EPC in BENCH MODE
The BENCH MODE is also used to test the functionality of the transmission's electronic pressure
control. During BENCH MODE, the electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid can ramp up/down in
increments of 103 kPa (15 psi) from zero to 620 kPa (90 psi) and 620 kPa (90 psi) to zero psi.
The OSC functions for the parameter EPC allows the technician to choose the following options:
zEPC - activates EPC to selected values.
z 00 - sets EPC pressure to 00 kPa (00 psi).
z 15 - sets EPC pressure to 103 kPa (15 psi).
z 30 - sets EPC pressure to 206 kPa (30 psi).
z 45 - sets EPC pressure to 310 kPa (45 psi).
z 60 - sets EPC pressure to 411 kPa (60 psi).
z 75 - sets EPC pressure to 517 kPa (75 psi).

OSC — Transmission DRIVE MODES
The DRIVE MODE allows control of three transmission parameters. Each mode/parameter has a
unique set of vehicle operating requirements that the technician is required to meet before being
allowed to operate OSC. The recommended procedure, when using the DRIVE MODE, is to control
one parameter at a time.
The DRIVE MODE allows the technician to carry out the following functions on the transmission:
zGR_CM - allows upshifts or downshifts.
z TCC - engages or disengages the torque converter clutch.
z EPC - increases/decreases EPC pressure.
GR_CM in DRIVE MODE
This OSC function is used to test the transmission shift functions.
The OSC functions for the GR_CM parameter allows the technician to choose the following options:
z1 - PCM selects 1st gear.
z 2 - PCM selects 2nd gear.
z 3 - PCM selects 3rd gear.
z 4 - PCM selects 4th gear.
OSC "GR_CM" Mode operates ONLY when:

EPC in DRIVE MODE
This OSC function is used to increase the EPC pressure while testing the transmission shift functions.
This OSC function can only increase the EPC pressure greater than what the PCM normally
commands. If an OSC value, such as (75) or (90) psi is sent, the upshifts and downshifts should
exhibit a firmer shift. Firmer shifts would indicate that the EPC pressure control is working at higher Klj . 6 ba

Using EPC in the BENCH MODE will confirm that the EPC is working at both the higher and lower
pressures.

Using Output State Control and Accessing PIDs
To confirm that the OSC value was sent by the scan tool and the EEC has accepted the OSC
substitution, a corresponding PID for each OSC parameter must be monitored. Additional PIDs should
be monitored to help the technician adequately diagnose the transmission.
The following is a list of OSC parameters and their corresponding PID:
To confirm that the OSC substitution occurred, SEND the OSC value and monitor the corresponding
PID value. If no ERROR MESSAGE was received and the value of the corresponding PID remains the
same as the value sent from OSC, then the OSC substitution was successful. OSC PARAMETER CHART OSC Parameter PID Additional PIDs

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Transmission Drive Cycle Test
NOTE:
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic
laws.
NOTE: The Transmission Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions must occur four
times consecutively for shift error DTC code to be set, and five times consecutively for continuous TCC
code to set.
NOTE: When carrying out the Transmission Drive Cycle Test, refer to the Solenoid Application Chart
for correct solenoid operation.
After carrying out the Quick Test, use the Transmission Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous
codes.
1. Record and then erase Quick Test codes.
2. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.
4. With transmission in OVERDRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the transmission to shift into fourth gear. Hold speed and throttle open steady for a
minimum of 15 seconds.
5. With transmission in fourth gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release brake to operate stoplamps. Then hold speed and throttle steady for a
minimum of five seconds.
6. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 at least five times.
8. Carry out Quick Test and record continuous DTCs. zIf the DTCs are still present, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart. Repair all non
transmission DTCs first as they can directly affect the operation of the transmission.
Repeat the Quick Test and the Road Test to verify the correction. Erase the DTCs, carry
out the Drive Cycle Test and repeat the Quick Test after completing repair on the DTC.
z If the continuous test passes and a concern is still present, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section, OASIS messages, and TSBs for concerns.
After On- Board Diagnostic
NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, PCM and non- transmission sensors may affect transmission
operations. Repair these concerns first.
After the on- board diagnostic procedures are completed, repair all DTCs.
Begin with non- transmission related DTCs, then repair any transmission related DTCs. Use the
diagnostic trouble code chart for information on condition and symptoms. This chart will be helpful in
referring to the correct manual(s) and aids in diagnosing internal transmission concerns and external
non- transmission inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing transmission electrical concerns.
Make sure that the vehicle wiring harness and the PCM are diagnosed as well. The Powertrain SECTION 307-

Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual will aid in diagnosing non-
transmission electronic
components.
Before Pinpoint Tests
NOTE: Prior to entering pinpoint tests, check the PCM wiring harness for tight connections, bent or
broken pins, corrosion, loose wires, correct routing, correct seals and their condition. Check the PCM,
sensors and actuators for damage. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
manual.
NOTE: If a concern still exists after electrical diagnosis has been carried out, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
If DTCs appear while carrying out the on- board diagnostics, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Charts for the appropriate repair procedure. Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to any TSBs and
OASIS messages for transmission concerns. Klj . 2 ba
