Sport Mode stays on without button engaged

[accordconor]

So heres my problem. My sport mode engages when it wants and if i push the button, it wont do anything. It will stay on and wont go away. its really weird. I guess I could check the code if one shows up. Does anyone else have this problem orrrr knows something else I could do if there is not a code?

Best bet is to jump the code find out what its throwing then work on it from there.

Flahsing Sports mode light means VSS craped out. Jump the code like Nail said.

Vss?

[accordconor]

aight check the code when it happens again

and its weird, it doesnt flash

no no if it stays on, the button is jammed. over time if u keep pressing it, it will jam on because the connectors are overlapping... its not so bad tho

Im not trying to sound stupid but i have never seen this sport mode thing that everyone is talking about.Is it on automatics only or is it only on special models of the accord???

I will take pictures this weekend.

Flashing Sports mode light means VSS possibly crapped out.

VSS=vehicle speed sensor. If your speedometer is working properly, this is not the issue.


Does your car change gears w/out problem?

No prob. Sports mode was only featured on the 90/91 auto transmissioned cars. It was discontinued for the 92/93 models cause, well it was basically useless at that point...

naw its like random random days it will just be on and stay in either in 2nd ooorr 3rd gear and not turn off. it will turn off after 3o min of driving and thats it. The

button wont turn it off or even turn it on.

BTW: Sport mode is only on automatic transmission hondas during 90-91 i think. Its basically overdrive just called sport mode

[accordconor]

i figured out that it was my pcv valve

[accordaffair]

pcv valve...? word?

[Aeromech]

i figured out that it was my pcv valve

WTF....how is that your PCV valve that makes the trans stay in sport mode?

That makes no sense....

[accordconor]

i know its weird. it turned on yesterday and i was talking to someone and they said check your pcv valve, and it was off. so i put it back on then sport mode went away

Glad that I found some info on this. I was also new to this "sport" button b/c I had a '93 which didn't have this feature. Currently, I've been building a '91 Accord from the ground up and here's my situation and question:

I switched over the whole shifter assembly from my '93 with the exception of adding the shifter knob from the '91 (w/ the sports button). Everything is wired in and looks like it should be in working condition but I want to make sure everything is in order before it's on the road one day. My main question... is this even possible to incorporate the shifter knob into the '93 shifter assembly? If so, would I need to transfer and ECU's, swap any codes, etc?

Another problem that confuses me... sometimes I'll get into the car, start it up, brake pedal depressed, and won't be able to release the shifter into other gears (it's and AUTO). I'm familiar with the release on the right side of the shifter when you press the brake to release the shifter to shift into reverse, D4, D3, etc. Just @ random times, it doesn't work and it's just tedious and annoying to have to pull the key out, put it in "shiftlock release." After that point, it works fine until it won't release from park again. Thanks for any help with these issues.
