Test VER-1: Powertrain Verification

NOTE: If Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is replaced, the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into the PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Controller Anti-Lock Brake (CAB) module and Air Bag Control (ACM) module. 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. To program PCM and clear DTCs from CAB and ACM modules, perform PROGRAMMING POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE  procedure under POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE under PROGRAMMING.

Inspect vehicle to ensure all components related to repair are properly connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. Inspect engine oil for fuel contamination. Change engine oil and filter as necessary. Attempt to start engine. If engine starts and stays running, test is complete. If engine does not start, or starts and stalls, check for related technical service bulletins and see NO START DIAGNOSIS or DRIVEABILITY PROBLEMS in appropriate BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES article for additional testing.
