Output state control using the scan tool allows the technician to easily and quickly control the main functions and components of this transmission. Output state control is used to help test the electrical, hydraulic or mechanical concerns related to the transmission. The scan tool also provides PID information, along with the output state control functions, to accurately diagnose the transmission. For example, output state control allows the technician to shift the transmission, engage the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC), command line pressure or turn a solenoid OFF and ON.
