SSC, SSD and SSE in Bench Mode

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.

BENCH Mode procedure for SSC, SSD and SSE

Follow operating instructions from the scan tool menu screen:

• Select "Output State Control."
• Select "Trans-Bench Mode."
• Select "PIDS" to be monitored.
• Monitor all selected PIDs during test.
• Select "Parameters - SSC, SSD, SSE."
• Select Value "0-100 percent."
• Press "SEND" to send command.
• Select "XXX" to cancel at any time.
• Press "SEND" to send command.
