Hello gurus in the house.

Please can I change my transmission fluid from Dextron to Honda DW1 without flushing the transmission?

Flushing will cost much..... Can I just drain and replace?

What is OBD-II?

On-Board Diagnostic systems are in most cars and light trucks on the road today. During the '70s and early 1980's manufacturers started using electronic means to control engine functions and diagnose engine problems. This was primarily to meet EPA emission standards. Through the years on-board diagnostic systems have become more sophisticated. OBD-II, a new standard introduced in the mid-'90s, provides almost complete engine control and also monitors parts of the chassis, body and accessory devices, as well as the diagnostic control network of the car.


Where'd it come from?

To combat its smog problem in the LA basin, the State of California started requiring emission control systems on 1966 model cars. The federal government extended these controls nationwide in 1968.

Congress passed the Clean Air Act in 1970 and established the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This started a series of graduated emission standards and requirements for maintenance of vehicles for extended periods of time. To meet these standards, manufacturers turned to electronically controlled fuel feed and ignition systems. Sensors measured engine performance and adjusted the systems to provide minimum pollution. These sensors were also accessed to provide early diagnostic assistance.

At first there were few standards and each manufacturer had their own systems and signals. In 1988, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) set a standard connector plug and set of diagnostic test signals. The EPA adapted most of their standards from the SAE on-board diagnostic programs and recommendations. OBD-II is an expanded set of standards and practices developed by SAE and adopted by the EPA and CARB (California Air Resources Board) for implementation by January 1, 1996.


Why do we need it?

The Environmental Protection Agency has been charged with reducing "mobile emissions" from cars and trucks and given the power to require manufacturers to build cars which meet increasingly stiff emissions standards. The manufacturers must further maintain the emission standards of the cars for the useful life of the vehicle. OBD-II provides a universal inspection and diagnosis method to be sure the car is performing to OEM standards. While there is argument as to the exact standards and methodology employed, the fact is there is a need to reduce vehicle emitted pollution levels in our cities, and we have to live with these requirements.


Does my car have OBD-II?

All cars built since January 1, 1996 have OBD-II systems. Manufacturers started incorporating OBD-II in various models as early as 1994. Some early OBD-II cars were not 100% compliant.

There are five basic OBD-II protocols in use, each with minor variations on the communication pattern between the on-board diagnostic computer and the scanner console or tool. While there have been some manufacturer changes between protocols in the past few years, as a rule of thumb, Chrysler products and all European and most Asian imports use ISO 9141 circuitry or KWP2000. GM cars and light trucks use SAE J1850 VPW (Variable Pulse Width Modulation), and Fords use SAE J1850 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) communication patterns. CAN is the newest protocol added to the OBD-II specification, and it is mandated for all 2008 and newer model years.

You may also tell which protocol is used on a specific automobile by examining the connector socket carefully. If the dash connector has a pin in the #7 position and no pin at #2 or #10, then the car has the ISO 9141 protocol or KWP2000. If no pin is present in the #7 position, the car uses an SAE protocol. If there are pins in positions #7 and #2 and/or #10, the car may use the ISO protocol. The CAN protocol uses pins #6 and #14.

While there are OBD-II electrical connection protocols, the command set is fixed according to the SAE J1979 standard.




How do we measure OBD-II output?

Pre-OBD-II cars had connectors in various positions under the dashboard and under the hood. All OBD-II cars have a connector located in the passenger compartment easily accessible from the driver's seat. Check under the dash or behind or near the ashtray. A cable is plugged into the OBD-II J1962 connector and connected to AutoTap or another scan tool. AutoTap is available in PC/laptop. Other scantools on the market range from simple hand-held meters that display trouble codes, up to a large console computer-based unit costing thousands of dollars.


What good does it do to measure OBD-II output?

OBD-II signals are most often sought in response to a "Check Engine Light" appearing on the dashboard or driveability problems experienced with the vehicle. The data provided by OBD-II can often pinpoint the specific component that has malfunctioned, saving substantial time and cost compared to guess-and-replace repairs. Scanning OBD-II signals can also provide valuable information on the condition of a used car purchase.


Tell me about that "Check Engine Light".

The service industry calls the Check Engine light on your dash an "MIL" or Malfunction Indicator Light. It shows three different types of signals. Occasional flashes show momentary malfunctions. It stays on if the problem is of a more serious nature, affecting the emissions output or safety of the vehicle. A constantly flashing MIL is a sign of a major problem which can cause serious damage if the engine is not stopped immediately. In all cases a "freeze frame" of all sensor readings at the time is recorded in the central computer of the vehicle.

