I blew compressed air into the exposed open holes where the Dual linear solenoid and front single were. View attachment 138623 View attachment 138624 Removed and cleaned the dual linear solenoid on top and the front single Removed Inline filter, this was absolutely the original with 265K miles I found a new wiring harness for a great price on ebay but before I installed it I applied three coats of brush-on rubberized insulation to the exposed wiring to prevent it from happening again.ĭumped in a bottle of lube gard Transmission Flush from Rock Auto to prep and clean trans internals before drain - 15 mintues, cycling thru gears in driveway with Pbrake on.ĭrained nasty fluid, it looked well past it IMO I cut off the corroded wires and crimped on some ring terminals as a temporary solved. Solenoid B is located closer to G-151 than A&C so that's the only reason why I wasn't getting a trouble code for it. I was getting continuity on A&C's wiring terminal but there was just enough corrosion on the small wires connecting to G-151 which caused the resistance to be just high enough to trigger the trouble codes. It took me awhile but I eventually figured out what was going on. Aren't the shift solenoids under the starter A&C? I was getting a flashing D on my '05 around two years ago along with the trouble codes which signified an open circuit in shift solenoids A&C.although I never got any trouble codes for shift solenoid B which is located on the top of the transmission. I have not pulled and cleaned the front single solenoid because the scanner did speak to problems there.Īny other ideas, or things I should check before road testing again to see if this issue continues?ĭid you check the transmission ground? It's located on the side of the trans and facing the driver's side 's labeled G-151 in the FSM. Pilot appears to have original inline trans filter which I understand you don't change unless you rebuild. I have not changed fluid but have a case of honda DW1 coming. Live tests with scanner indicate everything is triggering AFAIK. Connections look good and clean with no corrosion. While they weren't terribly dirty they are clean now and chose to swap the brown for brown locations and black for black locations thinking that if the code switches to solenoid A, B, C or whatever failure then something is wrong with that solenoid despite bench testing good. Cleaned and bench tested all 4.they all click when cycling with a 12 volt power source, and test with a multi-meter to 16.1 or 16.2 ohm consistently. I did locate the 4 single shift solenoids, with brown and black connectors, 2 under starter and 2 under thermostat outlet radiator hose. Per the advice of the inner-webs I did pull and clean the dual liner solenoid on top of trans, cleaned and reinstalled. Using the scanner I also ran some live tests and checked values but don't really know what they mean. Tried a better code scanner, my foxwell 510.it confirmed shift solenoid A failure. Not safe when pulling away, and likely deteriorating what's left of trans. Its enough to get up to hwy speed but without using the column shifter its limping around like its stuck in 2nd always. If I shift by column and select it pulls out better and begins in 1st, and will go into second but seems to cease shifting up after that. Road tested, pilot is down on power and not shifting, but also NOT apparently slipping either. What began with a shift solenoid code which we cleared with an autozone scan tool and ran for about 500 more miles has now left us with an unclearable shift solenoid code specific to solenoid A and consistent driveability issues and the infamous FLASHING GREEN D (Drive position). ![]() Subject Pilot - Original owner 265K miles on 2004 EXL original trans, service up to date for the most point. Hi, need some help, trying to save my father in law's Pilot, and unwilling to give up on it without trying a few things and before spending a lot of money on guesses.
