  3. Operate the vehicle under the following conditions:
    • Operate the vehicle in D4 with the TCC duty cycle 0 percent and throttle above 12 percent.
    • Ensure that the TCC slip speed is greater than 100 RPM for 2 seconds.
  4. Select Specific DTC.
  5. Enter DTC P0742.

Has the test run and passed?
