Note:
After function 04 is called up, the Engine Control
Module (ECM) carries out the following
operations:

Constant ignition timing point of 12 BTDC is
output in idle.

Digital idle speed control is blocked.
Evaporative emissions canister purge regulator
valve is closed.
A/C compressor is switched off.
EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve is
closed
No coolant temperature correction-fixed value
of 80 C (176 F)

Learning values are relearned (idle and CO
content are adjusted automatically)
