Body Verification Test-VER. 1

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan and 2002 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Disconnect all jumper wires and reconnect all previously disconnected components and connectors.
  2. With the DRBIII®, record and erase all DTCs from ALL modules. Cycle the ignition on then off.
  3. If the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module (SKIM), the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or the Engine Control Module (ECM) was replaced, proceed to Step  12. If the SKIM, PCM, or ECM was not replaced, continue to the next step.
  4. If the Body Control Module (ECM) was replaced, turn the ignition on for 15 seconds (to allow the new BCM to learn VIN) or engine may not start (if VTSS equipped). If the vehicle is equipped with VTSS, use the DRBIII® and enable VTSS.
  5. Program all other options as needed.
  6. If any actuators were replaced in the HVAC System with the DRBIII® in HVAC, select System bests then select HVAC Door Recuperation (manual temperature system only).
  7. If any actuators were replaced in the ATC System, with the DRBIII® in Automatic Temp Control, select Miscellaneous then select Reset ATC Head.
  8. For 3 Zone HVAC Systems, if HVAC Control/Rear Blower Rear Control was replaced/Rear Blend Pot Circuit Open/Short DTC was set/any rear blend pot circuit was repaired, proceed to step  9 &  10. Otherwise, proceed to step  11.
  9. With DRBIII® in HVAC, select System Tests then select HVAC Door Recuperation. Door Recuperation must pass before proceeding to next step.
  10. With DRBIII® in HVAC, select System Tests then select Reset Rear Blend Switch Span. Rotate Rear Blend/Mode control on Rear Blower Rear Control to full cold. Wait 5 seconds, then rotate control to full hot.
  11. If any repairs were made to the power sliding door or power liftgate, use the DRBIII® and perform the open and close system tests. Observe the instructions on the DRBIII® screen. Proceed to step  16.
  12. Obtain the vehicles unique PIN assigned to its original SKIM from either the vehicles invoice or from Chryslers Customer Assistance Center (1-800-992-1997).
  13. Once Secured Access Mode is active, the SKIM will remain in that mode for 60 seconds.
  14. With the DRBIII®, select THEFT ALARM, SKIM, MISCELLANEOUS and select SKIM REPLACED. Enter the 4 digit PIN to put the SKIM in Secured Access Mode.
  15. The DRBIIII® will prompt for the following steps.
    1. Program the country code into the SKIMS memory.
    2. Program the vehicles VIN into the SKIM memory.
    3. Transfer the vehicles Secret Key data from the PCM.
  16. Using the DRBIII®, program all customer keys into the SKIM memory. This requires that the SKIM be in Secured Access Mode, using the 4 digit PIN.
  17. Note: If the PCM or ECM is replaced, the VIN and the unique Secret Key data must be transferred from the SKIM to the PCM or ECM. This procedure requires the SKIM to be placed in Secured Access Mode using the 4-digit PIN.
  18. Note: If 3 attempts are made to enter Secured Access Mode using an incorrect PIN, Secured Access Mode will be locked out for one hour which causes the DRBIII® to display "No Deep from SKIM". To exit this mode, turn ignition to Run for one hour.
  19. Ensure that all accessories are turned off and the battery is fully charged.
  20. Start and run the engine for 2 minutes. Operate all functions of the system that caused the original concern.
  21. Turn the ignition off and wait 5 seconds. Turn the ignition on and using the DRBIII®, read DTCs from ALL modules. Are any DTCS present or is the original condition still present? If Yes, repair is not complete, refer to the appropriate symptom. See SYMPTOM TESTS . If No, repair is complete.
