| Table 1: | Scan Tool Data Parameters |
| Table 2: | Scan Tool Output Controls |
The Transmission Control Module Scan Tool Data List containsall transmission related parameters that are available on the scantool. The list is arranged in alphabetical order. A given parametermay appear in any one of the data lists, and in some cases mayappear more than once, or in more than one data list in order togroup certain related parameters together.
The values below represent a typical display recorded from aproperly functioning system.
Only the parameters listed below are used/referenced in thismanual for diagnosis. If a scan tool displays other parameters,those values are not recommended by General Motors for use indiagnosis.
If all values are within the expected range described below,refer toSymptoms - Automatic Transmissionfor diagnosis.
The scan tool values from a properly functioning transmissionmay be used for comparison with the transmission you arediagnosing. The values below represent a typical display recordedfrom a properly functioning system.

The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFFand vice versa.When the engine is running, the following control limitsapply:If the transmission range is Park, and the transmission is inhot mode, the TCC PC solenoid may not be commanded OFF. If thesolenoid is requested OFF, the message "TCC OFF command disabled inHot Mode" appears on the scan tool display.The TCC PC solenoid may not be commanded OFF for more than acalibrated amount of time. If the solenoid is commanded OFF, for acertain amount of time, the message "TCC OFF time has beenexceeded" appears on the scan tool display. |
Shift Solenoid | The TCM commands Shift Solenoid-1 and ShiftSolenoid-2 ON and OFF.When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are nolimits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commandedOFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, thesolenoid state is determined by the TCM.When the engine is running, the following control limitsapply:The transmission range must be in Park or Neutral. If thetransmission range is not Park or Neutral, the message "Enginerunning and transmission range is not Park/Neutral" appears on thescan tool display.The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa.When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determinedby the TCM.Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmissionrange DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmissionDTC present" appears on the scan tool display. |
Line PC Solenoid | The scan tool is used to request pressure in increments of200-kPa (30-psi) from200–2200-kPa(30–320-psi). The TCM will then command thesolenoid to achieve a pressure within a range based on therequested pressure. Refer toSolenoid Valve Pressure.When the ignition is ON, and the engine is ON, the pressurerequest may be controlled within calibrated limits. There are nolimits to the output control when the engine is OFF.When the engine is running, the following control limitsapply:When the transmission range is Park or Neutral, the pressurerequest may be controlled within calibrated limits. The enginespeed must be less than 1,500-RPM. If the engine speedis greater than 1,500-RPM, the message "TR inpark/neutral and engine speed over 1,500-RPM" appears onthe scan tool display.When the transmission range is not Park or Neutral, therequested pressure can only be controlled equal to or greater thanthe pressure determined by the TCM. The TCM does not allow apressure to be selected that may cause damage to the transmission.If the requested pressure is less than allowed by the TCM, themessage "Requested pressure for the Line PC Solenoid is too low"appears on the scan tool display.Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmissionrange DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmissionDTC present" appears on the scan tool display. |
Clutch PC Solenoids | The TCM commands the pressure control solenoids in order toapply and release the clutches.When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are nolimits to this control. The solenoid remains ON until commandedOFF, and vice versa. When the output control is exited, thesolenoid state is determined by the TCM.When the engine is running, the following control limitsapply:The transmission range must be in Park or Neutral. If thetransmission range is not Park or Neutral, the message "Enginerunning and transmission range is not Park/Neutral" appears on thescan tool display.The solenoid remains ON until commanded OFF, and vice versa.When the output control is exited, the solenoid state is determinedby the TCM.Transmission range DTCs must not be active. If a transmissionrange DTC is active, the message "Engine running with transmissionDTC present" appears on the scan tool display. |
Shift Transmission | The TCM commands upshifts and downshifts. The scan toolCommanded Gear parameter should correspond with the shift solenoidcombination. Refer to theShift Solenoid Valve State and Gear Ratiotable.When the ignition is ON, and the engine is OFF, there are nolimits to this control. The scan tool shift solenoid states changeto match the Commanded Gear selected.When the engine is running, the following control limitsapply:The TCM does not allow a shift if it causes the engine RPM toexceed a calibrated limit. If a gear is requested and the enginespeed is too high, the message “Engine speed toohigh” appears on the scan tool display.The TCM does not allow a 3–2 or 2–1downshift if the vehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. Ifeither downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high,the message “Eng. is on and veh. speed too hi for3–2 or 2–1 downshift” appears on thescan tool display.The TCM does not allow a 4–3 downshift if thevehicle speed exceeds a calibrated limit. If a 4–3downshift is requested and the vehicle speed is too high, themessage “Vehicle speed too high” appears on thescan tool display.The TCM does not allow an upshift if the vehicle speedexceeds a calibrated limit. If an upshift is requested and thevehicle speed is too high, the message “Vehicle speed toohigh” appears on the scan tool display.The TCM does not allow an upshift that is greater than thecurrent selected transmission range (PRNDL). For example, 3rd gearis not allowed if the transmission range is D2. If an upshift isrequested that is greater than the current selected transmissionrange, the message “Eng. running and gear request isgreater than the current TR” appears on the scan tooldisplay. |
