Powertrain Verification Test - Ver 2

POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-2

Applicability - All

1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.

2. If this verification procedure is being performed after a NO TROUBLE CODE repair, perform steps 3 and 4.

3. 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.

4. If the initial symptom or another symptom exists, the repair is not complete. Check all Technical Service Bulletins or flash updates and return to Symptoms, if necessary.

5. If this verification procedure is being performed after a TROUBLE CODE repair, perform steps 6 through 11.

6. Connect the DRB III to the Data Link Connector. Using the DRB III, erase any diagnostic trouble codes and reset all values.

7. If the PCM has been replaced, perform steps 8 through 10, then proceed with the verification. If the PCM has not been replaced, skip those steps and continue verification.

8. If the PCM has been replaced and correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in ABS and Airbag modules.

9. For ABS and Airbag systems: Enter correct VIN and Mileage in PCM. Erase codes in ABS and Airbag modules.

10. 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.

11. Drive the vehicle at least 64 km/h (40 mph). Ensure the transmission shifts through all gears. At some point stop the vehicle, turn off the engine for at least 10 seconds. When finished, read DTC's with the DRB III. If a DTC has set, return to Symptoms and follow path.

12. If the original DTC did not return and there are no new DTC's, the repair was successful and testing is complete.
