Obekediamondfuto solution to Honda power steering problem is here oh

adanny01:


Warning, long epistle.

Back then, my mum used a 1996 accord. We had serious PS issues with the car starting from when my dad decided based on one corrupt mechanic's advise to change the PS pump that was leaking PS fluid. A "toks" pump was installed but failed the next day. I returned the car to same mechanic but guess what, he said he threw it away and someone must have carried it . For more than a year we changed 3 more pumps, all gave up within less than a week.

My mum wrestled with that steering for over a year until i travelled for a wedding with the car to Jalingo, Taraba state. The alternator gave up. I got a toks and used the mechanic to do some other checks on the car. After the repairs, the mechanic drove the car and was disappointed about the steering. He recommended his boy check it but i was skeptical. He insisted, i obliged. Luckily, i had the 2 non working pumps in the boot. This mechanic bought N500 fuel, chose 2 of the pumps, opened both then chose one. Washed it throughout, bleed the steering rack of all PS oil (ATF). He bought 1 litre of road side drum engine oil. Reinstalled everything back.

Voila! It took 3 years before we had any issue(steering hose leak).

On my own car, 2003 accord, i had a steering rack seal leak January this year. A mechanic said he can change the seal. He did the change successfully but used Seahorse Dexron III ATF to refill the PS system. Steering was perfect, so I thought.

Drove to a filling station to add fuel during that fuel crisis, the steering totally went out on me, i almost crashed into a parked car. PS was totally out and pump whinning/fuming. I thought air was getting into the system. Managed to park in the fuel queue. 10mins later line moved, started engine and steering came back perfectly. Line moving slowly, 2mins later whine started and PS went out again. From then on, 2mins after restarting the car it will go out and 10mins if its a cold start. The pump will be untouchable due to how hot it was. The next one month i did several DIYs, installed clips in all joints, tried all bleeding methods, washed the PS fluid reserve tank and up to 5 total pump disassemblies tweeking one thing or the other each time.

The frequency of the problem reduced when i spilled the PS fluid in the reserve tank and filled with engine oil. So it was part ATF part engine oil. This time, ps never goes out completely but whining is present just like before.

I took the car to Panteka Kaduna, (for those who know), they do some magic with parts there. The recommended PS pump specialist inspected the car, dipped his pinky finger in the PS pump fluid, then told me, you have no problem. He said, "go drain the entire PS fluid and put in engine oil".

I bought 1 litre Forte Visco 2000 engine oil (red coloured). Read up on how to change PS oil. Removed the reserved tank, emptied and washed it with petrol. Put a 75cl eva water bottle in the ps return pipe. Ran the engine until ATF stopped flowing. Reinstalled the tank, filled with engine oil, ran the engine for 10 secs. Topped the engine oil again. Ran engine for 20secs. Gauged it.

Viola! Till this moment, no whine, no whatsoever.

hello all,
pls i am in need of a good parts seller for honda accord. if any online better or a recommendable dealers number in lagos

luvinhubby:


Check the wire harness or replace the shift lock sensor.

Tell your mechanic the 'counting switch', he will understand.

captainking:
boss..good morning... I told a mecho about the counting switch.. And he said the gear box will be brough Down for him to check.. Is this true..??

Gurus in the house....my accord 2012 displays TPMS light on the dash......I gauge all the tire to have same pressure (40) and the light is still up......how can I get rid of the TPMS light.

uncle005:
Please Guru in the house, can you give us all specific oil we should for our honda such as Engine, Steering, brake, transmission and coolant etc.

Secondly, i observe an amber sign on my dash board that look like camera, it stays doesnt go off and brake also show permanently, need help.

luvinhubby:


Specify car year, type and engine capacity

uncle005:
2007 model DC, 2.4cl

luvinhubby:


Engine - Honda 5W-20 Synthetic blend

Transmission - ATF-DW1

Steering - Honda PSF

Coolant - Honda Type2

Brake - Dot3 brake fluid

The 'camera' light is the emission malfunction indicator, a scan will likely point to an O2 sensor or catalytic converter.

Check your brake oil level alongside the pads or the brake light bulbs, one of the two is bad.

luvinhubby:


Looks like that.

1 or 2 is either bad, probably yanked off by the 'fukanizer' that repaired your tyre.
A scan will point to the tyre that has the faulty one.

Luvinhubby, Gazzuz.
In the morning or when engine is in cold state, My Honda accord 05 doesn't start at once. Will have to hold down the throttle pedal sometime for it to start. And when it does rpm pedal stays low at about 0.5. Then it take a long time to warm up after which ROM gets to about 0.8

Mentioned this to my mechanic (Kazeem) he said its the spark plugs. Even though he hasn't checked.

What could be the cause of this please so I don't start trial and error.

Note error code when scanned is cam position sensor

mayor2013:


Inspect camshaft position sensor and it's wiring. A cold start hard start. Check coolant temperature sensor as well.

luvinhubby:


RUN!


Looks like this, at the base of the gear, outside.

Freeman147:
My CRV 99 v4 speedometer is no longer moving, initially (last week) it kept bouncing(erratic) like a moving compass till it finally stopped and has not moved ever since.

We changed the Atf to oando II dextron. My mechanic called a rewire who said a Sensor within the bonnet is bad(even after washing it), still no response.

I've not driven it since, as the gears(1-2) take time to engage, and when I engage the Reverse gear, their is a slight jerk.

I was advised to change the sensor before driving it so not to damage the tranny.

Pls house can someone clarify or help?

ADEYINKASaleem:
Hello Luvinhubby,

Please i need original ATF DW1,
i think the last i got seems substandard and my tranny is about to start misbehaving before i buy market please
Your phone number will be appreciated

GAZZUZZ:


sounds like vehicle speed sensor mounted on the Gearbox. It has a mechanical part (it turns) and an electronic part (monitors the turns) start by testing device when it's not in the gearbox, pull it out of the gearbox, have it connected leave ignition on and spin the gear at the base by hand while another person watches the odometer.

If it moves, you have a problem inside the gearbox.

if it remains static you can try another sensor.

Freeman147:
@GAZZUZZ, thanks for the advice.

But which is the "LESSER EVIL"? A change of sensor or a look into the transmission?

I'll explain and participate with my mech/rewire and report back here.

Readonee35L:
Honda Pilot 2003 .
Problem : low detonation Knock. If vehicle is in neutral its normal. But when under load it makes ignition knocks

Fuel has been changed still no change.
Check engine light only points to Oxygen sensor and i dont think that's the cause. There are no misfires and vehicle revs just fine.

Who has an idea of wah could be wrong.



As for the oxygen sensor i dont think they are bad because both of them came on together sensor 1&2. I read somewhere that a blown fuse controlling the sensor could trigger p0135 and p0141 .

GAZZUZZ:


excessive build up of carbon in combustion chamber. Try fixing the 02 sensor codes.
