Tried disconnecting the battery and it didn't work. The error is still there. it's a new code, P1628 which has to do with the DME prerun check of the throttle valves. that's where the relearn procedure is supposed to kick in.

How the hell does the car know the actuator has been changed anyway? Aren't the parts identical or do each have some unique fingerprint? If I swap the circuit board from the original actuator along with the gears from the new actuator i bought, would that trick the car into thinking the actuator hasn't been changed? Or do I have to do the stupid relearn procedure regardless?
