    Necessary Procedures Procedure Details Effects/Inoperative Functions When Necessary Procedures are not Performed Notes
    Navigation system initialization After turning the ignition switch on (IG), insert the map disc. Navigation system If the map disc is inside when disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal, this procedure is not necessary
    NOTE: After the ignition switch is turned OFF, the navigation system requires approximately 90 seconds to record various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the ignition switch OFF, wait 90 seconds or more before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

  3. DESCRIPTION 

    HINT:

    This registration section consists of two parts: Read VIN and Write VIN.

    1. Read VIN: Explains the VIN reading process in a flowchart. This process allows the VIN stored in the ECM to be read in order to confirm that the two VINs, provided with the vehicle and stored in the vehicle's ECM, are the same.
    2. Write VIN: Explains the VIN writing process in a flowchart. This process allows the VIN to be input into the ECM. If the ECM is changed, or the ECM VIN and vehicle VIN do not match, the VIN can be registered, or overwritten in the ECM by following this procedure.
  4. READ VIN 
    1. Confirm the vehicle VIN.
    2. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    4. Turn the tester ON.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Utility/VIN/VIN Read.
  5. WRITE VIN 
    1. Confirm the vehicle VIN.
    2. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    4. Turn the tester ON.
    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Utility/VIN/VIN Write.
  6. RESET MEMORY 
    NOTE:
    • Perform the RESET MEMORY (AT initialization) when replacing the automatic transmission assembly, engine assembly or ECM.
    • The RESET MEMORY can be performed only with the Techstream.

    HINT:

    The ECM memorizes the control conditions of the automatic transmission assembly and engine assembly. Therefore, when the automatic transmission assembly, engine assembly, or ECM has been replaced, it is necessary to reset the memory so that the ECM can memorize the new information. Reset procedure is as follows.

    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the tester switch ON.
    3. Enter the following menus:
      1. Select: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Utility/Reset Memory.
        NOTE: After performing the RESET MEMORY, be sure to perform the ROAD TEST described earlier.

        HINT:

        The ECM learns through the ROAD TEST.

  7. DESCRIPTION OF CODE REGISTRATION 

    It is necessary to register the transmitter ID in the tire pressure warning ECU when replacing the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter and/or tire pressure warning ECU.

    Prepare all transmitter ID data before starting registration.

    1. Before registration
      1. In case of tire pressure warning ECU replacement:
        • Read the registered transmitter IDs that are stored in the old ECU using the Techstream and note them down.
        • If reading stored transmitter IDs is impossible due to malfunctions of components such as the tire pressure warning antenna and receiver, remove the tires from the wheels and check the IDs located on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
      2. In case of tire pressure warning valve and transmitter replacement: Take a note of the 8 digit number (transmitter ID) written on the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
