Preface

This book is based on the "Automotive Transmission Troubleshooter"
software by the same author. All similarities to this software package
are intended. Both of these products are copyrighted by the author,
Mandy Concepcion.

The beginnings of this book came about after the development of the
"Transmission Troubleshooter" software package, which eventually
became part of the "TransDoctor" PC based diagnostic equipment.
Both of these related products, although meant for the professional
side of the industry, left behind a huge arsenal of data that matched
perfectly with the needs of the average consumer, DIY and mechanic
aficionado. We assumed that his information, so far as the general
public was concerned, did not necessitated to be part of a broad
software package and therefore could be offered at a lower cost to the
people. This book covers automotive Transmission diagnostics and
electronic repair for Honda vehicles. The information was amassed
during years of field work and research in the automotive industry. For
this reason, the information is presented in a direct, hands on
approach and skips the basic operation of automotive transmissions. If
you're trying to discern the basics of automotive automatic
transmissions, then there are other works that could help you do that.
This book is meant to be used during real-life repair situations and it
exposes you to exactly what you need to know to solve or get an in-
depth knowledge of a specific problem. Various concepts are covered
such as Transmission DTCs or trouble codes, Transmission ID, shift
solenoid locations, component locations, electrical and wiring diagrams
and finally measurement values for voltage and resistance. We hope
you enjoy reading this work to gain knowledge and solve specific
problem. So, without further ado, enjoy…
