Honda HR-V: Shift Lock Solenoid Test (CVT)

Test

1. HDS - Connect

2. Shift Lock Solenoid - Test

1. Select the Shift Lock Solenoid Test in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, and check that the shift lock solenoid operates with the HDS.
2. Check that the shift lever can be moved out of P position/mode when the Shift Lock Solenoid is ON. Move the shift lever back to P position/mode, and check that it locks when the Shift Lock Solenoid is OFF.
3. Check that the shift lock releases when the shift lock release is pushed, and check that it locks when the shift lock release is released.
4. If the shift lock solenoid does not work properly, go to the shift lock system circuit troubleshooting.

SHIFT SOLENOID VALVE B TEST (CVT)

Test

1. Vehicle - Lift

2. Engine Undercover - Remove (With 2WD)

3. Shift Solenoid Valve B - Test (On Vehicle)

1. Disconnect the connector (A).

   NOTE:

   • To prevent damage, cover the connector using a shop towel.
   • Check the connector for corrosion, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary.
2. Measure the shift solenoid valve B resistance between connector (B) terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Standard: 8.9 - 12.2 Ω

• If the resistance is within the standard, go to the next step, and check the shift solenoid valve B operation.
• If the resistance is out of the standard, check for open or short in the solenoid wire harness, and check for poor connection at ground T13. If the solenoid wire harness is OK, replace shift solenoid valve B.

3. Connect a jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector (B) terminal No. 1, and connect another jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to body ground. A clicking sound should be heard.

• If a clicking sound is heard, the test is complete.
• If no clicking sound is heard, replace shift solenoid valve B.

4. Transmission Fluid Pan - Remove

NOTE: The actual transmission fluid (HCF-2) capacity will vary from the specified capacity based on the length of time the transmission fluid pan is off the transmission. Avoid leaving the transmission fluid pan off for extend periods of time.

5. Shift Solenoid Valve B - Remove

Fig. 25: Shift Solenoid Valve B With Torque Specifications

1. Disconnect the connector (A), then remove shift solenoid valve B.

   NOTE: Check the connector for corrosion, dirt, or oil, and clean or repair if necessary.

6. Shift Solenoid Valve B - Test (Off Vehicle)

1. Connect a tube (A) to shift solenoid valve B
2. Connect a jumper wire from the positive battery terminal to connector terminal No. 2, and connect another jumper wire from the negative battery terminal to connector terminal No. 1. Blow air into the tube (A).
   • If the air does not go out of the port (C), go to the next step.
   • If the air goes out of the port (C), replace shift solenoid valve B.
3. Disconnect the jumper wires. Blow air into the tube.
   • If the air does not go out of the port (C), replace shift solenoid valve B.
   • If the air goes out of the port (C), repair the wire between shift solenoid valve B and the PCM.

7. All Removed Parts - Install

1. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.

STALL SPEED TEST (CVT)

Test

1. Transmission Fluid Level - Check

2. HDS - Connect

3. Engine - Warm Up

1. Start the engine, and warm it up to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on twice).

4. CVT Stall Speed - Test

1. Apply the parking brake, and block all four wheels.
2. Make sure the A/C switch is OFF
3. Shift the transmission to D position/mode while pressing the brake pedal firmly, then press the accelerator pedal for 6 to 8 seconds, and note the engine speed.

   NOTE: Do not move the shift lever or remove your foot off the brake pedal, while raising the engine speed

4. Allow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in the all positions / modes.

NOTE:

• Do not test stall speed for more than 10 seconds at a time.
• Record the engine speed at 6 to 8 seconds after pressing the accelerator pedal. Higher engine speed will be indicated for 5 seconds.
• Stall speed tests should be used for diagnostic purposes only.
• The stall speed should be the same in all positions / modes.
• Do not test stall speed with a pressure gauge installed.

Stall Speed RPM

Specification: 2, 250 RPM
Service Limit: 2, 000-2, 400 RPM

5. If any of the stall speeds are out of the service limit, refer to the problems and probable causes listed in the table.
