## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [A23\-078](/bulletins/10244188.md), 2023-10-17, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN. Service Bulletin \- Torque converters may not have been manufactured to proper specifications. As a result, the torque converter lock\-up clutch cannot provide adequate holding force due to pressure bleeding down through a crack in the lock\-up piston. The reduced lock\-up clutch capacity results in DTC P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck OFF.
- [A23\-073](/bulletins/10242219.md), 2023-09-13, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION; POWER TRAIN. Service Bulletin \- The vehicle's transmission temperature can become too hot due to automatic transmission fluid deterioration causing high foaming and low viscosity. During extended high load driving, the automatic transmission fluid will foam and cooler flow rate is reduced.
- [A23\-078](/bulletins/10241879.md), 2023-09-06, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Service Bulletin \- Torque converters may not have been manufactured to proper specifications. As a result, the torque converter lock\-up clutch cannot provide adequate holding force due to pressure bleeding down through a crack in the lock\-up piston. The reduced lock\-up clutch capacity results in DTC P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck OFF.
- [ABOM08312023901](/bulletins/10241864.md), 2023-09-06, Service bulletin: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; POWER TRAIN. Dealer Message \- Torque converters may not have been manufactured to proper specifications. As a result, the torque converter lock\-up clutch cannot provide adequate holding force due to pressure bleeding down through a crack in the lock\-up piston. The reduced lock\-up clutch capacity results in the MIL illuminating and set DTC P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck OFF.
- [Noise](/bulletins/10211569.md), 2022-05-09, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; BACK OVER PREVENTION. American Honda \(AHM\) is investigating certain 2016 Pilots with a customer complaint of front bearing noise coming from the front while driving. The noise can be described as howling or moaning. To fully understand the cause of this condition, AHM would like to collect specific parts from the vehicle prior to you attempting a repair of any kind.
- [Pilot Front Bear](/bulletins/10211568.md), 2022-05-09, Service bulletin: BACK OVER PREVENTION; POWER TRAIN. American Honda \(AHM\) is investigating certain 2016 Pilots with a customer complaint of front bearing noise coming from the front while driving. The noise can be described as howling or moaning.

- [A20\-029](/bulletins/10202256.md), 2021-10-16, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Service Bulletin \- The transmission has intermittent harsh or jerky upshifts with steady acceleration.
- [A19\-124](/bulletins/10202254.md), 2021-10-16, Service bulletin: POWER TRAIN; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Service Bulletin \- The transmission has intermittent harsh or jerky upshifts with steady acceleration, or the MIL comes on with DTC P0716.
- [ATS\-151101 V2](/bulletins/10193297.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.
- [A21\-010](/bulletins/10187008.md), 2021-02-18, Service bulletin: EQUIPMENT; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. "Service Bulletin \- The PCM software may misinterpret sensor inputs as a deteriorated catalytic converter. Additionally, debris from the high pressure pump or the fuel injector machining process can cause internal wear or clogging inside one or more injectors. One or more of the following DTCs may be stored: \- P0420 \(rear bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold \[bank 1\]\) \- P0430 \(front bank catalyst system efficiency below threshold \[bank 2\]\) \- P0300\-P0306 \(misfire\) \- P219A \(air\-fuel ratio variation of cylinder \[bank 1, rear bank\]\) \- P219B \(air\-fuel ratio variation of cylinder \[bank 2, front bank\]\) American Honda is extending the warranty on these repairs to 10 years from the original date of purchase or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first."
