PCM Idle Learn Procedure: Procedure

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

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

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

  1. PCM Idle - Learn

    Procedure 

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

    2. Reset the PCM with the HDS 

    3. Press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode, and wait 2 seconds.

    4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.

    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.
