NOTE: TR sensor and VSS must be operational to enter Output State Control (OSC) modes. No DTCs may be present for TR and VSS sensors before entering OSC modes.

OSC modes allow control of some parameters for specific operation. OSC has 2 modes of operation: Bench Mode and Drive Mode. Each mode has a unique set of vehicle operation requirements that must be met before OSC operation will be allowed. If vehicle requirements are not met, an error message will be displayed and OSC mode will be aborted. Follow OSC PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES before entering into OSC modes.
