(solenoid valve A) of the connector and body
ground. and bet\iveen the No. 1 terminal (solenoid
valve B) and body ground.

lf the resistance is within the standard, connect the
No. 1 terminal of the connector to the battery positive
terminal. A clicking sound should be heard Connect
the No. 2 terminal to the battery positive terminal. A
clicking sound should be heard. Replace the lock-up
control solenoid valve Ay'B assembly if no clicking
sound is heard when either terminal is connected to
the banerv Dositive terminal.

Check that the key cannot be removed with power
connected to the No. 5 terminal and ground connected
to the No. 3 terminal.

NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmis-
ston,
1. Warm up the engine to normal operating tempera-ture (the radiator fan comes on)
Park the vehicle on level ground. Turn off theengine.
Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) from the trans-mission, and wipe it with a clean cloth.
Insert the dipstick into the transmission.
DIPSTICK
Remove the dipstick and check the fluid level. lt
should be between the upper and lower marKs.
lf the level is below the lower mark. pour the recom-mended fluid into the filler hole to bring it to the uppermark, Always use Genuine Honda Premium FormulaAutomatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift oualitv.
