10. Measure the ATF temperature sensor resistance between shift solenoid wire harness connector
terminals No. 6 and No. 7.
If the resistance is within the standard, install the shift solenoid wire harness and a new O-ring in
the transmission, then go to step 13.
If the resistance is out of standard, go to step 11.
11. Disconnect the connectors from the shift solenoid valves, and replace the ATF temperature sensor/
shift solenoid harness assembly (F) and the O-ring
(G) with new ones.
NOTE: The ATF temperature sensor is not available
separately from the shift solenoid wire harness.
12. Connect the shift solenoid valve connectors: BLU wire to shift solenoid valve A.
ORN wire to shift solenoid valve B.
GRN wire to shift solenoid valve C.
YEL, WHT, and WHT wire connector to shiftsolenoid valve D.
RED wire to shift solenoid valve E.

NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission. 1. Park the vehicle on the level ground.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), and turn
the engine off.
3. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
4. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).
5. Refill the transmission with ATF into the dipstick hole to bring the fluid level between the upper
mark and the lower mark of the dipstick. Always
use Acura ATF-Z1 automatic transmission fluid
(ATF). Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift
quality.
6. Check that the ATF level is between the upper mark
and the lower mark of the dipstick.
7. Insert the dipstick back into the transmission with the letters ‘‘ATF’’ pointing toward the front of the
vehicle. 8. If the maintenance minder required to replace the
ATF, reset the maintenance minder (see page 3-4),
and this procedure is complete. If the maintenance
minder did not require you to replace the ATF, go
to step 9.
9. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go
to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see page
11-204).
11. Select BODY ELECTRICAL with the HDS.
12. Select ADJUSTMENT in the GAUGES MENU with the HDS.
13. Select RESET in the MAINTENANCE MINDER MENU with the HDS.
14. Select RESETTING THE ATF with the HDS.
NOTE: If you changed the engine oil at the same
time with the ATF, select RESETTING THE ENGINE
OIL LIFE AND ATF with the HDS instead.
Replace.

7. Disconnect the transmission range switch
connector.
8. Check for continuity between the terminals at the switch connector. There should be continuity
between the terminals in the following table for
each switch position.
9. If the transmission range switch test is OK, replace the faulty transmission range switch harness, then
go to step 12. If there is no continuity between any
terminals, go to step 10. 10. Remove the transmission range switch, and check
the end of the selector control shaft (A).
11. If the measurement at the end of the selector control shaft is within the standard, replace the
transmission range switch. If the measurement is
out of the standard, repair the selector control shaft
end, and recheck the transmission range switch
continuity.
12. Check the connector for rust, dirt, or oil, clean or repair if necessary, then connect the connector
securely.
13. Install the removed parts in the reverse order of removal.

not move the transmission range switch when
tightening the bolts. Remove the feeler gauge. 9. Check the connectors for rust, dirt, or oil, clean or
repair if necessary, then connect the connector
securely.
10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Move the shift lever through all positions, and check the
transmission range switch synchronization with the
A/T gear position indicator.
11. Check that the engine will start with the shift lever in P and N, and will not start in any other shift lever
position.
12. Check that the back-up lights come on when the shift lever is in R.
13. Allow the front wheels to rotate freely, then start the engine, and check the shift lever operation.
14. Install the transmission range switch cover (A).
