Verification Test VER-2A - Road Test Verification

TEST VER-2A ROAD TEST VERIFICATION

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

If this verification procedure is being performed subsequent to a NO TROUBLE CODE test, do the following:

1. Check to see if the initial symptom still exists.

2. If the initial or another symptom exists, the repair is not complete. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins and return to TEST NTC-1A if necessary.

If this verification procedure is being performed subsequent to a TROUBLE CODE test, do the following:

For previously read trouble codes that have not been dealt with, return to TEST TC-1A and follow the path specified by the other code. Otherwise, continue.

If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has not been changed:

Connect the DRB to the PCM data link connector and erase trouble codes.

With the DRB, reset all values in the adaptive memory.

Disconnect the DRB.

Ensure no other trouble code remains by doing the following:

1. If the vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, turn ON the air conditioning and blower.

2. Drive the vehicle for at least five minutes and at some point attain a speed of 40 MPH. Ensure the transmission shifts through all gears. Upon completion of the road test, turn the engine OFF.

3. Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle for at least two minutes.

4. Turn the engine OFF.

5. Connect the DRB to the PCM data link connector, and with the DRB, read all trouble codes.

If the repaired code has reset, the repair is not complete. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins and return to TEST TC-1A if necessary.

If another trouble code has set, return to TEST TC-1A and follow the path specified by the other trouble code.

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