- [B16\-063](/bulletins/10145421.md), 2018-10-15, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Service bulletin \- After the software update, some vehicles, based on how they are driven \(extreme conditions\), may still experience ATF deterioration after updating the PGM\-FI or A/T system and the shudder may return. The problem is typically diagnosedas a bad Torque Converter \(TC\). There is no damage to the TC, but because the ATF has deteriorated, it needs to be changed even though the "ATF Service Due" message has not appeared. Make sure the vehicle is updated by referring to the INSPECTION PROCEDURE.

THE PROBLEM IS TYPICALLY DIAGNOSED AS A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER \(TC\).

AMERICAN HONDA IS WORKING ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT WILL MAINTAIN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE DESIRABLE RANGE UNDER ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND ELIMINATE THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS JUDDER. AMERICAN HONDA WILL REVISE THIS SERVICE BULLETIN WHEN THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IS AVAILABLE.
