one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Fuel Meter Body: Description and Operation Fuel Metering System Modes
Acceleration Mode
Acceleration Mode
The PCM provides extra fuel when it detects a rapid increase in the throttle position and the air
flow.
Battery Voltage Correction Mode
Battery Voltage Correction Mode
When battery voltage is low, the PCM will compensate for the weak spark by increasing the
following:
- The amount of fuel delivered.
- The idle RPM.
- Ignition dwell time.
Clear Flood Mode
Clear Flood Mode
Clear a flooded engine by pushing the accelerator pedal down all the way. The PCM then
de-energizes the fuel injectors. The PCM holds the fuel injectors de-energized as long as the
throttle remains above 80 % and the engine speed is below 800 RPM. If the throttle position
becomes less than 80 %, the PCM again begins to pulse the injectors "ON" and "OFF," allowing
fuel into the cylinders.
Deceleration Mode
Deceleration Mode
The PCM reduces the amount of fuel injected when it detects a decrease in the throttle position
and the air flow. When deceleration is very fast, the PCM may cut off fuel completely for short
periods.
Engine Speed/Vehicle Speed/Fuel Disable Mode
Engine Speed/Vehicle Speed/Fuel Disable Mode
The PCM monitors engine speed. It turns off the fuel injectors when the engine speed increase
above 6400 RPM. The fuel injectors are turned back on when engine speed decreases below 6150
RPM.
Fuel Cutoff Mode
Fuel Cutoff Mode
No fuel is delivered by the fuel injectors when the ignition is "OFF." This prevents engine run-on. In
addition, the PCM suspends fuel delivery if no reference pulses are detected (engine not running)
to prevent engine flooding.
Run Mode
Run Mode
The run mode has the following two conditions:
- Open loop
- Closed loop
When the engine is first started the system is in "open loop" operation. In "open loop," the PCM
ignores the signal from the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S). It calculates the air/fuel ratio based on
inputs from the TP ECT, and MAF sensors.
The system remains in "open loop" until the following conditions are met:
- The HO2S has a varying voltage output showing that it is hot enough to operate properly (this
depends on temperature).
- The ECT has reached a specified temperature.
- A specific amount of time has elapsed since starting the engine.
- Engine speed has been greater than a specified RPM since start-up.
The specific values for the above conditions vary with different engines and are stored in the
programmable read only memory (PROM). When these conditions are met, the system enters
"closed loop" operation. In "closed loop," the PCM calculates the air/fuel ratio (injector on-time)
based on the signal from the HO2S. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay very close to 14.7:1.

Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation
SRS Coil Assembly
The SRS coil assembly consists of two current carrying coils. This is attached to the steering
column and allow rogation of the steering wheel while maintaining continuous contact of the driver
deployment loop to the driver air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the yellow 2 - pin connector near the base of steering column which
connects the SRS coil to the SRS wiring harness.
The shorting clip shorts to the SRS coil and driver air bag assembly when the yellow 2 - pin
connector is disconnected. The circuit to the driver air bag assembly is shorted in this way to help
prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the steering column or other SRS
components. Refer to the "STEERING".

Air Bag: Description and Operation
Air Bag Assemblies
The air bag assembly consist of an inflatable air bag assembly and an inflator (a canister of gas generating material and an initiating device). When the vehicle is in a frontal crash of sufficient
force.
The SDM causes current flow through the deployment loops. Current passing through the inflator
ignites the material in the air bag assembly. The gas produced from this reaction rapidly inflates the
air bag assembly.
There is a shorting clip on the driver air bag assembly connector which connects the SRS coil
assembly. The shorting clip shorts across the driver air bag assembly circuits when driver air bag
assembly connector is disconnected.
The circuit to the driver air bag assembly is shorted in this way to help prevent unwanted
deployment of the air bag when servicing the driver air bag assembly, the steering column or other
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components.
There is a shorting clip on the passenger air bag assembly connector which connects to the SRS
harness.
The shorting clip shorts across the passenger air bag assembly circuit when the passenger air bag
assembly connector is disconnected. The circuit to the passenger air bag assembly is shorted in
this way to help prevent unwanted deployment of the air bag when servicing the passenger air bag
assembly, the instrument panel or other SRS components.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value
based on temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes a low resistance of
70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F). The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through resistors
in the PCM and measures the voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 85 °C (185 °F). It then stabilizes when the thermostat opens. If the
engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine coolant sensor
circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or P1115.

