Shift Control
The PCM determines which gear should be selected by various signals sent from sensors, and actuates the shift control
solenoid valves A and B to control shifting. Also. a Grade Logic Control System has been adopted to control shifting in E
anO E ('gZ - gg), and E ('99 - 00) position while the vehicle is ascending or descending a slope, or reducing speeo.

Lock-up Control
From sensor input signals, the PCM determines whether to turn the lock-up ON or OFF, and activates lock-up control
solenoid valve A and/or B accordingly. Lock-up does not occur until the engine is warm. The combination of driving sig-
nals to lock-up control solenoid valves A and B and the linear solenoid pressure is shown in the table below.

E Position
Fluid flow through the torque converter circuit is the same as in N position. Line pressure (1) changes to line pressure (3)
and flows to the 1-2 shift valve. Line pressure (3) changes to line pressure (3') at the 1-2 shift valve and flows to the servo
vaive. 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. Line pressure (3') from the 1-2 shift valve flows through the servo valve to the manual valve and
changes to 4th clutch pressure (40). The 4th clutch pressure (40) is applied to the 4th clutch, and the 4th clutch is engaged.
R€verse Inhibitor Control
When the @ position is selected while the vehicle is moving forward at speeds 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. Line pressure {3') is not applied to the servo valve, and 4th clutch pressure (40} is not applied to the 4th
clutch, as a result, power is not transmitted to the reverse direction.

Troubleshooting Precautions
ABS lndicalor
1 lf the system is oK, the ABS indicator goes off two seconds after turning the ignition switch oN 1l) wathout staningthe engine, and then comes on again and goes off after two seconds. This occurs because the ABS control unit isturned on by the lG2 power source.2. The ABS indicator comes on when the ABS control unit detects a problem in the system. However, even thouoh thesystem is operating properly, the ABs indicator will come on too, under the following conditions:. Signal disturbance
. Wheel spin
. Only drive wheels rotate. Battery voltage fluctuates
To determine the actual cause of the problem, question the customer about the problem, taking these conditions intoconsideration:
3 When a problem is detected and the ABS indicator comes on, the indicator can stay on until the ignition switch isturned OFF, or it can automatically go off, depending on the mode.. Indicator stays on untilthe ignition switch is turned off: When the system is in the system down mode.. Indicator automatically goes off: When the system is in the control inhibition mode.4 The ABS indicator stays on when the system is reactivated without erasing the DTC, but it goes off after starting thevehicle.
When the wheel sensor system is faulty and the ABS indicator comes on. the algorithm of the system automatically turnsoff the ABS indicator after the wheel speed signal returns to the normal speed. Also, when the DTc is erased, the cpu isreset and the ABS indicator goes off when the system checked out normal by the initial diagnosis.Therefore, test-drive the vehicle after servicing the wheel sensor system. and be sure that the ABS indicator does notcome on.
5 When the ABS control unit outputs battery voltage to the gauge assembly, the ABS indicator ooes off.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCI
1. The diagnostic trouble code (DTc) is memorized when a problem is detected and the ABS indicator does not go off,or when the ABS indicator comes on.The DTc is not memorized when the ABS indicator comes on unress the cpu is activated,2 The memory can hold any number of DTCs. However, when the same DTc is detected twice or more, the tater one iswritten over the old one.
Therefore, when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is recorded as one DTC.3. The DTCs are indicated in the order of ascending number, not in the order they occur.4. The DTCS are memorized in the EEPROM (non-volatile memorv).Therefore, the memorized DTcs cannot be canceled by disconnecting the battery. perform the specified procedures toerase the DTCS.
Self-diagnosis
1. Self-diagnosis can be classified into these four categories:' Initial diagnosis: Performed right after the eng ine starts and untir theABS indicator goes off.. Except ABS control: Performed when the ABS is not functioning.. During ABS control: Performed when the ABS is functioning.. During warning: Performed when the ABS indicator is ON.2. The system performs the fo|owing contrors when a probrem is detected by the serf-diagnosis:. ABS indicator ON. Memorv of DTC. Mode changetothe "system down mode,, or the ,,control inhibition mode,,.

NOTE: This operation can also be done with the Honda pGM Tester.
1. Connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector (2P) located on the passenger's side of the centerconsote.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
NOTE; Do not press the brake pedal whenturningthe ignition switch.
3 Record the blinking frequency of the ABS indicator. The brinking frequency indicates the DTc.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF. and remove the SCS service connector.NOTE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) will stay on after the engine is startsd if the SCS seryica connecror rsconnected.
5. Erase the DTC.
Conditions for DTC indication. The vehicle is stopped.. The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON flt).. The brake pedal is released.. The SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure.
The DTC indication stops and the ABS control unit axecutos tha softwaro lunction if at least one of tho following condi-tions i3 satisfiod:
. The vehicle is not stoooed.. The ABS control unit receives the normal signal (which is for the ABS control unit) from a Honda pGM Tesrer.. The SCS service connector is disconnectod during this procedure.

DTC Erasure
NOTE: This operation can also be done with the Honda PGM Tester.
1. Connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector (2P) located on the passenger's side of the center
console.
2. Press the brake oedal.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) while keeping the brake pedal pressed. The ABS indicator goes off after two seconds.
4. After the indicator goes off, release the brake pedal. The indicator comes on after four seconds.
5. After the indicator comes on, press the brake pedal again. The indicator goes off again after four seconds (the brake
oedal is still Dressed.)
6. After the indicator goes off, release the brake pedal again.
7. After four seconds. the indicator blinks twice for 0.3 second and the DTC is erased.
8. Confirm the DTC indication, and check that the DTC was erased.
NOTE: Always maintain these steps. lf you disconnect the SCS service connector and/or fail to operate the brake pedal
according to the indicator indication, the DTC will not be erased.
Conditions for DTC erasure
. The vehicle is stopped.
. The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON (ll)
. The brake pedal is pressed before the ignition switch is turned ON (ll).
. The SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure.
The DTC erasure stops and the ABS control unit executes the software funqtion it at least one of the following conditions
b satisfied:
. The vehicle is not stopped.
. The SCS service connector is disconnected during this service.
. TheABScontrol unit receives the normal signal (which is for the ABS control unit) from a Honda PGM Tester.
. The brake pedal is not operated according to the indicator indication
. The DTC erasure is finished.
