If the vehicle is equipped with a factory theft alarm, start the vehicle at least 20 times so that the alarm system may be activated when desired.
- Connect the DRB or equivalent Scantool to the PCM data link connector and erase the codes.

Ensure no other charging system problems remain by doing the following:
1. Start the engine.
2. Raise the engine speed to 2,000 rpm for at least 30 seconds.
3. Allow the engine to idle.
4. Turn the engine off.

- If there are no codes, the repair is now complete.
