Honda utilizes these pressure switches in most of their 4-cylinder and V6 automatic transmissions, typically employing two per transmission. Four-speed applications often feature a second and third clutch pressure switch (see Figure 1), while 5-speed applications usually have a third and fourth clutch pressure switch (see Figure 2). Some newer V6 models, such as the 2007 and later Honda Odysseys, may even incorporate three pressure switches. Understanding the function and potential issues of these switches is paramount for effective Honda transmission repair.
A malfunctioning pressure switch can manifest in various driving symptoms, including harsh or delayed shifting, slipping, and unexpected flares. These issues arise because the pressure switch provides critical data to the transmission control module (TCM), enabling precise gear changes and fluid pressure regulation. When the switch fails to accurately relay information, the TCM cannot properly manage the transmission, resulting in performance problems.
Fortunately, replacing a Honda transmission pressure switch is generally a straightforward process. As externally located components, they can be accessed without requiring complete transmission removal.
