Installation

1. Line Pressure Solenoid Valve A





1. Install line pressure solenoid valve A using new O-rings (B).





2. Check the connector (A) for corrosion, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary, then connect the connector securely.

2. ATF Level Check





1. Park the vehicle on the level ground.

2. Remove the ATF dipstick (yellow loop) (A), and wipe it with a clean cloth.

3. Insert the dipstick into the dipstick hole.





4. Remove the dipstick, and check the ATF level. It should be between the upper mark (A) and the lower mark (B).

5. If the ATF level is below the lower mark, check for fluid leaks at the transmission, the hoses, and the line joints. If a problem is found, fix it before filling the transmission with ATF.

NOTE: If the vehicle is driven when the ATF level is below the lower mark, one or more of these symptoms may occur:
* Transmission damage.
* Vehicle does not move in any gear.
* Vehicle accelerates poorly, and flares when starting off in forward and reverse positions.
* Engine vibrates at idle.

6. If the ATF level is above the upper mark, drain the ATF to proper level.

NOTE: If the vehicle is driven when the ATF level is above the upper mark, the vehicle may creep forward while in N, or have shifting problems.





7. If necessary, fill the transmission with ATF through the dipstick hole (A) to bring the fluid level between the upper mark and the lower mark of the dipstick. Do not fill the fluid above the upper mark. Always use Honda automatic transmission fluid (ATF) ATF DW-1. Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.

8. Insert the dipstick back into the dipstick hole.
