Honda Passport

http://www.internetautoguide.com/reviews/45-int/sport-utility-vehicles/honda/passport/2002/ It seems that the EX is an up grade to the LX offering power moon roof and wood grain in interior. The link may answer other questions you have.

White smoke from the exhaust means your vehicle is burning oil. You engine needs to be rebuilt. There is no cheap fix.

no, if white smoke is blowing from your exhaust, it does not mean your car is burning oil, it could just be condensation forming in the exhaust. If it does this just on start up condensation is likely the course, if it's a grey/blue colour, it means your engine is burning oil but does not mean the engine needs to be rebuilt. Keep an eye on oil level, check how many miles/kilometers you travel before you have to top it up and how much you have to top it up. Type of car and how many miles/kilometers it has gone would also be handy. It might just be valve stem seals; try thicker HM oil, there's also a few oil additives you can add to help for that problem. It's definitely worth a try. It could just be a piston sticking a bit, some engine cleaner oil additive normally works wonders for this. Be sure, though, if you take it to a mechanic shop, they are going to say that the engine needs a rebuild so that they can make more money. It happens all the time, 70% of the time this is not the case.

Just had it done on my Passport. There is no dipstick, there is an "overfill screw" in the bottom of the transmission, just above the drain plug. You don't need any special tool, but you do need to get it into a shop or put it up on the hoist in order to be able to measure it properly.

If you are planning to replace the transmission oil, here are the steps you need to follow:

-Drain the old fluid through drain plug.

-Using the vacuum pump, pump about 6-7 quarts of Dextron III into the overfill screw hole until it's starting to pour out on you.

-Let the excess fluid drain out, then close the screw.

-Start the car in Park

-Move the Transmission Shifter through all gears (keep it in each gear for a few seconds) then put it back into park.

-Let the engine idle for 3 minutes, then shut it off

-Not that the trans fluid is nice and warm you can unscrew the overfill plug again and check the fluid level, it should be to the top of that overfill level.

It gets too hot.

Most Hondas, check cold with the yellow dipstick (on level ground). Should be in between or at the top of the 2 marks. Should not be brown. Should be dark pink. Honda Passports are different. They have no dipstick. They are checked by temperature with a Honda only tester.

To change the headlight bulb you do not need to remove the headlamp assembly. Pop the hood and behind the assembly is access to the light bulb, just unclip it and carefully pull it out from the hole. Then you can remove the old bulb and put the new one in. Don't touch the light bulb! It won't work if you do.

On a 1999 Honda Passport, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve is typically located on the intake manifold, near the engine. To access it, you may need to remove some components, such as the air intake duct or the engine cover, depending on the specific engine configuration. The EGR valve is usually a small metal component with an electrical connector and vacuum lines attached to it. Always consult the vehicle’s service manual for precise locations and procedures.

Error code P0446 in a 1996 Honda Passport indicates a problem with the evaporative emission control system (EVAP), specifically related to the vent control circuit. This could be caused by a clogged or faulty EVAP vent valve, a damaged or disconnected vacuum line, or an issue with the engine control module (ECM). Additionally, a loose or damaged gas cap can also trigger this code. It's important to diagnose the specific component causing the issue for proper repairs.

On a 2001 Honda Passport, the shift lock release is typically located near the gear shifter. You may need to remove a small plastic cover or access a small slot next to the shifter. If you press down on the release, it allows you to move the shifter out of the 'Park' position if the vehicle's battery is dead or there are other issues. Always consult the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.

To add Freon to a Honda Passport, first locate the low-pressure service port, usually found on the larger of the two AC lines. Attach a refrigerant gauge or canister to the port, ensuring it's securely connected. Start the engine and turn the AC to the maximum setting, then gradually add Freon until the system reaches the proper pressure as indicated on the gauge. Always follow safety precautions and check for leaks after recharging the system.

If gas is coming back out of your 1996 Honda Passport, it could be due to a few reasons. A common cause is a faulty fuel cap or a problem with the fuel system, such as a clogged vent line that prevents proper pressure regulation. Additionally, issues with the fuel injectors or a malfunctioning fuel pump could lead to excess fuel being expelled. It's advisable to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue safely.

To reset the transmission control module on a 1995 Honda Passport, first disconnect the negative battery cable and leave it disconnected for about 10-15 minutes. This will clear any stored error codes and reset the system. After reconnecting the battery, start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes, then take the vehicle for a short drive to allow the transmission to recalibrate. Always consult your vehicle's manual for specific instructions and precautions.

For a 2001 Honda Passport 2WD, you should use Honda's ATF-Z1 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) or an equivalent fluid that meets the same specifications. It's important to avoid using Dexron or Mercon fluids, as they can cause transmission issues. Always check your owner’s manual or consult a professional to ensure compatibility.
