Hi everyone, as the title implies I'm wondering what the idle relearn procedure is for a 3.8 litre VY. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance, Gus

Fairly sure there is no set procedure as the IAC stepper resets itself on every start.

If you want to do a full reset, disconnect the battery for 1/2 and hour or so.

Thanks immortality, can you explain what a full reset would do? Are there any special things i need to do after a full reset like running with a/c on then off or reving to 3k after startup etc. Thanks Gus.

The PCM forgets all it's learnt information like fuel trims.

The idle reset only really applied to the earlier VN-VR V6 motors.
