VERIFICATION TESTS
POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4 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.
4. Connect the DRB to the data link connector and erase all codes.
5. Turn the speed control ON (if equipped, cruise light will be on).
6. Depress and release the SET Switch. If the speed control did not engage, the repair is not
complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to speed control problem and then, if necessary, return
to Symptom List.
7. Depress and hold the RESUME/ACCEL Switch. If the vehicle speed did not increase by at
least 2 mph, the repair is not complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to speed control problem
and then, if necessary, return to Symptom List.
8. Press and hold the COAST switch. The vehicle speed should decrease. If it did not decrease,
the repair is not complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to speed control problem and then, if
necessary, return to Symptom List.
9. Using caution, depress and release the brake pedal. If the speed control did not disengage,
the repair is not complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to speed control problem and then, if
necessary, return to Symptom List.
10. Bring the vehicle speed back up to 35 MPH.
11. Depress the RESUME/ACCEL switch. If the speed control did not resume the previously set

Symptom List.
13. Ensure vehicle speed is greater than 35 mph and release the SET Switch. If vehicle did not
adjust and set a new vehicle speed, the repair is not complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to
speed control problem and then, if necessary, return to Symptom List.
14. Depress and release the CANCEL switch. If the speed control did not disengage, the repair
is not complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to speed control problem and then, if necessary,
return to Symptom List.
15. Bring the vehicle speed back up above 35 mph and engage speed control.
16. Depress the OFF switch to turn OFF, (Cruise light will be off). If the speed control did not
disengage, the repair is not complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to speed control problem and

POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 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. Connect the DRBIIItto the data link connector.
5. Ensure the fuel tank has at least a quarter tank of fuel. Turn off all accessories.
6. If a Comprehensive Component DTC was repaired, perform steps5-8.IfaMajor OBDII
Monitor DTC was repaired skip those steps and continue verification.
7. After the ignition has been off for at least 10 seconds, restart the vehicle and run 2 minutes.
8. If the Good Trip counter changed to one or more and there are no new DTC's, the repair was
successful and is now complete. Erase DTC's and disconnect the DRBIIIt.
9. If the repaired DTC has reset, the repair is not complete. Check for any related TSB's or flash
updates and return to the Symptom list.
10. If another DTC has set, return to the Symptom List and follow the path specified for that
DTC.
11. With the DRBIIIt, 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).
12. If the monitor ran, and the Good Trip counter changed to one or more, the repair was
successful and is now complete. Erase DTC's and disconnect the DRBIIIt.
13. If the repaired OBDII trouble code has reset or was seen in the monitor while on the road
test, the repair is not complete. Check for any related technical service bulletins or flash
updates and return to Symptom List.

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.
Are any DTCs present?All
Ye s®Repair is complete.
No®Repair is not complete, refer to appropriate symptom.
