1. When the ABS contains air, the ABS bleeding function must be performed to
bleed the brake system to restore ABS brake sensitivity.

1. After the tire pressure MIL turns on and maintenance is performed, the tire
pressure resetting function must be performed to reset tire pressure and turn
off the tire pressure MIL.
2. Tire pressure resetting must be performed after maintenance is performed in
the following cases: tire pressure is too low, tire leaks, tire pressure
monitoring device is replaced or installed, tire is replaced, tire pressure sensor
is damaged, and tire is replaced for the car with tire pressure monitoring

6.6 Gear Learning
The crankshaft position sensor learns crankshaft tooth machining tolerance and
saves to the computer to more accurately diagnose engine misfires. If tooth
learning is not performed for a car equipped with Delphi engine, the MIL turns on

not learned'. In this case, you must use the diagnostic device to perform tooth
learning for the car. After tooth learning is successful, the MIL turns off.
After the engine ECU, crankshaft position sensor, or crankshaft flywheel is
replaced, or the DTC 'tooth not learned' is present, tooth learning must be
performed.
