VERIFICATION TEST
1. Reconnect the previously disconnected components and connectors.
2. It may be necessary to obtain the vehicle's unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) assigned to the vehicle. This number can be obtained from the original vehicle invoice or from your Service Manager or Parts Manager.

NOTE: If, during programming, the scan tool instructs to "Enter the vehicle PIN number", care should be taken because the RF Hub will only allow 3 consecutive attempts to enter the correct PIN. If 3 consecutive incorrect PIN's are entered, the RF Hub will Lock Out the scan tool. To exit Lock Mode, the ignition must remain in the Off position for 25 minutes. All accessories must be off. A battery charger connected to the battery during this time period is recommended.

NOTE: The PCM stores the secret key information. When the RF Hub needs to be replaced, the secret key information will be retrieved from the PCM and then transferred to the new RF Hub for security use.
