Learn Procedure (without the HDS)How to End a Troubleshooting Session
(required after any troubleshooting)
11-5
1. 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.
2. Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) from an engine speed
of 2,500 rpm down to 1,000 rpm with the A/T in
S in 1st or 2nd, or M/T in 1st.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) from an engine speed
of 5,000 rpm down to 3,000 rpm with the A/T in
S in 1st or 2nd, or M/T in 1st.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 several times.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 30 seconds. 1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
2. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page
11-310).
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC. NOTE: The ECM/PCM is part of the immobilizer
system. If you replace the ECM/PCM, it will have a
different immobilizer code. For the engine to start,
you must rewrite the immobilizer code with the
HDS.

13. Do the battery installation procedure (see page
22-69).
14. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). NOTE: DTC P0630 VIN Not Programmed or
Mismatch may be stored because the VIN has not
been programmed into the ECM/PCM; ignore it,
and continue this procedure.
15. Manually input the VIN to the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
16. Select the IMMOBI SYSTEM with the HDS.
17. Enter the immobilizer code that you got from the iN, or use the ECM/PCM replacement procedure in the
HDS; this allows you to start the engine.
18. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
19. If the TP POSITION CHECK failed in step 5, clean the throttle body (see page 11- 344).
20. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see page 11-227).
21. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
22. Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure. The OBD status shows the current system status of
each DTC and all of the parameters. This function is
used to see if the repair was successfully completed.
The results of diagnostic tests for the DTC are displayed
as:
 PASSED: The on board diagnosis is successfully finished.
 FAILED: The on board diagnosis has finished but failed.
 EXECUTING: The vehicle is in enable criteria conditions for the DTC and the on board diagnosis is
running.
 NOT COMPLETED: The on board diagnosis was running but is out of the enable conditions of the DTC.
 OUT OF CONDITION: The vehicle has stayed out of the enable conditions for the DTC.

System Description
The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the engine control module (ECM) on vehicles
with manual transmissions or the powertrain control module (PCM) on vehicles with automatic transmissions.
The ECM/PCM detects a failure of a signal from a sensor or another control unit and stores a Temporary DTC or a DTC.
Depending on the failure, a DTC is stored in either the first or the second drive cycle (K20Z3 engine: DTC P0457, turns
on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during the third drive cycle). When a DTC is stored, the ECM/PCM turns on the
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) by a signal sent to the gauge via F-CAN.  When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit, the ECM/PCM stores a DTC
and turns on the MIL immediately.
 When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit in the first drive cycle, the
ECM/PCM stores a Temporary DTC. If the failure continues in the second drive cycle, the ECM/PCM stores a DTC and
turns on the MIL.
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or another control unit, the ECM/PCM ignores the signal and
substitutes a pre-programmed value that allows the engine to continue running. This causes a DTC to be stored and
the MIL to come on.
When the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the ECM/PCM turns on the MIL via the F-CAN circuit for about 15 to
20 seconds to check the bulb condition. If any readiness codes are not set to complete, the MIL flashes five times. If all
readiness codes are set to complete, the MIL goes off.
After the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), the ECM/PCM stays on (about 30 minutes). If the ECM/PCM connector is
disconnected during this time, the ECM/PCM may be damaged. To cancel this mode, disconnect the negative cable
from the battery or jump the SCS line with the HDS after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0).