TITLE: Avoiding Comebacks From A/T Contamination
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
Installing a reman A/T? Here are some important tips to keep in mind to ensure a first-time fix and
to avoid any come-backs:
- If the vehicle has an ATF cooler, make sure you clean the cooler with the ATF Cooler Cleaner
(P/N GHTTTCF6H). See S/B 89-022, ATF Cooler Cleaner, for details.
- If the reman A/T kit includes an in-line filter, don't forget to install it. If the vehicle already has an
in-line filter from an earlier A/T replacement, then remove the existing filter, and install the new one.
- Spray the driveshaft splines with solvent and compressed air before installing them in the reman
A/T. If the failed A/T had a speed sensor, make sure it's clean before you install it. Debris from the
failed A/T can catch in the driveshaft splines or on the speed sensor and contaminate the reman
A/T.
- If the reman A/T comes with a heater/cooler, make sure you install the reman A/T with that
heater/cooler. Never install the heater/cooler from the failed A/T; you could contaminate the reman
A/T.

3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Description and Operation
Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early ’90s, Honda vehicles have come with an electrical load detector (ELD) unit in the
under-hood fuse/relay box. This unit allows the ECM/PCM to regulate the alternator (switch it
between high output and low output) to provide the best combination of fuel economy and electrical
system operation. The ELD sends a signal to the ECM/PCM that is proportional to the electrical
demand. The ECM/PCM switches the alternator between high output and low output depending on
several factors, which include electrical demand, battery charge level, and the driving cycle. When
the alternator is in low output, the engine load is reduced and fuel economy improves.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
Page 4468
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

REPAIR PROCEDURE A
Page 7579
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value
based on temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes a low resistance of
70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F). The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through resistors
in the PCM and measures the voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 85 °C (185 °F). It then stabilizes when the thermostat opens. If the
engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine coolant sensor
circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or P1115.

pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

7. Turn the valve tappet with a pick or a small screwdriver until the tappet notch is within the
indentation in the head.
8. Turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley clockwise until the cam lobe presses the valve fully
open.
9. On the tappet side closest to the bearing cap, insert the valve adjuster holder (T/N J-42659-AH)
between the camshaft and the tappet. The tool
should rest on the edge of the tappet without touching the shim.
10. Slowly turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley counterclockwise so that when the valve closes,
the tool catches between the camshaft and the
tappet, holding the valve slightly open.
NOTE:
Do not turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley too far or in the wrong direction. If you do, you might
break the tool, or worse yet, damage the cylinder head.
11. Insert a pick or a small screwdriver into the tappet notch, and pry out the shim.
12. Wipe off the shim, then write its number on the Valve Inspection Chart for that valve and
cylinder. If there is no number on the shim, measure its
thickness with a micrometer, and write down the measurement on the Valve Inspection Chart.
13. Follow the directions on the Valve Shim Replacement Chart to select the correct shim.
14. Insert the correct shim, number side down, into the tappet. Make sure the shim is fully seated.
15. Release and remove the tool by turning the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley clockwise.
16. Turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley clockwise until the cam lobe again points away from
the valve.

CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on

Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the PCM are often designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of
static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components. By comparison, it takes as
much as 4000 volts for a person to feel even the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and induction.
- An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a vehicle seat.
- Charge by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentary touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore it is important to use care when handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage, follow these guidelines:
- Do not touch the PCM connector pins or soldered components on the PCM circuit board.
- Do not open the replacement part package until the part is ready to be installed.
- Before removing the pan: from the package, ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
- If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a known good ground before installing the part.

Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Tires: Service and Repair Tire Replacement
Tire Replacement
When replacement is necessary, the original metric tire size should be used. Most metric tire sizes
do not have exact corresponding alphanumeric tire sizes. It is recommended that new tires be
installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it should be paired with tire
having the most tread, to equalize braking traction.
CAUTION: Do not mix different types of tires such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except in
emergencies, because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.
Tire Dismounting Remove valve capon valve step and deflate the tire. Then use a tire changing
machine to mount or dismount tires. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instruction. Do not use
hand tools or tire lever alone to change tires as they may damage the tire beads or wheel rim.
Tire Mounting Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove
lubricants, and light rust. Before mounting a tire, the bead area should be well lubricated with an
approved tire lubricant. After mounting, inflate the tire to 196 kPa (28 psi) so that beads are
completely seated. Inflate the air to specified pressure and install valve cap to the stem.
WARNING: NEVER STAND OVER TIRE WHEN INFLATING. BEAD MAY BREAK WHEN BEAD
SNAPS OVER RIM'S SAFETY HUMP AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER
EXCEED 240 KPA (35 PSI) PRESSURE WHEN INFLATING. IF 240 KPA (35 PSI) PRESSURE
WILL NOT SEAT BEADS, DEFLATE, RE-LUBRICATE AND RE-INFLATE. OVER INFLATION
MAY CAUSE THE BEAD TO BREAK AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Tire Repair There are many different materials on the market used to repair tires. Manufacturers
have published detailed instructions on how and when to repair tires. These instructions can be
obtained from the tire manufacturer if they are not included with the repair kit.

Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Transmission Cooler: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Avoiding Fluid Contamination
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Avoiding Comebacks From A/T Contamination
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
Installing a reman A/T? Here are some important tips to keep in mind to ensure a first-time fix and
to avoid any come-backs:
- If the vehicle has an ATF cooler, make sure you clean the cooler with the ATF Cooler Cleaner
(P/N GHTTTCF6H). See S/B 89-022, ATF Cooler Cleaner, for details.
- If the reman A/T kit includes an in-line filter, don't forget to install it. If the vehicle already has an
in-line filter from an earlier A/T replacement, then remove the existing filter, and install the new one.
- Spray the driveshaft splines with solvent and compressed air before installing them in the reman
A/T. If the failed A/T had a speed sensor, make sure it's clean before you install it. Debris from the
failed A/T can catch in the driveshaft splines or on the speed sensor and contaminate the reman
A/T.
- If the reman A/T comes with a heater/cooler, make sure you install the reman A/T with that
heater/cooler. Never install the heater/cooler from the failed A/T; you could contaminate the reman
A/T.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Description and Operation
Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
P & B (Proportioning and Bypass) Valve
The P&B; valve contains two sections, each serving a different function. The proportioning section
of the P&B; valve proportions outlet pressure to the rear brakes after a predetermined rear input
pressure has been reached. This is done to prevent rear wheel lock up on the vehicles with light
rear wheel loads. The valve has a by-pass feature which assures full system pressure to the rear
brakes in the event of front brake system malfunction. Also full front pressure is retained in the
event of rear brake malfunction. The P & B valve is not repairable and must be replaced as
complete assembly.

10. Remove both type A reinforcement brackets. Save the body mount studs and nuts for the final
installation, and discard the original trailing link front mount mounting nuts.
11. Using a 1/2 in. drill motor and a 33/64 in. bit, drill final holes where you made the pilot holes.
12. Test fit a pop nut into each hole to be sure drilling is complete.
NOTE:
If a pop nut doesn't fit, don't try to enlarge the hole by pivoting the drill bit. Doing this creates an
uneven seating surface for the pop nut. If the pop nut doesn't fit, your drill bit is worn out and needs
to be sharpened or replaced.
13. Insert an air gun into the frame rail hole, and blow up and down the inside of the frame rails to
move any rust or metal debris away from the area.
14. Attach the pop nut installer to shop air, and adjust the tool's air pressure regulator to between
72 and 87 psi.
NOTE:
^ The tool's air pressure is critical: if it's too low, the pop nuts cannot be correctly installed; if it's too
high, the tool will be damaged.
^ If this is your first time using the pop nut installer, or if you haven't used it in a while, practice
installing one or two pop nuts onto the pop nut test
plate:
- Place a pop nut at the tip of installer's threaded mandrel. Make sure to keep your fingers away
from the gap between the pop nut and the base of the mandrel. Squeeze the installer's trigger; the
pop nut threads onto the mandrel.

