Service Bulletin October 31, 2015 15-077 02606 Version 1 Delay Engagement into Gear AFFECTED VEHICLES Year Model Trim VIN Range 2013–14 Accord L4 with CVT ALL SYMPTOM The customer may experience a more-than-normal delay when shifting into gear the first time after the vehicle sits for a long time. This may be intermittent. POSSIBLE CAUSES Fluid draining from the torque converter when the vehicle sits for a long time (usually overnight) causes the delay engaging into gear. CORRECTIVE ACTION Install the updated transmission lower valve body kit and update the PGM-FI software. NOTE: You do not need to drop the subframe to replace the lower valve body.

Raise the vehicle on a lift. 2. Remove the engine undercover. 3. Remove the transmission drain plug and drain the CVT fluid. NOTE: Clean and remove any metal particles from the magnetic drain plug. 4. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer. Page 3 of 13 5. Remove the transmission fluid pan, then remove the dowel pins. Remove the transmission fluid pan gasket; it will not be reused. NOTE: One fluid pan bolt is partially obstructed by the subframe. Remove it using a 1/4” drive 10 mm swivel socket. 6. Remove the transmission fluid strainer and the O-ring. Page 4 of 13 7. Inspect and clean the inlet opening of the transmission fluid as needed. Replace it if clogged or damaged. 8. Remove the transmission fluid temperature sensor connector. Remove the shift solenoid harness A connector from the harness bracket. Disconnect the following connectors: • • • Shift solenoid harness A connector. Shift solenoid valve B connector. Shift solenoid valve O/P connector. 9. Remove the guide plate and the bolts as shown, then remove the lower valve body. NOTE: • • When removing the lower valve body, do not damage solenoid wire harnesses A and B. Remove only the five lower valve body bolts and the two guide bolts shown. If an incorrect bolt is removed, you may be unable to remove the lower valve body. Page 5 of 13 10. Remove the 10.9 mm x 25.5 mm pipe and the O-rings. 11. Remove the 8 mm x 133.5 mm pipe. 12. Remove the 12 mm x 57.5 mm pipe and the O-rings. 13. Remove the 8 mm x 71.5 mm pipe. 14.

While installing the new lower valve body, be careful not to damage the pipes or the O-rings. 9. Install the guide plate. Page 10 of 13 10. Connect the following connectors: • • • Shift solenoid harness A connector Shift solenoid valve B connector Shift solenoid valve O/P connector 11. Mount the shift solenoid harness A connector to the harness bracket. 12. Connect the transmission fluid temperature sensor connector. 13. Install the transmission fluid strainer with a new O-ring. NOTE: • • To prevent O-ring damage, carefully install the transmission fluid strainer. Do not pinch the solenoid wiring harness. Page 11 of 13 14. Thoroughly clean the fluid pan and magnets (do not remove the magnets). Install the dowel pins, then install the transmission fluid pan with a new gasket. Tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern in at least two steps. NOTE: • • • Do not pinch or crimp the solenoid wiring harnesses. One fluid pan bolt is partially obstructed by the subframe. Reinstall and torque it using a 1/4” Drive 10 mm swivel socket. 15. Refill the transmission with Honda HCF-2 CVT Fluid. NOTE: • If you use an incorrect fluid, you will damage the transmission. • Do not remove the check bolt before or while refilling the transmission. Page 12 of 13 16. Check the CVT fluid level. CAUTION: The check bolt and the CVT fluid may be hot. NOTE: • • When checking the CVT fluid level at the check bolt, it is normal for the CVT fluid to be between the upper or lower level. A slow drip of CVT fluid indicates the proper fluid level. Do the CVT fluid level check immediately after the shift lever operation. - Apply the parking brake. - Start the engine in Park. - While firmly pressing the brake pedal, move the shift lever through all selector positions. Wait for at least 3 seconds in each position. - Move the shift lever back to Park. - Turn off the engine. - Remove the check bolt. - Check the CVT fluid level. - If necessary, add more fluid. 17.
