Powertrain Verification Test VER-1
NOTE:
If replacing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module and Air Bag Control Module (ACM).
- Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected properly. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. Go to next step.
- Inspect engine oil for fuel contamination. Change engine oil and filter as necessary. Go to next step.
- If repair procedure included replacing PCM, go to next step. If repair procedure did not include replacing PCM, go to step 7.
- Ensure the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) are programmed into PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module and Air Bag Control Module (ACM). If vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), secret key data must be updated to enable start.
- For ABS and air bag systems, enter correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Erase any DTC in ABS and air bag modules.
- For SKIM theft alarm, using DRBIII®, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, then MISC. Place SKIM in secured access mode by using appropriate PIN code for this vehicle. Select UPDATE SECRET KEY DATA. Data will be transferred from SKIM to PCM.
- Attempt to start engine. If engine starts, repair is complete. If engine does not start, check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply. Go to appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom. If any DTC remain, proceed to appropriate DTC test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS .
