DTC Advanced Diagnostics: P0736

DTC P0736  : RVS Gear Incorrect Ratio

General Description 

GHH477503Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

Two-way clutch position required to shift in each shift position/mode 

Shift position/mode One-way clutch function Lock function
P YES YES
R NO YES
N YES YES
D (1st gear*) YES YES
D (2nd to 10th gear) YES NO

*: Possible to shift regardless of the two-way clutch position

The two-way clutch switches forward and reverse by switching to one-way clutch function that idles one side and lock function that disables idle both sides. The two-way clutch switches forward and reverse by driving two-way clutch actuator valve with shift solenoid valves A, B, and D, and clutch pressure control solenoid valve B. The two-way clutch switching position is monitored by the two-way clutch actuator valve stroke sensor which measures the stroke position of the two-way clutch actuator valve. The two-way clutch position that is required to shift in each shift position/mode is shown in the table. If all of the following conditions are established for a specified time when steady driving at reverse, the transmission control module (TCM) detects a malfunction and stores DTC.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the TCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the shift position indicator blinks and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The shift position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. The Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
