Description
Electronic Control System {cont'dl
Ascending Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is climbing a hill in E position, the system oxtends the sngagement area of2nd gear and 3rd gear to prevent ths transmission from fr€quently shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rdand 4th gears, so the vehicle can run smooth and have more power when needed. There are two ascending modes withdifferent 3rd gear driving areas according to the magnitude of a gradient stored in the pCM.
NOTE:
. The PCM memory contains shift schedules between 2nd and 3rd gears, and between 3rd and 4th gears that enable thePCM's fuzzy logic to automatically select the most suitable gear according to the magnitude of a gradient. Fuzzy logic is a form of artificial intelligence that lets computers respond to changing conditions much like a humanmind would,
Dssconding Control
When the PCM determines that the vehicle is going down a hilt in E position, the shift-up speed from 3rd to 4th gearwhen th€ throftle is closed becomes faster than the set speed for flat road driving to widen the 3rd gear driving area.This, in combination with engine braking from the deceleration lock-up, achieves smooth driving when the vehicle isdescending. There are two descending modes with different downshift (4 - 3) schedules according to the magnitude of agradient stored in the PCM. When the vehicle is in 4th gear, and you are decelerating on a gradual hill, or when you areapplying the brakes on a steep hill, the transmission will downshift to 3rd gear. When you accel6rate, the transmission willthen return to 4th gear.

Docel6ration Control
When the vehicle goes around a corner. and needs to first decelerate and then accelerate. the rcM sets the data for decelerationcontrol to reduce the number of times the transmission shifts. When the vehicle is decelerating from speeds above 26 mph(41 km/h), the rcM shifts the transmission from 4th to 2nd earlier than normal to cope with upcoming acceleration.

@ Position
As the engine turns, the ATF pump also starts to operate, Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) is drawn from (99) and dis-
charged into (1). Then, ATF flowing from the ATF pump becomes the line pressure (1). The line pressure (1) is regulated
by the regulator valve. The torque conv€rter inlet pressure (92) enters (94) of the torque converter through the lock-up
shift valve and discharges into (901. The torque converter ch€ck valve prevents the torque converter pressure from rising'
Under this condition, the hydraulic pressure is not applied to the clutches'
NOTE: When used, "1eft" or "right" indicates direction on the hydraulic circuit'

1.Warm up the engine to normal operating tempera-
ture (the radiator fan comes on)
Park the vehicle on the level ground, then turn off
the engrne.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the trans-
mission. and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick into the transmrssron
Remove the dipstick and check the fluid level lt
should be between the upper mark and lower
marks.

lf the level is below the lower mark, pour the recom-
mended fluid into the tiller hole to bring it to the
upper mark. Always use Genuine Honda Premium
Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using
a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality

4. lf the hole is not perfectly aligned, loosen the lock-nut on the adjuster and adjust as required.
5. Tighten the tocknut to 7 N.m (0.7 kgf.m, 5 tbf.ft).
6. Install the lock pin on the adjuster. lf you feel thelock pin binding as you reinstall it, the cable is stillout of adjustment and must be readjusted.
7. Make sure the lock pin is seated in the adjustersecuretv.
8. Move the shift lever to each gear, and verify that theshift position indicator follows the automatic trans-axle gear position switch.
9. Start the engine, and check the shift lever in allgears. lf any gear does not work properly, refer totroubleshooting (see page 14-109 thru 1'4-'112).
10. Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder on theAy'T gear position indicator panel, and verify that theshift lock lever is released.
