DTC Test

DTC Test

The TCM performs a series of “diagnostic tests” to determine if a failure has occurred. Diagnostic Tests are performed when specific transmission operating conditions occur. The DTC Test Screen displays all application-supported DTCs and indicates the failure status of the Diagnostic Test since clear code, and since powerup. The following table describes each state:

The DTC Test screen allows the technician to determine the status of a DTC test. For example, after fixing the problem causing a DTC, the technician must know the status of a DTC test in order to make sure that the failure condition was effectively corrected.
