After getting all clear on the diagnostics the Idle is searching between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm's and I cannot get it down. Where do I start as I found that the lights dim with brake light and flickers stop flicking.
Thank you,
Donald

How was it before you cleared the codes? It could be learning its adaptation which you will just need to drive it for if everything was okay before you cleared the codes. Lets rerun the codes to see what comes up. Here is a guide:

This guide can help as well.
