Honda Pressure Switches

[@Dino-uc5or]

Thank you Gary Ferraro for the explanation on Honda pressure switches. Thanks for your videos.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Thanks Gary very much enjoying your videos on all the different types of transmissions. Like I’ve said in previous comments my 99 Accord with 60k miles and my 07 odyssey with 70k plus I just like to be aware of what to watch out for. I have scanners and scopes and enjoy mechanics my whole life it’s in my blood but but thank you for sharing 👍 Artie

[@andrewgrant6976]

Thanks Garry last night I put the sensor into some tiolet bowl cleaning and it foam for a while den I use a little to clean down in the sensor hole and try it back and it start working perfect

[@niemand000]

What did you use to clean down in the sensor hole? Has the sensor continued to function with no problems?

is Honda circling the drain or what... these simple parts are not rocket science like the machined gears

[@robkenna2795]

Thanks you sir, very informative, i was looking for a ohm spec but now i know these switches are just on/off. Just installed a engine and car developed this 843 code. car never had trans issues and seems to shift fine, So i am thinking i may have possibly tugged on the wire when i was disassembling. At least i can check source volts at plug while wiggling things around or see if switch could be stuck in a closed position. Briliant info

[@wilfredosalas7455]

I have a 2008 Ridgeline RT and the D light flash, I would like to know the location and how many transactions pressure switches do I need

[@GaryFerraro]

not sure where the switches are located but according to shopkey pro there may be 2 of them

[@MrCt302]

I changed my 3rd gear pressure switch twice with 2 new honda switchs. And my d light still flashing.. I have that p0848 code. Even changed the harness that to te 3rd gear pressure switch and still flashing.. I haven't had a chance to check the voltage yet.. 04 acura tl.. Do the old switch and new switch have the same voltage?

[@ruanddu]

Ever figure out the issue?

[@ruanddu]

Hi Gary, thanks for the video. Tranny slamming into lower gears on occasion with Odyssey. No codes or D light. Honda did software update and triple ATF drain with no change. Would changing all 6 pressure switches be next logical step though there are no codes?

Thanks for your very detailed and informative videos. I have two Acura's. One 2007 MDX and a 2005 MDX that are showing some of the same symptoms. On both they are not producing any codes and the drivability is good. The issue with the 05 is that when I shift into reverse from park or drive is takes longer than what i think should be normal ( about 2 sec). The 07 has similar issue but when I go from reverse to drive it takes a few seconds to engage as well. Fluid drain and fills have been done very regularly using Honda fluid only. Any advice would be appreciated.

You say this @ 3:20: The switch is bad if we get either 5 or 12 volts at probe. What should the voltage reading be if the switch is good for a 2006 Acura TSX?

its all the same volts . You disconnect the pressure switch, if you have 5 or 12 volts on the harness side then the switch is bad

There are only two pressure switches, 3rd & 4th, on my '05 Pilot...Thank God for that after seeing how many they use on the Odyssey....yikes! Would it be too much to ask of Honda to keep the color of the updated switches the same as the originals? This is madness and stupid if you ask me. I've owned Honda's almost my entire married life ('83-present) as I fell in love with my buddy's '82 Accord and I just had to own one when I had the funds to do so. We bought an '85 Civic sedan, traded it in three years later for an '88 Accord LX sedan which we owned for around fourteen years. I currently have a '98 CRV with 301K miles which I drove off the dealer's lot of that year and an '05 Pilot which I bought in '13 with 99K miles under her belt...currently has 231K on it. I mention all of that because like many old-school Honda fans I feel they've lost their way and this pressure switch fiasco is evidence of it. Great video, BTW...thanks.

Hi Thanks What good universal tools or mechain for test shift solenoid and TCM Thank very much

[@rudolphhaas2887]

After unplugging the switch would you check for voltage at the plug or at the switch? The video says to check for it at the switch.

Gary - I have read that a good spray of brake cleaner in the hole of the sensor can fix this 90% of the time. Poor fluid quality whatever might get stuff in it. Tap it on hard surface and dislodge junk. Thoughts or experience with that? BTW excellent video. Thank you!

[@hondaphan4172]

I would love to hear him address this issue. Thanks for the heads-up on a possible cure but we gotta keep in mind Gary has a business to run and to keep the revenue flowing repair shops need to make money from the mark-up on parts which is usually double their actual cost.

Hello, for Honda CRV 2008 AWD got the P0842 code, 2nd Clutch Pressure Switch. Unfortunately my dealership only got 3rd Clutch Pressure Switch (Green Color Part No. 28600-RCL-004). I remove the 2nd Clutch Pressure Switch (Grey Color) and install the 3rd Clutch Pressure Switch (Green Color). "D" Light stops blinking and everything is fine, but is there a potential risk? You mention some PSI settings, should I change it again for the proper one (Grey Color Part No. 28600-RCR-004) and remove the installed leaving it as a spare when comes P0847/P0848.

Thank for the information, greatly appreciated!

