Reset ECM after oxygen sensor replacement

Couple questions. First is the check engine light on? If it is on, then we need to check for codes.

Just clearing the codes will not solve any issue that is causing the light to turn on.

As for resetting the ECM, that is unlikely to fix the issue even if it relearns the throttle.

However, I am attaching the throttle relearn process below for you to try just in case I am missing something.

Please run through this and let us know what questions you have.

Thanks

In order to get the throttle to relearn you will need to clear all the codes. So, in order to clear this code, we will have to find out why it is still active/permanent.

Basically, this is telling us that the o2 sensor is not reading the correct or desired oxygen content. So, we need to find out if we have anything that would cause this issue and if not, we need to replace the sensor.

I see you replaced the upstream o2 sensor, so we need to check out the rest of this info.

Also, this may also point to the issue that is causing the idle issue. This may be a vacuum leak so here is a guide that will help with this:

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks

Okay. Just to be clear, you had no issue prior to changing just the o2 sensor and now you have this issue? If that is the case then yes, I agree that the ECM doesn't like the readings it is getting from this sensor, and I would change it again and go with an OEM just to be safe.

Sounds good. That code is telling you that the ECM is seeing that the heated o2 sensor is shorted to ground so I would suggest when you swap it back that you inspect the connector really well and look for corrosion or anything green growing on the metal pins. This would explain why you are getting these codes.

However, if this is not the issue then we are going to have to get a new post started to dig into this o2 sensor issue.

Basically this post started as an ECM reset and we have moved into an o2 sensor issue and others will not find the solution to an o2 sensor issue that they may have under this topic. We are not not only here to help you but when you solve this, you will help others when they read this.
