Hi,

The relearn process requires a scan tool that can communicate with the electronic throttle control unit. From the scan tool, one would select ETC, relearn, and then enter.

I wish I had an easier answer, but that is right from the manual. The same procedure is applicable when replacing the accelerator pedal position sensor.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
