Symptom Troubleshooting (cont’d)
REVERSE LOCKOUT SOLENOID 2P CONNECTOR

NOTE: When checking if the transmission will shift to reverse while the wheels are being driven forward,
raise the vehicle on a lift, make sure it is securely
supported, and allow the front wheels to rotate freely.
 Do not release the clutch pedal if you can select reverse gear while the wheels are driven forward.
 When the vehicle is on a lift, and you make the wheels rotate, turn off the VSA system by the VSA
OFF switch.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
2. Try to shift the transmission into reverse.
Go to step 4.
Go to step 3.
3. Do the reverse lockout solenoid test (see page 13-77).
Check the change lever assembly (see page
13-105), if necessary inspect the internal
transmission.
Repair or replace the reverse lockout solenoid
(see page 13-77).
4. Start the engine, and try to shift the transmission into reverse.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
Go to step 5. 5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
7. Disconnect ECM connector A (44P).
8. Disconnect the r
everse lockout solenoid 2P
connector.
9. Check for continuity between the reverse lockout solenoid 2P connector terminal No. 1 and body
ground.
Repair short to body ground in the wire
between the reverse lockout solenoid and the
ECM.
Check for loose terminals or poor connections
at the ECM. If necessary, update the ECM if it does
not have the latest software (see page 11-227), or
substitute a known-good ECM (see page 11-7), then
recheck. If the symptom goes away with a known-
good ECM, replace the original ECM (see page
11-228).

1. Raise the vehicle on a lift, and make sure it is
securely supported.
2. Remove the filler plug (A) and the sealing washer (B), check the condition of the MTF, and make sure
it is at the proper level (C).
3. If the MTF is dirty, remove the drain plug (A) and the sealing washer (B), and drain it.
4. Install the drain plug with a new sealing washer, and refill the transmission with MTF to the proper
level. Always use Acura Manual Transmission Fluid
(MTF).
5. Install the filler plug (C) with a new sealing washer (D). 6. If the maintenance minder required to replace the
MTF, reset the maintenance minder (see page 3-4).
If it did not reset, go to step 7.
7. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
8. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
9. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module (ECM). If it does not
communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting
(see page 11-204).
10. Select BODY ELECTRICAL with the HDS.
11. Select ADJUSTMENT in the GAUGES MENU with the HDS.
12. Select RESET in the MAINTENANCE MINDER with the HDS.
13. Select MAINTENANCE SUB ITEM 3, and reset the MTF life with the HDS.
Replace. Replace.

31. Pry out the driveshafts inboard joint (see step 8 on
page 16-5).
32. Remove the intermediate shaft (see page 16-23).
33. Remove the clutch cover.
34. Support the transmission with a transmission jack. 35. Remove the transmission mounting bolts.
36. Pull the transmission away from the engine until
the transmission mainshaft clears the clutch
pressure plate.
37. Slowly lower the transmission about 150 mm (6 in.). Check once again that all hoses and harnesses are
disconnected and free from the transmission, then
lower it completely.

ATF strainer clogged
Mainshaft worn or damaged
Final gears worn or damaged
Transmission-to-engine
assembly error
Axle disengaged Check the ATF level, and check the ATF cooler lines
for leaks and loose connections. If necessary, clean
the ATF cooler lines.
Check for a loose shift cable at the shift lever and
the selector control lever.
Improper alignment of ATF pump and torque
converter housing may cause ATF pump seizure.
The symptoms are mostly an rpm-related ticking
noise or a high pitched squeak.
Check the line pressure.
Be careful not to damage the torque converter
housing when replacing the main ball bearing. You
may also damage the ATF pump when you torque
down the main valve body. This will result in ATF
pump seizure if not detected. Use the proper tools.
Install the main seal flush with the torque converter
housing. If you push it into the torque converter
housing until it bottoms out, it will block the fluid
return passage and result in damage.
Check the ATF strainer for debris. If the ATF
strainer is clogged with particles of steel or
aluminum, inspect the ATF pump. If the ATF pump
is OK, find the damaged components that caused
the debris. If no cause for contamination is found,
replace the torque converter.
Inspect the differential pinion gears for wear. If the
differential pinion gears are worn, replace the
differential assembly, replace the ATF strainer,
thoroughly clean the transmission, and clean the
torque converter, cooler, and lines.
Vehicle moves in R,
but not in D, S, or
1st in S 1.

3.1st accumulator defective
1st gears worn or damaged
1st clutch defective Check the 1st clutch pressure.
Inspect the clutch piston, the clutch piston check
valve, and the O-rings. Check the spring retainer
and the retainer seal for wear and damage. Inspect
the clearance between the clutch end-plate and the
top disc. If the clearance is out of tolerance, inspect
the clutch discs and the plates for wear and
damage. If the discs are worn or damaged, replace
them as a set. Inspect the clutch wave-plate height.
If the height is out of tolerance, replace the wave-
plate. If the discs and the plates are OK, adjust the
clearance with the clutch end-plate.
Inspect the 1st clutch feed pipe. If the 1st clutch
feed pipe is scored, replace the end cover.
Replace the secondary shaft if the bushing for the
1st clutch feed pipe is loose or damaged.
Check the 1st accumulator piston, the O-ring, and
the springs in the regulator valve body for wear
and damage.
