Went from Error 24 to Error 22

2007 Honda 420CC Rancher ES

ISSUE:
Had on and off issues with my quad mid trip blanking out and loosing track of what gear it was in, I could turn it off and on then continue. It progressively got worse to the point where I could only lap the house before the issue appeared and turning it off/on wouldn’t always solve it, and sometimes it wouldn’t even get that far.

ATTEMPTS TO FIX:
Last week I replaced the Shift Angle Sensor and it seemed to have cleared up the problem as it shifted cleanly through all the gears in a standing position. Yesterday I had the chance to actually take it out and run it and found out my problem is still occurring.

This time I took note of the error code and found out it was Error 24 Shift Control Motor Drive Circuit. Ran through all the steps and everything checked out, so thinking it was dirt in a connector that I cleaned out. The last step says to erase the DTC which I think you need some HDS Pocket Tester to do which I don’t have. Took it for a spin and within a few minutes same issue but different error code.

Not it’s Error 22 Shift Angle Sensor Response: Control Motor Lock/Stuck. Got up to the last step which is the Reduction Gear Condition Check, but I called it a night and will resume again later.

I’m thinking I’ll find my problem when I take that apart. Not sure of price of a new one or a good place to shop for parts for it. But I was also wondering why I can no longer shift manually all of a sudden? When I was going through the steps one was to shift manually and it did work, but then minutes later it doesn’t…

Any thoughts? Does not clearing the error codes have an impact? Am I on the right track 😛

Just registered to post this, but have lurked here before and found plenty of helpful info, so thanks in advanced!
