In this case, you must 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.
6.9 TPMS Relearn
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.

Injector Coding

Write injector actual code or rewrite code in the ECU to the injector code of the corresponding cylinder so as to more accurately control or correct cylinder injection quantity. After the ECU or injector is replaced, injector code
49 Premier Diagnostic Platform i80 II User’s Manual V1.0

of each cylinder must be confirmed or re-coded so that the cylinder can better identify injectors to accurately control fuel injection.
6.11 ABS Bleeding
Anytime the brake system is opened to replace components such as calipers, wheel cylinders, the master cylinder, or brake lines or hoses, air gets inside. The air has to be removed by bleeding the brakes if you want a firm brake pedal. Air trapped in the lines, calipers or wheel cylinders will make the pedal feel soft and spongy. Air is compressible, so when the brakes are applied any air bubbles in the system must first be compressed before the hydraulic fluid will transmit pressure to apply the brakes.
