Remanufactured Unit Installation Note

Use or Plug VSP Sensor Hole in Reman Transmission

The '00-01 Odyssey with the navigation system has a differential driven vehicle speed pulse (VSP) sensor. Its signal is used to calculate vehicle speed for the climate control system and the navigation system. The '99 Odyssey, the '00-01 Odyssey without the navigation system, and the '98-02 Accord V6 use a vehicle speed signal that the ECM/PCM calculates from countershaft speed. This signal is shared by all systems that need a vehicle speed input.

Although only the '00-01 Odyssey with the navigation system uses a VSP sensor, a transmission may still have the hole machined in the transmission case to accommodate a VSP sensor.

When replacing a transmission:

- If the old transmission had a VSP sensor, make sure the reman unit has a hole above the differential for the sensor.

- If the old transmission didn't have a VSP sensor, make sure the reman unit has no hole or the hole is plugged with a bolt-on cap.

- If the reman unit needs a cap, transfer it from the old transmission before you return the core.

- If the core was returned before the cap was transferred to the reman unit, or if the original transmission didn't have a hole in the case make sure you order these parts:
