Not exactly sure on the origins of the following procedures...(All procedures below were found at various unknown online resources).


ECU Resetting Procedure

1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch "ON" and wait 3 seconds.
2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.
2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).
2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.
4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)
5. Wait about 10 second.
6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.
7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).
8. Turn ignition switch to "OFF" position and now you can start the car. The CEL light should be gone.

If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps.

--------------------------------------------

Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning

1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch "ON" and wait at least 2 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch "OFF" wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch "ON" and wait at least 2 seconds.

1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.
2. Turn ignition switch is "ON".
3. Turn ignition switch is "OFF" wait at least 10 seconds.
Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by confirming the operating sound.

--------------------------------------------

Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning)

Operation Procedures
1. Perform Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning.
2. Perform Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning.
3. DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES FOR PROPER OPERATING TEMPS
4. Turn ignition switch "OFF" and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Conform that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch "ON" and wait 3 seconds.
6. Repeat the following (steps 7a, 7b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.
7a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD)
7b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
8. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20 seconds until the Check Engine Light (CEL) stops blinking and turned ON.
9. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the CEL is ON.
10.START YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN THE 3 SECONDS OF STEP 9.
11. Wait 20 seconds.
12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure the idle speed and ignition timing are within the specifications.

--------------------------------------------

Airbag SRS Light Reset.

1. Turn ignition switch to the "ON" position (Do not start the vehicle).
2. All cluster lights will come on (Diagnostic Mode).
3. As soon as the Airbag light turns off, switch the car off. (Be sure to turn the ignition switch off before the airbag light starts flashing).
4. Repeat steps 1-3 (2) more times and the flashing light should stay off.
 
I have tried all these resets over and over and cannot get the CEL(Service Engine Soon On my 08) light to flash at all?
 
I think I remember reading someone else saying to release pedal and/or start the car In 2 seconds instead of 3 seconds. Are u using the Cd player as the timer? Sometimes it can be the stupidest little thing. Good luck

I cleaned the MAF sensor and still no luck with pedal dance until I cleared the "Service Engine Soon" light with a OB2 reader.
Then all the pedal dances worked. :good:

How did you clean your MAF sensor?

Its very easy to do and I read that it is recommended to do at every air filter change and one of the simplest things to do to increase MPG's.
Just unplug the sensor housing remove the two 10mm bolts holding the sensor housing in and spray sensors inside of housing with CRC MAF Sensor Cleaner. Do not use throttle body cleaner or any other cleaners the CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor spray cleaner is safe for plastic and evapraotes completely residue free.Also DO NOT TOUCH SENSOR WIRES INSIDE OF SENSOR HOUSING!
see attached pictures for our sensor location and see video for procedure....
