POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5

APPLICABILITY

1. NOTE: After completing the Powertrain Verification Test the Transmission Verifi-
cation Test must be performed.
2. NOTE: If the PCM has been replace and the vehicle is equipped with a 2.4L Turbo,
Manual Transmission, the Pinion Factor MUST be programmed into the PCM.
Failure to do so will cause the speedometer to become inoperative or inaccurate.
3. NOTE: If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have not
been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the
SKIM.
4. 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.
5. NOTE: When replacing an O2 Sensor, the PCM RAM memory must be cleared,
either by disconnecting the PCM C-1 connector or momentarily disconnecting the
battery negative terminal.
6. The NGC (PCM) learns the characteristics of each O2 heater element and these old values
should be cleared when installing a new O2 sensor. The customer may experience driveability
issues if this is not performed.
7. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and
connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.
8. Connect the DRBIII

t to the data link connector.

9. Ensure the fuel tank has at least a quarter tank of fuel. Turn off all accessories.
10. If a Comprehensive Component DTC was repaired, perform steps 5 - 8. If a Major OBDII
Monitor DTC was repaired skip those steps and continue verification.
11. After the ignition has been off for at least 10 seconds, restart the vehicle and run 2 minutes.
12. If the Good Trip counter changed to one or more and there are no new DTC’s, the repair was
successful and is now complete. Erase DTC’s and disconnect the DRBIII

13. If the repaired DTC has reset, the repair is not complete. Check for any related TSB’s or
flash updates and return to the Symptom list.
14. If another DTC has set, return to the Symptom List and follow the path specified for that
DTC.
15. With the DRBIII

t, monitor the appropriate pre-test enabling conditions until all conditions

have been met. Once the conditions have been met, switch screen to the appropriate OBDII
monitor, (Audible beeps when the monitor is running).
16. If the monitor ran, and the Good Trip counter changed to one or more, the repair was
successful and is now complete. Erase DTC’s and disconnect the DRBIII

17. If the repaired OBDII trouble code has reset or was seen in the monitor while on the road
test, the repair is not complete. Check for any related technical service bulletins or flash
updates and return to Symptom List.
