Default Accord Owners, your wisdom is needed
Friend of mine owns a 99 lx. CEL recently popped up. Told him to get it scanned and it came back with 3 things.

forgot the actual code, but it said specifically

-auxillary emissions
-manufacturer transmission malfunction?
-another transmission code.


sounds pretty serious. Anyone have any experiences like those?

what'd you do?

feels like its time to bust out the check book for a tranny and cat.

Dont jump to conclusions yet, could simply be input/output tranny sensors. I would put this in Tech Talk though

Is it a V6?
I think the only CEL problem I ever had with my 99 EX coupe V6 was the EGR Valve needed to be replaced. The first place I took it to was Williams Honda in Hampton, The charged me 70 bucks to look at it and basically said it was my Injen short-ram intake that was causing the problems.
Then I took it to Casey, Found that it was a bad EGR valve and replaced it. Instead of giving me a load of shit about my Intake.
So kudos to Casey Honda for that.

98-02 accords have terrible transmissions. Especially the v6. I would expect the worst. The trans during those years were complete pieces of shit.

I second that, seen 5+ issues (aka failed)with those trans, most with less than 100k miles on them

more importantly, WTF ARE THE CODES.... that would help, oh 100 times

Probably a PO740. Torque converter clutch failure. Take it to the dealer to try to get it goodwilled.

Pre 2000 Accords are actually less trans problematic.

The odds of that happening are slim to none, but it worth a shot.

Knock on wood. There are plenty of people on there third trans with 155k miles on these cars I just sold an accord that had to have it replaced at 98k and it had been slipping since 7x,xxx miles. I would never buy another acccord of these years with an auto trans.

Im pretty sure it was the exact same transmission only honda extended the warranty for 00-02 so people thought those were the only bad years.
