IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE
Before starting engine, follow the "Idle Learn Procedure" as follows:
^ Install Tech 1 "Scan" tool.
^ Ignition "ON," engine "OFF."
^ Select "IAC SYSTEM," then "IDLE LEARN" in the "MISC TEST" mode.

This procedure allows the Electronic Control Module (ECM) memory to be updated with the correct Idle Air Control (IAC) valve pintle position for the vehicle and provides for a stable idle speed.
