BODY VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1

APPLICABILITY

1. Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and
connectors.
2. Ensure that all accessories are turned off and the battery is fully charged.
3. NOTE: Refer to the service information for proper programming procedures if the
ABM; ACM; ATC; CTM; ECM; IC; SKREEM; SLA; or SSM was replaced.
4. If the SKREEM was replaced, program all RKE transmitters used with this vehicle.
5. NOTE: Perform the next 8 steps of this procedure if either diagnosing the
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) system or if repairs were made to the ATC
system. All of the following criteria must be met in order to successfully run the ATC
Function Test.
6. With DRBIII

t, record and erase ATC DTCs.

7. Place the shift lever in Park.
8. Start the engine. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
9. Set the blower to high speed.
10. Press the Air Conditioning switch On.
11. With the DRBIII

t, verify that the ambient temperature is above 59°F (15°C), the refrigerant

pressure is between 29 and 348 PSI (2 and 24 bar), the evaporator temperature is above 36.5°F
(2.5°C), and the coolant temperature is above 158°F (70°C).
12. With the DRBIII

t in ATC, select System Tests and select ATC Function Test. When the ATC

Function Test is complete, proceed to the next step of this procedure.
13. With the DRBIII

t, read active ATC DTCs. If any DTC is active or if the original condition

is still present, proceed to the conclusion question and answer Yes.
14. With the DRBIII

t, record and erase all DTCs from ALL modules. Start and run the engine

for 2 minutes. Operate all functions of the system that caused the original concern.
15. Turn the ignition off and wait 5 seconds. Turn the ignition on and using the DRBIII

t, read

DTCs from ALL modules.
Are any DTC’s present or is the original condition still present?

All

Yes

→ Repair is not complete, refer to the appropriate symptom.

→ Repair is complete.

NAG1 TRANSMISSION VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1

APPLICABILITY

1. Reconnect any disconnected components.
2. Connect the DRBIII

t to the Data Link Connector.

3. With the DRBIII

t, erase ABS DTCs.

4. With the DRBIII

t, erase ECM DTCs.

5. With the DRBIII

t, erase Transmission DTCs.

6. With the DRBIII

t, display Transmission Temperature. Start and run the engine until the

Transmission Temperature is HOT, above 43° C (110° F).
7. Check the Transmission fluid and adjust if necessary. Refer to the Service Information for the
proper Fluid Fill procedure.
8. NOTE: If internal repairs were performed and the shift quality is still poor, it may
be necessary to check the internal repair. Also check for any TSBs and/or Controller
Flash updates that may apply.
9. ROAD TEST PROCEDURE
10. Road test the vehicle. Make fifteen to twenty 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 upshifts.
11. Perform these shifts from a standing start to 72 km/h (45 MPH) with a constant throttle
opening of 20 to 25 degrees.
12. With speeds below 40 km/h (25 MPH), make five to eight wide open throttle kickdowns to
1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds each in 2nd and 3rd gear between each kickdown.
13. With the DRBIII

t, read Transmission DTCs.

Were there any Diagnostic Trouble Codes set?

All

Yes

→ Repair is not complete, refer to appropriate symptom.

→ Repair is complete.

VERIFICATION TESTS

NO START VERIFICATION - VER-1

APPLICABILITY

1. NOTE: IMPORTANT! If the Engine Control Module or Sentry Key Immobilizer
Module has been replaced, ensure the programming procedure for the module has
been performed in accordance with the Service Information.
2. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and
connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.
3. Inspect the engine oil for contamination. If it is contaminated, change the oil and filter.
4. With the DRB, erase all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
5. Turn the ignition off for at least 10 seconds.
6. Attempt to start the engine.
7. If the engine is unable to start, look for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that may
relate to this condition. Return to the Symptom List if necessary.
8. If the engine starts and continues to run, the repair is now complete.
Are any DTCs or symptoms remaining?

All

Yes

→ Repair is not complete, refer to appropriate symptom.

→ Repair is complete.

ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2

APPLICABILITY

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 non-DTC test, perform steps 3 and
4. If not, proceed to step 5.
3. Check to see if the initial symptom still exists. If there are no trouble codes and the symptom
no longer exists, the repair was successful and testing is now complete.
4. If the initial or another symptom exists, the repair is not complete. Check all pertinent
Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to the Symptom List if necessary.
5. For previously read DTCs that have not been dealt with, return to the Symptom List and
follow the diagnostic path for that DTC; otherwise, continue.
6. If the Engine Control Module (ECM) has not been changed, perform steps 7 and 8, otherwise,
continue with step 9.
7. With the DRB III

t, erase all diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), then disconnect the DRB IIIt.

8. Turn the ignition off for at least 10 seconds.
9. If equipped with a Transfer Case Position Switch, perform step 10, otherwise, continue with
step 11.
10. With the ignition switch on, place the Transfer Case Shift Lever in each gear position,
stopping for 15 seconds in each position.
11. Ensure no DTCs remain by performing steps 12 through 15.
12. Road test the vehicle. For some of the road test, go at least 64 km/h (40 MPH). If this test
is for an A/C Relay Control Circuit, drive the vehicle for at least 5 minutes with the A/C on.
13. At some point, stop the vehicle and turn the engine off for at least 10 seconds, then restart
the engine and continue.
14. Upon completion of the road test, turn the engine off and check for DTCs with the DRB III

15. If the repaired DTC has set again, the repair is not complete. Check for any pertinent
Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to the Symptom List. If there are no DTCs, the
repair was successful and is now complete.
Are any DTCs or symptoms remaining?
