P1000 Rear locker cable

[ODAMO]

Are you making the adjustment properly? Are you lifting one tire and spinning it to confirm it is locked?
I wonder if the diff is locked per the instructions.

Yup lifted and confirmed the dash indication and made sure it is UNLOCKED per the instructions.

That is the confusing part.
When in park and turf, I thought the rear diff was locked.
I wonder if that manual is correct.
I believe @lee or @HondaTech wrote out the procedure. I will do some digging and quote it here.

I found this posted in another thread.

For the flux capacitor delete system, put the levers in Park and Turf mode.
Make sure the rear diff is locked (jack up a tire and try to turn it)
Pull the plastic cover off the rear diff (left side).
Adjust the nut like the front diff cable --> tighten the nut till the cross barrel just touches the end of the slot in the diff lock arm.
Back the nut off 1/2 turn.
Put the cover back on.
Done.

I think the service manual may be incorrect. I would go with the above written instruction and see if you have the proper play.

I forgot to mention that when in turf mode putting it in park does indeed lock the rear. Sorry for the confusion.

My solution was to take a 3/8” dia. ss bolt and cut a .800 long piece from the unthreaded section , drill a .236 hole in the middle and inserted it in between adjusting nut and the stock joint pin.
This method still retains the anti rotation to hold the setting and allows for plenty of adjustment.
