What is the matching method for the VT2 transmission?
2 Answers
VT2 transmission matching can be set according to the following methods: 1. Setting when the vehicle is stationary: Pull up the handbrake, then run the engine to normal temperature with the fan turning twice, and turn off the key. Use Honda's computer or HDS to connect the SCS line, press and hold the brake pedal until the setting is complete. 2. Setting during driving: Start the engine, turn on the headlights, accelerate the vehicle to 60 km/h, then without pressing the brake, let the vehicle decelerate until it stops. 3. Transmission matching method: Start the vehicle to bring the engine and transmission to normal operating temperature, drive in forward gear for 20 meters, slowly press the brake until the speed is 0, hold the gear for 10 seconds while observing 10 sets of data streams, then shift to reverse gear and drive 20 meters, slowly press the brake until the speed is 0, hold the gear while observing 11 sets of data streams. If both are OK, the adaptive learning is completed.
I remember the key to handling transmission matching lies in the diagnostic tools. First, park the car stably and warm up the engine to normal operating temperature, then shift to P gear. Next, plug that professional scanner into the OBD port and run the transmission adaptation program; some models will require you to drive slowly on the road to let the system automatically learn the shift points. During the process, avoid sudden throttle inputs, as it may interrupt the learning. If matching isn't done, shifting might be delayed or slip, affecting smoothness. It's recommended to go to a reliable repair shop—they have the experience and equipment to ensure safety. I've seen too many car owners messing around by themselves, causing warning lights to come on and ending up spending unnecessary money on repairs.
