Honda How To ,blinking d testing your lock up and shift solenoids

have a question hopefully someone can help I have a 94 honda del sol si d16z6 vtec well when I drive when it's cool it will shift fine or decent but once it warms up it wants to keep slipping into neutral any suggestions? plz help

hello cody the guy ,i have the same problem whit my honda civic ex 2001 i did the test on the solenoid and only one side is doing the clicking noise does that mean the solenoid is bad ? thanns in advance

yes Go Miami Heat, i love that lol

I have a 2008 Honda Accord v6 coupe, and I noticed it jumps a little when the gears shift! It's automatic, and I figured cause it's a v6 it might be normal to do this? Also down I slow down it also feels like it's downshifts but I can feel that too, now I had a 2005 automatic Mercedes before v4 and I never ever felt that.. Any ideas? Is this normal?

the clicking sound gets annoying after a few minutes, where can I buy a new solenoid? I think mine has crapped out.

I have a 2002 Accord ex v6 with a hard shifting transmission, esp from park to d4. No codes, just a hard, late shift about 1/2 to 1 sec.

This in not the linear solenoid. Testing the linear solenoid (on CRV) have to put wires directly to both sides of the connector, not grounded to the unit.

I have a Honda crv 97 it will not shift after I reach 45mph and it gets loud like its stuck my dad thinks it's my over drive but I think other wise.

So did the old solenoid have "trash" on the screens? The old was functioning according to your test, so why did you replace it? I have the flashing D4 and p0780 code. thanks for the video by the way.

on a 1991 acura legend, how do you get to the shift solenoid that is mounted on top of the transmission to remove it and clean the screens?

Here's what is really making me mad: I have a 1998 Accord LX, and all I want to do is make sure that the solenoid screens are clean, right? One issue, THAT NOBODY SEEMS TO COVER! Do you have to replace the gaskets, after you remove the shift solenoid? It's an issue, because I cannot find a local auto-parts store that has these gaskets, so I will be forced to buy them from ebay and wait a whole week before I can even simply pull the solenoids out. It seems, everyone who covers this topic, simply just replaces the whole solenoid, and I NEVER can get my answer. I even spent $30 on a chiltons manual, and it doesn't even cover the shift solenoids.

so 93 accord when I put it in drive it pulls down like its in gear with you foot on the brake but won't move if you rev it up a few times it will eventually grab and shift just fine through all gears until you stop and the. you have to rev up again to get it to grab any suggestions

You don't do an "ohm test" or "ohm out" something . . . You are testing the resistance. The measurement value is in ohms.

Hey Cody,

Thx for a very informative video. Quick question. Would the flashing D4 indicator lead to a "no crank, no start" condition? I have a 1997 CRV that failed to start one morning. Still troubleshooting. I definitely have the blinking indicator. I still have to get the code(s) to see what is being reported as faulty. But, definitely will not turn over--battery is new.

My 1996 Honda Civic D.X shift hard but I don't have have any engine light, I did a tranni flush and it just help a bit, it only shift hard on the firsts gears but when I floor board it it doesn't shift hard at all it shift smooths it only happened when I drive it regular speed

Hi please help me: I have a accord 95 and the lock up solenoid is bad. I turned off it for while and the car is running good and the transmission too. What is the problem if I leave like that until I buy a new one? Thank you.

Nice video... trans on my 97 civic sedan slips into 3rd gear not a harsh slip very light... could this solenoid be the issue? also when I put the key on "ON" the light goes on in both "P" as well as "D4" and then shuts off on D4 after a second, is that normal?

Hi, my question is: the shift solenoid is 10 ohms on one side and 14 on other side. Is it bad? But the lock up is good on both side. Can I disconnect the shift solenoid and leave on the lock up? I did that and the car is running better. Can I have any problem on my transmission doing this? Thank you.

hi dude,whats will a fail if this is dirty,thanks from Venezuela

Thanks

hey I check selenoid and it's fine replace it but my trans is not shifting and still gives me code 19 but no d4 flashing or check engine I'm trying to figure out but no luck

Hi guy my shift solenoid is 6.5 in one side do you believe if I clean up it can go back work good? Somebody told me that and I couldn't believe him. But I didn't try it to do this. What do you think? My car doesn't have 4th gear. Thank you.

thanks for the great video thought,can you please tell us the location of the lock up selinoied!

Hello again I checked the ohms on my selinoied and got some bad reading both sides were reading 30 ohms so what do you think I should replace it with new one!..

hey was up here what i just did an engine swap in my rover 400 which uses honda civic engines .so i took out the d16y3 motor and replaced it with the d15b 3stage vtec engine ,harness and ecu ,i used my previous transmission but the harness dosent carry a jack for the lock up solenoids how do i get then connected or to work

Hello I changed my transmission shift lock solenoid, my check engine and d4 comes on flashing again, and in still getting code p0780, and that's the solenoid I just changed. Do you think I have to change the computer? Thank you

Hey cody i did the test and all is well except the continuity(beep)body ground and each terminal.Is that normal?tnx buddy

My 2000 Honda Accord SE 4cyl has been acting bad.
It started out as losing 3rd gear, then only having 1st and 2nd. Then it would stay in 4th gear.
Last night I lost reverse for a while. It even went forward in Neutral and Reverse.
I shut the car off and put it in gear and it coasted back. When I restarted it I had no gears but reverse. Eventually I got 2nd gear back. But sometimes it just totally locks up and stops the car dead in its tracks.

Hey, i have a 1993 honda sometimes it has a hard time switching gears from park to drive. Is the transmission control solenoid going bad?

Mine is clickin but is at 29 ohm so that means its bad?

thank you for the video , I have an issue with my 2001 2.3L accord, when shifting to (D or R) engine RPM goes up and engine slap in to gear hard !! what do you think the issue is? I have tested the dual shift control and clean them out good but still the same issue.
thank you for what you do

I have 30.5 is that good?

This is just showing testing the lockup (upper) solenoid correct? Isn't there a shift control solenoid further down on the transmission? Would the measurements be the same on it as well?

What's the purpose of the lock-up solenoid as in what does it do for the transmission

What u wanna hear uggghhhhhhh lol 😂🤣

is this solenoid same for 1989 honda civic dx 2door hatchback

I have a 740 code changing the solenoid will it fix it?

Could a P0756 Shift Solenoid B Performance or stuck off for a '04 Honda Accord EX 2.4L 4-Dr Sedan Automatic (approximately 259,000 miles) just be a Solenoid issue or something else (Pressure switch, etc) if
the car not going into reverse for up to 2 minutes & the same thing for drive (Have to wait a few seconds up to 2 minutes) drive light blinks, Check Engine Light is on & that is the only code displayed;
P0756 Shift Solenoid B performance or Stuck Off
(Other issues: Sometimes there's a quick grinding sound when the car is switching into gear usually after the car is stopped at a stop sign/light then moving again, RPMs rev up high but the speedometer stays low & takes a while to switch gears. After the CEL had been cleared the car drove fine in all gears, 65mph no problem, etc then when the CEL & blinking Drive light came back on it had the issues listed above).
Other Notes: Honda dealership recently drained/filled with new transmission fluid approximately 3 weeks later while up in the mountains I had a loose negative battery connection; dashboard lights flickered, RPMs reved high with harder shifting, after I realized it was a loose negative battery connection I used a SHIM to fill the gap>Battery connection issue fixed but then I started experiencing transmission issues; Just delayed shifting (High RPMs before kicking into gear) took the shim off which obviously involved disconnecting the negative battery cable then lone behold the car was shifting fine. Had to put the shim back in (loose connection) then the transmission problems resumed & became progressively worse as mentioned above. Later after the car finally kicked into Drive it was taken to a transmission shop & they said they were barely able to get it into their bay by pushing it (While in Neutrel) They said it needed to be driveable to run their scan tool to pull codes/test the transmission & their final result is they said it needs a rebuilt transmission ($4500+) no code scans, test drive, they believe it couldn't just be the solenoid, etc. Since it delays so long and or doesn't go into Reverse gear or drive (Not sure how long they actually waited to give the car a chance to go into those gears). If the transmission is actually no good I will take it to a shop that takes the exsisting original transmission out & rebuilds that $2000-$2800 instead of this shop who only orders comptely rebuilt ones for $4500+ (They said they don't rebuild transmissions on foreign cars because they had too many issues & only rebuild original transmissions on American vehicles). Just wanted some feedback, opinions if they still could've scanned the vehicle properly since it starts & even if it can't kick into gear to test drive it and also based on this info if it still could be a Solenoid fix etc (Lengthy info in case this is helpful to determine the issue better & in case this is beneficial to anyone else expetiencing similar issues).

I have a 1999 Honda Civic ex automatic transmission and I have the 3 transmission in it and a new computer from a junk yard and a new wiring harness anyone know what it could be please reply

I could really use some guidance here please, 1993 Honda Accord EX,With::Blinking D4 green light, shift interlock will only work intermittently,I have had TCU rebuilt, I have attempted to flash codes and green D4 light just blinks slowly forever., , removed both transmission solenoid’s screens are clear however both transmission solenoids are drawing 29 ohms,,, thank you for your time,

Is it just us Honda guys or are all gear heads illiterate?

Do you have to remove to check or can you leave installed

My grandfather honda odyssey 95 he couldn't start the engine, the d4 is flashing, we tried to jumpstart the engine and its working. but the transmission won't shift. Can someone help me.

I am trying to replace the solenoid b for baya on 03 Honda accord. How do I replace?

Ok how in the world do you do the resistance test? This video shows shit.

I replaced my the problem when away but came right back after a mile help I'm thinking the ECM record it and is permanent so how do I take that out completely out of that ECM,??
