Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Quick Test Description: Notes
The Quick Test is carried out by retrieving the key ON engine OFF (KOEO), key ON engine running (KOER), and continuous memory DTCs.
The Quick Test checks the integrity and function of the PCM and outputs the test results upon demand. The Quick Test also provides a quick end check of the powertrain control system and is usually carried out at the start of each diagnostic procedure. It is also carried out at the end of the pinpoint tests for verification of repair and to make sure no other concerns were incurred while repairing a previous concern.
