REVISION SUMMARY
Accord information was added to AFFECTED VEHICLES, WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION, PARTS INFORMATION, and REPAIR PROCEDURE.
SYMPTOM
When cold-starting the engine and shifting to Reverse, the engine stalls in the first 10 to 14 seconds.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
There is too much oil clearance between the input and stator shafts, which allows ATF to drain out of the torque converter during extend off periods. During a cold start, when the torque converter is refilled, air gets trapped in the torque converter. This applies the lock up clutch, which stalls the engine.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
If the vehicle stalled, there will be a PGM-FI on-board snapshot. Follow the INSPECTION PROCEDURE to retrieve and analyze the snapshot. Replace the transmission if required.
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
The normal warranty applies.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- Connect to the vehicle using the i-HDS, and navigate to System Selection Menu, PGM-FI
, then On-Board Snapshot
.
- Download the on-board snapshot. There may be several files. Find the one titled Full List-Engine stall 2
.NOTE: If there is no snapshot, this service bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system troubleshooting.
- Select the Configuration icon.
- Select the following parameters, then select the Line Graph
icon.
- Engine Speed
- Vehicle Speed
- PNP Switch
- ECT Sensor 1
- Brake Switch
- ATF/CVTF Temperature
- Eng Run Time
- AT LC SOL VLV ACTUAL
- Select the AT LC SOL VLV ACTUAL signal, then the Line Graph Set Up icon.
- Change the Max scale to 1.5
, then select OK
.
- Compare your snapshot to the one below.NOTE:
- ECT Sensor 1 and ATF/CVTF Temperature should be almost the same and under 180°F .
- The transmission will be in gear.
- Eng Run Time should be between 10 and 14 seconds .
- Engine stall will happen right after the torque converter fill control shuts off.
- If your snapshot compares to the sample, send your snapshot to Tech Line using the RO number. Then, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE .
- If your snapshot does not compare, this service bulletin does not apply. Continue with normal system troubleshooting.
NOTE: You do not need to call Tech Line. Send the on-board snapshot to Tech Line. If there is no snapshot, the transmission order can be rejected and/or the warranty claim may be subject to debit.
