Shift Solenoid A (SSA), Shift Solenoid B (SSB) and Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) in 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.

These output state control functions are used to command SSA#, SSB# and TCC# solenoids OFF and ON when carrying out an electrical circuit check.

The output state control functions for parameters SSA#, SSB# and TCC# allow the technician to choose the following options:

OFF - Directs PCM to command the solenoid OFF
ON - Directs PCM to command the solenoid ON

The requirements for SENDING an output state control command for SSA#, SSB# or TCC# are as follows:

Key on and engine not running or key on and engine running at idle
Selector lever in PARK or NEUTRAL

The vehicle requirements must be met when sending the output state control command for SSA#, SSB# and TCC# solenoids. If the vehicle requirements are not met when sending the output state control command, the command will be cancelled. If after sending the output state control command the vehicle requirements are no longer met, the output state control command will be cancelled.
