Test VER-2 - Road Test Verification Procedure

Ensure all engine components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. If coming to this verification procedure after a NO DTC TEST, check if initial symptom still exists. If initial or another symptom exists, repair is not complete. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), and return to TEST TC-1A if necessary.

If coming to this verification procedure after a DTC TEST, and another DTC was read previously and not corrected, return to TEST TC-1A and follow path specified by other DTC. If no other DTCs exist, and Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has not been replaced, perform following:

To ensure no other DTC remains, perform following:

  1. Turn on A/C and blower motor (if equipped). Drive vehicle for at least 5 minutes and attain a speed of at least 40 MPH. Ensure transmission shifts through all gears.
  2. Upon completion of road test, turn engine off. Restart engine, and let it idle for at least 2 minutes. Turn engine off. Connect scan tool to PCM DLC.
  3. Read all DTCs. If repaired DTC has reset, repair is not complete. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), and return to TEST TC-1A, if necessary. If another DTC exists, return to TEST TC-1A and follow path specified by other DTC. If no other DTCs exist, repair is now complete.
