Start engine, and hold it at 3000 RPM with no load (in Park or Neutral) until radiator fan comes on, or until engine coolant temperature reaches 194°F (90°C). Allow engine to idle for about 5 minutes with throttle fully closed and cooling fan not operating.

NOTE: If radiator cooling fan comes on, add the time the cooling fan is on to the 5 minute adaptive idle learn time.

On Insight and S2000, ensure all electrical loads (A/C, audio, rear defogger, lights, etc.) are turned off. Start engine, and hold it at 3000 RPM with no load (in Park or Neutral) until radiator fan comes on, or engine coolant temperature reaches 176-212°F (80-100°C).
