DTC P1AF2 (A/T System) (2024 2025)

DTC P1AF2  : VB2 Voltage Out of Range

General Description 

GHH667480Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The voltage input to the VB2 terminal of the transmission control module (TCM) is detected by the voltage divider circuit inside the TCM. If the resistor in the voltage divider circuit fails and the resistance increases or decreases, the VB2 terminal voltage cannot be detected correctly. If the VB2 terminal voltage detected by the voltage divider circuit is out of specified value for a set time, the TCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type 

Execution Continuous
Sequence None
Duration 6 seconds or more
DTC Type Two drive cycles, MIL on, Shift position indicator blinks

Enable Conditions 

Enable condition for detecting high voltage side 

Condition Minimum Maximum
Elapsed time after the vehicle condition is turned to the ON mode 3 seconds -
Other Input voltage of at least one unit of TCM or powertrain control module (PCM) is 16 V or less

Enable condition for detecting low voltage side 

Condition  
Vehicle ON mode

Malfunction Threshold 

The VB2 terminal voltage detected by the voltage divider circuit is out of specified value for at least 6 seconds.

Possible Cause 

NOTE:  The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

Turn the vehicle to the ON mode, and wait for at least 9 seconds.

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 MIL comes on, the shift position indicator blinks, and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The shift position indicator comes off by turning the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode. The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool clear command.
