BODY CONTROLS

Vehicles equipped with body, air conditioning, anti-lock brake or memory computers may require a computer relearn procedure after components are replaced or the vehicle battery is disconnected. Vehicle computers memorize and store vehicle information and operation selections. When the vehicle battery is disconnected, vehicle computer memory may be lost, requiring relearning or resetting. Depending on the vehicle and how it is equipped, the following memories may exist

  1. Seat position.
  2. Tilt/telescoping steering wheel position.
  3. Mirror position.
  4. Radio presets and anti-theft code.
  5. Clock.
  6. Remote keyless entry custom features.
  7. Door key lock entry custom features.
  8. Power window or sunroof operation.

These do not affect vehicle operation. For systems that do not affect operation, see appropriate article for relearn procedures. Other computer relearn procedures are required for vehicle or system operation. These may include

  1. Initial control unit programming.
  2. Traction control yaw sensor initializing.
  3. Multiplex communication.
  4. Anti-theft system or engine immobilizer system passwords.

ENGINE CONTROLS

Vehicles equipped with powertrain control computers may require a computer relearn procedure after the vehicle battery is disconnected. Vehicle computers memorize and store vehicle operation patterns for optimum driveability and performance. When the vehicle battery is disconnected, this memory is lost, which may result in a driveability problem. Depending on the vehicle and how it is equipped, the following driveability problems may exist

  1. Rough or unstable idle.
  2. Hesitation or stumble.
  3. Rich or lean running.
  4. Poor fuel mileage.
  5. Harsh or poor transmission/transaxle shift quality.

Default data is used until NEW data from each key start is stored. As the computer restores its memory from each new key start, driveability is restored.

Driveability problems may occur during the computer relearn stage. To accelerate computer relearn process after battery removal and installation, specified computer relearn procedures should be performed. See appropriate procedures for specified manufacturer.
