Verification Test VER-5

  1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.
  2. If any existing diagnostic trouble codes have not been repaired, go to the appropriate Symptom List and follow path specified.
  3. Connect the DRBIII(R) to the data link connector.
  4. Ensure the fuel tank has at least a quarter tank of fuel. Turn off all accessories.
  5. If the PCM was not replaced, skip steps  6 - 8 and continue the verification.
  6. If the PCM was replaced, the correct VIN and mileage must be programmed or a DTC will set in the ABS and Air Bag modules.
  7. In addition, start the vehicle 20 times after the module is replaced. After 20 starts, the new PCM is in the proper in-field mode and will kill the fuel if it doesn't receive a VTA Status (J1850) message from the BCM.
  8. For ABS and Air Bag systems: Enter correct VIN and mileage in PCM. Erase codes in ABS and Air Bag modules.
  9. If the catalyst was replaced, with the DRBIII(R) go to the miscellaneous menu option "Catalyst Replaced" and press enter.
  10. If a Comprehensive Component DTC was repaired, perform steps  11 - 13 . If a major OBDII Monitor DTC was repaired skip next step and continue the verification.
  11. After the ignition has been off for at least 10 seconds, restart the vehicle and run 2 minutes.
  12. With the DRBIII(R), monitor the appropriate pre-test enabling conditions until all conditions have been met. Once the conditions have been met, switch screen to the appropriate OBDII monitor, (Audible beeps when the monitor is running).
  13. If the conditions cannot be duplicated, erase all DTC's with the DRBIII(R).
  14. If another DTC has set, return to the symptom list and follow the path specified for that DTC.
  15. If the OBDII monitor ran successfully and has the Good Trip counter changed to one or more, the repair is complete. If the Good Trip counter did not change from one or more, check for any related TSB and/or refer to the appropriate symptom list.
