Fixed my Honda transmission - with a new PCM!
zhlédnutí 395Před 10 měsíci
A difficult troubleshooting project led to a PCM replacement - hopefully this helps others out there! The PCM replacement fixed the transmission problem, increased fuel mileage and the car runs and shifts better overall. These PCMs may turn out to be problematic as we go along.

Be careful when you take off the little pane below the inside handle. I went a little higher than I should have and broke the corner on the door handle. It only snapped about a quarter inch. A minor issue and doesn’t affect the handle.
Joe, Watched the video many times thru. Read the comments. Gotta say, a huge thank you for putting this together. Looks easy enough to do. I got the PPE Deep Pan which will allow 4 more quarts over OEM qty. Sorry for some of the others somewhat rude comments. Your video is what makes the CZcams community such a great resource. I'm in WA state. If ever this way, you be sure to LMK and I'll buy ya a nice steak dinner. Thanks again, pal! Appreciate the time you’ve taken to post this.
@@yellowmanusa Thanks for the feedback! Glad this helped you. I didn’t know all the small details going into the project, but a lot of commenters helped fill in the gaps.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Joe! I got 'er done! Very easy like you said. Can't tell ya how much I appreciated your video. There are a few out there, but yours was my go-to. (Trust me, I've seen them all!) PPE Deep Pan went on like a glove. I used a MightyVac extractor and drained as much as I could from the standpipe bolt hole. Then cracked the OEM pan just slightly to allow a thin vac-hose in to suck the fluids out. Worked like a charm. I was able to see the exact amount of fluid sucked out. I added as much of the small amount of fluid that spilled into the container below (because a little will always spill no matter how careful you are) into the MightyVac container so I could get a super accurate reading on amount that I would need to replace. Then since the PPE Deep Pan adds exactly 4 qts. I knew exactly how much to add in total. After heating the fluid up using the same method you used, I only had to vacate just a slight little-amount to get the fluid to trickle out of the standpipe. For those of you reading this and wondering, I can tell you from mine, when I dropped my OEM pan, I got exactly 8.25 qts out of the tranny. I am the original owner of the 2022 GMC Sierra Denali 2500HD. The tranny was never serviced, and I have exactly 17,260 miles on the clock. I did also confirm some metal bits as big as a 1/8 the size of a grain of rice. Maybe 3 total, and the rest were metal shavings and very fine metal dust-like particles that would sparkle in the sunshine.
Concise and clear. Good explanation.
Unfortunately this car ended up getting a new engine installed. This repair fixed nothing.
Did they replace the ELD with this thing? Or do modern Hondas still have an ELD in the Fusebox?
Thank u sir.
Thank you!
So did you figure out what the problem was because I also took my driveshaft off and it was still making noise and this is after changing the hubs the bearings on both sides and Driver side axles in the front at this point I’m thinking is the front gearbox tranny tranny shits great smooth upsetting
My Kia Niro 2018 break light is out, is this the bulb just above in your video?
@@pavsplace967 I think so. The gray plug should be a brake light bulb. I would remove the gray plug and see the bulb model number that’s in there. Then I’d cross reference the correct brake lightbulb for the car and if they match then that’s the right one.
Thank you!
How the heck did you know it was the thermal fuses that did not work?
@@lamrof I have a background in electronics and a thermal fuse is a common failure for heating elements. Also, I used a multimeter to verify the fuse was not passing power anymore.
You are life saver!!! Thanks so much!!
Happy to help!
Thank you Sir old school hard times Mississippi 😊
It can BE reolaced by a Led?
I want to thank you for this video, just got done changing my left one a few minutes ago
@@mysterwhyte3535 you’re welcome! I’m glad this helped you.
WELL that grill is held on by those YELLOW clips and apparently you are supposed to use a screw driver and wiggle it around each clip in hopes to unlock them ! I spent more than an hour trying to see and locate those clips with NO LUCK !!!! So I drove to the local body shop in hopes to get some help . They also had no luck and just decided to try to rip it off the car . Only one clip broke and I went to the Honda dealer and bought a new clip . I also asked how much they would charge to just remove the front bumper ? I was told $257 dollars because it takes 1 1/2 hours of labor ... ( what the HELL )
@@diverdave4056 Those types of labor quotes are why I share my projects here. Some projects can be done my people that are good with their hands and can’t spend hundreds of dollars.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY I was SHOCKED that they said it would take 1 1/2 hours just to remove a few screws and pop tabs ??? if it wasn't a pain to find and release those yellow grill tabs - I can remove the whole bumper in less than 10 minutes ! 1A Auto sells the headlight housing far cheaper than the dealer and they guarantee them to fit and last a long time ! I installed them on my 2002 Accord and a few years later they fogged up - they sent me new ones
Actually, those reflectors are there for a pretty good reason. There have been many times I've followed vehicles with no lights on, and the reflectors were the only thing that kept me from running into them. I think I'll just leave mine alone, thank you very much.
@@user-bx7nw1ve6y Okay. Well…now my reflectors are on all the time since I always drive with my lights on. They also serve as extra turn signals to alert other drivers.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY How do you know your tail lights are always on? Electrical malfunctions do tend to occur. It's likely that none of the drivers I've encountered with tail light troubles knew the condition existed. This is just a really dumb idea that should be avoided for safety's sake.
@@user-bx7nw1ve6y 😂So, if I mysteriously have a total tail light failure…having additional tail lights is more dangerous. I understand you don’t like the idea. That doesn’t make it a hazard.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Having the lights all connected to the same faulty electrical system is what's dangerous. The reflectors are there in case that ever happens.
Any help on getting the amp out.....the one bolt is a sob
@@mikea4074 nope. I let it live right there.
How many litres of the cvt oil did you add?
@@jealous36 watch starting at 3:00
Tried last night, and I cannot for the life of me unscrew the cap. Any tips or tricks? I took off the fuse box for more room, but it’s like sealed shut. Taking some steroids and trying again tonight. Wish me luck lol
thanks Joe!
❤❤❤
Huge Help, Thank you so much!
Did this for my uncle who has the same car!
Can't believe dealership charges you anywhere from 75 to 100usd for this. Thanks a bunch!
Great video. I'm in the 45k range and will get this done. Very well explained and I appreciate the honesty when you're not quite sure of something.
Please review the comments. The “drain” plug is also how you set the fluid level. I learned this later. However we drove this truck another 50k miles towing almost daily with no issues.
Very good
What size line is that, I’m looking on Amazon. Is it 6mm opening with 3mm thick wall?
Thanks
Can it trace a wire that has 12v on it? Trying to find where a wire that has 12v on it's disconnected end is getting it's 12v from
So you have a wire with 12 Volts on it right now and you want to find out what circuit feeds that wire?
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Yep, and the installers (nitrous) did not fuse any of the control circuits so pulling fuses is unlikely to find (is difficult to pull fuses in this car.) I want to trace from the end of the wire to where it's getting the 12v. Can't disconnect wire since don't know where it goes.
@NoferTrunions I would disconnect the battery and attach the tester at the nitrous bottle or wherever you have the wire. Then try to trace that wire with the wand to where it goes. It’s best to use this tester on a circuit when it’s off. It will probably damage the tester if it’s used on a live 12V circuit.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY I'm also thinking even if the battery is disconnected (that's a 2 hour job on this car), if the wire had 12v 24/7, the PCM also has that, so the signal injector might possibly hard the PCM.
@NoferTrunions Two hours to disconnect a battery is wild. Sounds like a fully customized car?
Fantastic job
Thanks for video. Curious tho, your were getting a p1800, but the solenoid was good. So, what ultimately was the problem?
My solenoid was bad. The beginning of the video shows how the new solenoid works correctly. The rest of the video teaches you how to test the old solenoid to determine if it’s bad or not.
Short at to the point 10/10 job sir
end result?
Worked perfect.
So if I’m understanding your correctly the white clips things once they come detached you can’t just clip them back in with pliers? You have to replace the whole metal arm? Reason being is I replaced the motor but not the arms The I explained to my dad that the arms can not be broken and when I was screwing the 10 mm bolts down he was supposed to be holding the arm things in place but he pried it apart I KNEW RIGHR AWAY WE WERE SCREWED but he insisted that they can pop back into place well now my wipers don’t work and I explained that that was the reason why and he thinks I’m wrong! I’ve checked the wires and everything even with a multimeter and the only other option is he BROKE IT!
