    NOTE:
    • Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto ETC module. Instead, use a lint-free cloth moistened by cleaning fluid.
    • Be careful not to clean off the coating fluid around the shaft. If coating fluid is removed, idling control failure may occur from inflow of foreign substances or excessive air leakage.
  4. After cleaning, reinstall the ETC module and then perform the ETC module learning procedure.
