Stall Speed Test
A
1. Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the
proper level (see page 14-231).
2. Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
3. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and go to the A/T Data List. Make sure the HDS communicates with
the PCM. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit
troubleshooting (see page 11- 204).
5. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF.
6. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
7. Shift to D while pressing the brake pedal firmly, then fully press the accelerator pedal for
6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed. Do not
move the shift lever or remove your foot off the
brake pedal while raising the engine speed.
8. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in SandR.
NOTE: Do not test the stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
The stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
Stall speed test results should be the same with the shift lever in D, S, and R.
Do not test the stall speed with the A/T oil pressure gauges installed. 9. If the stall speeds are out of the service limit, the
problems and probable causes are listed in the
table.

Disable the VSA by pressing the VSA OFF switch (if equipped).
VSA DTC(s) may come on during the pressure test. If the VSA(s) come on, clear the DTC(s) with the HDS.
1. Make sure the transmission fluid is filled to the proper level (see page 14-231).
2. Raise the vehicle on a lift, or apply the parking brake, block rear wheels, and raise the front of the
vehicle. Make sure it is securely supported.
3. Remove the splash shield.
4. Allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
5. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
6. 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). 7. Connect the A/T oil pressure gauge to the line
pressure inspection port (A). Do not allow dust or
other foreign particles to enter the ports while
connecting the gauges.
8. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
9. Measure the line pressure at the line pressure inspection port with the shift lever in P or N while
holding the engine speed at 2,000 rpm.
NOTE: Higher pressure may be indicated if
measurements are made in shift lever position
other than P or N.

10. Turn the engine off, then disconnect the A/T oil pressure gauge from the line pressure inspection
port.
11. Install the sealing bolt to the line pressure inspection port with a new sealing washer, and
tighten the bolt to 18 N·m (1.8 kgf·m, 13 lbf·ft). Do
not reuse the old sealing washer.

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.

33. Attach the front subframe adapter (VSB02C000016)
to the front subframe by looping the strap (A) over
the front of the front subframe, then secure the
strap with the stop (B), then tighten the wing nut (C).
34. Raise a jack and line up the slots in the arms with the bolt holes on the corner of the jack base, then
tighten the bolts.
35. Remove the four bolts securing the front subframe, and lower the front subframe.
36. Secure the steering gearbox to the body with a rope. 37. Remove the driveshafts from the differential and
the intermediate shaft. Coat all precision machined
surfaces with clean engine oil, then put plastic bags
over the driveshaft ends.
38. Remove the three bolts securing the shift cable holder (A), then remove the shift cable cover (B).
39. Pry up the lock tab of the lock washer (C), and remove the lock bolt (D) and the lock washer, then
separate the shift cable (E) from the selector control
shaft (F). Do not bend the shift cable excessively.
