Nissan-Infinity P0507: Idle Re-Learn after cleaning throttle body (THINKTOOL PROS)

It's a Nissan thing.
The P0507 code appears when the ECM is unable to self-learn the proper idle after a service such as throttle body cleaning.
The "Idle Air Volume Learn" procedure must be performed using a bidirectional scan tool.
In this case I try out the new THINKTOOL PROS (Launch-based software) with great results :)

Ivan, I feel like I'm in excellent company. I bought a Thinktool Pros last week! First thing I did was a cam/crank correlation. Nice. Still, it isn't cheap and I saved for years thinking Autel or Launch would get my money. I got wind of these at just the right time and liked the ruggedness and warranty. Knowing it's basically Launch software I pulled the trigger. I do all the work on 4 cars + a few others from time to time. Hoping the investment pays for itself in money and time saved. Can't tell you how grateful I am for your videos and other "elite" masters like you. You guys help make the world a better place. Thank you!!!

Honestly the tools you use only compliment your knowledge and skill. You have an amazing skill set and vast knowledge of vehicle theory of operation.

[@andrewmarkland9411]

Slickly done Ivan. Disappointed we didn't get to look under the hood though! No parts required, naturally...

[@captainhgreen]

Computers are narrow minded sometimes. Looked like a simple procedure to fix the idle. Thanks Ivan

[@bige9830]

Not anymore. Current Nissan Systems make up their own codes.Their learning.

[@mitchharrison435]

Ivan, I took your recommendation and purchased ThinkTool Pros. I there a secret to using the rear camera of I'm I just missing it. Thanks. BTW, I really enjoy your diagnostic approach and no part fixes. Keep the videos coming.

[@tinkerwest]

Many times I've come across the same situation (Nissan's, GM's, etc.) but found myself helpless with the Snap-On VIRUS. Glad to say it won't happen again... Thanks for the "April code" on Amazon and for saving me $150.00...🙂👍

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Yup Snap-On doesn't like relearning idle on Nissans for some reason lol

[@tinkerwest]

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Yep, Gm's neither, and the reason I had stopped cleaning throttle bodies because of high idle complications afterward.

[@mkilptrick]

Another fine video. Thanks Ivan.

[@DIYDaveOK]

The "ThinkTool/ThinkDiag" folks put out some good stuff. I've got the DIY ThinkDiag and it is now my primary scan tool, and installed (hacked) the software onto my tablet, so I have a "poor man's" tablet-style scanner. Thanks as always, Ivan!

[@dawiehechter5159]

Hi Ivan Can you Please do a tool review on the thinktool pro.

[@bige9830]

IAVL Or idle air volume learn. Needs to be performed. Because the carbon was removed from the throttle body now there's extra air going in . Now that's assuming the computer will even allow you to do it. Early Nissan models for whatever reason do not like setting IAVL. I had to change out ECM and throttle bodies to get that to set. And the older altima, they even had a recall to try and fix that . which it never did.

[@fastwalker21]

I cleaned both throttle bodies and butterfly position reset and idle relearn on 2012 G37 with 80K. Did not disconnect the wiring harnesses. Quit a bit of timing and footwork but the ecu set everything perfectly. Your tool is great for a professional but it can be done "manually" if one has some auto savvy. I did not have a code but idle was slightly high before cleaning. I would hate to see what the dealers charges for the cleaning and relearn... Throttle seemed a little more crisp.

[@NoRogeR]

Yep indeed you can do it manually without the tool but it's a pain

"Stop telling me I have to calm down!" Is that a song on the radio, or the idle circuit?

[@jamespn]

Might be a good idea to disconnect the battery before changing spark plugs or cleaning a throttle body or MAF sensor. I even disconnect the battery on my Nissan Pathfinder when bleeding brakes.

[@reecenewton3097]

When I cleaned the throttle body on my 2011 Grand Caravan, I was very careful to unplug it, remove it from the car, and to clean it thoroughly with T. B. Cleaner, clean cloths, and swabs. I was careful not to allow the throttle plate to move and thus not disturb the alignment. I was able to get the perimeter of the throttle plate clean with swabs and careful spraying. All back together, idle was spec and it worked as it should.

[@Oneill5491]

I've always wondered how you liked your launch scanner. You're one of the few KZbin mechanics to use Launch over Autel and now this one which I've never seen before.

[@robertmedina6875]

I have the Thinktool Pro I purchased on Amazon. I bought it through Ediag . That seller has answered all of my questions and given me great support . The tool is very fast like Ivan says. It does marry Ford modules. I left a review on Amazon under name Funky Cold....

I recently got the ThinkScan 609 and it was nothing but problems out of the gate. My first step was to update. Failed with serial communications error (more than one computer). OK, let's try that nifty thumb drive that came with it. Nope, serial number not recognized. So after many back and forth emails, it finally updated. But in the process, I found that ThinkCar and LAUNCH share a common update tool and registration database, perhaps even more. But at one point they said they couldn't verify my device was one of theirs (despite sending a picture of it). Overall, not impressed with the company but the little scanner for around $100 isn't bad. When I asked why it couldn't be updated via USB, their response was that the update program hadn't been updated for USB updates yet. And oddly enough, it's called the "Product Updata" tool. I believe that's the Chinese translation. I'm not ready to invest more money in a company that's apparently selling beta software.

[@thinkcartool3825]

T609 need to update via computer and may spend some little time.Normal,selle will help you fix it if you send serial number. Thinkscan Max and Thinktool Pro support online quick update via WIFI.

[@ryans413]

My car was doing this once the idle was stuck at 2000 rpms not drivable like that. It ended up being two things causing it a bad TPS and MAF both causing issues Idle Air Control was okay but the MAF was reading wrong and keeping the IAC open and TPS wasn’t reading right either so sometimes on acceleration car just stall cause computer could not see throttle input and the wrong MAF readings just screwed everything up

I had an 02 Altima 3.5 I finally gave up on. Verus, MaxiDas, Diagun, nothing would do it. I looked like an idiot to the customer. I don’t know where they took it. I think the dealer. But I won’t b cleaning or disconnecting the throttle body on that car again. If the Stink will do that, I’m buying one. Nissans r a pain for some things.

[@misterhandy5121]

Ivan, Launch based software meaning same software? same company ? or do you recommend one over the other? I have the Diagun

[@RobertHancock1]

It seems like there is some relationship between Launch and ThinkCar but it's not clear exactly what. Certainly ThinkCar seems more focused on actually selling products in North America, Launch has been kind of a disaster in terms of customer service at times.

Ivan, not sure about I35, but on G35, you must disconnect the negative battery terminal before cleaning the throttle body. Otherwise you have to do the Idle Re Learn foot dance procedure as shown on the web.

I have followed that method on my G35S and still had to do idle re-learn. It'll be easy next time though, I bought a Thinktool Pros last week!!!

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

@@bigfoot9445 I think also, if you had a lot of deposits that were removed, the airflow at idle would have changed. I have gone so far as using a wire and polishing both sides of the thottle body.
