Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow the engine to cool before checking or replacing transmission fluid.

Symptoms

  • •Check engine light illuminated
  • •Transmission not shifting properly
  • •Slipping or harsh shifting during gear changes
  • •Loss of power during acceleration
  • •Increased fuel consumption
  • •Transmission overheating

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to identify any additional transmission-related codes.
  2. 2Inspect the transmission fluid level and condition; look for signs of contamination or burning.
  3. 3Check the wiring and connectors related to the transmission control module for damage or corrosion.
  4. 4Test the TCM for proper functionality using a multimeter.
  5. 5Examine the transmission solenoids for resistance and operation.
  6. 6Review the vehicle’s service history for any previous transmission issues or repairs.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
  • Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and properly supported with jack stands.

2. Inspect and Replace Transmission Fluid

  • Tools Required: Fluid pump, drain pan, funnel, torque wrench.
  • Check the fluid level using the dipstick; if low, add Honda ATF DW-1 fluid.
  • If the fluid is dirty or burnt, drain the old fluid:
    1. Remove the transmission drain plug using the socket set.
    2. Allow the fluid to drain completely into the drain pan.
    3. Replace the drain plug and torque to manufacturer specifications (usually around 30 lb-ft).
    4. Refill the transmission with new Honda ATF DW-1 fluid using the funnel.

3. Inspect and Repair Wiring

  • Tools Required: Multimeter, wire strippers, soldering iron (if repairs needed).
  • Visually inspect the wiring harness connected to the TCM and transmission solenoids.
  • Use a multimeter to test for continuity and voltage drop in the wires.
  • Repair or replace damaged wires and connectors as necessary.

4. Check and Replace Transmission Control Module (if necessary)

  • Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench.
  • If diagnostic tests indicate a faulty TCM:
    1. Locate the TCM (generally under the dashboard or near the transmission).
    2. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the TCM.
    3. Unbolt the TCM from its bracket using the socket set.
    4. Install the new TCM by reversing the removal steps. Ensure all connections are secure.

5. Clear Codes and Test Drive

  • Tools Required: OBD-II scanner.
  • After repairs, reconnect the battery terminal.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the P0700 code.
  • Test drive the vehicle to ensure that the transmission operates smoothly and that no codes reappear.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance
