  1. PRECONDITIONING 

    Check that all of the following conditions are satisfied.

    Learning will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are missed for even a moment.

    • Battery voltage: More than 12.9 V (At idle)
    • Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 100 deg.C (158 - 212 deg.F)
    • Selector lever position: P or N
    • Electric load switch: OFF

      (Air conditioner, head lamp, rear window defogger)

      On vehicles equipped with daytime light systems, if the parking brake is applied before the engine is started the head lamp will not illuminate.

    • Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position)
    • Vehicle speed: Stopped
    • Transmission: Warmed-up
      • With CONSULT: Drive vehicle until "ATF TEMP SEN" in "DATA MONITOR" mode of "CVT" system indicates less than 0.9 V.
      • Without CONSULT: Drive vehicle for 10 minutes.

    GO TO 2.

  2. PERFORM IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING 

    SYMBOL With CONSULT

    1. Perform Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning. Refer to Description .
    2. Perform Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning. Refer to Description .
    3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
    4. Select "IDLE AIR VOL LEARN" in "WORK SUPPORT" mode.
    5. Touch "START" and wait 20 seconds.

    Is "CMPLT" displayed on CONSULT screen?

    YES

    GO TO 3.

    NO

    GO TO 4.

  3. CHECK IDLE SPEED AND IGNITION TIMING 

    Rev up the engine 2 or 3 times and check that idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications.

    For procedure, refer to Work Procedure and Work Procedure .

    For specifications, refer to Idle Speed and Ignition Timing .

    It is useful to perform "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE". Refer to Component Function Check .

    If any of the following conditions occur after the engine has started, eliminate the cause of the incident and perform Idle Air Volume Learning again:

    • Engine stalls.
    • Incorrect idle.
