Road Test

2006 Honda Pilot EX, 3.5 YF2, J35Z1SECTION Road Test
  1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
  2. Apply the parking brake, and block both rear wheels. Start the engine, then shift to the D position while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal, and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
  3. Repeat step  2 in all shift lever positions.
  4. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A), and go to the A/T data list.

  5. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the D position. Check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage. While driving, check that the shift points occur at the proper speeds by monitoring the accelerator pedal position sensor voltage with the HDS and comparing your shift point speeds and voltage to those in the table. (The accelerator pedal position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening.)

    Upshift: D Position

    2nd→3rd 64-68 mph (102-108 km/h)
    3rd→4th 100-104 mph (160-166 km/h)

    Downshift: D Position 

    GEAR POSITION CHART

    Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 0.75 V 
    Lock-up OFF 44-48 mph (70-77 km/h)
    5th→4th 39-41 mph (62-66 km/h)
    4th→3rd 18-21 mph (29-33 km/h)
    2nd→1st 9-11 mph (14-18 km/h)
    Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 2.5 V 
    Lock-up OFF 90-94 mph (145-151 km/h)
    5th→4th 73-76 mph (118-122 km/h)
    4th→3rd 53-56 mph (86-90 km/h)
    3rd→2nd 25-29 mph (40-46 km/h)
    2nd→1st 9-11 mph (14-18 km/h)
    Fully-opened throttle 
    Accelerator pedal position sensor voltage: 4.5 V 
    4th→3rd 89-93 mph (142-148 km/h)
    3rd→2nd 58-62 mph (93-99 km/h)
    2nd→1st 32-34 mph (51-55 km/h)
  6. Drive the vehicle in 4th or 5th gear in the D position, then shift to the 2 position. The vehicle should immediately begin to slow down from engine braking.
  7. Shift to the 1 position, accelerate from a stop at full throttle, and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage. Upshifts should not occur in this position.
  8. Shift to the 2 position, accelerate from a stop at full throttle, and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage. Upshifts and downshifts should not occur in this position.
  9. Shift to the R position, accelerate from a stop at full throttle momentarily, and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
  10. Park the vehicle on aslope (about 16-degrees), apply the brake, and shift into the P position. Release the brake; the vehicle should not move.
    NOTE: Always use the brake to hold the vehicle, when stopped on an incline in gear. Depending on the grade of the incline, the vehicle could roll backwards if the brake is released.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
