PCM Idle Learn Procedure: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, lights, etc.) are off.
  2. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
  3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.
  4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or until the engine coolant temperature reaches 194°F (90°C).
  5. Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fully closed.
    NOTE: If the radiator fan comes on, do not include its running time in the 5 minutes.
  6. Verify on the HDS data list that the idle learn procedure is complete.
