Output State Control (OSC) Mode


On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)

Output state control allows the technician to take control of certain parameters to function the transmission.

Output state control allows the technician to shift the transmission when commanding a gear change.

Another example of the output state control features is, the technician can command the torque converter ON or OFF to check operation.

This transmission output state control has one mode of operation; DRIVE. This mode has a unique set of operating requirements that the technician must meet before allowed to operate the torque converter or select gears.
