Re: What gear am I in?
If you want an automatic, but really want to know what gear you're in, you
should have gotten a model with the "auto-stick" feature on it.

Re: What gear am I in?
From Shop manual 1997 accord:
Shift Control Solenoid A B 1st OFF ON 2nd ON ON 3rd ON OFF 4th OFF OFF You could simply use these signals to drive a couple LED's, or better yet make a karnaugh map to map these inputs to a seven segment display to show 1 2 3 4 as needed. Yes, I have thought of it and yes I am a geek :-) Also note that the above pattern is a 2 bit Gray Code. This pattern ensures that only one bit changes at a time as it sequences. In fact, a gray code to 7 segment circuit seems to be a classic engineering homework problem, so there are many references to this on the web but fewer answers :-) The remainder is left as an exercise for the student. - Jerry |
