Test Modes
Tech 2 has six test modes for diagnosing the transmission. To get to these various test modes, on Tech 2 select:
Diagnostics / Model Year / Model / Vehicle Type / Transmission / Automatic Transmission
and follow Tech 2’s prompts. This will then display the following menu operations.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes
If Diagnostic Trouble Codes is selected, a selection list is displayed which contains:
• Read DTC Information – Once selected, both current and history diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the
transmission control module will be displayed.
• Clear Engine & Transmission DTC(s) – Once selected, DTCs stored in the transmission control module (TCM)
and engine control module (ECM) memory may be cleared.
• Freeze Frame / Failure Records – Shows Freeze Frame / Failure Records information. Freeze Frame / Failure
Records are types of snapshots stored in the memory of the TCM and contain data parameters from the TCM at
the time the DTC set.
NOTE
For a complete list of TCM DTCs, refer to
4.8 Diagnostic Trouble Code List. For
further information on Tech 2 and it functions,
refer to 0C Tech 2.
Data Display
If Data Display is selected, a selection list is displayed which contains:
• Transmission Data – Once is selected, a list of transmission components and the TCM inputs are displayed along
with their status.
• TCC Data – Once selected, displays specific parameter information about the torque converter clutch controlling
devices and their circuits.
• 1-2 Shift Data – Once selected, displays specific parameter information about the 1-2 shift solenoid valve (shift
solenoid A) and its circuits.

• Gear Control – Tech 2 can incrementally command shift solenoid states to correspond to relative gear states. The
TCM will only allow single shift increments or decrements and does not allow a shift if it causes the engine RPM to
exceed a calibrated limit.
• Pressure Control Solenoid – This function allows the user to control state of the pressure control solenoid in
increments of 100 mA.

Programming
If Programming is selected, a selection list is displayed which contains:
• Reset TAP Cells – This test allows the user to reset the Transmission Adapt (TAP) cells by pressing the Reset soft
key.
NOTE
Upon resetting the TAP cells the TCM loses all
learnt adaptive functions. When the vehicle is first
driven after this, the shifts may be harsh. This
harshness will ease as the TCM relearns the TAP
cells.

3.3 Tech 2 Data Definitions
1-2 Shift Error: This parameter displays the difference between the desired 1-2 shift time and the actual 1-2 shift time. A
positive number indicates a firm or fast shift and the actual shift time was shorter than the desired shift time. A negative
number indicates a soft or slow shift and the actual shift time was longer than the desired shift time. This value is only
accurate if the shift was adaptable.
1-2 Shift Time: This parameter displays the actual time of the last 1-2 shift. The shift time is based on the engine r.p.m.
drop after the commanded 1-2 shift. This value is only accurate if the shift was adaptable.
1-2 TAP Cell (1-17): This parameter displays the amount of transmission adaptive pressure (TAP), based on 17 Nm of
engine torque increment per cell, added to or subtracted from shift pressure during a 1-2 upshift. A positive number
indicates that long shifts have been detected and PC solenoid pressure has been added to decrease shift time. A
negative number indicates that short shifts have been detected and PC solenoid pressure has been subtracted to
increase shift time.
2-3 Shift Error: This parameter displays the difference between the desired 2-3 shift time and the actual 2-3 shift time. A
positive number indicates a firm or fast shift, the actual shift time was shorter than the desired shift time. A negative
number indicates a soft or slow shift, the actual shift time was longer than the desired shift time. This value is only
accurate if the shift was adaptable.
2-3 Shift Time: This parameter displays the actual time of the last 2-3 shift. The shift time is based on the engine r.p.m
drop after the commanded 2-3 shift. This value is only accurate if the shift was adaptable.
2-3 TAP Cell (1-17): This parameter displays the amount of transmission adaptive pressure (TAP), based on 17 Nm of
engine torque increment per cell, added to or subtracted from shift pressure during a 2-3 upshift. A positive number

negative number indicates that short shifts have been detected and PC solenoid pressure has been subtracted to
increase shift time.
3-4 Shift Error: This parameter displays the difference between the desired 3-4 shift time and the actual 3-4 shift time. A

accurate if the shift was adaptable.
3-4 Shift Time: This parameter displays the actual time of the last 3-4 shift. The shift time is based on the engine r.p.m.
drop after the commanded 3-4 shift. This value is only accurate if the shift was adaptable.
3-4 TAP Cell (1-17): This parameter displays the amount of transmission adaptive pressure (TAP), based on 17 Nm of
engine torque increment per cell, added to or subtracted from shift pressure during a 3-4 upshift. A positive number
