Eureka!!! I will explain in some minutes but my mechanic is angry with me for misleading him when he had been suspecting the real problem. I led him in another direction of the scan results.

adanny01:
I have seen that and have attempted to know if the Transmission Range sensor is different from Park/Neutral switch.

like many people you want to be spoon feed

once you obtain the code all is need is google the meaning of the code

you will find information on the code and it will give you possible causes of the faulty

instead of googling the meaning of the code you come here and post the code instead of using the internet u are using the post the code, use it to find the meaning of the code therefore you dont have to waiting for people to respond to your thread

nowdays information is within your fingertips aslong you have access to the internet

secnd picture show information from the 1st link

its easy as cutting butter with a hot knife when you have a code and you want to know the meaning of the code or what is causing the problem you are having after pulling out a code

adanny01:


I wonder why you had to drag me back to what i already know. If it where something i didnot know i would have asked? Isnt it obvious that i used my money to buy a scanner and know how to search for related faults? For your infomation i had bookmarked engine-codes.com since over a year ago. See my todays browser history, even before posting this topic i checked that code precisely around 9.02am 20mins after the car stalled. It is a tab of my browser since morning. Do you know how many youtube videos i watched today. I found the location if the transmission range sensor on you tube after google images failed in giving me a precise location. You should hv known better.

ZIMDRILL:


i didnt draw you back but you draw yourself back

you opened a thread trying to find some information and advice

you only explained the behaviour of the car and now after 1 or 2 of my input you start to release information about water getting in etc and some of the things you did such as finding more information etc

if you had mentioned all the information in the 1st post i wouldnt have wasted my time time trying to explain things that you would have done already

Piyke:
Thanks for coming back to update on the real culprit!

adanny01:


New update.

After trying all means to get my engine idle speed stable it stabilized by itself 24hrs later, that is, this evening. Secondly, the gear shifter lock that wasnt working started working about the same time the idle speed stabilized.

I have noticed a difference in the gear shifting. During fast acceleration, shifting is very smooth but its more pronounced on slow acceleration especially 1-2. Downshifting is not smooth from 2-1. It is strong like i suddenly stepped on the brakes. Overall, the gear is crisp and sharper but with the downsides of not so smooth up and downshift between gear 1 and 2.

Piyke:


Guess you didn't perform the idle learn procedure after the repair. This should always be done any time the ECU is reset or the throttle body is cleaned. As for the shifting, don't have a clue on what's going on

Guilty as charged.

I just didnt think the car was that 'smart'. I do remember that my office car had always too low idle after battery removal. That one had electromechanical trottle pedal against my the 03 Accord with a purely mechanical trottle pedal. After looking all over the trottle body for idle atjustment i realised that it is ECu controled and will require a relearning process thats why it took a day to.

On the gear, i am fully convinced that the ECU has control over that too which has now relearned its previous settings since everything i have noticed have return back to normal.

The funny thought i have is, why did the ECU (probably) lock the selector to Park and start working only when the relearning process was obviously completed. I see a connection. The ECU wanted me to relearn it before driving?!

Almost everything has returned. I confirmed my ac drain condensation pipe is discharging normally. Only problem now which started yesterday is that the drivers door central locking mechanism has failed. So the remote does not completely lock or open doors

Oga park well.seems u didn't read n comprehen what d op said.Everything is not goggle.D op didn't know what d transmission range sensor looks like.@op:stop all these self diagonising stuff,let a professional handles ur car n d fault will b rectified.

adanny01:


I dont understand the self diagnosing stuff you mean. Do you mean i should not scan my car, i should take it to an experience center for a 3k or more per scan session? Or invite a 'professional mechanic' who has no idea what a scan is to come and diagnose an obvious electrical problem in a fairly modern car? Do you know the town or location i had the break down and if a professional mechanic is available? From my post i believe it was obvious i wasnt alone since i had a electrical mechanic with me all through but who had no skills of scanning a modern car. The essence of my openning post is to find assistance in the diagnosis. I later posted that we invited a gear specialist because the only DTC code i had was gear related.

justcallbuki:
Its a shame u don't understand mi n didn't tell u to call road side mech.if u would av called a professional earlier,time n effort would av bn saved.buy a billion scanners,u will still need a pro to rectify such issue.na d 2-3k b ur problem.i rest my case

sultaan:
O2 might be bad you will need to scan and get live data while it is warm, read the voltage of the O2 sensors and check if normal there is a youtube video that will help you understand what i meant it migth just be it is not connected properly

Your idle going from 850-500 might be a vacuum leak or dirty throttle body.

Good thing you have learnt to scan first some other folks would have been taken for a transmission by now

adanny01:


Its a shame that i tried to let you understand but you just wouldnt. The ones i called that have been with me were the only professionals i had immediate access to at d location. Do you expect me to call a professional from Japan or what?

May be you should give me the number of this professional you are talking about because by your standards i dont have his/her number. Can i send him a flight ticket to come to Sambisa forest next time my car breaks down around there.

I dont know how else to politely explain to you o! In your line of thinking you didnt consider that the 'professional' may be 1000km away? Or that the professional may cost me an arm or leg? Or that there is a possibility that i know more than the available professional? Or simply i dont know any professional? Haba!

Merry xmas everyone.

Nigeria of today requires that every motorist know some stuff about their cars. I still remember an ugly experience I had at one of the so called 'professionals'; I mean the kind of place where you chill off in an AC cooled lounge watching DSTV and sipping juice while they work on your vehicle. Overgauged my oil the first time, then changed my brakes for a huge sum, claiming it was OEM only for me to discover it was the cheapest & useless AUTOBOSS brand weeks later...
These 2 experiences and lastly my asking my mechanic for an ATF change as per maintenance schedule and he declined saying the gearbox may fail afterwards made me forage into DIY which has been a very good experience. I also know when to seek help on tougher tasks and I perfectly understand you Adanny. Keep the DIY spirit up.

Lolzzzzzz.so sorry 4 that(laughing)true, some of we professional don't av conscience.I tell pple who care to listen to check d kind of auto mech they give their cars to repair or maintain.U can give those road side mech who was trained with old model cars to handle such sophisticated cars.Dd 2nd part of changing d ATF oil,won't blame d mech cos he is talking frm experience.I had such experience.Some customers won't tell u what is wrong with d car b4 telling u they wanna changge their ATF oil.If I may ask,Ao much did u paid 4 d brake pad?

disloman:
Did u change them at d honda palace?
