Using Output State Control and Monitoring PIDs

To confirm that the output state control command was sent by the scan tool and the PCM has accepted the output state control command, a corresponding PID for each output state control parameter must be monitored. After sending the output state control command, the corresponding PID value should be the same as the output state control command. Additional PIDs should be monitored to help the technician accurately diagnose the transmission. The following is a list of PIDs to monitor while using output state control.
