      I wonder if there is a problem with one or more of the valves or the cam lobe, preventing you from keeping TDC?

          Is there an alignment hole on the cam shaft near cam sprocket? If so, stick a pin into it, and that should maintain your cam shaft alignment during belt install. The valve cover must be removed to see this.

              I hope this message gets around the country that E15 is going to cost $$ in car repairs, just to satisfy the Left’s desire to reduce the need of gasoline for our cars. What else is there that is cost effective to the average consumer? Nothing.

                  It was around 30% off retail from the dealership online.

                          Yes, I am confused too that Honda wants these tests done per their manual. Your absolutely correct in saying, ‘how does the PCM know you changed the belt?’ My guess they figure you might replace the PCM, for other reasons, or replace cam shafts or something like that. I have done the Idle Learn after removing the battery, which honestly I have no idea if that even did anything.

                              My wife wanted everything original, of course, so I ordered the Toyota antenna assy from the web, and it came with the connector- no splicing. Installed it. Time consuming to install but it’s done.

                                  I believe those are readiness codes. I checked the Engine Check light procedure in the service manual, chap. 11, to see if they where “complete” and they were. I do use an after market scanner too. The service manual tells you to reset all those parameters when using an after market scanner chap 11-4. I still have no idea what all these tests do.
