why does my Honda Civic 11th Generation (2022-Present) transmission slip when accelerating

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, socket set, torque wrench, transmission fluid, funnel, rags.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a flat surface and the engine is off. Disconnect the battery for safety.

2. Check and Replace Transmission Fluid

1. Locate the Transmission Dipstick:
   • Open the hood and find the transmission dipstick.
2. Remove and Inspect:
   • Pull the dipstick out and wipe it clean. Reinsert it and check the fluid level.
3. Fluid Replacement:
   • If the fluid is low or degraded, drain the old fluid using a fluid pump or by removing the drain plug.
   • Replace with the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid. Use a funnel to avoid spills.
4. Check for Leaks:
   • Inspect the area for any signs of leakage after replacing the fluid.

3. Inspect and Replace Transmission Filter (if applicable)

1. Remove Transmission Pan:
   • Use a socket set to remove the bolts securing the transmission pan.
   • Carefully lower the pan and drain any remaining fluid.
2. Replace Filter:
   • Remove the old filter and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is properly seated.
3. Reinstall Pan:
   • Clean the pan and install a new gasket if necessary. Torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.

4. Reset Transmission Control Module

1. Reconnect Battery:
   • Reconnect the battery and ensure all connections are secure.
2. Perform a TCM Reset:
   • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear any transmission-related error codes and reset the TCM.
