NOTE: If replacing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the correct vehicle mileage and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be programmed into PCM to prevent Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from being stored in Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) module and Air Bag Control Module (ACM). If replacing PCM and vehicle is equipped with a Smart Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), secret key data must also be updated to enable engine starting.

Inspect vehicle to ensure all engine components are connected. Reassemble and reconnect components as necessary. If repair procedure did not include replacing PCM, or PCM has been replaced and has already been programmed, go to next step. If PCM has been replaced but has not been programmed, program PCM and clear DTCs. See PROGRAMMING . After PCM has been programmed, go to next step.
Ensure no other charging problems exist before continuing. Start engine. Ensure generator output voltage is okay. Raise engine speed to 2000 RPM for at least 30 seconds. Allow engine to idle. Turn ignition off.
Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, read DTCs. If original DTC did not return and there are no new DTCs, test is complete. If original DTC returns or another DTC is present, perform appropriate diagnostic test. See DTC MESSAGES & CODES table under DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS.

• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.

• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
