INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR THROTTLE
ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR

When the battery cable is disconnected and reconnected, throt-
tle actuator control motor valve (Fully closed position) is elimi-
nated, so that the throttle valve opening angle control would not
be performed correctly. When the battery cable is disconnected
and reconnected, initialize the throttle actuator control motor
using the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and then, place

the ignition switch in "LOCK" (OFF) position.

2. For 10 seconds or more, keep the ignition switch in "LOCK"

(OFF) position.

BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CALIBRATION
<2.4L ENGINE>

M1001018600154

PURPOSE

The ECM carries out the electrical generation control according
to the charge level of the battery, based on the battery current
sensor signal. To improve the effect of reducing the fuel con-
sumption by the electrical generation control, it is necessary to
accurately detect the charge level of the battery. For this, if the
following services are performed, carry out the battery current
sensor calibration.

• Replacing the battery current sensor

• Replacing the ECM

LEARNING PROCEDURE

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
1. After the ignition switch is in "LOCK" (OFF) position,

disconnect the battery cable from the negative battery
terminal.

2. Remove the battery current sensor from the battery cable

(Do not disconnect the battery current sensor connector).

3. Connect the battery cable without the battery current sensor

to the negative battery terminal.

SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

M1001011900433

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER
HANDLING.

1. Note the following before proceeding with working on the

electrical system.
Never perform unauthorized modifications to any electrical
device or wiring. Such modifications might lead to a vehicle
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could result in
a fire in the vehicle.

CAUTION

• Before connecting or disconnecting the negative bat-

tery cable, be sure to turn the ignition switch to the
"LOCK" (OFF) position and turn off the lights (If this is
not done, there is the possibility of semiconductor
parts being damaged).

• After completion of the work (and the negative battery

terminals is connected), warm up the engine and allow
it to idle for approximately 10 minutes under the condi-
tions described below in order to stabilize engine con-
trol conditions, and then check to be sure that the idle
is satisfactory.

• Engine coolant temperature: 85 − 95°C (185 − 203°F)
• Lights and all accessories: OFF
• Transaxle: "P" position
• Steering wheel: straight-forward position

2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the

negative cable terminal from the battery.
