Hey so I recently threw a code for my active grille shutter and had to replace the actuator and shutter itself. Now that it's replaced the vehicle is telling me to initialize the new grille shutter. Do I need Toyotas computer to initialize the new part or can I do this action myself? 2021 Toyota Corolla hybrid.

Repair procedure says to set grille shutter into maintenance mode before replacing it, and then once it is replaced, it would self initialize.

Having already replaced it, if it has not self initialized, sounds like you may need TechStream or dealer to complete the initialization...

This car has been awesome to drive. Slight gas mileage drop over the years (down from 52ish to 48ish) I just got over 250000 miles changed the breaks once and just did all 4 shocks more as preventative maintenance rather than need. Oil change once a month and with how much I drive tires every 6 to 8 months. Car has treated me well and hope to hit a million miles before I am done!!
