Honda Element. Manual - part 224

 

 

Is DTC P0976 indicated?  

YES -Go to step 8. 

NO -Go to step 5. 

5. Select Shift Solenoid B in Miscellaneous Test Menu, and test shift solenoid valve B with the HDS. 

Is a clicking sound heard?  

YES -Go to step 6. 

NO -Go to step 8. 

6. Start the engine in the P position, and wait for at least 1 second.  

7. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0976 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate FAILED?  

YES -Go to step 8. 

NO -If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for 
intermittent short to body ground in the wire between shift solenoid valve B and the PCM. If the screen 
indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 5. 

8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.  

9. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.  

10. Disconnect PCM connectors A (31P) and C (22P).  

11. Measure the resistance between PCM connector terminals C4 and A9.

YES -Go to step 12. 

NO -Go to step 22. 

12. Disconnect the shift solenoid harness connector at the transmission housing.  

13. Check for continuity between PCM connector terminals C4 and A9.

Is there continuity?  

YES -Repair short to body ground in the wire between PCM connector terminal C4 and the shift solenoid 
harness connector, then go to step 15. 

NO -Go to step 14. 

14. Inspect shift solenoid valve B and the shift solenoid harness (see SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE TEST ). 

Are shift solenoid valve B and the harness OK?  

YES -Go to step 21. 

NO -Replace shift solenoid valve B or the shift solenoid harness (see SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE 
REPLACEMENT
 ), then go to step 15. 

15. Reconnect all connectors.  

16. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).  

17. Clear the DTC with the HDS.  

18. Start the engine in the P position, and wait for at least 1 second.  

19. Drive the vehicle in the D position through 1st to 3rd gears, then drive in 3rd gear for at least 1 second.  

20. Check for DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0976 indicated?

YES -Check for intermittent short to body ground in the wire between shift solenoid valve B and the 
PCM, then go to step 1. 

NO -Go to step 21. 

21. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0976 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?  

YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other DTCs were indicated in step 20, go to the indicated 
DTCs troubleshooting. 

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for intermittent short to body ground in the wire between 
shift solenoid valve B and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to 
step 18. 

22. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE PCM ), or substitute a 

known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ).  

23. Start the engine in the P position, and wait for at least 1 second.  

24. Drive the vehicle in the D position through 1st to 3rd gears, then drive in 3rd gear for at least 1 second.  

25. Check for DTCs with the HDS. 

Is DTC P0976 indicated?  

YES -Check for intermittent short to body ground in the wire between shift solenoid valve B and the 
PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), then 
go to step 23. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. 

NO -Go to step 26. 

26. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P0976 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS. 

Does the screen indicate PASSED?  

YES -If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the 
original PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other DTCs were indicated in step 25, go to 
the indicated DTCs troubleshooting. 

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for intermittent short to body ground in the wire between 
shift solenoid valve B and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see 
SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), then go to step 23. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the 
screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 23.

Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board 
snapshot, and review General Troubleshooting Information (see GENERAL 
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).  

This code is caused by an electrical circuit problem and cannot be caused 
by a mechanical problem in the transmission.
