Scan Tool Output Control

Additional Menu Selection(s)

Description

1-2 Solenoid

•

The transmission control module (TCM) commands the 1-2 shift solenoid valve ON and OFF. The scan tool 1-2 Sol. parameter should match the commanded state. The scan tool Commanded Gear parameter should correspond with the shift solenoid combination. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	Only sequential gear changes are allowed. For example, 1st to 3rd is not allowed. If a non-sequential gear change is attempted, the message "Non-sequential gear changes not allowed. Gear changes must be in order" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The vehicle speed must be below a calibrated value. If the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Vehicle speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The engine speed must be below a calibrated value. If the engine speed is too high, the message "Engine speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	Downshifts are allowed only when the vehicle speed is below a calibrated value. If the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Eng. is on and veh. speed too hi for 3-2 or 2-1 downshift" appears on the scan tool display.

The gear requested may not be greater than the current selected transmission range (PRNDL). For example, 3rd gear is not allowed if the transmission range is D2. If the gear requested is greater than the current selected transmission range, the message "Eng. running and gear request is greater than the current TR" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

2-3 Solenoid

•	The TCM commands the 2-3 shift solenoid valve ON and OFF. The scan tool 2-3 Sol. parameter should match the commanded state. The scan tool Commanded Gear parameter should correspond with the shift solenoid combination. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid will remain ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	Only sequential gear changes are allowed. For example, 1st to 3rd is not allowed. If a non-sequential gear change is attempted, the message "Non-sequential gear changes not allowed. Gear changes must be in order" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The vehicle speed must be below a calibrated value. If the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Vehicle speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The engine speed must be below a calibrated value. If the engine speed is too high, the message "Engine speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	Downshifts are allowed only when the vehicle speed is below a calibrated value. If the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Eng. is on and veh. speed too hi for 3-2 or 2-1 downshift" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

3-2 Downshift Solenoid

•	The TCM commands the 3-2 shift solenoid valve ON and OFF. The scan tool 3-2 Downshift Sol. parameter should match the commanded state.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	The transmission range (PRNDL) must be in Park or Neutral. If the transmission range is not in Park or Neutral, the message "Engine running and transmission range is not Park/Neutral" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

Clear TAPS (Transmission Adaptive Pressures)

•	The TCM clears (or resets) the TAP cells to the original base value.

•	There are no limits to using this output control. It may be performed with the engine running or when the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF.

PC Solenoid

•

The TCM commands the amperage (current) to the pressure control solenoid in order to control transmission line pressure. As the amperage increases, the line pressure decreases. As the amperage decreases, the line pressure increases. The amperage range is 0.00-1.10 and may be commanded in one-tenth amp increments.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, the reference (commanded) amperage may be controlled within calibrated limits. The scan tool parameter "PC Sol. Ref. Current" changes but the parameter "PC Sol. Actual Current" does not change. The reference current remains until commanded otherwise.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

When the transmission range is Park or Neutral, the reference (commanded) amperage may be controlled within calibrated limits. The engine speed must be less than 1,500 RPM. If the engine speed is greater than 1,500 RPM, the message "TR in park/neutral and engine speed over 1,500 RPM" appears on the scan tool display. Both the scan tool parameters "PC Sol. Ref. Current" and "PC Sol. Actual Current" change. Both current readings remain until commanded otherwise.

When the transmission range is not in Park or Neutral, the reference amperage can only be controlled less than the current determined by the TCM. The TCM does not allow a value to be selected that may cause damage to the transmission. If the requested amperage is more than allowed by the TCM, the message "Requested current for the PC Solenoid is too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmission range DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmission DTC present" appears on the scan tool display.

Shift Transmission

•	The TCM commands upshifts and downshifts. The scan tool Commanded Gear parameter should correspond with the shift solenoid combination. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The scan tool shift solenoid states change to match the Commanded Gear selected.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	The TCM does not allow a shift if it causes the engine RPM to exceed a calibrated limit. If a gear is requested and the engine speed is too high, the message "Engine speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCM does not allow a 3-2 or 2-1 downshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If either downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Eng. is on and veh. speed too hi for 3-2 or 2-1 downshift" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCM does not allow a 4-3 downshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If a 4-3 downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Vehicle speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCM does not allow an upshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If an upshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Vehicle speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

The TCM does not allow an upshift that is greater than the current selected transmission range (PRNDL). For example 3rd gear is not allowed if the transmission range is D2. If an upshift is requested that is greater than the current selected transmission range, the message "Eng. running and gear request is greater than the current TR" appears on the scan tool display.

