Honda Element. Manual — part 59

The return signal does not match the command to turn ON shift solenoid valve C for at least 1 second.

Driving Pattern

Start the engine, and drive the vehicle in 1st gear in D position for at least 1 second.



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

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the
PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic
runs.

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

Fig. 172: Shift Solenoid Valve Driving Signal Combination Table

General Description

When shift solenoid valves A, B, C, D, and E are turned ON, the hydraulic pressure circuit opens. The hydraulic
pressure circuit supplies/discharges hydraulic pressure to/from each clutch according to the combination of the
ON/OFF status of those valves and the shift valves. The powertrain control module (PCM) commands the
driver circuit to turn on the shift solenoid valve. The circuit diagnoses malfunctions such as a circuit short or
open, and sends back a return signal during the PCM's command. When the return signal does not match the
PCM command, a malfunction is detected by the PCM. The malfunction is detected when the return signal does
not match the PCM command to turn OFF the shift solenoid valve, and a DTC is stored.
