Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Output State Control (OSC) Mode: Notes
Output State Control (OSC) allows the technician to take control of certain parameters to function the transaxle. For example, OSC allows the technician to shift the transaxle only when commanding a gear change. If the technician commands 1st gear in OSC, the transaxle will remain in 1st gear until the technician commands the next gear. For another example, the technician can command a shift solenoid to turn on or off when carrying out an electrical circuit check. OSC has two modes of operation for transaxle, the BENCH MODE and the DRIVE MODE. Each mode/parameter has a unique set of vehicle operating requirements that the technician must meet before being allowed to operate OSC.
