Powertrain Verification Test VER-2
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
.
- Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected properly. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Run engine for one warm-up cycle to verify proper operation. Road test vehicle and use all accessories that may be related to repair.
- Using scan tool, confirm that no DTCs or secondary indicators are present and that all components are functioning properly. Verify symptom is no longer present. If symptom is still present or any other symptom is present, go to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - CARS - EXCEPT SEBRING COUPE & STRATUS COUPE article for additional testing. Also, refer to any technical service bulletins that may apply.
- If any DTCs are present, perform appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS in SELF-DIAGNOSTICS - PT CRUISER article. If no DTCs are present and all components are functioning properly, repair is complete.
