Top Makes and Models with DTC P0507

While not an urgent situation, code P0507—Idle Speed Too High, requires attention to avoid engine damage and poor performance. In particular, Dodge, Chevrolet, Nissan, Ford, and Volkswagen owners need to be aware of this potential problem. However, many other makes and models are vulnerable.

FIXD sensor data shows that the Dodge Grand Caravan, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and Nissan Altima are most affected by diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0507. These three vehicles have the highest recorded instances of a too-high idle speed. Keep in mind that data covers the 2000 through 2023 model years.

In addition, the Audi A4 and Volkswagen Jetta have elevated but moderate histories with code P0507. These two VW products share many components, so similar reports are unsurprising. 

Otherwise, the remaining instances of code P0507 are on the low side—take a victory when you can. It’s not unusual to see large automakers with extensive lineups, such as Chevrolet, Ford, and Nissan, make lists like these. After all, these companies have sold a lot of vehicles over the years, ranging from small economy cars to pickup trucks. The more automobiles a company puts on the road, the greater the chance of more issues.

However, some larger manufacturers are notably not the worst offenders in making P0507-prone vehicles. In particular, many Toyota and Honda cars have very low instances of code P0507 being captured by installed FIXD sensors. For example, the Toyota Camry and Honda Odyssey have zero reported occurrences of DTC P0507. 

Later, we’ll explore the top models most vulnerable to code P0507 and include a year-by-year breakdown by low, moderate, or high occurrence. 

What is Code P0507?

While there are worse DTCs than P0507—Idle Control System RPM Higher Than Expected, it’s not something to ignore for very long. Higher-than-normal engine RPMs during idle can lead to poor engine performance, lower fuel economy, and more air pollution in the short term. Over long periods, P0507 can cause damage to the engine and the catalytic converter. 

Whether you’ve already encountered a P0507 code or have a car vulnerable to this problem, you’ll want to review the in-depth article, P0507 Engine Code | Idle Speed Too High. You’ll find out if it’s OK to drive with this code (quick answer: yes, but not for very long), learn what causes this issue, how to diagnose the problem, and identify any DIY fixes.

Top Models for P0507 Codes 

Here’s a look at the makes and models most likely to have P0507 codes, according to FIXD sensor data. The absence of a model year ranking indicates no P0507 code was detected among the analyzed years, insufficient data, or the model wasn’t in production.
