Code P1768
Hello Everyone!
I have a 98 Honda Accord Automatic 2.3L. Over the weekend the CEL came on. I took the car to AutoZone to get the codes. One is P0420, I'm thinking about doing the Spark plug non- fouler. Have anyone had any issues with this?
The other code is P0420. I coudn't find an exact answer for this code. Does this mean I have to replace the Transmission?
Definition:
Lock up clutch does not engage- stuck in 4th gear.
Probable Cause
1-Open or short circuit condition in pressure control solenoid A circuit
2-Poor electrical connection
3-Failed pressure control solenoid A
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

If the car drives fine and your tranny fluid is red and smells fine you should be OK.
On my V6, I had an electrical problem that triggered the tranny to not work right. D4 was flashing. I just fixed that electrical problem and reset the ECU by disconnecting the batt and the problem went away.

Thanks,
I guess I'm going to do the Spark plug non- fouler as is the second time that I get the P0420 code. The tranny fluid is red and smells fine. I already reset the light by disconnecting the battery. I'm just going to wait and see if I get the P1768 code again. Where can I check to see if its and electrical problem?

Unfortunitly, you are kind of in the mercy of the codes to find problems.
I added a remote starter that initially was confusing the transmission computer so i knew what the issue was. I changed the wire that was tied to the starter crank and it was no longer confusing the tranny ECU.
Do you get a D4 flashing when you start the car? The D4 should light up steady when you just start, not flashing.

I had a 98 & I had the Helm repair manual. There were pretty detailed procedures for all the codes. I fortunately never had to deal with a tranny problem, and I don't own that car or book any more.
The list that I kept simply says
P1768 (16) stuck in 4th; L-U-Clutch not engaging
I didn't 'save' the actual diagnostic procedures...
The lockup solenoids are at the front of the tranny, sorta against the radiator, #8 in the picture. Without better information, you could just look for loose/dirty/corroded plugs. Even if you need those valves, that's WAY better than needing a new tranny.

The D4 Have never flash, it always lights up steady.
I got the Check Engine light when I was on the Highway. Maybe I was giving it too much gas? I'm just waiting to see if I get this P1768 code again.
Thanks alot for the diagram JimBlake I would take a look at the plugs.
Thanks alot guys.
