2.POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST 1
NOTE: 1. If this vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control system, and the APP Sensors, PCM,
or Throttle Body Assembly have been replaced, use the scan tool to perform the ETC RELEARN function.
NOTE: 2. After completing the Powertrain Verification Test the Transmission Verification Test must be per-
formed.
NOTE: 3. If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have notbeen programmed, a DTC
will set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the SKIM/SKREEM.
NOTE: 4. If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Remote Entry, Secret Key data must be updated. Refer
to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM/SKREEM and the Transponder (ignition key) for programming
information. Using the scan tool, program the Secret Key information intothe PCM using the PCM replaced
function under the WCM menu.
5. Inspect the vehicle to make sure that all engine components are properlyinstalled and connected.
6. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector and erase all codes.
7. Turn the speed control ON (if equipped, cruise light will be on).
8. Depress and release the SET Switch when the vehicle speed is greater than35 MPH. The speed control should
engage and hold the selected speed.
9. Press and hold the RESUME/ACCEL Switch. The vehicle speed should increase by at least 2 MPH.
10. Press and hold the COAST switch. The vehicle speed should decrease.
11. Using caution, press and release the brake pedal. The speed control should disengage.
12. Bring the vehicle speed back up to 35 MPH.
13. Press the RESUME/ACCEL switch. The speed control should resume the previously set speed.
14. Hold down the SET switch. The vehicle should decelerate.
15. Make sure vehicle speed is greater than 35 mph and release the SET Switch. The vehicle should adjust and set
a new vehicle speed.
16. Press and release the CANCEL switch. The speed control should disengage.
17. Bring the vehicle speed back up above 35 mph and engage speed control.

NOTE: OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWING SPEED CONTROL SET.
19. If the vehicle operator repeatedly presses and releases the SET buttonwith their foot off of the accelerator
(referred to as
lift foot set), the vehicle may accelerate and exceed the desired set speed by up to 5 mph (8km/h).
20. It may also decelerate to less than the desired set speed, before finally achieving the desired set speed.
21. The Speed Control System has an adaptive strategy that compensates forvehicle-to-vehicle variations in speed
control cable lengths.
22. When the speed control is set with the vehicles operators foot off of theaccelerator pedal, the speed control
thinks there is excessive speed control cable slack and adapts accordingly.

23. If thelift foot setsare continually used, a speed control overshoot/undershoot condition will develop.
24. To
unlearnthe overshoot/undershoot condition, the vehicle operator has to press and release the set button
while maintaining the desired set speedusing the accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerating).
25. Then turn the cruise control switch to the OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if equipped) after waiting
10 seconds.
26. This procedure must be performed approximately 10-15 times to completely unlearn the overshoot/undershoot
condition.

BEARINGS
ADJUSTMENTS
BEARING ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
Take extreme care when removing andinstalling bearing cups and cones.Use only an arbor press for installa-
tion,as a hammer may not properly align the bearing cup or cone. Burrs or nicks on the bearing seat will give a
false end play reading, while gauging for proper shims. Improperly seatedbearing cup and cones are subject to
low-mileage failure.
Bearing cups and cones should be replaced if they show signs of pitting or heat distress.
If distress is seen on either the cup or bearing rollers, both cup and cone must be replaced.
NOTE: Bearing drag torque specifications must be maintained to avoid premature bearing failures.
Used (original) bearing may lose up to 50 percent of the original drag torque after break-in.
NOTE: All bearing adjustments must be made with no other component interference or gear inter-mesh.
Oil all bearings before checking turning torque.
