Hello I'm new to this forum I have recently purchased a used RDX 124k tech package.
the RDX was riding perfect for about 3k miles
as I came to a red I stopped.as the green light came I hit the gas pedal and it just felt like it was in neutral . So I put it in park and back to drive. The RDX took off as I get on to the highway about 4 miles down the engine light came on check trans came on and a flashing green D light was blinking.i finally made it home and put the scanner and pulled p0976 Shift Solenoid 'B' Control Circuit Low.
i deleted it and comes right back on about 2 seconds after it's cleared
so I took it to the dealer and they told me I need to replace the solenoid. I replace the solenoid
Started the car and no light but after a minute it came on ...So I cleared code again and put in on drive and drive around the block .The transmission shift perfect no problem. As soon as I put back up to my house and put it back on park the code comes back on.....Idk what to do anymore I'm clueless I replaced alternator thinking g it was a voltage problem battery checks out good and trans oil level is good ....I'm clueless....I also noticed a ground wire on the passenger side from the strut tower to the engine mount look like it's no good but I really don't Kno what else to do please any help is good

 

the wires connecting that solenoid may be loose/cut/chewed by a mouse. Examine it carefully

 

First change the ATF. Use only Honda DW-1. It may have never been changed and could cause the solenoid to stick.

If what you call a ground wire is the wheel speed sensor wire and it is broken it needs to be replaced.

 

Thanks for the help....I check the wire they all check out good

 

I changed the fluid as I replaced the sensor ....And the wire is not a speed sensor ....The wire I'm talking about is a ground on the passenger strut that connects to the engine mount

 

I still seem to have this problem idk why I have literally checked everything

 

did you drain and fill with new fluid?

 

Yes I bought 4 quarts of trans oil from Acura

 

I've checked continuity between the plug and also checks out fine

 

Sounds like it is dealer time

 

first thing i did was take it to them and they told me i needed a sensor. to wich they gave me the part number , i ordered one off ebay and installed it and i still have the same problem

 

About that strut ground wire...

I just searched Brenardi Acura parts diagrams to see if I could find that part and I can't seem to find it.

What I did find are the wires that are part of the wheel speed sensor assemblies that have a mounting clip on the strut. It then goes to the wheel.

You might want to try to find the "ground wire" yourself at Brenardi.

Or go to the chassis section, then open the knuckle diagram to find the front sensor assys. that I saw.

Here are the parts I found
Fr L sensor assy pn- 57455-STK-A01 MSRP-$36.58 $26.34
Fr R sensor assy pn- 57450-STK-A01 MSRP-$36.58 $26.34

 

Oh, I forgot to say that if either one of those sensors fail it will mess with lots of things. One of the things is controlling the transmission shifts.

 

thanks for the help....the wire I was talking about is a ground and I have replaced it ....still same issue.....how ever I have another question is it possible the PCM failed ....I did noticed the PCM bolts were very loose .....the reason why I ask is because if I cleared the code and let the ignition switch on the ON position the light comes back after like 3 minutes....with the car still off ....I just don't get it I check the continuity between the wire...I've replaced the wire I replaced the fluid and still all I have left is the either the sensor is still bad or the PCM failed

 

hello sir✋🏽
Did you ever figure out what the problem was??

 

no I never did, there was a massive flood by where I live, insurance totaled it about and I got paid I am currently careless although I am looking to buy another 1g rdx
