ECM Idle Learn Procedure

The idle learn procedure must be done so the ECM can learn the engine idle characteristics.

Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of these actions:


NOTE: Erasing DTCs with the HDS does not require you to do the idle learn procedure.

Procedure


1.Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, lights, etc.) are off.

2.Reset the ECM with the HDS.

3.Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.

4.Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm (min-1) without load (in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or until the engine coolant temperature reaches 90 °C (194 °F).

5.Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fully closed.

NOTE: If the radiator fan comes on, do not include its running time in the 5 minutes.

6.Verify the IDLE LEARN in the DATA LIST is completed with the HDS.
