L
E Position
The flow of fluid through the torque convefter circuit is the same as in E position The line pressure (1) changes to the
line pressure (3) and flows to the l-2 shift valve. The iine pressure (3) changes to the line pressure (3') at the 'l-2 shift valve
and flows to the servo valve. The servo valve is moved to the right side (Reverse range position) and uncovers the port to
allow line pressure {3") to the manual valve, The line pressure {3') from the 1-2 shift valve flows through the servo valve to
the manual valve and changes the 4th clutch pressure (40). The 4th clutch pressure (40) is applied to the 4th clutch, and
the 4th clutch is engaged,
Reverse Inhibitor Control
When the E position is selected while the vehicle is moving forward at spe€ds over 6 mph (10 km/h)' the PCM outputs the
1st speed signal to shift control solenoid valves A and B; shift control solenoid valve A is turned oFF, shift control solenoid
valve B is turned ON. The 1-2 shift valve is moved to the right side and covers the port to stop line pressure (3') to the
servo valve. The line pressure (3') is not applied to the servo valve, and the 4th clutch pressure (40) is not applied to the
4th clutch, as a result, power is not transmitted to the reverse direction'

Description
Lock-up System (cont'dl
TOROUE CONVERTER
Half Lock-up
. Lock-up Control Solenoid Valve A: ONLock-up Control Solenoid Valve 8: Duty Operation
OFF - ONLinear Solenoid Pressure: Low
The PCM switches the solenoid valve A on to release themodulator pressure in the left cavity of the lock_up shiftvalve. The modulator pressure in the right cavity of thelock-up shift valve overcomes the spring force; thus thelock-up shift valve is moved to the left side.The line pressure is then separated into the two pas-sages to the torque converter:
Torque Converter Inner pressure: enters into rightsade to engage lock-up clutch
Torque Converter Back pressure: enters into left sideto diseogage lock-up clutchThe back pressure (F2) is regulated by the lock-up con-trol valve, whereas the position of the lock-up timingvalve is determined by the linear solenoid Dressure andtension of the valve spring. Also the position of the lock_up control valve is determined by the back pressure ofthe lock-up control valve, torque converter pressure reg_ulated by the torque converter check valve, and modula_tor pressure determined by the lock-up control solenoidvalve B. The PCM switches the lock-up control solenoidvalve B on and off rapidly {duty operation} under certainconditions to regulate the back pressure (F2) to lock thetorque convener properly.

o Linear Solenoid Pressure: High
When the vehicle speed further increases. the linear
solenoid pressure is increased to high in accordance
with the linear solenoid controlled bv the PCM.
The lock-up timing valve overcomes the spring force
and moves to the left side. Also, this valve closes the
fluid port leading to the left side of the lock-up control
Under this condition. the modulator pressure in the left
side of the lock-up control valve had already been
released by the lock-up control solenoid valve B; the
lock-up control valve js moved to the left side. As this
takes place, the torque converter back pressure is
released fully. causing the lock-up clutch to be engaged
fully.

Troubleshootin g Procedures
Chccking the Diagnostic Trouble Code IDTC)with an OBD ll Scan tool or Honda PGM Tester
when the PCM senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the pl indicator light in the gauge assembly willblink. When the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC) (located under the dash on the driver,s side) is connected to the OBD llScan Tool or Honda PGM Tester as shown, the scan tool or tester will indicate the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) whenthe ignition switch is turned ON{ll).
lf the El indicator light or the MIL has been reported on, or lf a driveability problem is suspected, follow this procedure:
1. Connect the OBD ll Scan Tool (conforming to SAE J19781 or Honda PGM Tester to rhe 16p DLC. (See the OBD ll ScanTool or Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific instructions. lf you are using the Honda PGM Tester, make sure itis set to the SAE DTC type.)
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (lll, and observe the DTC on the screen,3, Record all fuel and emission DTCS, A/T DTCS, and freeze data.4 lf there is a fuel and emissions DTC, first checkthe fuel and emissions system as indicated bythe DTC (except for DTCP0700). DTC P0700 means there is one or more A,/T DTC, and no problems were detected in the fuel and emissions cir-cuit of the PCM.
5. Write down the radio station oresets.
6. Reset the memory with the PGM Tester or by removing the BACK UP fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay boxfor more than 10 seconds.
7. Drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/hr), and then recheck for DTCS. lf the A"/T DTCreturns, go to the Symptom-to Component Chart on pages 14-52 and 14-53 for'96 - 98 models, and pages 14-54 and14-55 for the'99 - 00 models, lf the DTC does not return, there was an intermittent problem within the circuit. Makesure all pins and terminals in the circuit are tight, and then go to step g.
8. Reset the radio preset stations, and set the clock.

Chocking th€ Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCI
with the Servico Check Conneqtor and Sp€cialTool
When the PCM senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the @ indicator light in the gauge assembly will blink
When the Service Check Connector (locat€d under the dash on the passengsr side) is connected with the special tool as
shown, the E indicator light will blink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) when the ignition switch is turned ON (ll).
When the E indicator light has been reported on, connect the Service Check Connector with the special too'.
Then turn ON (ll) the ignition switch and obssrve the E indicator tight.

Codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks, Codes 10 and above are indicat€d by a sories of long and short
blinks. One long blink equals 1O short blinks. Add the long and short blinks together to determine th€ code. After deter-
mining the code, refer to the electrical system Symptom-to Component Chart on pages 1+52 and 1+53 for'96 - 98 mod-
els, and 14-54 and 14-55 for the '99 - 00 models.
