2. If any existing diagnostic trouble codes have not been repaired, go to Symptom List and follow path specified.

3. Connect the DRB III to the Data Link Connector.

4. Ensure the fuel tank has at least a quarter tank of fuel. Turn off all accessories.

5. Perform steps 6 through 8 if the PCM has been replaced. Then proceed with the verification. If the PCM has not been replaced skip those steps and continue verification.

6. If PCM has been changed and correct VIN and mileage have not been programmed, a DTC will be set in ABS and Airbag modules. In addition, if vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), Secret Key data must be updated to enable start.

7. For ABS and Airbag systems: Enter correct VIN and Mileage in PCM. Erase codes in ABS and Airbag modules.

8. For SKIM theft alarm: Connect DRB III to the Data Link Connector. Go to Theft Alarm, SKIM, Misc. and place SKIM in secured access mode, by using the appropriate PIN code for this vehicle. Select Update Secret Key data. Data will be transferred from SKIM to PCM.

9. Start and run the engine until the transmission temperature is above 43 °C (110 °F).

12. Below 40 km/h (25 mph), make 5 to 8 wide open throttle kick downs to 1st gear. Allow at least 5 seconds each in 2nd and 3rd between each kick down.

13. For a specific DTC drive the vehicle to the Symptom's When Monitored/When Set conditions to verify the DTC repair.
