WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Sable and 2005 Ford Taurus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The BENCH MODE is functional ONLY when the vehicle gear selector is in PARK or NEUTRAL. The BENCH MODE may be used when the engine is either ON (running) or OFF (not running). The BENCH MODE allows the technician to function the following components:

SS2 - Directs PCM to command Shift Solenoid 2 OFF or ON
SS3 - Directs PCM to command Shift Solenoid 43 OFF or ON
TCC - Directs PCM to command the Torque Converter Solenoid OFF or ON (OFF = 0% duty cycle and ON = 100% duty cycle)
LINEPDSD - Directs PCM to command line pressure to either 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225 or 250 PSI. The PCM will command the appropriate EPC current to obtain the commanded line pressure.
