Description
The engine Control Module (ECM) learns the idle position of the throttle body to enable the correct idle operation. Any time the ECM or the throttle body is replaced, the ECM must learn the idle position. The engine idle may be unstable or DTC's may set if the idle position is not learned.
Conditions for Running the Idle Learn Procedure
| • | DTCs P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0638, P2100, P2101, P2105, P2107, and P2119 are not set. |