[@diverdon55]

Good video thanks .. Seems like with the "updates" and color changes it would be hard to confirm you have the correct switch .. Best luck would be the dealer looking it up with the VIN ..I guess ..I worked in dealers ..their not always fool proof either ..Could you do damage if given the wrong switch ? what are the differences ? is it just the pressure that runs the switch ? I worry to much and just want to be sure to get the right one ..Mines grey ...I think I heard you say their black now ..Thanks for any advice you can give me

[@GaryFerraro]

the difference is the PSI they close at, can't do any damage maybe just a check engine light with a code. Really have to find out what gear it's for if possible, i have shopkey pro so i can see part numbers and what gear it is for

So these pressure switches would throw a code when bad or there are cases where bad switch isn't triggering the code? Basically would like to know when these need to be replaced or what are the symptoms? Thanks!

[@GaryFerraro]

symptoms would be a flashing D light or check engine light, may not feel driveability problems. Most of the time the switch is the problem, a few times when it was a wiring issue, i found the car was in an accident

[@SvayaG]

Years ago, I had one giving me issues on my 07 Honda Fit without a code. I had a slight issue with hard shifting from one gear to another and another issue I couldn't find the source of (it might have been a hesitation? I don't remember anymore). I had taken to a Fit enthusiast group online and someone suggested one of the pressure switches. I had tried everything else so I figured I might as well and it fixed the problem I was chasing plus the hard shift. It was the lowest plug on my transmission and my splash shield was long gone so I think it was just water that had damaged it but it improved my gas mileage in addition to fixing the other issues. No idea why I never got a code for it.

[@tjjohnson210]

Thanks for the vid Gary. I have an 2008 Fit that I let my daughter take. Now it has problems. I think her husband replaced the drivers side half shaft and filled the transmission with cheap fluid and it was overfilled. Would that cause these trouble codes- p1780 p0767 p0762 p0757 p1747? I drained a little over a quart and filled with Lucas trans. fix. and the grinding that you could hear when idling in park is barely audible now but the codes remain. Am I correct in assuming the wrong transmission fluid was used?

[@GaryFerraro]

So you cleared the codes and they came back? or you did not clear the codes. Fluid wouldn't really cause that. Why change the axle?

[@tjjohnson210]

@@GaryFerraro Cleared and came back, ya good question. My guess is part of the plastic that covers part of the undercarriage and the right wheel well came off and was making a loud noise so that means replace the axel? Plus there's a recall on that part. I'd laugh with you but it might hurt. She's not talking to me so I don't know much. All the information I've researched says you must use Honda AT fluid or at the very least Dex VI full syn or it causes damage. Is this not the case?

[@lastof4brothers]

I have 12v across the pressure switch instead of 5v. What does that mean? I've swapped 5 different switches and still have same codes thrown and my tranny is shifting crazy. I also have codes for 4th pressure switch. I'm really confused. I need help.

[@GaryFerraro]

it can either be 12 or 5 volts, are you changing the correct switch

[@lastof4brothers]

@@GaryFerraro very sure I'm changing the correct switch. I guess I'm on my way to a new transmission. But I still don't understand why I have 12v instead of 5v stated by Honda. I just hope my ECU is in order.

2016 Honda Civic flashing d and engine light on. Car also doesn’t want to go after 40mph. 4 th gear pressure switch maybe? any help is appreciated

[@GaryFerraro]

Need to get the car scanned, to see what code you have. Usually a pressure switch code will turn on the check engine light or D4 flash, but it will not inhibit 4th gear, see if you could get the car scanned

[@glasser2819]

@@GaryFerraro it seems the Fail-Safe design is good enough to never shift two gears even with bad solenoids valves... right?

[@rickmarcotte2386]

Thanks for sharing this information Gary. Have you ever seen a restriction in a Honda shift solenoid screen result in intermittent DTC for one of these PSI switches? I’ve got a 2002 CR-V which will very intermittently flares the tachometer up upon the 2-3 up shift and set a DTC for the 3rd Gear psi switch. I plan to remove and thoroughly clean the solenoid valve body and neck test actuation. But wanted your opinion as to whether or not the momentary pressure loss occurring at the attempted upshift would set the DTC. Thanks!

No, These are mechanical codes thats points to something internal, Trans is full of fluid? Honda's get the fluid checked with engine off

[@niemand000]

If the meter reads 0, then the switch is bad due to a broken wire. If the meter reads 5 or 12v, then the switch is bad. What if the switch is good? What should the meter read if the switch is good?

[@GaryFerraro]

if you have a code for a pressure switch, disconnect the wire and make sure you have volts on the wire, if you do, then your pressure switch is bad. If you have no volts on the wire, look for your wiring problem. 99% of the time the switch is the problem

[@niemand000]

@@GaryFerraro The problem is I'm getting no code, no check engine light, just an occasional flashing "D" on the 2006 Acura TSX with a screen that reads "Check Transmission". The flashing "D" and screen message go away when I restart the engine. I left an Autel AL-319 ODB2 reader plugged in while driving, hoping to catch a transmission code in action, and it still reads no code when the "D" suddenly starts flashing, which happens once every few weeks.

Despite changing both of the switches (the 2nd and the 3rd), the problem persisted. He finally went to a repair shop, and they diagnosed it to be due to faulty TCM (ECU).

2002 Honda CRV p0845 when I test switch with key on engine off I get no voltage on MM meaning switch is good, right? And this means wiring is bad, or could it be something else?

Ok so just to confirm, you unplugged the harness and checked for voltage with the key on and had no voltage, would either be 5 or 12 volts

@@GaryFerraro Correct I ran ground to neg battery cable and probed the inside of switch (3) behind front driver side tire. Key on engine off. No voltage. Shifts hard at 2nd and 3rd.
