how to fix Honda CR-V transmission slipping during acceleration

Solution

1. Preparation

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner, socket set, torque wrench, multimeter, fluid catch pan.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to ensure safety while working on the electrical components.

2. Change Transmission Fluid and Filter

• Sub-steps:
  1. Place a fluid catch pan under the transmission pan.
  2. Remove the transmission pan bolts using a socket set and carefully lower the pan to drain the old fluid.
  3. Remove the old transmission filter and replace it with a new one, ensuring the new filter is seated properly.
  4. Clean the transmission pan thoroughly and replace the gasket with a new one.
  5. Reinstall the transmission pan and torque the bolts to the manufacturer's specifications (usually around 10-12 ft-lbs).
  6. Refill the transmission with the correct type and amount of fluid as specified in the owner’s manual (typically Honda ATF Z1 or DW-1).

3. Repair or Replace Faulty Components

• Sub-steps:
  1. If error codes indicate a problem with the transmission solenoids, remove the solenoid pack from the transmission.
  2. Test each solenoid with a multimeter for resistance according to specifications.
  3. Replace any faulty solenoids with new ones, ensuring proper alignment and connection.
  4. Inspect wiring and connectors; repair or replace any damaged harnesses.

4. Reconnect Battery

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Clear any error codes using the OBD-II scanner.
