    3. Is the measured resistance within specification ?

      YES 

      • Go to  2"OCV Actuation Test" as follows.

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known - good OCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace OCV and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    5. Does OCV generate click sound during actuation test ?

      YES 

      • Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
      NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scan tool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM.
      Before or after testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function before reusing the PCM

      NO 

      • Substitute with a known - good OCV and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace OCV and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