Hard failure signals caused by serious problems will cause the MIL to stay on any time the car is running until the problem is repaired and the MIL reset. Intermittent failures cause the MIL to light momentarily and they often go out before the problem is located. The freeze frame of the car's condition captured in the computer at the time of the malfunction can be very valuable in diagnosing these intermittent problems. However, in some cases if the car completes three driving cycles without a re-occurrence of the problem, the freeze frame will be erased.

OBD-II and your car's health

Because of their investment in the equipment required, most repair shops charge a fee, some-times substantial, to attach the scanning equipment and diagnose problems using the OBD-II system signals. Home mechanics and small shop technicians have been restricted from working with these signals by the cost and technical complexity of the equipment. With the introduction of more economical and user friendly scanning devices, it is now practical for almost anyone to access OBD-II signals and use them for their own testing and repairs.

Scanners vary greatly in their complexity. The best connect easily and use software to quickly and automatically call up the OBD-II information. A system connecting to a laptop or desktop computer provides expanded memory for data and a graphing utility.


Proprietary Sensor Readings

Though not part of the EPA's OBD II standard, the diagnostic read-outs used by dealership technicians are also read through the OBD II connector. These service codes show you such things as knock sensor operation, FI pulse width, ignition voltage, individual cylinder misfires, transmission shift points and ABS brake condition.  There can be over 300 readings available, depending on the vehicle manufacturer and model. Vehicles vary in the readings they will support. Scanners vary widely in the number of these signals that they can read.  Some show just the basic OBD or OBD II signals, others show the full range of service codes.


OBD-II and performance tuning

While the vast number of drivers want nothing more than dependable, economical transportation, many of us are looking to OBD-II for extra performance. Earlier on-board computer systems had chips that could be replaced to adjust engine parameters for extra speed and power. While the OBD-II systems are sealed and do not allow chip replacement, they do provide a real time data acquisition system that is useful to tuners.

Power loaders can actually reprogram the performance parameters of the OBD-II system to accommodate performance options. At the current time the number of models they can service is limited, but the range is being extended. Be sure the person doing your reprogramming keeps the car in compliance with EPA emission standards. As aftermarket manufacturers develop additional solutions, we will add their information to our links.

Engine has blue smoke when accelerating....smokes back when I rev at idling.

Vibrates when a.c is on.

I want to change the engine.

Am I on the right track?

Kindly respond.

Others can respond too.

Thank you all.

Yes oh. Especially if it was pulled out from a vehicle that has a carfax history. You’d take the engine number and search out more details of the vehicle it came out from like vehicles model, year and the history of maintenance on the vehicle along with the mileage these procedures were performed right until they pulled out the engine either because it had an accident or something.

So that’s why checking it out before buying is good. You’d be able to avoid buying a bad one if you could and buy the specific type for your vehicle. Also if a car had a head on collision you’d know if it bust through the chassis and affected the engine.

Thanks.

I appreciate your response.

Conner44:



Just know that if you’re buying a 2004 Honda Accord the chassis would have been manufactured that same year, I believe the interior components too and anything specific to that particular model year of that car’s trim level (E.g. gearbox, and suspension components)

As for the engine I can’t say. I believe the management of these companies have a specific amount of engines they want to produce for a season and then start building them. They will then store or send these built units to other factories for assembly. This is because two or three different models of their vehicles can share the same engine. They might build the engine last year and then it will be dropped into a vehicles engine bay this year but the design and specifications of that particular engine remains the one used in 2007.

A practical example is my situation. I’ve changed engine before. I drive a 4cyl Honda Accord but it’s engine is from a 4cyl Honda odyssey and it works fine.

Thanks.

I appreciate your response.

Before an engine can be said to be ‘high mileage’ it should have been used to power a vehicle further than at least 100,000 miles according to the vehicle manufacturers and it should be above 75,000 miles according to engine oil manufacturers (for warranty purposes) while individuals who utilize these engines usually see their vehicles as being of a higher mileage once they are in the 150,000 - 200,000 miles range because a properly maintained engine (from a manufacturer like Honda) usually surpasses the 500,000 miles range.

The 2007 Honda Accord uses either a K24A engine or a J30 engine. Different variations of these engines were used in Honda Accord models from the years 2003 - 2012. These engines all look alike with similar tops and bottoms but their main differences were in compression numbers and their throttle actuation modes (electrical or drive by wire)

In reality one can use the engines interchangeably between the Accord models but the only differences are if your vehicles ecu uses the cable or electronic throttle mode. So the engine top and bottom should work but you may need to switch the throttle body and/or intake manifold for it to be a perfect match.

