2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
I dunno if anyone else has attempted this but I got all the wiring done for the most part
I cant find anything useful to help with my issues
blinking D4 and shift lock wont release.
I ran a code reader and solenoid a valve failure and A/t transmission failure pop up.
anyone know the pinout for d plug on obd2b/a
so upon starting the car I cant shift it out of gear without manually unlocking it
I modded the civic shift pack I modified and dremmel'ed out to allow for a 1st gear since the b18b1 is a 4speed auto unlike the d16y8
photos of proof I did it
I runs and drives just not properly yet
any help is appreciated. thanks

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
engine ran no cel when pulled. so im not sure if I have to rewire replug the shiftpack and vss that's why I was hoping to fined a schematic. all I can fins is auto to manual schematics. my next step is to buy a Haynes 00+ manual and see if I can diagnose it that way. car isn't registered currently was waiting till its running 100% beforehand.
I removed the immobilizer off the board and was going to order a bypass chip/ module to solder in and see if that will eliminate the issues. I repined the ecu according to the ff-squad diy's. in first it takes a lil more rev to get it to move which unsure if it is actual valve falure.
as far as I know from digging out **** online and mindhiving the internet to diagnose these issue's theres null. overseas auto b18's were offered in civics but its slim to none from what ive found state side of this swap. pretty sure im the only one or else a rare breed of a few that put a auto 01 obd2b b18 in a 2000 auto chassis

you'll need the 00-01 integra fsm manual. you probably dont have the plugs going to the correct ecu pin out. as for the shift lock that all depends on what you did to the auto shifter. if it was working before it should still work after the swap, it doesnt rely on the ecu.

see that's what I was curious about maybe the solenoid is *** backwards on pinout but all the plugs matched up. only mods to the harness other than the intake and crank sensor

plugs match up but the sensor has to go where it needs to go back to the ecu, you did right so far when sticking to the 00-01 b18 automatic into the civic its just following through with the wiring.

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
when I get home from work i'll rewire the shiftpack and see if that fixes anything and check the pin location on the shifter and see why it wont release. could be my throttle cable is pulling the throttle down and depressing it a little or else the interlock is having issues with the immobilizer removed and not bypassed with a new chip im guessing. iim also running a significantly larger trans cooler so I also wasn't sure if not toping of the trans fluid would cause this as well

Skimming through the FSM i can see the sfifter, lockout and automatic wiring have to be correct in order for it to work properly.

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
Thats what I was unsure of. With it having an extra gear and the schematic to lockout it’s not there. Unless I run an extra wire maybe or just switch lockout boxes? It’s got me puzzled. I was previously told that you just have to shift through gears for the ecu to learn a new transmission on first start. But maybe if I switchout interlock with a 2001 teg it may work?

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
I did drive it tonight. Shifts super ******* hard. Trans sits lower than the exhaust. If you got the Facebook app I found out you can slide into the forum via the Facebook page. And if you use Snapchat photos they upload. Just food for thought but helpful information lol. Technology these days.
I gotta put the passenger fender liner back in then I’ll mount the front back on.
I dubbed the build tribute hatch
a buddy killed himself and less than an hour before he killed himself his last comment was on a pic of this car saying that quote “one hell of a nice time” so I dedicated the build to him.

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
yeah the ecu isnt connected so the tranny is just shifting on it's own. not good. yeah dude. get your hands on the acura FSM, look for the pinouts. what ecu you running? and why is a 2000 civic running obd2a and not obd2b

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
the auto is obd2a 2000 dx. im running a obd2b 2001 teg ls b18b1 engine.
bought a new multimeter. checked the clutch solenoid valve and it works fine tonight after my wrx is delivered and I put my 95 ls-s on the trailer I was gonna chase wires.
I ordered a immo bypass chip today to see if that solves anything also.
ecu im using is a 37820-p75-***
I got a CFK code I did the 2 to 3 wire conversion so looks like ill have to splice and tap wires. but I was able to clear it with my scanner
and also I was seeing acura and honda stored code pcm failure but I figured I was getting that because the immobilizer chip I removed so I could start the car

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
Need actual codes, you telling me 'but I'm seeing xyz' does not make sense. No 2000 dx would ever be obd2a so You might not be running the proper engine harness.

Re: 2000 civic auto with 01' b18b1 auto swap trans issues
you def need the wiring done cuz something is def off with the tranny wiring.
you can probably get away with P, R,N,D4 cuz the wiring is already there but double check the lockup solenoid pinouts on both civic and integra ecus.
