1. Preparation

  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, socket set, multimeter, transmission fluid dipstick.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Inspect and Replace Transmission Fluid

  • Remove the transmission fluid dipstick and check the fluid level. If low, add the proper fluid as specified in the owner's manual.
  • If the fluid is dirty or burnt, drain the transmission fluid by removing the drain plug or pan while being cautious of hot fluid.
  • Replace the transmission fluid with the recommended type (e.g., Honda ATF DW-1).
  • Reinstall the drain plug (if applicable) to the specified torque value.

3. Repair or Replace Wiring and Connectors

  • Visually inspect wiring harness and connectors for signs of damage or corrosion.
  • Repair any damaged wires by splicing or using appropriate connectors.
  • Replace any damaged connectors with OEM parts.

4. Test and Replace the Transmission Control Module (if necessary)

  • Using a multimeter, check the voltage and ground supply at the TCM connectors according to the service manual specifications.
  • If the TCM is faulty, remove it by unscrewing the mounting bolts and disconnecting the wiring harness.
  • Install the new TCM by reversing the removal steps and ensuring all connections are secure.

5. Reconnect Battery and Clear Codes
