POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4
APPLICABILITY
1. NOTE: After completing the Powertrain Verification Test the Transmission Verifi-
cation Test must be performed.
2. NOTE: 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.
3. NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer System, Secret Key
data must be updated. Refer to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM and the
Transponder (ignition key) for programming information.
4. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and
connected.
5. Connect the DRBIII
t to the data link connector and erase all codes.
6. Turn the speed control ON (if equipped, cruise light will be on).
7. 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.
8. Press and hold the RESUME/ACCEL Switch. The vehicle speed should increase by at least
2 MPH.
9. Press and hold the COAST switch. The vehicle speed should decrease.
10. Using caution, press and release the brake pedal. The speed control should disengage.
11. Bring the vehicle speed back up to 35 MPH.
12. Press the RESUME/ACCEL switch. The speed control should resume the previously set
speed.
13. Hold down the SET switch. The vehicle should decelerate.
14. Ensure vehicle speed is greater than 35 mph and release the SET Switch. The vehicle
should adjust and set a new vehicle speed.
15. Press and release the CANCEL switch. The speed control should disengage.
16. Bring the vehicle speed back up above 35 mph and engage speed control.
17. Turn the Speed Control Off. (Cruise light will be off). The speed control should disengage.
18. NOTE: OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWING SPEED CONTROL SET.
19. If the vehicle operator repeatedly presses and releases the SET button with their foot off of
the accelerator (referred to as
9lift foot set9), the vehicle may accelerate and exceed the desired
set speed by up to 5 mph (8 km/h).
20. It may also decelerate to less than the desired set speed, before finally achieving the desired
set speed.
21. The Speed Control System has an adaptive strategy that compensates for vehicle-to-vehicle
variations in speed control cable lengths.
22. 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.
23. If the
9lift foot sets9 are continually used, a speed control overshoot/undershoot condition
will develop.
24. To
9unlearn9 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).
25. Then turn the cruise control switch to the OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if
equipped) after waiting 10 seconds.
26. This procedure must be performed approximately 10-15 times to completely unlearn the
overshoot/undershoot condition.
