sorry I cant seem to find the angle sensor? I sprayed the ecu with elec cleaner, that didnt work, I found and adjusted the clutch screw and bolt, that didnt work, Im frustrated and about to take it in to be serviced, how much is this repair ?since I mostly know about the problem so they dealer cant screw me on the price.

thanks lighthouse!!!!

 

Thanks John,

Your post helped me out. I had the same problem and just taking the sensor off and cleaning it seemed to do the trick so far. I didn't have any aligator clips to be able to check the resistance as I moved the gears, but as it turned out I didn't need to do it.

Thanks Again

I too recently have had a shift problem with my Daughters Recon. I disconnected and cleaned the ECU and angle sensor Connectors. The problem went away temporarily ( possibly because I disconnected the ECU ). It came back an hour later when I went to park it in the shed. The 1st gear light was blinking 8 times. I am going to the local Honda shop tonight and will purchase a new Angle sensor.

 

Knock on wood still working strong after the cleaning.

 

Still working?
I was told the shifting shaft coming out where the auxilary shifter goes gets kind of frozen up from water. The little silonoid that shifts the gears can only do so much. Lube that shifting knub with a penetrating oil worked for me. After I lubed it I would spray marine white grease around it.
Also, even a manual tranny needs to be rocked sometimes to get in and out of gear.

 

i am having the same problem with the 8 blinking code any help would be great

 

I had the same problem with mine. I had a busted wire between the angle sensor and the ECU. On my Rancher the angle sensor is on the left hand side of the engine just above the belly plate (Low) If you don't already have one get a service manual, it will be the best investment you ever make. (You will need the wiring diagram out of the manual to check your connections to the ECU) That is if it's not the angle sensor itself.

 

Hi, I have a 2002 Honda Recon. Last year it was blinking 3 times, I replaced the angle sensor and it has been fine...until now. The 1st gear light is now blinking 5 times. I can manual shift. Anyone have an idea of what I need to check?

 

Our 2006 Honda rancher ES blinks N (neutral) 2 times and sometimes 3 times. We rocked it back and fourth and turned it on and off, nothing worked. Does anyone have any information on what those codes mean. And we are able to shift it manually

 

a guy at work told me honda has a recall on the angle sensor for the 02-05 recon. he received his in the mail but i havnt received mine yet...
