Powertrain Verification Test VER-1

NOTE: If replacing the PCM, the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent DTCs from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module and Air Bag Control Module (ACM). If replacing PCM and vehicle is equipped with a Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), secret key data must also be updated to enable engine starting.
  1. Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. If repair procedure did not include replacing PCM, or 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. The correct VIN and mileage must be programmed or a DTC will set in the ABS and Air Bag modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable start. For ABS and Air Bag systems enter correct VIN and Mileage in PCM. Erase codes in ABS and Air Bag modules. For SKIM theft alarm connect DRBIII® to data link connector. Go to Theft Alarm, SKIM, Misc. and place SKIM in secured access mode, by using the appropriate PIN code for this vehicle. Select Update the Secret Key data. Data will be transferred from SKIM to PCM. See PROGRAMMING . After PCM has been programmed, go to next step.
  2. Inspect engine oil for fuel contamination. Change engine oil and filter as necessary. Attempt to start engine. If the conditions cannot be duplicated, clear all DTCs. Is the vehicle still unable to start and/or are there any DTCs or symptoms remaining? If no, test is complete. If yes, 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 article for diagnosis by symptom.
