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.

5. Install the clutch spring compressor set.
6. Set the clutch spring compressor set (A) on the spring retainer (B) so that it compresses the clutch
return spring (C).
NOTE: Coat the circumference of the spring
retainer and the areas where the spring retainer
contacts the clutch piston with ATF before
installation. 7. Compress the return spring carefully until the snap
ring can be installed. Check that the spring retainer
(A) is properly installed on the clutch hub (B). If
improperly installed, change the position of the
spring compressor set and the spring retainer.
NOTE: Insert the spring retainer so it can be
adjusted (center of tolerance) to prevent damaging
the spring retainer oil seal.
8. Install the snap ring using snap ring pliers.
9. Remove the clutch spring compressor set.

The EPS motor engages with a pinion and one worm wheel gear, which is transmitted to a direct pinion, to move a
rack.
When the steering wheel is turned, twist occurs in the torsion bar between the steering side of the input shaft and the
output shaft on the road reaction force side. Inductance is changed by the movement of the core. The amount this
voltage changes (varies with the amount of movement, and direction of the core) is amplified with the interface
circuitry of the sensor coil, and output to the EPS control unit as a steer signal.
