Steering Column Lock Actuator Module Parameter Reset (LS - Manual Transmission Only)
Note. Steering Column Lock (SCL) actuator will only allow communication with NGS tester after SCL has been activated. SCL can be activated 2 ways: open driver's door and DO NOT put key in ignition lock cylinder, or press a single button on key fob with ignition key removed from ignition lock cylinder. SCL actuator will stay activated for 30 minutes and reset procedure.
Remove ignition key from ignition lock cylinder. Close and open driver's door. Connect NGS tester and use service function card. Select SCLM, then ENTER SECURITY ACCESS. Wait 8 minutes for security access to be granted. Select PARAMETER RESET. Insert ignition key into ignition lock cylinder and turn ignition switch to RUN position. Select ICM, then select ENTER SECURITY ACCESS. Wait 10 minutes for security access to be granted. Select RESET SCLM PARAMETER. Disconnect NGS tester. Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Remove ignition key from ignition lock cylinder. Insert ignition key into ignition lock cylinder. Turn ignition switch to RUN position. Turn ignition switch to OFF position and remove ignition key from ignition lock cylinder.
Transaxle Fluid Life Interval Programming
- Transaxle fluid life interval programming must be performed if any of the following have been done: Battery voltage was disconnected from PCM before ignition switch was placed in LOCK position for a minimum of 30 seconds. EEPROM was reprogrammed. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced.
- Transaxle fluid life interval is calculated by the PCM. The PCM uses many engine parameters to determine the percentage of transaxle fluid life interval remaining before fluid should be changed.
- When PCM determines transaxle fluid should be changed, a signal is sent to the instrument cluster and warning light is displayed. If battery voltage was disconnected from PCM before ignition switch was placed in LOCK position for a minimum of 30 seconds, or PCM was replaced, transaxle fluid life interval must be reprogrammed or reset.
- To reprogram or reset transaxle fluid life interval to original interval set in the PCM, connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions and reprogram or reset transaxle fluid life interval back to the closest original interval index that was recorded on original PCM.
- If using DIC to reprogram or reset transaxle fluid life interval, depress INFO button on DIC to display TRANSAXLE FLUID LIFE. Depress and hold INFO RESET button on DIC until 100 percent TRANSAXLE FLUID LIFE LEFT is displayed on instrument panel. Release all buttons. The DIC can only reprogram or reset transaxle fluid life interval to 100 percent.
