’92 Accord autotrans won’t shift out of 2nd
I have a 92 Accord LX automatic that won’t shift out of 2nd gear when
in drive (up or down). It started off fine this morning, but before I got out of the neighborhood, I noticed it wouldn’t up-shift, then when I let of the gas, it didn’t downshift. Came to a stop, idled fine (TC dissengaged properly), but when I accelerated from a stop, still in 2nd. Shifting manually made no difference. Then I stopped, put it in park, turned off the ignition, restarted, no change. Park, reverse and neutral are all fine. Soloniod? Computer? I’m more familiar with manual trannies, so I’m stumped. -- Posted at author's request, using fully moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com/1992-Honda...forum-142.html interface |

I disconnected the battery, and everything went back to normal; tranny shifts fine, so I’m guessing not likely anything internal. I only drove it a couple of miles though, so tomorrow’s 40 mile commute is the test... I was a bit hastey backing out and going into drive when I left this morning, so I’m hoping that might have just triggered the TCM to go into limp mode or something.

Re: Re: ’92 Accord autotrans won’t shift out of 2nd
Update:
This morning the light was back on, and it was in a fixed gear again. However, this time it allowed me to manually shift into 1st, and all the other lights came on with their respective gears, even though D4 remained on as well.
