NOTE: The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced idle speeds until after the engine operates for 320 km (200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320 km (200 miles) of usage, update the mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the new PCM. Use the DRB scan tool to change the millage and VIN in the PCM. If this step is not done, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic Procedure and the DRB scan tool.
