I am replacing the throttle body in my car listed above it is the Titanium model and I have to do the relearn procedure. It has a push button ignition. This means I cannot turn on the battery without starting the car (like turning the key half way so it can learn the off position). Is there any additional procedure for push button ignition?

Push button once foot off brake brings on ignition. To my knowledge there is no re learn for this throttle body. PCM controls all settings. If there is a self learn it will be done automatically during the drive cycle.

Thanks, I am going to have to clear the PCM because the TPS was part of the problem. It has self learn, I was just concerned about getting the off value before the idle value.

The engine might stall a few times but drive it and it should be okay.

Cheers, Ken
