Using Output State Control (OSC) and Accessing PIDs
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To confirm that the OSC value was sent by the scan tool and the PCM 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:
PID CHART
| Corresponding PID | PID Description |
|---|---|
| BPP | Brake pedal position switch ON/OFF |
| PCA | Pressure control solenoid A - commanded pressure |
| PCB | Pressure control solenoid B - commanded pressure |
| PCC | Pressure control solenoid C - commanded pressure |
| FIRMST | Firm shift control (FMC) status requested by OSC; 0 = FSC not commanded by OSC, NGS PID output = OFF; 1 = FSC commanded by OSC, NGS PID output = ON |
| GEAR | Commanded transmission gear (use in DRIVE only) |
| RPS | Pinpoint test for REVERSE pressure switch; 0 = closed, 1 = open |
| FFG RPS | Instantaneous failure flag for REVERSE pressure switch; Failure = 1 |
| RPM | Engine revolutions per minute |
| SSA | Shift solenoid A commanded ON |
| SSB | Shift solenoid B commanded ON |
| SSC | Shift solenoid C commanded ON |
| SSD | Shift solenoid D commanded ON |
| TCC | Torque converter commanded duty cycles (%) |
| TCCRAT | Torque converter speed ratio (RPM and/or TSS) |
| TFT | Transmission fluid temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) |
| VSS | Vehicle speed (mph) |
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 is the same as the value sent from OSC, then the OSC substitution was successful.
