EPC in BENCH MODE
The BENCH MODE is also used to test the functionality of the transmission's electronic pressure
control. During BENCH MODE, the electronic pressure control (EPC) solenoid can ramp up/down in
increments of 103 kPa (15 psi) from zero to 620 kPa (90 psi) and 620 kPa (90 psi) to zero psi.
The OSC functions for the parameter EPC allows the technician to choose the following options:
zEPC - activates EPC to selected values.
z 00 - sets EPC pressure to 00 kPa (00 psi).
z 15 - sets EPC pressure to 103 kPa (15 psi).
z 30 - sets EPC pressure to 206 kPa (30 psi).
z 45 - sets EPC pressure to 310 kPa (45 psi).
z 60 - sets EPC pressure to 411 kPa (60 psi).
z 75 - sets EPC pressure to 517 kPa (75 psi).
z 90 - sets EPC pressure to 620 kPa (90 psi).
To carry out an EPC BENCH MODE pressure functionality test, install a pressure gauge in the EPC
port. The following requirements are required to carry out this test:
zVSS and digital TR sensor operational
z No VSS and digital TR sensor DTCs
z Transmission range selector lever in P
z Key ON
z Engine ON
z Engine speed at least 1,500 rpm for accurate EPC pressure measurement
To carry out an EPC BENCH MODE solenoid circuit pinpoint test, the following requirements are

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
Transmission Drive Cycle Test
NOTE:
Always drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic
laws.
NOTE: The Transmission Drive Cycle Test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions must occur four
times consecutively for shift error DTC code to be set, and five times consecutively for continuous TCC
code to set.
NOTE: When carrying out the Transmission Drive Cycle Test, refer to the Solenoid Application Chart
for correct solenoid operation.
After carrying out the Quick Test, use the Transmission Drive Cycle Test for checking continuous
codes.
1. Record and then erase Quick Test codes.
2. Warm engine to normal operating temperature.
3. Make sure transmission fluid level is correct.
4. With transmission in OVERDRIVE, moderately accelerate from stop to 80 km/h (50 mph). This allows the transmission to shift into fourth gear. Hold speed and throttle open steady for a
minimum of 15 seconds.
5. With transmission in fourth gear and maintaining steady speed and throttle opening, lightly apply and release brake to operate stoplamps. Then hold speed and throttle steady for a
minimum of five seconds.
6. Brake to a stop and remain stopped for a minimum of 20 seconds.
7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 at least five times.
8. Carry out Quick Test and record continuous DTCs. zIf the DTCs are still present, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart. Repair all non
transmission DTCs first as they can directly affect the operation of the transmission.
Repeat the Quick Test and the Road Test to verify the correction. Erase the DTCs, carry
out the Drive Cycle Test and repeat the Quick Test after completing repair on the DTC.
z If the continuous test passes and a concern is still present, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section, OASIS messages, and TSBs for concerns.
After On- Board Diagnostic
NOTE: The vehicle wiring harness, PCM and non- transmission sensors may affect transmission
operations. Repair these concerns first.
After the on- board diagnostic procedures are completed, repair all DTCs.
Begin with non- transmission related DTCs, then repair any transmission related DTCs. Use the
diagnostic trouble code chart for information on condition and symptoms. This chart will be helpful in
referring to the correct manual(s) and aids in diagnosing internal transmission concerns and external
non- transmission inputs. The pinpoint tests are used in diagnosing transmission electrical concerns.
Make sure that the vehicle wiring harness and the PCM are diagnosed as well. The Powertrain SECTION 307-

Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual will aid in diagnosing non-
transmission electronic
components.
Before Pinpoint Tests
NOTE: Prior to entering pinpoint tests, check the PCM wiring harness for tight connections, bent or
broken pins, corrosion, loose wires, correct routing, correct seals and their condition. Check the PCM,
sensors and actuators for damage. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
manual.
NOTE: If a concern still exists after electrical diagnosis has been carried out, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
If DTCs appear while carrying out the on- board diagnostics, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Charts for the appropriate repair procedure. Prior to entering pinpoint tests, refer to any TSBs and
OASIS messages for transmission concerns. Klj . 2 ba
