After Programming a Control Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2003 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The powertrain may operate slightly different after a control module software/calibration update. Operating the powertrain through various driving conditions allows the control module to relearn certain values. The control module must relearn the following after a software/calibration update:
- Fuel trim correction
- Idle air control (IAC) learned position
- Automatic transmission shift adapts
Other learned values only relearn by performing a service procedure.
If a control module is replaced the following service procedures may need to be performed:
- The crankshaft variation learn procedure
- The engine oil life reset procedure
- The idle learn procedure
- The inspection/maintenance complete system set procedure
- The vehicle theft deterrent password learn procedure
- The throttle position (TP) sensor learn procedure
