If you can see when the vehicle goes in to closed and open loop then look for that if going down a hill and the throttle is at 0% when doing 65mph after 2-3 sec the PCM should go into DFCO if the revs were high enough to the gear. If it does not go into DFCO (indicated by open loop) try again and down shift this time and see if it happens.

I don't have a scangage and won't for a while...I'd like to know if there is a way to confirm that a vehicle is using DFCO based on information available while driving the vehicle under stock conditions.
Most cases when I drive without using throttle (can't just say 'coast' lol) there is a stop sign or light ahead, but in a few cases I will speed back up. Knowing if I should stay in gear or not would be useful info!
Thanks in advance.
