I have replaced the throttle body and it says it is not learned on my code reader. I am having trouble with finding a relearn process that works. Help me please, lol.

Good afternoon,

Below is the procedure for the idle relearn procedure for the throttle body.

Roy

IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE

DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) learns the idle position of the throttle body to ensure the correct idle operation. Anytime the ECM or the throttle body is replaced, the ECM must learn the idle position. The engine idle may be unstable or a DTC may set if the idle position is not learned.

CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE
- DTCs P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0638, P2100, P2101, P2105, P2107, and P2119 are not set.
- The engine speed is less than 40 RPM.
- The vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).
- The accelerator pedal position is less than 14.9 percent.
- The ignition 1 voltage is more than 10 volts.
- The engine coolant temperature is between 5-60°C (41 -140°F).
- The intake air temperature is between 5-60°C (41-140°F).

IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT:
- Ensure the above conditions are met before proceeding with this procedure.
- Do not perform this procedure if a TP sensor or other TAC system DTCs are set other than P2176. The ECM will not perform the idle learn procedure with a DTC set.

1. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF for 60 seconds.
3. Turn OFF the ignition.
4. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
5. Clear the DTCs with a scan tool.

Hi Roy I tried the process didnt work. I ran my code reader and it says p0122 throttle/pedal position sensor A circuit low input - p0222 throttle/pedal position sensor switch B circuit low input I think it has to do with why my throttle body isnt relearning if I replace the pedal sensor would this help. Any suggestions? I live in bfe and cant get this car to a shop without towing it. Thanks for your time
