Powertrain Verification Test VER-2
- Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.
- If this verification procedure is being performed after a NO TROUBLE CODE repair, perform steps 3 and 4 .
- Check to see if the initial symptom still exists. If there are no trouble codes or the symptom no longer exists, the repair was successful and testing is complete.
- If the initial or another symptom exists, the repair is not complete. Check all technical service bulletins or flash updates and return to symptoms if necessary.
- If this verification procedure is being performed after a DTC repair, perform steps 6 - 13 .
- Connect the DRBIII(R) to the data link connector. Using the DRBIII(R) erase any diagnostic trouble codes and reset all values.
- If the PCM was not replaced, skip steps 8 - 10 and continue with the verification.
- 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 System (SKIS), Secret Key data must be updated to enable start.
- For ABS and Air Bag systems: Enter correct VIN and mileage in the PCM. Erase codes in ABS and air bag modules.
- For SKIM theft alarm: Connect DRBIII(R) 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.
- Road test the vehicle. If the test is for an A/C DTC, ensure it is operating during the following test.
- Drive the vehicle for at least 5 minutes at or around 40 MPH (64 KMH). Ensure the transmission shifts through all gears. At some point stop the vehicle and turn off the engine for at least 10 seconds.
- With the DRBIII(R), read DTC's.
- If there are any DTC's present, check for any related TSB's and/or to the appropriate diagnostic procedure. If no DTC's are present repair is complete.
