Test Equipment

A tachometer, test light, Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, vacuum gauge, and jumper wires are required to test and diagnose electronic transmission control system. A scan tester may also be used to access data parameters. Tester will supply a visual reading of most inputs, and some outputs, to the PCM/TCM. Some diagnostic flow charts require the use of a bidirectional (Tech 1) scan tester.
