Lock-uD Control
From sensor input signals, the TCM determines whether to turn the lock-up ON or OFF and activates lock-up control
solenoid valve A and/or B accordingiy. The combination oI driving signals to lock up control solenoid valves A and B
is shown in the table below.
ShiIt Contlol
The TCM instantaneously determines which gear should be selected by various signals sent from sensors, and actuates
the shift control solenoid valves A and B control shifting. Also, a Grade Logic Control System has been adopted to control
shifting in @ position while the vehicle is ascending or descending a slope, or reducing speed.

In E position in 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and E position in 3rd, pressurized fluid is drained from rhe back of the torque con-
verter through a fluid passage, causing the lock-up piston to be held against the torque converter cover. As this takes
place, the mainshaft rotates at the same speed as the engine crankshatt. Together with hydraulic control, the TCM op-
timized the timing of the lock-up system. Under certain conditions, the lock-up clutch is applied during deceleration in
3rd and 4th gear.
The lock-up system controls the range of lock-up according to lock-up control solenoid valves A and B, and the throttle
valve B. When lock-up control solenoid valves A and B activate, modulator pressure changes. Lock-up control solenoid
valves A and B are mounted on the torque converter housing. and are controlled by the TCM.

IPartial Lock-up
Lock-uo Control Solenoid Valve A: ONLock-uD Control Solenoid Valve B: OFF
The TCM switches solenoid valve A ON to release modulator Dressure in the left cavity of the lock-up shift valve.
Modulator pressure in the right cavity of the lock-up shift valve overcomes the spring force, 8nd the lock-up shift valve is
moved to the left side,
Modulator pressure is separated into the two passages:
Torque Converter Inner Pressure: enters into right side to engage lock-up clutch,
Torque Converter Back Pressure: enters into left side to disengage lock-up clutch.
Back prassure {F2) is regulated by the lock-up control valve whereas the position of the lock-up timing B valve is deter-
mined by the throttle B pressure, tension of the valve spring, and pressure regulated by the modulator. Also the position
of the lock-up control valve is determined by the back prossure of the lock-up control valve and torque converter pressure
regulated by the check valve. With lock-up control solenoid valve B kept OFF. modulator pressure is maintained in the left
end of the lock-up control valve; in other words, the lock-up control valve is moved slightly to the left side. This slight
movement of the lock-up control valve causes the back pressure to be lowered slightly, resulting in partial lock-up.

Troubleshooting Procedures
Checking the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
with an OBD ll Scan Tool or th€ Honda PGM Tester
When the TCM senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the lD,] indicator light in the gauge assembly will
blink. When the 16p Data Link Connector (DLC) (located under the dash on the passenger side) is connected to the OBD ll
Scan Tool or Honda PGM Taster as shown, the scan tool or tester will indicate the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) when
the ignition switch is turned ON {ll}.
When the !r indicator light has been reported on, connect the OBD ll Scan Tool confirming to SAE J1978 or Honda PGM
Tester to the DLC (16P) behind the ashtray. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) and observe the DTC on the screen ofthe OBD
ll Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester. After determining the DTC, refer to the electrical system Symptom-to-Component
Chart on pages 14-54 and 14-55.
NOTE: SeetheOBDll ScanTool orHonda PGM Tester user's manual for specific instructions.
OBD-IlSCAN TOOL orHONDA PGM TESTER
Some PGM-Fl problems will also make the lol indicator light come on. After repairing the PGM-Fl system. disconnect the
BACK Up fuse (7.5 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than 10 seconds to reset the TCM memory, then recheck.
NOTE: Disconnecting the BACK UP fuse also cancels the radio anti-theft code, preset stations and the clock setting. Get
the customer's code number, and make note of the radio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them

Then turn ON (ll) the ignition switch and observe the E indicator light.Codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks. Codes 1O and above are indicated by a series of long and shortblinks. One long blink equals 10 short blinks. Add the long and short blinks together to determine the code. After deter-mining the code, refer to the electrical system Symptom-to-Component Chart on pages 14-S4 and 55.
