Circuit/System Verification

1. Ignition ON, clear the DTC information with a scan tool. Observe the scan tool DTC information. Verify that DTC P0602 does not fail this ignition.

• If DTC P0602 failed this ignition, reprogram the TCM. If DTC P0602 resets, replace the TCM.

2. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTCs P0601, P0603, P0604, or P062F do not set this ignition cycle.

• If any of the DTCs P0601, P0603, P0604, or P062F are set this ignition cycle, replace the TCM.

Repair Instructions

Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification (Verification Tests) after completing the repair.
