Refer to the DRBIIItuser 's guide for instructions
and assistance with reading trouble codes, erasing
trouble codes, and other DRBIIItfunctions.
3.5 DRB ERROR MESSAGES AND BLANK
SCREEN
Under normal operation, the DRBIIItwill dis-
play one of only two error messages:
± User-Requested WARM Boot or User-
Requested COLD Boot.
This is a sample of such an error message display:

Press MORE to switch between this display
and the application screen.
Press F4 when done noting information.
3.5.1 DRB IIITDOES NOT POWER UP
If the LED's do not light or no sound is emitted at
start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad
cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage (data link
connector cavity 16). A minimum of 11 volts is
required to adequately power the DRBIIIt.
If all connections are proper between the
DRBIIItand vehicle or other devices, and the
vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative
DRBIIItmay be the result of a faulty cable or
vehicle wiring. For a blank screen, refer to the
appropriate body diagnostics manual.
3.5.2 DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the
display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this
condition.

All information, illustrations, and specifications
contained in this manual are based on the latest

The right is reserved to make changes at any time
without notice.
4.2 SAFETY
4.2.1 TECHNICIAN SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: ENGINES PRODUCE CARBON
MONOXIDE THAT IS ODORLESS, CAUSES
SLOWER REACTION TIME, AND CAN LEAD
TO SERIOUS INJURY. WHEN THE ENGINE IS
OPERATING, KEEP SERVICE AREAS WELL
VENTILATED OR ATTACH THE VEHICLE
EXHAUST SYSTEM TO THE SHOP EXHAUST
REMOVAL SYSTEM.
Set the parking brake and block the wheels before
testing or repairing the vehicle. It is especially impor-
tant to block the wheels on front-wheel drive vehicles;
the parking brake does not hold the drive wheels.
When servicing a vehicle, always wear eye pro-
tection, and remove any metal jewelry such as
watchbands or bracelets that might make an inad-
vertent electrical contact.
When diagnosing a powertrain system problem,
it is important to follow approved procedures where

4.3.3 ELECTRONIC PINION FACTOR
WARNING
The pinion factor must be set for all new trans-
mission control modules. If the pinion factor is not
set or if it is set incorrectly, any speed-related
accessories will not operate or will operate inaccu-
rately. This includes the speedometer, speed con-
trol, rolling door locks, and other devices that are
operated by the powertrain and body control mod-
ules. For instructions on setting the pinion factor,
see the appropriate transmission diagnostic man-
ual or the service manual.

1 At this point in the diagnostic test procedure, you have determined that all of the
engine electrical systems are operating as designed; therefore, they are not the cause
of the driveability problem.
The following additional items should be checked as possible mechanical causes of
the problem:
ENGINE VACUUM - must be at least 13 inches in neutral
ENGINE VALVE TIMING - must be within specifications
ENGINE COMPRESSION - must be within specifications
CAMSHAFT LOBES - check for abnormal wear
CRANK SENSOR PICK-UP - check crankshaft slots for debris/deterioration
ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM - must be free of any restrictions
ENGINE PCV SYSTEM - must flow freely
ENGINE DRIVE SPROCKETS - must be properly positioned
TORQUE CONVERTER STALL SPEED - must be within specifications
POWER BRAKE BOOSTER - no internal vacuum leaks
FUEL - must be free of contamination
FUEL INJECTOR - plugged or restricted injector; control wire not connected to
correct injector
Note: If you came to this test from the oxygen sensor, and the rich or lean
condition is not caused by one of the first items above, replace the power-
train control module and perform TEST VER-2A (Road Test Verification).
Always look for any Technical Service Bulletins that may relate to the problem.
