty amount. The left side is the waveform of the ISCA Opening coil during idle.
The right side is the waveform of the ISCA Closing coil during idle.
