  2. F2 DRIVE CYCLE TEST 
    • While monitoring the appropriate sensor PID, drive the vehicle so that the transaxle upshifts and downshifts through all the gears.
    • Does the TSS or OSS Speed PID increase and decrease with engine and vehicle speed or is the sensor signal erratic (drop to zero or near zero and return to normal operation)? 
    1. Yes  : If the TSS or OSS Speed PID increase and decrease with engine and vehicle speed, CLEAR all DTCs. ROAD TEST, to VERIFY if concern is still present. If concern is still present, REFER to DIAGNOSIS BY SYMPTOM .
