INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR THROTTLE 
ACTUATOR CONTROL MOTOR

When the battery cable is disconnected and reconnected, throt-
tle actuator control motor valve (Fully closed position) is elimi-
nated, so that the throttle valve opening angle control would not 
be performed correctly. When the battery cable is disconnected 
and reconnected, initialize the throttle actuator control motor 
using the following procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position and then, place 

the ignition switch in "LOCK" (OFF) position.

2. For 10 seconds or more, keep the ignition switch in "LOCK" 

(OFF) position.

BATTERY CURRENT SENSOR CALIBRATION 
<2.4L ENGINE>

M1001018600154

PURPOSE

The ECM carries out the electrical generation control according 
to the charge level of the battery, based on the battery current 
sensor signal. To improve the effect of reducing the fuel con-
sumption by the electrical generation control, it is necessary to 
accurately detect the charge level of the battery. For this, if the 
following services are performed, carry out the battery current 
sensor calibration.

• Replacing the battery current sensor

• Replacing the ECM

LEARNING PROCEDURE

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: M.U.T.-III USB Cable

• MB991910: M.U.T.-III Main Harness A

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
1. After the ignition switch is in "LOCK" (OFF) position, 

disconnect the battery cable from the negative battery 
terminal.

2. Remove the battery current sensor from the battery cable 

(Do not disconnect the battery current sensor connector).

3. Connect the battery cable without the battery current sensor 

to the negative battery terminal.

disconnect scan tool MB991958.

13.Install the battery current sensor.

SERVICING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

M1001011900433

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS AFTER 
HANDLING.

1. Note the following before proceeding with working on the 

electrical system. 
Never perform unauthorized modifications to any electrical 
device or wiring. Such modifications might lead to a vehicle 
malfunction, over-capacity or short-circuit that could result in 
a fire in the vehicle.

CAUTION

• Before connecting or disconnecting the negative bat-

tery cable, be sure to turn the ignition switch to the 
"LOCK" (OFF) position and turn off the lights (If this is 
not done, there is the possibility of semiconductor 
parts being damaged).

• After completion of the work (and the negative battery 

terminals is connected), warm up the engine and allow 
it to idle for approximately 10 minutes under the condi-
tions described below in order to stabilize engine con-
trol conditions, and then check to be sure that the idle 
is satisfactory.

• Engine coolant temperature: 85 − 95°C (185 − 203°F)
• Lights and all accessories: OFF
• Transaxle: "P" position 
• Steering wheel: straight-forward position

2. When servicing the electrical system, disconnect the 

negative cable terminal from the battery.
