IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE Whenever the battery cables, the engine control module

(ECM), or the ECM fuse is disconnected or replaced, the

following idle learn procedure must be performed:

1. Turn the ignition ON for 5 seconds.

2. Turn the ignition OFF for 5 seconds.

3. Turn the ignition ON for 5 seconds.

4. Start the engine in park/neutral.

5. Allow the engine to run until the engine coolant is

above 185° F (85°C ).

6. Turn the A/C ON for 10 seconds, if equipped.

7. Turn the A/C OFF for 10 seconds, if equipped.

8. If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transaxle,

apply the parking brake. While pressing the

brake pedal, place the transaxle in D (drive).

9. Turn the A/C ON for 10 seconds, if equipped.

10. Turn the A/C OFF for 10 seconds, if equipped.

11. Turn the ignition OFF. The idle learn procedure is

Why does a 1997 ford ranger V6 4.0 still idle rough for a few minutes until it warms up after changing mass air sensor?

If you had the battery disconnected then the computer has to relearn the optimum efficiency for everything that's going on. If you didn't disconnect the battery, then you should do that for about 30 minutes and clear the computer out so it can relearn with the new MAF sensor connected.


How do you reset the computer after placing a new battery in a 1997 Ford Taurus?

There is nothing to reset. You already reset the PCM back to factory settings when you disconnected the battery to replace it. Now you must drive the vehicle normally so it will relearn your driving habits, conditions you drive under, climate, etc.


Why does the auto transmission in my Honda Jazz need to be reset if the battery is disconnected?

When the battery is disconnected, the auto transmission control module may lose its stored data, including learning parameters that help the transmission adapt to driving habits and optimize performance. Resetting the transmission allows the vehicle to relearn these patterns and recalibrate its shifting behavior, ensuring smooth operation. This process can also clear any error codes that may have been stored during the battery disconnection.


How do you relearn 2004 Mitsubishi endeavor computer?

To relearn the computer for a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor, you can start by disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes to reset the system. After reconnecting the battery, drive the vehicle for a while to allow the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to recalibrate and relearn the engine parameters. You may also need to perform a series of drive cycles, including varied speeds and loads, to help the ECU adapt to the current engine conditions. If issues persist, consider using a diagnostic scanner to check for any fault codes that may need addressing.

How long can the battery be disconnected on a 2001 Mercury Mountaineer without disrupting the computer programs?

As soon as you take a battery cable off it will disrupt the computer program ( I understand that there is a item with a 9 volt battery in it that can be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket that maintains the programming ) You will not disrupt the programming, what happens is that learned items, such as engine idle characteristics radiao presets, and transmission shift patterns will be lost and will relearn on start up.


How do you reset the ECU on a Mitsubishi Lancer?

To reset the ECU on a Mitsubishi Lancer, disconnect the negative battery terminal and leave it disconnected for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the ECU to clear its memory and reset.
