Diagnostic Test
1.NO START PRE-TEST
NOTE: The following list of items must be checked before continuing with any no start tests.
The battery must be fully charged and in good condition. A low charged battery may produce invalid test results. If
the battery is low, charge the battery and then attempt to start the vehicleby cranking the engine for 15 seconds,
3 consecutive times.
This will allow any DTCs to set that may have been erased due to a dead battery.
Try to communicate with PCM if not able to communicate check fuses.
Make sure the Powers and Ground to the PCM are OK.
Make sure the PCM communicates with the scan tool and that there are no DTCs stored in the PCM memory. If the
PCM reports a No Response condition, refer to section 8 Electrical Electronic Control Module Electrical Diagnostics
for the proper tests.
Read the PCM DTCs with the scan tool. If any DTCs are present, they must be repaired before continuing with any
other No Start diagnostic tests. Refer to the Table of Contents for the related P-code that is reported by the PCM.
Make sure that the Bus is functional. Attempt to communicate with the Instrument Cluster and VTSS, If you are
unable to establish communications refer to 8 Electrical Electronic Control Module Electrical Diagnostics for the
proper Diagnostic procedures.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System mustbe operating properly. Check for proper communication with the scan tool
and check for DTCs that may be stored in the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM). Repair the DTC(s) before
continuing.
If no DTCs are found, using the scan tool, select Clear PCM (BATT Disconnect).
Crank the engine several times. Using the scan tool, read DTCs. If a DTC is present perform the DTC diagnostics
before continuing.

POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4 (DIESEL)
1.POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 4 (DIESEL)
1. Check if any of the following conditions exist.
2. The ECM has been disconnected or replace.
3. The Battery power has been disconnected.
4. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble and
reconnect components as necessary.
5. With the DRBIII
,eraseDTCs.
6. If the ECM has been replaced, perform steps 11 through 13, then continue with the verification.
7. If ECM has been changed and correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in ABS
and Air bag modules. In addition, if vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), Secret Key
data must be updated to enable start.
8. For ABS and Air Bag systems: Enter correct VIN and Mileage in ECM. Erase codes in ABS and Air Bag modules.
9. For SKIM theft alarm: Connect DRBIII
to data link conn. Go to Theft Alarm, SKIM, Misc. and place SKIM in
secured access mode, by using the appropriate PIN code for this vehicle. Select Update the Secret Key data. Data
will be transferred from SKIM to PCM
10. Turn the speed control ON (if equipped, cruise light will be on).
11. 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.
12. 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 Symp-
tom List.
13. 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, ifnecessary, return to Symptom List.
14. 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, ifnecessary, return to Symptom List.
15. Bring the vehicle speed back up to 35 MPH.
16. Depress the RESUME/ACCEL switch. If the speed control did not resume the previously set speed, the repair
is not complete. Check for TSBs that pertain to speed control problem and then, if necessary, return to Symptom
List.
17. Hold down the SET switch. If the vehicle did not decelerate, the repair is not complete. Check for TSBs that
pertain to speed control problem and then, if necessary, return to SymptomList.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. Bring the vehicle speed back up above 35 mph and engage speed control.
21. 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 then, if necessary, return to Symptom
List.
22. If the vehicle successfully passed all of the previous tests, the speedcontrol system is now functioning as
designed. The repair is now complete.
23. NOTE: OVERSHOOT/UNDERSHOOT FOLLOWING SPEED CONTROL SET.
24. 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).
25. It may also decelerate to less than the desired set speed, before finally achieving the desired set speed.
26. The Speed Control System has an adaptive strategy that compensates forvehicle-to-vehicle variations in speed
control cable lengths.
27. 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.
28. If the
lift foot setsare continually used, a speed control overshoot/undershoot condition will develop.
29. To
unlearnthe overshoot/undershoot condition, the vehicle operator has to press and release the set button
POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 (DIESEL)

1.POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 5 (DIESEL)
1. Check if any of the following conditions exist.
2. The ECM has been disconnected or replace.
3. The Battery power has been disconnected.
4. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are properly installed and connected. Reassemble and
reconnect components as necessary.
5. If any existing diagnostic trouble codes have not been repaired, go to Symptom List and follow path specified.
6. Connect the scan tool to the data link connector.
7. Ensure the fuel tank has at least a quarter tank of fuel. Turn off all accessories.
8. Perform steps 15 through 17 if the PCM has been replaced. Then proceed with the verification. If the ECM has
not been replaced skip those steps and continue verification.
9. If ECM has been changed and correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in ABS
and Air bag modules. In addition, if vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), Secret Key
data must be updated to enable start.
10. For ABS and Air Bag systems: Enter correct VIN and Mileage in ECM. Erase codes in ABS and Air Bag mod-
ules.
11. For SKIM theft alarm: Connect scan tool to data link connector to Theft Alarm, SKIM, Misc. and place SKIM in
secured access mode by using appropriate PIN code for this vehicle. SelectUpdate the Secret Key data. Data will
be transferred from SKIM to PCM.
12. If a Comprehensive Component DTC was repaired, perform steps 10-13. Ifa Major OBDII Monitor DTC was
repaired skip those steps and continue verification.
13. After the ignition has been off for at least 10 seconds, restart the vehicle and run 2 minutes.
14. If there are no new DTC’s, the repair was successful and is now complete.Erase DTC’s and disconnect the
scan tool.
15. 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.
16. If another DTC has set, return to the Symptom List and follow the path specified for that DTC.
17. With the scan tool, 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).
18. If the monitor ran, the repair was successful and is now complete. EraseDTC’s and disconnect the scan tool.
19. 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.
20. If another DTC has set, return to the Symptom List and follow the path specified for that DTC.
