POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 6 APPLICABILITY
1. NOTE: If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have not
been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the
SKIM.
2. NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer System, Secret
Key data must be updated. Refer to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM and
the Transponder (ignition key) for programming information.
3. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and
connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.
4. The LDP Monitor Test Mode has been added to the DRBIII to verify repairs to the LDP
System. A DRB software program was written which causes the PCM to run the LDP Monitor
as part of this test. Test failures will be indicated through a stored DTC.
5. LDP Monitor Test Mode is a useful way to run a total system performance test. Use this test
to verify any type of LDP system repair.
6. Software program makes temporary changes to operating mode of PCM. For this reason, it
is critical that test not be interrupted. PCM's left in this mode as result of interrupted test will
illuminate the MIL for 8-10 mi of driving with no DTC's stored.
7. Erasing DTC's will not change this condition.
8. If a vehicle is found to be stuck in the mode described above, the LDP Dealer Test should be
re-run in its entirety so that the software program in the DRBIII can restore the PCM
operating mode.
9. Note similarity to LDP Monitor screen found under OBDII Monitors. Failure modes are
fewer in this System Test than OBDII LDP Monitor. System Test only stores Small Leak DTC
to indicate problem with system. No other type of failure mode indication given.
10. System Test failure may have been, for example, due to a large leak, but the PCM will set
the Small Leak DTC to indicate failures that occurred as part of the system test.
11. Connect the DRB to the data link connector. Engine running, turn off all accessories.
12. Note: While test is being performed, PCM must see RPM, minimum MAP, No Vehicle speed
and minimum Throttle Position sensor (At idle, in park.) With DRBIII in System Tests, perform
the LDP Monitor Test and follow the instructions on the screen.
13. If the LDP Monitor Test failed and a Small Leak DTC has set, the repair is not complete.
Check for any related Technical Service Bulletins and return to Symptom List.
14. If any other trouble code has set, return to Symptom List and follow the path specified for
that trouble code. If the LDP Monitor Test passed, the repair was successful and testing is now
complete.

SKIS VERIFICATION APPLICABILITY
1. Reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
2. Obtain the vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to it's original
SKIM. This number can be obtained from the vehicle's invoice or Chrysler's Customer Center
(1-800-992-1997).
3. NOTE: When entering the PIN, care should be taken because the SKIM will only
allow 3 consecutive attempts to enter the correct PIN. If 3 consecutive incorrect
PIN's are entered the SKIM will Lock Out the DRB III for 1 hour.
4. To exit Lock Out mode, the ignition key must remain in the Run position continually for 1
hour. Turn off all accessories and connect a battery charger if necessary.
5. With the DRB III, select Theft Alarm, SKIM and Miscellaneous. Then select desired
procedure and follow the steps that will be displayed.
6. If the SKIM has been replaced, ensure all of the vehicle ignition keys are programmed to the
new SKIM.
7. NOTE: Prior to returning vehicle to the costumer, perform a module scan to be
sure that all DTC's are erased. Erase any DTC's that are found.
8. With the DRB III erase all DTC's. Perform 5 ignition key cycles leaving the key on for at least
90 seconds per cycle.
9. With the DRB III, read the SKIM DTC's.

> Quick Learn should generally not be used as a
repair procedure unless directed by a repair or
diagnostic procedure. If the transmission system
is exhibiting a problem that you think is caused
by an invalid CVI, you should try to relearn the
value by performing the appropriate driving ma-
neuver. In most cases, if a quick learn makes a
vehicle shift better, the vehicle will return with
the same problem.
> Before performing Quick Learn, it is imperative
that the vehicle be shifted into OD with the
engine running and the oil level set to the correct
level. This step will purge air from the clutch
circuits to prevent erroneous clutch volume val-
ues which could cause poor initial shift quality.
> If an unused TCM is installed on a vehicle with a
HOT engine, Quick Learn will cause the TCM to
report a cold calculated oil temperature. This
requires monitoring the calculated oil tempera-
ture using the DRBIIIt. If the temperature is
below 15C (60É F), the transmission must be run
at idle or driven in gear until it goes above 15C
(60ÉF). If the temperature is above 93C (200ÉF),
the transmission must cool to below 93C (200ÉF).
> First gear is engaged in overdrive after Quick
Learn is completed. Place the vehicle in park
after performing Quick Learn.
The Quick Learn function should be performed:
± Upon installation of a new service TCM
± After replacement or rebuild of internal trans-
mission components or the torque converter
± If one or more of the clutch volumes indexes
(CVI's) contain skewed readings because of
abnormal conditions.
To perform the Quick Learn procedure, the fol-
lowing conditions must be met.
± It is imperative that the vehicle be shifted into
OD with the engine running and the oil level
set to the correct level. This step will purge the
air in the clutch circuits to prevent erroneous
clutch volume values, which could cause poor
initial shift quality.
± The brakes must be applied.
± The engine must be idling.
± The throttle angle (TP sensor) must be less
than 3 degrees.
± The shift lever position must stay in neutral
until prompted to shift into OD.
± The shift lever must stay in OD after the9Shift
to Overdrive9prompt until the DRBIIItindi-
cates the procedure is complete.
± The oil temperature must be between 15C
(60ÉF) and 93C (200ÉF).NOTE:The above conditions must be maintained
during the procedure to keep the procedure from
being aborted.
The Quick Learn procedure is performed with the
DRBIIItby selecting9Transmission9system then
9Miscellaneous9functions, then9Quick Learn9. Follow
the procedure instructions displayed on the DRBIIIt.
3.3.9 CLUTCH VOLUMES
The L-R clutch volume is updated when doing a
2-1 or 3-1 coast down shift. The transmission tem-
perature must be between 21-49C (70-120É F). The
clutch volume should be between 35 and 83.
The 2-4 clutch volume is updated when doing a
1-2 shift. The transmission temperature must be
above 43C (110ÉF). The clutch volume should be
between 20 and 77.
The OD clutch volume is updated when doing a
2-3 shift. The transmission temperature must be
above 43C (110ÉF). The clutch volume should be
between 40 and 150.
The UD clutch volume is updated when doing a
4-3 or 4-2 shift. The transmission temperature must
be above 43C (110ÉF). The clutch volume should be
between 24 and 70.
3.3.10 ELECTRONIC PINION FACTOR
The transmission output speed signal supplies
distance pulses to the powertrain control module
(PCM), which are used to calculate speed and
mileage. A pinion factor is stored in the transmis-
sion control module (TCM) in order to provide the
appropriate distance pulses for the vehicle. The
pinion factor is programmed into the TCM at the
assembly plant.
Using the following steps, the pinion factor can be
checked and/or reset using the DRBIIIt:
1. Select Transmission system, then Miscellaneous
functions, then Pinion Factor. The DRBIIItwill
display the current tire size.
2. If the tire size is incorrect, depress the Enter key
and then select the correct size.
3. Depress the Page Back key to exit the reset
procedure.
Notes About Electronic Pinion Factor Features
The nature of the electronic pinion factor requires that
certain features must be taken into consideration.
> If no pinion factor is stored in an installed TCM,
the vehicle speedometer will not operate, engine
speed will be limited to 2300 RPM, and catalyst
damage may occur.
> Selecting a wrong tire size will cause the speed-
ometer to be inaccurate and will also cause any
speed related features to operate improperly.
Note: After replacing the TCM, you must
reprogram pinion factor
