time). This value is only accurate if the shift was adaptable.

valve assembly is currently commanded On or Off. The solenoid commanded state

requested).
A/C Clutch: Displays On or Off. This parameter indicates the commanded state
of the A/C control relay. The clutch should be engaged when On displays.
Adaptable Shift: Displays a range of 0-4. When an upshift is initiated, a
number of contingencies are checked to determine if the actual shift time
is valid to compare to a desired shift time. If all of these contingencies
are met during the entire shift, then the shift is considered valid and the
adapt function may be utilized. There are also, however, separate modifiers
to the adapt function that are used to provide a greater adaptive system
response for a particular shift condition. The normal adaptive validation
contingencies do not apply for these modifiers. The numbers displayed in
this parameter indicate if the last shift met the normal validation contingencies
to enable the adapt function or if the last shift required a special adaptive
modifier. Zero (0) indicates that the last shift did not
meet the normal validation contingencies to enable the adapt
function. One (1) indicates that a run-through shift condition was detected
during the last shift and the subsequent adaptive modification took place.
A run-through shift signifies a very short shift time. Two (2) indicates
that a long shift delay was detected during the last shift and the adaptive
modification occurred. A shift delay is determined from the time that the
PCM commands the shift until the start of the engine RPM drop. Three (3)
indicates that an extra long shift time was detected during the last shift
and the adaptive modification occurred. The shift time is calculated from
the beginning of the engine RPM drop to the beginning of the engine RPM
increase. Four (4) indicates that the last shift did not meet the normal
validation contingencies to enable the adapt function. Shift times are only
accurate when 4 is displayed.

to 419°F). The IAT sensor is a thermistor that is used to monitor the
temperature of the air entering the intake manifold. The VCM applies 5 volts
to the sensor on a 5 volt reference circuit. When the air is cool,
the resistance in the sensor will be high. If the air is warm, the sensor
resistance will be low and the VCM will sense a low voltage signal. The VCM
converts the signal of the IAT sensor to degrees Celsius. Intake air temperature
is used by the VCM to adjust fuel delivery and spark timing.
Ignition Voltage: Displays a range of 0.0-25.5 V. This represents the
system voltage measured by the VCM at its ignition feed.

that was added to base line pressure in order to adjust the apply effort of
a clutch or a band during the last adapting shift.

PC Solenoid Duty Cycle: Displays a range of 0-100%. This parameter is the commanded
state of the pressure control solenoid expressed as a percent of energized
ON time. A reading of 0% indicates zero ON time (non-energized) or no current
flow. Approximately 60% at idle indicates maximum ON time (energized) or high
current flow.
PC Sol. Ref. (Reference) Current: Displays a range of 0.00-1.10 amps. This parameter
is the commanded current of the pressure control solenoid circuit. Zero amp
(no current flow) indicates commanded higher line pressure. Commanded lower

commanded state. This commanded state is applied at a vehicle speed between
approximately 0-16 km/h (0-10 mph).
TCC Duty Cycle Open/Short to GND: Displays Yes or No. This parameter indicates whether an open or
a short to ground exists in the TCC PWM solenoid valve feedback signal
to the VCM. This parameter is valid only when the TCC PWM solenoid
is commanded OFF (duty cycle is 0%).

voltage exists in the TCC PWM solenoid valve feedback signal to the
VCM. This parameter is valid only when the TCC PWM solenoid is commanded
ON (duty cycle is at maximum).

voltage exists in the TCC solenoid valve feedback signal to the VCM. This
parameter is valid only when the TCC solenoid is commanded ON.
TCC Mode: Displays a range of 0 through 5. Zero (0) or Off Mode indicates
that the VCM commands the TCC OFF at a calibrated minimum throttle. The calibrated
minimum throttle is different at low vehicle speeds than it is at high vehicle
speeds. Off Mode is also active when the transmission is in the wrong gear
range, the engine or the transmission is cold, the brake input indicates that
the brakes are ON, a downshift or upshift is initiated, the engine is at idle,
the transmission is in Hot Mode or a misfire is detected. One (1) or Release
Mode indicates that the VCM commands the release of the TCC. Two (2) or Apply
Mode indicates that the VCM commands the apply of the TCC. Apply pressure
varies based on normal or performance operations, hot conditions or if the
cruise control is active. Apply Mode is used under normal driving conditions.
All apply pressure is dependent on throttle position and vehicle speed. Three
(3) or Apply Enable Mode indicates that enabling conditions are met for applying
the TCC (enabling conditions include vehicle speed, gear selection, transmission
temperature, throttle angle, brake switch status, etc.). Four (4) or Locked
Mode indicates that the VCM commands full capacity of the TCC when the transmission
is in fourth gear and the vehicle speed is greater than a calibrated value.
When variable TCC apply pressure stops (Apply Mode), maximum TCC pressure
is used. Five (5) or Coast Mode indicates that the VCM commands apply of the
TCC when the transmission is in fourth gear and the throttle and vehicle speed
are not high enough to enable Apply Mode, but high enough to keep the TCC
applied. When Coast Mode is active, TCC apply pressure is set to a predetermined
amount.

is the difference between transmission output speed and engine speed. A negative
value indicates that the engine speed is less than the output speed (deceleration).
A positive value indicates that the engine speed is greater than the output
speed (acceleration). A value of zero indicates that the engine speed is equal
to the output speed (TCC applied).

TFT (Transmission Fluid Temperature) Sensor: Displays a range of 0.00-5.00 V. When the transmission
fluid is cold, the sensor resistance is high and the VCM will sense high signal
voltage. As the transmission fluid temperature warms to a normal operating
temperature, the sensor resistance becomes less and the voltage decreases.
Tow/Haul Mode: Displays Active or Inactive. This parameter indicates when the
transmission is operating in a towing or hauling mode. In tow/haul mode, the
VCM commands a different shift pattern that increases performance when towing
or hauling. Shift quality and TCC scheduling are also affected during tow/haul
mode operation.