WARRANTY AUDIO ORDER PROGRAM FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here is a list of answers to the most frequently asked questions about the warranty audio order
program:
Question: When do I use the warranty audio order program?
Answer: Use the program when you are replacing an audio/navigation/RES unit under warranty
(including goodwill) that has an internal failure.
NOTE:
The customer's media (CD, CD magazine, DVD, DVD-A, cassette tape, etc.) is removed by the
supplier at tear down and inspection of the failed unit, and mailed to your dealership.
Any failed audio/navigation/RES unit core that is returned disassembled is considered an unusable
core, and your dealership will be issued a core loss charge ranging between $800 and $2,500.
Remanufactured audio/navigation/RES units are not available for non-warranty repairs.
New components should be used to repair new, unsold vehicles.
A new component may be used to repair a customer's vehicle only if the remanufactured
component is currently unavailable from American Honda.
Your DPSM must authorize ordering a new component.
Question: How do I order a remanufactured audio/navigation/RES unit?
Answer: For a warranty replacement, use the ordering information IN WARRANTY EXCHANGE.
For goodwill repair, contact your DPSM.
For a non-warranty repair, see OUT-OF-WARRANTY REPAIR.
Question: Who do I call for questions on the Warranty Audio Order Program?
Answer: For administrative questions, call the Remanufactured Parts Dealer Service Group.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Grounding Point: Diagnostic Aids
Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Check to see that the voltage across "V1" changes at this time. If there is no change, the voltage
regulator is faulty and must be replaced.
4. Measure the voltage at "V4" (the voltage across the variable resistor center tap and terminal E

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Output Check
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which
result from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and engine speed changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the the sensor output voltage, the PCM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output
voltage will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. Higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4
- 4.8 volts at wide open throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
barometric pressure, allowing the PCM to make adjustments for different altitudes. The PCM uses
the MAP sensor to diagnose proper operation of the EGR system, in addition to other functions.

Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are mounted in the
exhaust stream where they can monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The oxygen
present in the exhaust gas reacts with the sensor to produce a voltage output. This voltage should
constantly fluctuate from approximately 100 mV to 900 mV. The heated oxygen sensor voltage can
be monitored with a Tech 2. By monitoring the voltage output of the oxygen sensor, the PCM
calculates the pulse width command for the injectors to produce the proper combustion chamber
mixture.
- Low HO2S voltage is a lean mixture which will result in a rich command to compensate.
- High HO2S voltage is a rich mixture which will result in a lean command to compensate.
An open Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal circuit will set a DTC P0134 and the Tech 2 will display a constant
voltage between 400 - 500 mV. A constant voltage below 300 mV in the sensor circuit (circuit
grounded) will set DTC P0131. A constant voltage above 800 mV in the circuit will set DTC P0132.
Faults in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal circuit will cause DTC 0154 (open circuit), DTC P0151
(grounded circuit), or DTC P0152 (signal voltage high) to set. A fault in the Bank 1 HO2S 1 heater
circuit will cause DTC P0135 to set. A fault in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 heater circuit will cause DTC
P0155 to set. The PCM can also detect HO2S response problems. If the response time of an
HO2S is determined to be too slow, the PCM will store a DTC that indicates degraded HO2S
performance.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair Oil Return Operation
Oil Return Operation
There is close affinity between the oil and the refrigerant. During normal operation, part of the oil
recirculates with the refrigerant in the system. When checking the amount of oil in the system, or
replacing any component of the system, the compressor must be run in advance for oil return
operation. The procedure is as follows:
1. Open all the doors and the engine hood. 2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch to "ON"
and set the fan control knob at its highest position. 3. Run the compressor for more than 20
minutes between 800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate the system. 4. Stop the engine.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Inspection and Repair
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and therefore its inspection is very important.
- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and insulator of spark plug reduces the engine
performance.
Possible causes:
- Too rich mixture
- Presence of oil in combustion chamber
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:
- Too lean mixture
- Improper heat value

