Hi there,
My wifes accord has been going down hill this last week. It started with her S light staying on (already replaced the speed sensor when it was blinking) and it stopped shifting. I was able to fix it by unplugging one termanal of the battery but now that doesn't even fix it. It also drains the battery within about 12-14 hrs. Is there any thing i can do to fix this or will i need a whole new AT computer? Also her driver side automatic seat belt stopped working and constantly beeped at her untill i removed the fuse when it was in the up possition. will i need a new motor for that? Thank you for your time and help!

 

any suggestions?

 

sorry but what is this s light?

Its a sport mode for AT accords. When you mean not shifting is it staying in a taller gear? or is it just not moving at all. Have you also tried jumping the codes off of the TCM aka tranny computer??

 

Yes it's staying in 2nd gear. I know this cause i can maunally shift to 1st second but in d3 and d4 it just stays in 2n'd. I haven't taken the trany code i'll take it in and see what it comes out as.

 

what is TCM aka tranny computer

 

i thought it was the TCU???

 

It's called many different names. The computer that controls the transmission. You should be able to jump the sevice check connector (in 92 molels it's a plug behind the passenger side kickpanel with two wires that is not connected to anything) You just connect (jump) the two wires together (paperclip works great) by making a U out of it and pushing it into the plug. Then when you turn the key on it will blink a problem code using the D4 light in the dash. long flashes and short flashes, three long flashes and four short flashes would be code 34. If you have a repair manual you could look up the codes yourself and clear the codes, if nessessary.
No scan tool needed.

I know that my local honda dealer would cover this repair for free... it has a limited lifetime warranty on those as long as u own the car... i dunno how close is a honda dealership to u, though... call or email them to verify...

 

TCM - tranny control module same thing different name. But anyway jump the codes with a paperclip as mentioned above. But kinda sounds like your shift solenoid to me but jump them and see what it says.
