Fuel the Vehicle
Make sure the No. 16 BACK UP (10 A) fuse is installed
before
filling up the fuel tank (see Install the Fuses). If you do it
without it installed, the fuel gauge will take much longer than normal to show an accurate reading.
If this happens, and you do not want to wait for the gauge to show the correct level, turn the power system to OFF and
let the vehicle sit for
10 minutes
. Install the fuse, then turn the power system to ON. The fuel gauge will show the
correct level.

Do the PCM Idle Learn Procedure
To ensure a steady engine idle, do the PCM idle learn procedure as follows after installing the No. 16 BACK UP
(10 A) fuse.
NOTE
The PCM idle learn procedure must also be done after updating or replacing the PCM. It does not need to be done after
clearing DTCs.
14.1. Start the engine with the transmission in Park, and make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio unit, rear window
defogger, lights, etc.) are turned off.
14.2. Put the vehicle in Sport Mode by pressing the SPORT button on the SBW shifter. This will force the engine to run.
Wait for the engine to reach operating temperature (the cooling fans cycle twice).
14.3. Let the engine idle for
10 minutes
with the throttle fully closed.
14.4. Turn the ignition to OFF.
15.
Charge the High-Voltage Battery
The gauge on the left side of the instrument panel shows the high-voltage battery charge level. If it reads less than one
third full, you must charge the battery before delivering the vehicle or putting it into storage.
To charge the battery, apply the brake pedal and press the POWER button while in Park. After you see
Ready to Drive
in the MID, press the accelerator pedal for at least
10 seconds
. The engine speed will increase and the battery will
charge. Continue the idling charge until the engine stops. At that time, the high-voltage battery will be sufficiently
charged.
If the vehicle is left unattended for a long time, the high-voltage battery’s service life will be affected. For those vehicles,
carry out idling charges by running the engine once every
3 months
for about
30 minutes
.