An engine made in 2010 should have a lesser mileage than that made in 2003 all things being equal. That is why it is good to have a vin check on any tokumbo engine you wish to buy to determine the mileage, year and model of manufacture of that particular engine before buying it.

I will advise you to use a normal synthetic engine oil of the required weight for a tokumbo engine and if there are leaks handle it but if it’s burning then switch to the high mileage type before ever considering a higher weight of oil as a solution.

According to you, one can determine the milage of a used engine?

Are you sure?

Thank you. Your response is highly appreciated.

If I may ask, were all engines of Honda Accord 2007 produced in 2007?

timenamoney:
Belgium mean used engine , even if it is one year old

the miles an engine has run or cover is what makes it high mileage not 14 years , there are 14 years cars that have not hit 70k miles

Find a reputable mechanic with a compression tester and know the recommended compression for your engine to determine

A 14 years 150k mileage well maintained engine is better than 3 year old unmaintained engine

#timenamoney

Thank you. Your response is highly appreciated.

If I may ask, were all engines of Honda Accord 2007 produced in 2007?

have questions that have bothered me for a while.....

1. What's a Belgium engine?

2. If I buy a Belgium engine of Honda Accord 2007 for instance, is the engine 14 years old? ( 2007 when it was produced to 2021)

3. were all the engines of All Honda Accord 2007 produced in 2007?

That takes me back to question Number 1,

What is a Belgium engine?

Should I treat a Belgium engine of Honda Accord 2007 as high milage engine since "it was produced 14years ago?"

Gurus in the house....

Kindly give your inputs.

There is a thread for Honda vehicles all what you need is there.

That thread has so much complaints and there is no feedback from the complainer after the issue has been resolved.

GAZZUZZ:


Technically no.

Thank you.

Anyone?

A lot of people are spending much money on repairs that are not necessary simply because if wrong diagnosis.


Kindly share a problem.you had with your Honda cars and what you did to solve the issue.

Please kindly mention the car model and year.

I believe we will learn a lot From here and solve a lot of problems.

Thank you.

It's a CVT, there's no lock up clutch, no torque converter.

I use Detron II for transmission fluid in Honda Accord 2007.

I want to change to the recommended Honda Genuine ATF DW1

Will it hurt my transmission?

Please kindly reply

Thanks

xamodans:
Check your injector, get it serviced or change it if need be

Thanks.

I did that already. Same story.

I thank everyone for your comments.

I will do as advised.

Change the pcv!
Thank me later

What's pcv?

dkdmy:
How often do you change the oil?

Two months

Ok.

Are you in any form of bondage?

Come to Jesus for deliverance and salvation.
Jesus loves you.

He is ready to take your sins away no matter how terrible they are.

Accept him as your Lord and saviour he will give you the grace to live above sin.

Death comes to us all.


Run for your life. Run to Jesus.

In him is eternal life.

Don't discover the truth when you have already crossed over in death.

black smoke is not an indicator of oil burn.

It is an indicator of incomplete combustion.

You should scan the vehicle

Thank you.

My car smokes black only when accelerating but stops afterwards.

It burns oil too. However, everything else is fine. It fires well.

Any remedy? Can anything be done?


Or should I just change the engine?

You're welcome.

See,

This days, if you're a Virgin, you're not civilized.

If you don't steal, you be mumu.

If you say the truth always, you're a fool.


If you work well in your office, you're over sabi.

So?

Do what's good always regardless of what comment you get.

Hard work and dedication to duties is good and the reward is tangible. I speak from experience.

Facts:

1. We were warned. Some of us turned a blind eye to the Nigerian Factor.

2. If you cheated during the test, don't cry foul. You and ICPC are siblings.

3. Hope for the second list. If after few weeks nothing is forth coming, move on.

4. We can't do things the same way and expect a different result. Nigeria can't be like this and we expect merit from the blues.

5. Lastly, the kingdom of man has failed anywhere in the world.

Hope and pray for the kingdom of God to show up. That is if you belong to God truly. Else, las las, na devil kingdom you go settle for.

Pregift:
It's like you are right. I will try and stop doing more than my job description.


Hahahaha....why nah...ebi like say, you dey do pass your self for there nah.... assist head teacher kwa?

Speak to them politely and ask them to stop.

If they don't, talk to the Human Resources or any boss to address the situation.

Some of them call you that name because they envy your dedication to duties.


Don't stop doing what you do.


You will reap it someday.


Ps,

Why do you allow people to redefine you with their comments?

You put your happiness in the hands of humans?

Hmmm.

It is well.

This government should do better.

. Jesus is the only way to heaven.

Accept him and accept life. Reject him and accept the second death.

When you close your eyes in death, where would you find yourself?

Come to Jesus today and do his will.
