If I put a new throttle body do I need to reprogramming?

Good evening,

Once you replace the throttle body the ETC electronic throttle control needs to be relearned.

It needs to be done with scan tool. I looked for a procedure without the scan tool but there is no procedure other than using a scan tool.

After installing, you should take it to a shop and have them do the procedure for you.

6. Tighten the bolts in a mandatory torque criss - cross pattern sequence to 7.5 Nm (65 in. Lbs.).
7. Install clean air hose and tighten clamps to 4 Nm (35 in. Lbs.).
8. Connect negative battery cable, tighten nut to 5 Nm (45 in. Lbs.).
9. Use a scan tool and perform the ETC RELEARN function.
