IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE: Any time the battery is disconnected, the programmed position of the IAC valve pintle is lost, and replaced with a default value. To return the IAC valve pintle to the correct position, perform the following procedure:

1. After restoring battery power, connect the Tech 1 "SCAN" tool.
2. Select "IAC SYSTEM," then select "IDLE LEARN" in the "MISC TEST" mode.
3. Proceed with idle learn as directed.
^ This procedure allows the ECM memory to be updated with the correct IAC valve pintle position, for the vehicle, and provide a stable idle speed.