TCC Control Solenoid

•

The TCM commands the duty cycle of the torque converter clutch (TCC) pulse width modulation (PWM) solenoid. The duty cycle is represented by a percentage of ON (energised) time. Approximately 90-100 percent duty cycle represents an ON (energised) commanded state. Zero percent represents an OFF (non-energised) commanded state. The scan tool TCC Duty Cycle parameter should match the commanded state.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON (90-100 percent duty cycle) until commanded OFF (zero percent duty cycle), and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid duty cycle is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	If the transmission range is Park, and the transmission is in hot mode, the TCC control solenoid may not be commanded OFF. If the solenoid is requested OFF, the message "TCC OFF command disabled in Hot Mode" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCC control solenoid may not be commanded OFF for more than a calibrated amount of time. If the solenoid is commanded OFF for a certain amount of time, the message "TCC OFF time has been exceeded" appears on the scan tool display.

TCC Enable

•	The TCM commands the TCC enable solenoid valve ON and OFF. The scan tool TCC Enable parameter should match the commanded state.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	If the transmission range is Park or Neutral, the TCC enable solenoid may not be commanded OFF for more than a calibrated amount of time. If the solenoid is commanded OFF for a certain amount of time, the message "TCC OFF time has been exceeded" appears on the scan tool display.

If the transmission range is Park or Neutral and the TCC control solenoid duty cycle is less than maximum capacity, the TCC enable solenoid may not be commanded ON. If the solenoid is requested ON during these conditions, the message "TCC Control Solenoid is not set to maximum Pressure" appears on the scan tool display.

-	If the TCC control solenoid duty cycle is less than maximum capacity, the TCC enable solenoid may not be commanded ON. If the solenoid is commanded ON during these conditions the message "TCC Control Solenoid is not set to maximum Pressure" appears on the scan tool display.

-	If the transmission is in hot mode, the TCC enable solenoid may not be commanded OFF. If the solenoid is requested OFF the message "TCC OFF command disabled in Hot Mode" appears on the scan tool display.

Reset Transmission Adapts

•	The TCM clears, or resets, all Transmission Adapt Parameter (TAP) cells to zero.

•	There are no limits to using this control. It may be performed with the engine running or when the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF.

Reset Transmission Oil Life

•	The TCM resets the amount of oil life remaining to 100 percent.

•	There are no limits to using this output control. It may be performed with the engine running or when the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF.

PC Solenoid

•

The TCM commands the amperage to the pressure control solenoid in order to control transmission line pressure. As the amperage increases, the line pressure decreases. As the amperage decreases, the line pressure increases. The amperage range is 0.10-1.10 and may be commanded in one-tenth amp increments.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, the reference, commanded, amperage may be controlled within calibrated limits. The scan tool parameter "PC Sol. Ref. Current" changes, but the parameter "PC Sol. Actual Current" does not change. The reference current remains until commanded otherwise.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

When the transmission range is Park or Neutral, the reference, commanded, amperage may be controlled within calibrated limits. The engine speed must be less than 1,500 RPM. If the engine speed is greater than 1,500 RPM, the message "TR in park/neutral and engine speed over 1,500 RPM" appears on the scan tool display. Both the scan tool parameters "PC Sol. Ref. Current" and "PC Sol. Actual Current" change. Both current readings remain until commanded otherwise.

-	Transmission Internal Mode Switch (IMS) DTCs must not be active. If a transmission IMS DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmission DTC present" appears on the scan tool display.

Shift Transmission

•	The TCM commands upshifts and downshifts. The scan tool Commanded Gear parameter should correspond with the shift solenoid combination. Refer to Shift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratio.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The scan tool shift solenoid states change to match the Commanded Gear selected.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	The TCM does not allow a shift if it causes the engine RPM to exceed a calibrated limit. If a gear is requested and the engine speed is too high, the message "Engine speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCM does not allow a 3-2 or 2-1 downshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If either downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Eng. is on and veh. speed too hi for 3-2 or 2-1 downshift" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCM does not allow a 4-3 downshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If a 4-3 downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Vehicle speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCM does not allow an upshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If an upshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, the message "Vehicle speed too high" appears on the scan tool display.

