Output State Control - Bench Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2009 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Bench Mode is functional only when the selector lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL. The Bench Mode may be used when the engine is either running or not running. The Bench Mode allows the technician to function the following components:

Shift Solenoid A (SSA) - Directs PCM to command SSA OFF or ON
Shift Solenoid B (SSB) - Directs PCM to command SSB OFF or ON
TCC - Directs PCM to command the TCC from 0% duty cycle to 100% duty cycle
LINEDSD# - Directs PCM to command line pressure from 234 kPa to 1.5 MPa (34 psi to 217 psi). The PCM will command the appropriate Electronic Pressure Control (EPC) current to obtain the commanded line pressure.
