SSA, SSB and TCC in BENCH MODE

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

These OSC functions are used to command SSA, SSB and TCC solenoids OFF and ON when carrying out an electrical circuit check.

The OSC functions for parameters SSA, SSB and TCC allow the technician to choose the following options:

OFF - Directs PCM to command the solenoid OFF
ON - Directs PCM to command the solenoid ON
XXX - Cancels OSC command for that particular solenoid (returns to normal operation)

The requirements for SENDING an OSC value for SSA, SSB or TCC are as follows:

Key on and engine not running or key on and engine running at idle
Gear selector in PARK or NEUTRAL

The vehicle requirements must be met when sending the OSC value for SSA, SSB and TCC solenoids. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the OSC value, an error message will appear. When the error message is received, OSC is aborted and must be restarted. After sending the OSC value, if the vehicle requirements are no longer met, the error message will not appear but the OSC value will be cancelled by the PCM (monitor corresponding PID). The OSC value XXX may be sent anytime to cancel OSC.
