SSC, SSD and SSE in Bench Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The BENCH Mode is also used to test the functionality of pulse width modulated solenoids of the transaxle. During Bench Mode, the SSC/D/E solenoids can ramp in increments of 25% from 0% to 100% duty cycle and 100% to 0% duty cycle.
The OSC functions for the parameters SSC/D/E allow the technician to choose the following options:
- SSC - Activates SSC to selected values.
- SSD - Activates SSD to selected values.
- SSE - Activates SSE to selected values.
- 00 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 00%.
- 25 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 25%.
- 50 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 50%.
- 75 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 75%.
- 100 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 100%.
OSC "SSC/D/E" BENCH Mode operates ONLY when:
- VSS and TR sensor are operational.
- No VSS and TR sensor DTCs.
- Transaxle range selector level in P.
- Key ON.
- Engine ON.
- Engine speed at least 1,500 RPM.
- Pressure gauge installed (optional).
OSC Command Values:
- 00 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 00%.
- 25 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 25%.
- 50 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 50%.
- 75 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 75%.
- 100 - sets SSC/D/E duty cycle to 100%.
- XXX - cancels OSC value sent.
- SEND - sends the values to PCM.
