5.ECT SENSOR OPERATION
NOTE: For this test to be valid, the thermostat must be operating correctly.
NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soaked).
NOTE: If the vehicle was allowed to sit over night with no engine start, coolant temperature should be near
ambient temperatures.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With the scan tool, read the ECT value.
NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82° C (180° F), allow the engine to cool until 65° C (150° F) is
reached.
Start the engine.
During engine warm-up, monitor the Engine Coolant Temperature value. Thetemperature value change should be a
smooth transition from start up to normal operating temp 82° C (180° F). Thevalue should reach at least 82° C
(180° F).
Did the Engine Temperature value increase smoothly and did it reach at least 82° C (180° F)?
Ye s>>
Go To 6
No>>

23. If thelift foot setsare continually used, a speed control overshoot/undershoot condition will develop.
24. To
unlearnthe overshoot/undershoot condition, the vehicle operator has to press and release the set button
while maintaining the desired set speedusing the accelerator pedal (not decelerating or accelerating).
25. Then turn the cruise control switch to the OFF position (or press the CANCEL button if equipped) after waiting
10 seconds.

Check for any related Technical Service Bulletins and/or refer to the appropriate Diagnostic Procedure.
3.POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST 2
1. If this vehicle is equipped with an Electronic Throttle Control system,and the APP Sensors, PCM, or Throttle
Body Assembly has been replaced use a scan tool to perform the ETC RELEARN function.
NOTE: 2. After completing the Powertrain Verification Test the Transmission Verification Test must be per-
formed.
NOTE: 3. If the PCM has been replaced and the correct VIN and mileage have notbeen programmed, a DTC
will set in the ABS Module, Airbag Module and the SKIM/SKREEM.
NOTE: 4. If the vehicle is equipped with a Sentry Key Remote Entry, Secret Key data must be updated. Refer
to the Service Information for the PCM, SKIM/SKREEM and the Transponder (ignition key) for programming
information. Using the scan tool, program the Secret Key information intothe PCM using the PCM replaced
function under the WCM menu.
5. Inspect the vehicle to make sure that all components related to the repair are properly installed and connected.

8. Start the engine and set engine speed to 2000 RPM for at least thirty seconds.
9. Cycle the ignition key off and on.
10. With the scan tool, read the DTCs.
Are any DTCs or symptoms remaining?
Ye s>>
Check for any Technical Service Bulletins and/or refer to the appropriateDiagnostic Procedure.
No>>
Repair is complete.
4.POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST 3
1. Install the Miller Tool #8404 Evaporative Emission Leak Detector (EELD) according to the instructions in the pre-
vious DTC table.
2. Set the smoke/air control switch to AIR.
3. Insert the tester’s AIR supply tip (clear hose) into the appropriate calibration orifice on the tester’s control panel
(based on DTC leak size).
4. Press the remote smoke/air start button.
5. Position the red flag on the air flow meter so it is aligned with the indicator ball.
6. When the calibration is complete, release the remote button. The EELD flow meter is now calibrated in liters per
minute to the size of leak indicated by the DTC set in the PCM.
7. Install the service port adapter #8404-14 on the vehicle’s service port.
8. Connect the Air supply hose from the EELD to the vehicle.
9. Press the remote button to activate AIR flow.
NOTE: 10. Larger volume fuel tanks, lower fuel levels or if the vehicle is equipped with a Flow Management
Valve may indicate high flow and will require 4 to 5 minutes to fill.
11. Compare the flow meter indicator ball reading to the red flag.
12. ABOVE the red flag indicates a leak present.
13. BELOW the red flag indicates a sealed system.
