In my experience I plug my code reader in. get fault code and google it.. I have always in the past had a good idea of what the fault is due to the code and fixed many things on various cars in this manner..
My point is the ECU should not need to "learn" it has a new part but you reset the fault code and then see if it comes back.
The way vauxhall cars work is that even if it logs the fault once it will then show this for the next 8 engine starts. If no fault in that time it will clear the light but the fault code remains in the cars ecu. (I own a vectra and do all my own work so stuff I have learnt)
Does it have an engine management light on?
If your mechanic has an OBD code reader ask for the code and look it up.

Lord,
Grant me the WD-40 to move those things that are stuck, the Duck tape to fasten those things that are loose, And the wisdom to know the difference.
Amen
