Fuel System/Misfire Monitor Verification Test

  1. If any existing DTCs have not been repaired, go to the appropriate SYMPTOM LIST and follow the path specified.
  2. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.
  3. Connect the DRBIII® to the data link connector.
  4. Ensure the fuel tank has at least a quarter tank of fuel. Turn off all accessories.
  5. If the PCM was not replaced, skip steps 6 and 7 and continue the verification.
  6. If the PCM was replaced, the correct VIN and mileage must be programmed or a DTC will set in the ABS and Air Bag modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable start.
  7. For SKIM theft alarm: Connect DRBIII® to data link connector. Go to THEFT ALARM, SKIM , Misc. and place SKIM in secured access mode by using the appropriate PIN code for this vehicle. Select Update the Secret Key data. Data will be transferred from SKIM to PCM.
  8. Make sure that Misfire detection is enabled if you repaired a Misfire DTC. Low fuel level or an unlearned Adaptive Numerator can disable the Misfire monitor.
  9. If the PCM has been replaced or disconnected during testing, the Adaptive Numerator must be relearned in order for the Misfire Monitor to run.
  10. With the DRB III®, monitor the Similar Conditions to attempt to duplicate the conditions that the vehicle was operating at when the DTC was set.
  11. If the conditions cannot be duplicated, with the DRBIII®, erase DTCs.

    1. Yes --> Check for any related Technical Service Bulletins and/or refer to the appropriate SYMPTOMS LIST (Diagnostic Procedure).
