The P1506 code sets when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects an engine idle speed that is greater than the desired RPM. The Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) valve assembly controls the engine idle speed and provides a dashpot function.

What causes IAC system overspeed error P1506?

PS the error code has always been “p1506 IAC system overspeed error”. A vacuum leak will also cause the “overspeed” error code. The only thing the computer knows is that there’s too much air getting into the engine and it’s causing it to idle too fast.
