- Install scan tool and start engine. Operate engine until Engine Coolant Temperature (ETC) is greater than 170°F (77°C). Clear all DTCs. With key on and engine off, hold accelerator pedal in wide open throttle position for a minimum of 45 seconds. Turn ignition off for 30 seconds.
- Start engine. Verify with scan tool that TDC offset has been cleared to zero. If not, repeat previous step. As soon as ECT is greater than 170°F (77°C) and engine speed is less than 1500 RPM, PCM will automatically learn new offset. New offset should be -0.25 to -0.75. If not, see TDC OFFSET ADJUSTMENT (TURBO/EFI) .
