POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST (CONTINUED)

POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST 1

NOTE: 2. After completing the Powertrain Verification Test the Transmission Verification Test must be per-
formed.

NOTE: 3. If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC
will set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the SKIM/SKREEM.

NOTE: 4. If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Remote Entry, Secret Key data must be updated. Refer
to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM/SKREEM and the Transponder (ignition key) for programming
information.
5. Inspect the vehicle to make sure that all engine components are properly installed and connected.

6. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector and erase all codes.

7. Turn the speed control ON (if equipped, cruise light will be on).

8. Depress and release the SET Switch when the vehicle speed is greater than 35 MPH. The speed control should
engage and hold the selected speed.

9. Press and hold the RESUME/ACCEL Switch. The vehicle speed should increase by at least 2 MPH.

10. Press and hold the COAST switch. The vehicle speed should decrease.

11. Using caution, press and release the brake pedal. The speed control should disengage.

12. Bring the vehicle speed back up to 35 MPH.

13. Press the RESUME/ACCEL switch. The speed control should resume the previously set speed.

14. Hold down the SET switch. The vehicle should decelerate.

15. Make sure vehicle speed is greater than 35 mph and release the SET Switch. The vehicle should adjust and set
a new vehicle speed.

16. Press and release the CANCEL switch. The speed control should disengage.

17. Bring the vehicle speed back up above 35 mph and engage speed control.

18. Turn the Speed Control Off. (Cruise light will be off). The speed control should disengage.

NOTE: OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWING SPEED CONTROL SET.
20. If the vehicle operator repeatedly presses and releases the SET button with their foot off of the accelerator
(referred to as

lift foot set

), the vehicle may accelerate and exceed the desired set speed by up to 5 mph (8 km/h).

21. It may also decelerate to less than the desired set speed, before finally achieving the desired set speed.

22. The Speed Control System has an adaptive strategy that compensates for vehicle-to-vehicle variations in speed
control cable lengths.

23. When the speed control is set with the vehicles operators foot off of the accelerator pedal, the speed control
thinks there is excessive speed control cable slack and adapts accordingly.

24. If the

lift foot sets

are continually used, a speed control overshoot/undershoot condition will develop.

25. To

unlearn

the overshoot/undershoot condition, the vehicle operator has to press and release the set button

while maintaining the desired set speed using the accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerating).

26. Then turn the cruise control switch to the OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if equipped) after waiting
10 seconds.

27. This procedure must be performed approximately 10-15 times to completely unlearn the overshoot/undershoot
condition.

Did the Speed Control pass the above test?

Yes

>> Repair is complete.

>> Check for any related Technical Service Bulletins and/or refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Procedure.

Body Assembly has been replaced use a scan tool to perform the ETC RELEARN function.

NOTE: 2. After completing the Powertrain Verification Test the Transmission Verification Test must be per-
formed.

NOTE: 3. If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC
will set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the SKIM/SKREEM.

NOTE: 4. If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Remote Entry, Secret Key data must be updated. Refer
to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM/SKREEM and the Transponder (ignition key) for programming
information.
5. Inspect the vehicle to make sure that all components related to the repair are properly installed and connected.

6. With the scan tool, clear DTCs.

7. Perform generator output test. Refer to the appropriate service information as necessary.

8. Start the engine and set engine speed to 2000 RPM for at least thirty seconds.

9. Cycle the ignition key off and on.

10. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.

Are any DTCs or symptoms remaining?

Yes

>> Check for any Technical Service Bulletins and/or refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Procedure.

>> Repair is complete.

POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST 3

1. Install the Miller Tool #8404 Evaporative Emission Leak Detector (EELD) according to the instructions in the pre-
vious DTC table.

2. Set the smoke/air control switch to AIR.

3. Insert the tester’s AIR supply tip (clear hose) into the appropriate calibration orifice on the tester’s control panel
(based on DTC leak size).

4. Press the remote smoke/air start button.

5. Position the red flag on the air flow meter so it is aligned with the indicator ball.

6. When the calibration is complete, release the remote button. The EELD flow meter is now calibrated in liters per
minute to the size of leak indicated by the DTC set in the PCM.

7. Install the service port adapter #8404-14 on the vehicle’s service port.

8. Connect the Air supply hose from the EELD to the vehicle.

9. Press the remote button to activate AIR flow.

NOTE: 10. Larger volume fuel tanks, lower fuel levels or if the vehicle is equipped with a Flow Management
Valve may indicate high flow and will require 4 to 5 minutes to fill.
11. Compare the flow meter indicator ball reading to the red flag.

12. ABOVE the red flag indicates a leak present.

13. BELOW the red flag indicates a sealed system.

NOTE: If this vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control system, and the APP Sensors, PCM, or
Throttle Body Assembly have been replaced, use the scan tool to perform the ETC RELEARN function.
15. If the indicator ball shows a leak present, perform the smoke test indicated in the previous test and identify the
leak and repair. Perform this verification test when the repair is complete.

Did the indicator ball indicate the a leak is present?

Yes

>> Repeat the DTC test to identify the leak and repair.
