SOURCE: 2006 Canyon 4cyl has extremely low idle.

Could be:

  • A vacuum leak
  • An air restriction in the intake air path or exhuast
  • A faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
  • Damaged/failed/dirty throttle body
  • Internal engine problem
  • Failed PCM (powertrain control module)
I say back to the shop if its a real problem, if at all to just clear the code to see if it comes back. That code is just an informational code. Just says what the car is doing :\ . My first guess would be a vacuum leak somewhere followed by a throttle body issue.

Testimonial: "This is a bit late but the problem was a very dirty throttle body. I cleaned it up and all systems go. Thanx, Tewksindahat"

There isn't one. There's two fuses for the turn signals. The flashing is controlled by the Body Control Module.
