i have a 92 accord ex with a built h22a and auto trans. i did the swap awhile ago and just now working all the kinks out...im getting cel code 1 and 36.. 1 is oxygen sensor but 36 i have googled like crazy and cant find anything about is... it flashes 3 long blinks the six short so i no its 36. thanks to anyone who can help

What kind of ECU are you using in your conversion, and is it USDM or JDM?

From what I know a code 36 is only found on JDM ECU's and is for the traction control. If your using a USDM transmision, ect. then you dont have traction control but your ECU thinks it does- which could be why you have that code.

ok i was thinking it was for that or the 4ws its a jdm ecu with the fourth socket. im not sure what the trans is. im having trans issues right now i have posted also any help with that would be appreciated

Yea the JDM ECU is probably whats causing the problem then. In order to have traction contol in a car you need an ABS system as well (traction control and ABS are mechanically actuated by the same unit). Im guessing your '92 doesnt have ABS?

Anyway if you want to fix the code 36, you may end up having to get a USDM ECU, or just pull the light bulb that illuminates the check engine light, LOL!

mine is an EX with abs but im not to worried about it now knowing its nothing causing the trans problems im having

Well your engine computer is also responsible for controlling your automatic transmission, but chances are the problem is within your transmission. The ECU is there just to moniter engine RPM and load, and adjust shift points, TCC lockup, ect. What kind of problems are you having with the transmission?

its explained in my other thread in this section under accord not shifting in to any gears... read the most recent post its the most detailed

Right I remember, I believe P_Adams posted something saying that your throttle valve could be the problem. I suppose that might do it, but with technically the wrong ECU for the transmission who knows? Anyway good luck with whatever you end up doing, but I would say for now your code 36 def. has something to do with that JDM ECU and the whole traction control system issue.

xhondaaccord92x

its a h22a trans, ecu and tcu the trans has the seperate computer that communicates with the ecu but controls the trans. and yes p adams did respond but the one ur thinkin of is a diff thread

Nevermind, I guess that was a different post i was thinking about. Im just glad I dont have to worry about that kind of stuff... I have a manual trans lol- anyway good luck regarding that other post about the trans.

well thanks i now no what the 36 means and hopefully i can get anwers about the trans without swapping them out again
