Verification Test VER-3A - Charging System Verification

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has been changed and the correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set in the ABS and Air bag modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting.

For ABS and Air Bag systems:

ACTION:
1. Enter correct VIN and Mileage in PCM.
2. Erase codes in ABS and Air Bag modules.

For SKIM theft alarm:

ACTION:
1. Connect the DRB to the data link connector.
2. Go to Engine, Misc. and place the SKIM in secured access mode, by using the appropriate PIN code for this vehicle.
3. Select Update the Secret Key data, data will be transferred from the SKIM to the PCM.

Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all engine components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary.

Connect the DRB 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. Perform generator output test.
3. Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm for at least 30 seconds.
4. Allow the engine to idle.
5. Turn the engine off.
6. Turn the ignition key on.
7. With the DRB, read trouble code messages.

If the repaired code has reset, or any other one has set, check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins and return to DTC TEST if necessary.

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