P0507 – Speed, idle or charging fault

Idle air control system RPM higher than expected

Idle, speed and cruise · generic OBD-II code

Check this first

Have the battery, charging and idle control checked – these codes often come with a rough idle.

What usually fixes it

In the order a good shop checks them. Typical total: $83–$1,125 at $130 an hour.

$83–$160

Clean the throttle body

Carbon build-up upsets idle speed.

$155–$445

Sensor or switch

Speed, brake and clutch switches sit in this group.

Charging faults set codes all over the vehicle.

This is the advice for this family of codes – Drive DTC doesn't have a page written for this exact code yet.

What the vehicle can tell you itself

A stored code is a headline, not the story. The vehicle also holds the conditions when it happened, how close the part is to the limit it fails at, what the fuel trims are doing, and whether the fault is still happening right now. Drive DTC reads all of it with a USB adapter and a Windows PC – and it can't change a single setting on the vehicle.
