INITIALIZATION
1. RESET MEMORY
NOTICE:
- Perform the RESET MEMORY procedures (A/T initialization) when replacing the automatic transaxle assembly, engine assembly or ECM.
- RESET MEMORY can be performed only with the intelligent tester.
HINT: The ECM memorizes the vehicle conditions when the ECT controls the automatic transaxle assembly and engine assembly Therefore, when the automatic transaxle assembly, engine assembly, or ECM has been replaced, it is necessary to reset the memory so that the ECM can memorize the new information. The reset procedures are as follows.
a. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
b. Connect the intelligent tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
c. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
d. Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS ENHANCED OBD II.
e. Perform the reset memory procedures from the Engine menu.
CAUTION: After performing the RESET MEMORY procedures, be sure to perform the ROAD TEST as described earlier. Road Test
HINT: The ECM learns through the ROAD TEST.
