Using Output State Control (OSC) and Monitoring PIDs

To confirm that the OSC value was sent by the NGS and the PCM has accepted the OSC command, a corresponding PID for each OSC parameter must be monitored. After sending the OSC value, the corresponding PID value should be the same as the OSC value. Additional PIDs should be monitored to help the technician accurately diagnose the transmission. The following is a list of PIDs to monitor while using OSC.

SSA SS1 SS1F
SSB SS2 SS2F
LINEDSD LINEDSD EPC
OSCTCC OSCTCC TCC, TCCF, TCCCMD, TCCACT
