10. If the vehicle stalls in (D) or manual 2 at idle with vehicle at a stop, move the transmission range
selector lever to manual 1 position. If the vehicle stalls, see torque converter operation
concerns. For additional information, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section. If the
vehicle does not stall in (D), refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
11. If the vehicle exhibits a vibration during the road test, complete the Road Test Evaluation Form. This form will aid the technician in determining the source of the vibration.
NOTE: The following is a list of common vehicle concerns that have been misdiagnosed as torque
converter clutch shudder. For diagnosis of the following items refer to the appropriate sections of the
workshop manual and the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
zspark plugs - check for cracks, high resistance or broken insulators
z plug wires
z fuel injector - filter may be plugged
z fuel contamination - poor engine performance
z EGR valve - valve may let in too much exhaust gas and cause engine to run lean
z vacuum leak - engine will not get correct air/fuel mixture
z MAP/MAF sensor - incorrect air/fuel mixture
z HO2S sensor - too rich/lean air/fuel mixture
z fuel pressure - may be too low
z engine mounts - loose/damaged mounts can cause vibration concerns
z axle joints - check for vibration Torque Converter Road Evaluation Form

z Make sure that the vehicle speed sensor and digital TR sensors are functional.
z Select "Active Command Modes."
z Select "Trans - Bench Mode or Trans - Drive Mode."
OSC — Transmission Bench Modes
The following Transmission Bench Modes may be used or required during diagnostics.
SSA, SSB and TCC in BENCH MODE
The BENCH MODE allows the technician to carry out electrical circuit checks on the following
components:
zSSA - activates SSA OFF or ON.
z SSB - activates SSB OFF or ON.
z Transmission converter clutch (TCC) - activates TCC OFF or ON.
OSC "SSA, SSB, TCC" BENCH MODE operates ONLY when:
zthe digital TR sensor is operational and no digital TR sensor DTCs are present.
z the vehicle speed input is operational and no VSS sensor DTCs are present.
z the transmission range selector lever is in P.
z the key is ON.
z the engine is OFF.
OSC Command Values
zOFF - turns solenoid OFF.
z ON - turns solenoid ON.
z XXX - cancels OSC value sent.
z SEND - sends the values to PCM.
BENCH MODE Procedure for SSA, SSB and TCC
Follow operating instructions from the scan tool menu screen:
zSelect "Output State Control."
z Select "Trans - Bench Mode."
z Select "PIDs" to be monitored.
z Monitor all selected PIDs during test.
z Select "Parameters - SSA, SSB or TCC."

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.
