- Published by NHTSA: 2017\-07\-31

## NHTSA's summary

Dealer message \- During manufacturing of the 9\-speed automatic transmission, it is possible that contamination may cause the parking pawl not to engage or the park rod may have been damaged during assembly and could dislodge, both of which can prevent the transmission from shifting into the Park position even if the driver has selected the Park position with the gear selector. Although the shift indicator will display "Park", the Park Lock may not engage allowing the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

- [BTS\-151101 V2](/bulletins/10193296.md), 2021-05-14, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). Replacement TCMs don’t come with trim data. After installation, you need to run a teach\-in \(hydraulic pressure characteristic calibration\) procedure with the HDS. The problem is that A/T DTC P287C \(transmission adaptive values not learned\) is set, which prevents teach\-in. This happens because the TCM is programmed to look for trim data any time the ignition is cycled. If the TCM doesn’t see that trim data, it sets A/T DTC P287C. If any DTCs are set, the TCM won’t initiate teach\-in and, as a result, can’t learn the trim data. It’s a classic catch\-22 situation.
- [SB\-16\-012](/bulletins/10193236.md), 2021-05-13, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. BACKGROUND American Honda has made several shift quality improvements in the 2015 and 2016 TLX V6. SYMPTOM There is a sensation of acceleration while coasting down a hill. There is a sensation of a surge while braking. The transmission feels like it stays in gear too long. CORRECTIVE ACTION Update the TCM software. Clear all DTC’s created during the update and do the idle learn procedure. This software update will change the way the transmission shifts. After the update it may take up to 30 miles for the transmission to adapt to the client’s driving habits.

- [ONLKG503082019](/bulletins/10154484.md), 2019-03-15, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. Owner Notification Letter \- Our records indicate that a PRODUCT UPDATE has not been completed on this vehicle, refer to the address card for the affected VIN. Your TLX previously had the transmission replaced because of a leaking 9\-speed automatic transmission fluid \(ATF\) warmer. As the issue was under investigation when the transmission was replaced, your vehicle needs further action before it is completely repaired.
