Using Output State Control and Monitoring PIDs

To confirm that the output state control value was sent by the scan tool and the PCM has accepted the output state control command, a corresponding PID for each output state control parameter must be monitored. After SENDING the output state control value, the corresponding PID value should be the same as the output state control value that was sent. Additional PIDs are listed that may be monitored to help the technician accurately diagnose the transaxle.

The following is a list of output state control parameters and their corresponding PIDs:
