The Idle Charge Actuator Valve(ICAV) 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 ICA valve is to maintain idle speed according to various engine loads and conditions, and also to provide additional air during starting. The ICA 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.
PCM sets DTC P1505 if the PCM detects that the ICAV(OPEN) control circuit is open or short to ground.

Connect scan tool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode.
Press F4(DTAL) to select DTC information from the DTCs menu.
Confirm that "DTC Readiness Flag" indicates "Complete". If not, drive the vehicle within conditions noted in the freeze frame data or enable conditions.
Read "DTC Status" parameter.
Is parameter displayed "History(Not Present) fault"?
History (Not Present) fault : DTC occurred but has been cleared.
Present fault : DTC is occurring at present time.
▶ Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or the PCM's connector, which was repaired but PCM memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.
Ignition "OFF".
Disconnect ICA valve connector.
Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 2 of the valve connector(Component side).

Is resistance within the specification?
▶ Go to next step as below.
▶ Check ICA for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good ICA and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ICA and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness(es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage.
Has a problem been found?
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to "Power Supply Circuit Inspection" procedure.
Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".
Measure voltage between terminal 2 of the valve harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification : Approx. B+
Is voltage within the specification?
▶ Go to "Signal Circuit Inspection" procedure.
▶ Check for an open or short to ground in the power supply circuit between the ICA valve and main relay. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
Check for open in signal harness.
Ignition "OFF".
Disconnect PCM connector.
Measure resistance between terminals 1 of the valve harness connector and 80 of the PCM harness connector.
