Charging System Verification

Use this test to verify that the Charging System 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.

2. With the DRB III, Clear DTC's.

3. Perform generator output test.

4. Start the engine and set engine speed to 2000 rpm for at least 30 seconds.

5. Turn the ignition OFF.

6. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine not running.

7. With the DRB III, Read the DTC's. If the DTC returns, or any other symptom or DTC is present, refer to the symptom list for further diagnostic testing procedures. Check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.

8. If there are no DTC's present and all components are functioning properly, the repair is complete.
