Test VER-3A: Charging Verification

  1. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. Using scan tool, clear all DTCs.
  2. If PCM has been replaced, go to next step. If PCM has not been replaced, go to step  6 .
  3. Correct VIN and mileage have to be programmed or ABS and SRS DTCs will be set. Also if vehicle is equipped with Smart Key Imbolizer Module (SKIM), secret key data must be updated to enable starting.
  4. For ABS and air bag systems, connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located below driver's side of instrument panel. Using scan tool, enter correct VIN and mileage into PCM. Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, clear DTCs from ABS and SRS modules.
  5. Using scan tool, access THEFT ALARM, SKIM and then MISC menus. Place SKIM in SECURED ACCESS MODE by using appropriate Personal Identification Number (PIN) for vehicle. Select UPDATE SECRET KEY DATA. Data will be transferred from SKIM to PCM.
  6. To ensure no charging system problem exists, start engine. Perform OUTPUT VOLTAGE TEST  under ON-VEHICLE TESTING. Increase engine speed to 2000 RPM for at least 30 seconds. Allow engine to idle. Turn engine off.
  7. Using scan tool, check for stored DTCs. If repaired DTC has reset, repair is not complete. Check for related Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) and return to DTC TEST, if necessary. If another DTC exists, go to appropriate DTC test and follow specified procedure. If no other DTCs exist, repair is now complete.
