Honda Element. Manual — part 41

Malfunction Threshold

The actual gear ratio must match one of these conditions for at least 12 seconds with the 2nd gear command:



Actual gear ratio > 2nd gear ratio by a factor of 1.2



Actual gear ratio < 2nd gear ratio by a factor of 0.75

Driving Pattern

Start the engine, shift to D position, and drive the vehicle at a speed of 8 mph (12 km/h) or more for at least 12
seconds in 2nd gear.



Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the indicator

When a malfunction is detected, the D indicator blinks, and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the
PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

The DTC and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting
the battery.

General Description

To engage 3rd gear, line pressure is supplied to the 3rd clutch piston, the 3rd clutch is engaged, and the

secondary shaft and the secondary shaft 3rd gear are connected and revolve together. Hydraulic pressure is
supplied to the 3rd clutch through the ATF strainer --> the ATF pump --> the regulator valve --> the manual
valve --> the shift valves --> the feed pipe --> 3rd clutch piston. (The shift valve failure in the supplying route
above is detected by the malfunction detection of each shift solenoid valve.) The powertrain control module
(PCM) computes the ratio of the mainshaft speed to the countershaft speed. When the ratio is not the 3rd gear
ratio, it is detected as a malfunction of the hydraulic circuit or the 3rd clutch, and a DTC is stored.
