| Note 1: When UP-shifting
into 2nd gear on the 1988 & 1989 models (only), the LED will repeat the 1st gear indication due to a difference in Honda's stock wiring harness for those years, instead of the specified alternator monitor function for 2nd gear upshift. SmartLight is able to overcome this limitation when DOWN-shifting into 2nd gear (where it matters) to provide the correct 2nd gear LED pattern for all year models. |