@@areamer1 I’ve never tried to clip them back together because when mine have failed those white clips have broken into a couple pieces. If your clips are not actually broken you can try to clip them back on, but I’m suspicious that the clips were brittle already and maybe it wasn’t really Dads fault they broke.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY Thank you for the fast response! 1 did pop off only because he was holding it steady with a crow bar and it popped it up but it only popped the top of it off so it appeared he was able to "pop" it back on but when everything was put back into place the wipers wont move but you can hear the motor moving so I know that works. before we changed the motor we were hearing unseen noises loud and no movement would come to the wipers so I knew the motor was blew so now there is no noise with the new motor and the wipers are not moving along the window
Without seeing it in person this is a tough diagnosis. You might have the motor misaligned with the arms. Or the arms may be disconnected at the motor now.
How to remove the cover
La pantalla del 2015 es la misma que la 2012 tiene la misma caída gracias
Just did my rear coils and shocks, front coil/shock, tierods and sway bar links on both sides. 100% listen to this man and cut off those sway bar links. I wasted an hour and took 1 nut off. I found it was easy to cut the lower sway bar link after removing the outer tie rod. My driver side camber bolts were rusted together and i was spinning the NUT AND BOLT. I needed to hit it with a blowtorch and break it forwards and reverse with a breaker bar.. My Hercules 1/2 " impact with 22mm couldn't break it. I successfully did my front and rear end today and got an alignment! Thanks man what a great video!
Oh btw, the estimate for the rear shocks and coils was $2.5k and the estimate for the front shock/coil tierod and swaybarlinks was 3.5k I bought all the tools i'll ever need for $800 I bought $1k in parts. As long as someone like this makes a video I won't take my vehicles to an auto shop.
@NicolasIchihara Those quotes are bizarre and probably close to the vans value. WOW.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY yeah I live in a weird place. I stay in an apartment adjacent to a private golf course and surrounded by mansions. Other shops were about half the price. I got my 2013 sienna for 10k last year.
Agreed! Cut off the sway bar. The Allen wrench was a
Thank you so much for this video! It was worth the 3 hours. (i had trouble with some clips)
Thanks!
@@darrellfaison7778 I’m glad this helped you!
Why don’t you show how you actually did it those two wires did you collect it together and then put it in there in the groove and then tighten the bolt so they’re on the same thing
I explained it exactly as it’s done. Those two wires have ends on them already. The bolt on the new terminal goes through both of the ends and you tighten the bolt to secure them.
What is the Model # of this item?
I’m sorry. I don’t know. When I need parts for things like this I send the manufacturer a picture and they help me identify the model.
I have 2016 chrysler 200 2.4L 161000 km. sometime in low rpm my car 5th gear jerk & shift shock im from dubai please advise i need to replace transmission fluid or something else?
Just did this on my '13 CRV. I filled as much as I could, massaged the upper/lower hoses and topped off. Everyone says once I start the car with heater on max temp and fans, the coolant level will be sucked down. Mine slowly raised and made a mess. After cleaning the mess on the ground and down the back of my radiator and all over my fan assembly, I turned off the car, put the cap on, and drove the car for a while and the heat eventually returned. I will check the level tomorrow.
Do you have a number. Or website I got a picture with a question ?
Of course it's a T55. Why wouldn't it be. Hex bolts have failed huminity time and again but thank the lord for torx!
Thank you sir!
Great job catching the angles and inside the housing. 👍🏽
Why you didn't show how you changed the negative terminal?? That's the part I'm stuck on.
Do you have the old terminal off?
fantastic video thanks
Was going crazy looking for that dip stick. So how do I check the level?
You can buy the dipstick on Amazon if you want to. Or you can be precise measuring what fluid comes out and replacing exact amount after.
@@JoesCarSmartsNY which is great if no one changed it before you and screwed up the amount they put in..
Thank you so much! I’ve had this issue for years, and have tried multiple fixes. I’m going to give this a try ASAP
