Powertrain Verification Test VER-5

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).
  1. Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. Go to next step.
  2. If any DTCs have not been diagnosed, perform appropriate diagnostic test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If all DTCs have been diagnosed and repaired, go to next step.
  3. Connect DRBIII® scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC), if not previously done. Go to next step.
  4. Ensure fuel tank is at least 1/4 full. Ensure all accessories are off. Go to next step.
  5. If repair procedure included replacing PCM, go to next step. If repair procedure did not include replacing PCM, go to step  9.
  6. If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) was replaced, 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). If vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), secret key data must be updated to enable start.
  7. For ABS and air bag systems, enter correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Erase any DTC in ABS and air bag modules.
  8. 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.
  9. If catalyst was replaced, using DRBIII®, select MISC menu option CATALYST REPLACED and press enter.
  10. If a comprehensive component DTC was repaired, perform steps  11 -  13 . If a major OBD-II monitor DTC was repaired, go to step  12.
  11. Turn ignition off for a minimum of 10 seconds. Restart vehicle and run for 2 minutes. Go to next step.
  12. Using DRBIII®, monitor appropriate pre-test enabling conditions until all conditions are met. Once the conditions have been met, switch screen to appropriate OBD-II monitor (audible beeps when monitor is running).
  13. If conditions cannot be duplicated, erase all DTCs. If another DTC has set, proceed to appropriate DTC test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If the OBD-II monitor ran successfully and the good trip counter changed to one or more, repair is complete. If the OBD-II monitor did not run successfully and/or the good trip counter did not change to one or more, check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that apply to symptom. Go to appropriate TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom.
