The PCM engine control strategy prevents reduced idle speeds until after the engine operates for 320 km (200 miles). If the PCM is replaced after 320
km (200 miles) of usage, update the mileage and vehicle identification number (VIN) in the new PCM. Use the DRBIII scan tool to change the millage
and VIN in the PCM. If this step is not done a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be set and SKIM must be done or car will not start if it is a SKIM
equipped car. If a SKIM car you must do a secret key transfer also. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain Diagnostic and the DRBIII scan tool.
