REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

CAUTION:
- When replacing the engine control module (ECM), do not replace the immobilizer-ECU (WCM) or KOS-ECU at the same time with ECM. When replacing multiple ECUs, always replace only one ECU at a time and complete necessary ID registration using the scan tool.
- After the engine control module (ECM) replacement, idling speed may be unstable because the MFI engine learning is not completed. To make it stable, let the system learn the idling.
- After the engine control module (ECM) replacement, register a key code using the scan tool.
- When the engine control module (ECM) is replaced, save the vehicle identification number and perform the variant coding.
- When the engine control module (ECM) is replaced, the initial learning value of timing chain elongation amount must be stored and written by using the scan tool.
