Honda Pressure Switches

In this video, I go over the function of the pressure switch, some Hondas can have 2 while late units can have 6. They are always external to the transmission with one wire going to the switch, the one wire will either have 5 or 12 volts with key on engine off. For the most part should be able to change them. Thanks for watching. I do a lot of talking in this video and show the switches at the end.

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

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. Thanks for your Video.

Can you tell me where the 2nd clutch pressure switch is located on the 3.0 V.6 2000 honda accord?

[@liberalforfreedom]

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

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.

Hi Gary, can you pls help me on this. I have a 2012 AWD CR-V. After replacing transmission repair kit I still have a down shift delay specially to 2 nd. Or I feel it as wrongly recognising the required gear for that particular instance of the vehicle movement. The repair manual gives just one part number for both pressure switches. But two switches has two different colours. Can i match the size and thread to replace an after market switch or should I always match a colour. Pls note there are no MIL codes but just delay in downshift on mild acceleration for nearly 6 months.

They could be the right part just different manufacturers use different colors

Very nice explanation on the switches. I have One question that noone seems to be able to answer. I have a 5 speed acura tl. Shifts really nice all the time but I have a delay into drive and into reverse about 4 seconds to engage. Could this be a shift solenoid? I'm guessing there might be blockage in the valvebody or internally somewhere. Been like this for months.

Does this all the time or only hot?

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?

Can these switches cause shifting problems without throwing a code? What do they do besides tell the computer the pack is full. Do they calculate wear like the Chrysler?Thanks

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.

[@GaryFerraro]

it's possible, could be internal problem too. do you have a scan tool to view data?

[@MrSprintcat]

@Gary Ferraro yes when my wife gets home from her road trip I will put the scan tool on it .if there are no codes. I'm guessing it is internal .I did change the trans fluid last year with honda type from the dealer .thank you again.

[@GaryFerraro]

@@MrSprintcat you could hook up the scan tool and see if the pressure switch is changing from off to on

[@MrSprintcat]

@Gary Ferraro I'm not sure my scan tool is able to do it. It's a cheap $100.00 autel. It does have a spot in the diag that I can see different values.i did notice the last month or so it would take some what longer to shift from 3rd to 4th.

As a test you can unplug your 3rd gear pressure switch and go drive around and you should notice it shifting a lot smoother. Hopefully your wiring harness doesn't break like mine when I unplugged it.