Description and Operation
Clutch Disc: Description and Operation
Driven Plate Assembly
The driven plate assembly consists of the plate and the facing. The plate consists of the clutch
center, the cushioning plate, and the torsion springs. The facing is riveted to both sides of the
cushioning plate. The cushioning plate provides a longer service life by minimizing wear and
vibration at the clutch contact surfaces.
Page 6458
The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the
SRS coil assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the "AIR BAG" warning lamp in the
instrument cluster. The SDM, SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag assembly,
passenger air bag assembly and connector wire make up the deployment loops. The function of
the deployment loops is to supply current through air bag assembly, which will cause deployment
of the air bags in the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30 degrees off the centerline
of the vehicle. The air bag assemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy when the SDM
detects vehicle velocity changes severe enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal.
The electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and then compared to a value stored in
memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the air bag assembly deploying the air bags.

7. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
8. Connect the 10P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.
9. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Finishing the Job
Remove the vibration damper and the protective band (if used). Use a micrometer to measure the
thickness of the brake disc. Make sure the thickness is within the service manual specifications.
Clean the brake disc with soapy water or brake cleaner, then wipe it dry. Use a vacuum cleaner to
remove any dust or chips, but do not use compressed air.
Unplug the tool bed feed motor from the drive motor assembly, and remove the mounting yoke
from the brake disc. Remove the speed mount from the steering knuckle.
Apply a small amount of Molykote 77 grease to the brake pad shims. Reinstall the caliper
assembly. (If you did not use the power drive system, use the brake pad spreader to push the
pistons back into the caliper.)
Torque the nuts and bolts to the required specification (see the appropriate service manual).
Refinish the other front brake disc using the same guidelines.
Check the brake fluid level, then test-drive the vehicle to make sure the brake pedal is firm and
does not pulsate. Lightly apply the brakes about 20 times during the test-drive to seat the brake
pads.
REAR BRAKE DISCS
It is possible to use an on-car lathe on some models if the rear caliper mounts are low enough to
clear the vehicle body. A power driver is needed for front drive models. Refinish rear brake discs on
bench-mounted equipment if necessary.
Follow the same guidelines you used for refinishing front brake discs, noting these differences:
^ Mount the brake lathe to the rear knuckle with the Honda 2-Piece Adapter (P/N KWY-1
08102504). You can order the 2-piece adapter through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program
(see ORDERING INFORMATION).

SYMPTOM
The engine occasionally idles at too high a speed, or the idle speed fluctuates.
PROBABLE CAUSES
The symptom could be the result of any of these conditions:
^ Loose or corroded engine or body ground
^ High resistance in the APPS ground circuit
^ PSP (power steering pressure) switch is internally shorted to ground
^ Fuel pressure regulator is leaking fuel into the intake manifold
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Diagnose the cause of the idle condition, and select the proper REPAIR PROCEDURE.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

TITLE: Heater Blows Cold Air, A/C Blows Warm Air
APPLIES TO: all A/C-equipped Honda models that use a heater valve cable.
SERVICE TIP:
Got a vehicle in your shop that blows cold air from the heater or warm air from the A/C ? The
problem could just be the heater valve cable has slipped off the heater valve arm. There's a real
easy fix for this problem. Slip the heater valve cable back onto the heater valve arm. Then cut
yourself a 10 mm length of 3.5 mm vacuum hose and slide it onto the arm. This holds the cable on
the arm nice and snug so it won't slip off.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows
the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and Components."
This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. If Power Distribution
shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other
circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side to side as it rotates on the spindle. This could
also be referred to as "rotor wobble". This movement causes the piston to be knocked back into its
bore. This results in additional pedal travel and a vibration during braking.
Parallelism
Parallelism is the measurement of thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the
circumference of the rotor. All measurement must be made at 29 mm (1.14 inch) from the edge of
the rotor. The rotor thickness must not vary more than 0.010 mm (0.0004 inch)from point to point.
Maximum runout: 0.010 mm (0.0004 inch)

