Default Idle Relearn

I just had my fuel pump replaced due to a P0300 code ( what a nightmare). The car is still acting like there is low fuel pressure. It was suggested to do an idle relearn. How do I go about doing this? Thank you in advance for all the tips.

Last night I disconnected the battery for 5 minutes to do my relearn. It stalled as it was supposed to, but I am still waiting for the idle to settle in drive. I do something wrong or does it take a little while for the relearn to complete?

Conditions for Running the Throttle Learn Procedure

• DTCs P0101, P0102, P0103, P0107, P0108, P0111, P0112, P0113, P0506, and P0507 are not set.

• The engine speed is between 450-4,000 RPM.
• The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) is greater than 5 kPa.
• The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 2 g/s.
• The ignition 1 voltage is greater than 10 volts.

Throttle Learn


Important: Do NOT perform this procedure if DTCs are set. Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle.

1. Start and idle the engine in PARK for 3 minutes.
2. With a scan tool, monitor desired and actual RPM.
3. The ECM will start to learn the new idle cells and Desired RPM should start to decrease.
4. Ignition OFF for 60 seconds.
5. Start and idle the engine in PARK for 3 minutes.
6. After the 3 minute run time the engine should be idling normal.

Important: During the drive cycle the check engine light may come on with idle speed DTCs. If idle speed codes are set, clear codes so the ECM can continue to learn. �� If the engine idle speed has not been learned the vehicle will need to be driven at speeds above 70 km/h (44 mph) with several decelerations and extended idles.

7. After the drive cycle, the engine should be idling normally.

If the engine idle speed has not been learned, turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds

and repeat step 6.

8. Once the engine speed has returned to normal, clear DTCs.

In other words, I need to bring it back to the dealer to get everything set.
