Fuel System Lean/Rich or Misfire Verification


Use this test to verify that the Fuel System Lean, Fuel System Rich, or Misfire symptom has been repaired and that the vehicle can be returned to the customer.

NOTE: If the Powertrain Control Module has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in the ABS, Airbag and the SKIM modules. In addition, if the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable starting.

1. Inspect the vehicle to ensure that all components related to the repair are connected properly.

5. If any other DTC is present, refer to the symptom list for further diagnostic testing procedures.

3. With the DRB III, monitor the Similar Conditions Window and attempt to duplicate the conditions that the vehicle was operating at when the DTC was set. If the conditions can be duplicated, the Good Trip counter will change to one or more.

4. If the DTC resets, or the OBD II monitor fails after running, or if any other symptom or DTC is present, return to the symptom list and perform the appropriate diagnostic testing procedures. Check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

5. If the monitor runs and the Good Trip Counter changes to one or more, the condition is no longer present. If there are no DTCs and all components are functioning properly, the repair is complete.