The TCM does not allow an upshift that is greater than the current selected transmission range. For example 3rd gear is not allowed if the transmission range is D2. If an upshift is requested that is greater than the current selected transmission range, the message "Eng. running and gear request is greater than the current TR" appears on the scan tool display.

TCC Control Solenoid

•

The TCM commands the duty cycle of the TCC PWM solenoid. The duty cycle is represented by a percentage of ON, energised, time. Approximately 90-100 percent duty cycle represents an ON, energised, commanded state. Zero percent represents an OFF, non-energised, commanded state. The scan tool TCC Duty Cycle parameter should match the commanded state.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON, 90-100 percent duty cycle until commanded OFF, zero percent duty cycle, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid duty cycle is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	If the transmission range is Park, and the transmission is in hot mode, the TCC control solenoid may not be commanded OFF. If the solenoid is requested OFF, the message "TCC OFF command disabled in Hot Mode" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCC control solenoid may not be commanded OFF for more than a calibrated amount of time. If the solenoid is commanded OFF, for a certain amount of time, the message "TCC OFF time has been exceeded" appears on the scan tool display.

High Side Driver 1

•	The TCM commands the driver for the solenoid voltage supply ON and OFF.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control.

•	High side driver 1 may not be commanded ON and OFF with the scan tool if the engine is running.

Description

TCC PC Solenoid

•	The transmission control module (TCM) commands the torque converter clutch pressure control (TCC PC) solenoid pressure in order to apply and release the TCC.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF and vice versa.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	If the transmission range is Park, and the transmission is in hot mode, the TCC PC solenoid may not be commanded OFF. If the solenoid is requested OFF, the message "TCC OFF command disabled in Hot Mode" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The TCC PC solenoid may not be commanded OFF for more than a calibrated amount of time. If the solenoid is commanded OFF, for a certain amount of time, the message "TCC OFF time has been exceeded" appears on the scan tool display.

Shift Solenoid 1

•	The TCM commands Shift Solenoid 1 and Shift Solenoid 2 ON and OFF.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

-	The transmission range must be in Park or Neutral. If the transmission range is not Park or Neutral, the message "Engine running and transmission range is not Park/Neutral" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

-	Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmission range DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmission DTC present" appears on the scan tool display.

Shift Solenoid 2

Line PC Solenoid

•	The scan tool is used to request pressure in increments of 207 kPa (30 psi) from 0-1862 kPa (0-270 psi). The TCM will then command the solenoid to achieve the requested pressure.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, the pressure request may be controlled within calibrated limits. There are no limits to the output control when the engine is OFF.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply:

When the transmission range is Park or Neutral, the pressure request may be controlled within calibrated limits. The engine speed must be less than 1,500 RPM. If the engine speed is greater than 1,500 RPM, the message "TR in park/neutral and engine speed over 1,500 RPM" appears on the scan tool display.

When the transmission range is not Park or Neutral, the requested pressure can only be controlled equal to or greater than the pressure determined by the TCM. The TCM does not allow a pressure to be selected that may cause damage to the transmission. If the requested pressure is less than allowed by the TCM, the message "Requested pressure for the Line PC Solenoid is too low" appears on the scan tool display.

-	Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmission range DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmission DTC present" appears on the scan tool display.

PC Solenoid 2

•	The TCM commands the pressure control solenoids in order to apply and release the clutches.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

•	When the engine is running, the following control limits apply

-	The transmission range must be in Park or Neutral. If the transmission range is not Park or Neutral, the message "Engine running and transmission range is not Park/Neutral" appears on the scan tool display.

-	The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determined by the TCM.

-	Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmission range DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmission DTC present" appears on the scan tool display.

PC Solenoid 3

PC Solenoid 4

PC Solenoid 5

High Side Driver 2

•	The TCM commands the driver for the solenoid voltage supply ON and OFF.

•	When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are no limits to this control.

•	High side drivers may not be commanded ON and OFF with the scan tool if the engine is running.
