Powertrain Verification Test VER-5

NOTE: If replacing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module, Air Bag Control Module (ACM) and Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). If replacing PCM and vehicle is equipped with SKIM, secret key data must also be updated to enable engine starting. See PROGRAMMING .
  1. Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. If any DTCs have not been diagnosed, perform appropriate diagnostic test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If all DTCs have been diagnosed and repaired, go to next step.
  2. Connect DRBIII® to Data Link Connector (DLC), if not previously done. Ensure fuel tank is at least 1/4 full. Turn off all accessories. Go to next step.
  3. If repair procedure did not include replacing PCM, go to next step. If PCM has been replaced and has already been programmed, go to next step. If PCM has been replaced but has not been programmed, program PCM and clear DTCs. See PROGRAMMING . After PCM has been programmed, go to next step.
  4. Ensure all DTCs are cleared. If catalytic converter was replaced, select Miscellaneous Menu Option, then Catalyst Replaced and press enter. If a Comprehensive Component DTC was repaired, go to next step. If a Major OBD-II Monitor DTC was repaired, go to step  6.
  5. After the ignition has been off for at least 10 seconds, restart the vehicle and run for 2 minutes. Go to step  7.
  6. Using DRBIII®, monitor the appropriate pre-test enabling conditions until all conditions have been met. Once the conditions have been met, switch screen to the appropriate OBD-II monitor (audible beeps are heard when the monitor is running). Go to next step.
  7. If the conditions cannot be duplicated, clear all DTCs. Did the OBD-II Monitor test run successfully and has the Good Trip counter changed to one or more? If yes, test is complete. If no, check for any related technical service bulletins that apply to symptom. If repaired DTC has reset, proceed to appropriate DTC test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If necessary, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARS - EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE & STRATUS COUPE article for diagnosis by symptom.
