Powertrain Control Module (Pcm)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Honda Odyssey, 1998 Honda Accord, and 1998 Acura 2.3CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PCM receives information from various input devices and uses this information to control shift, A/T clutch pressure and lock-up control solenoid valves. See Fig 1 . The PCM contains a self-diagnostic system which stores a fault code if a failure is present in transaxle electronic control system. Fault code may also be referred to as Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) or Flash Code. DTC or Flash Code may be retrieved to determine transaxle problem area. See SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM  . The PCM is located below instrument panel under front lower panel in center console area on Accord and under right side of instrument panel on all others. See Figure and Figure .