Distinct Of Circuit By Wire Base Color
All wires have color-coded insulation. Wires belonging to a system's main harness will have a
single color. Wires belonging to a system's sub-circuits will have a colored stripe. Striped wires use
the codes found in the chart to show wire size and colors.
Abbreviations are used to indicate wire color within a circuit diagram.
How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

produced as a by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts
with atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY TO COOL BEFORE
HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE HOT DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES
COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
After an air bag assembly has been deployed, the metal canister and surrounding areas of the air
bag assembly will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of the air bag assembly for about 30
minutes after deployment. If the deployed air bag assembly must be moved before it is cool, wear
gloves and handle by the air bag or trim cover.
31. Short the driver deployment harness wires by twisting together one end from each. Repeat this
procedure for the passenger deployment harness. 32. Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and
clean off any fragments or discard drop cloth entirely. 33. Disconnect driver deployment harness
and passenger deployment harness from vehicle and discard. 34. In the unlikely event that either
or both of the air bag assemblies did not deploy after following these procedures, proceed
immediately with Steps
36 through 37. If the air bag assembly deployed, proceed to step 35.
35. With both air bags deployed, the vehicle may be scrapped in the same manner as a non - SRS
equipped vehicle.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the unlikely event that the air bag assembly did
not deploy after following these procedures.
36. Remove the undeployed air bag assembly (s) from the vehicle. For driver air bag assembly
refer to in the "Passenger Air Bag Assembly Removal".
WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE
BAG AND TRIM COVER UP, AWAY FROM THE SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A
FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT
OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY.
37. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the air bag opening facing up, away from the
surface upon which it rests.
Deploying the Airbags/Tensioner (Outside Vehicle)
Deployment of a live (undeployed) airbag assembly for disposal should not take place in the
vehicle. This includes vehicles that needs replacement airbag assembly. Disposal of a
malfunctioning air bag assembly is subjected to a retention period. Proper service procedures must
be followed when performing live (undeployed) airbag deployment in the shop floor or open area
live (undeployed) airbag deployment. Safety glasses and gloves must always be worn during live
(undeployed) airbag deployment until the deployed airbag assembly has been properly disposed of
or an undeployed airbag assembly is shipped. Before performing the procedures you should be
familiar with servicing the SRS and with proper handling of the air bag assembly. Procedures
should be read fully before they are performed.

Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
Alignment: All Technical Service Bulletins Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
9. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap each rear tire back to the front, one at a time, and test-drive
the vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Replace the bad tire, then return the vehicle to your
customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec after swapping the front and rear tires, go to step 10.
10. Test-drive a known-good donor vehicle on the same road you used earlier, and check its pull.
11. Swap all four tires from the donor vehicle with the tires on your customer¡C■s vehicle.

Brake Hose/Line: Testing and Inspection
Brake Hose Inspection
The brake hose should be inspected at least twice a year. The brake hose assembly should be
checked for road hazard, cracks and chafing of the outer cover, and for leaks and blisters. Inspect
for proper routing and mounting of the hose. A brake hose that rubs on suspension components
will wear and eventually fail. A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspection. If any of
the above conditions are observed on the brake hose, adjust or replace the hose as necessary.
CAUTION: Never allow brake components such as calipers to hang from the brake hoses, as
damage to the hoses may occur.

Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The coolant temperature gauge consists of two intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. When voltage from fuse 11 is applied to the coils, a magnetic field is generated. This
causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to move. The magnetic field is controlled by the
sender. As the resistance in the sender varies, current through the gauge coils changes. The
gauge needle moves according to the changing magnetic field.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

1. Check for continuity between the end of the field coil and yoke body.
Replace the field coil, if there is continuity.
2. Check continuity between the lead wire of terminal C and brush.
Replace the yoke assembly, if there is no continuity.
Overrunning Clutch
1. Visual check for excessive wear or damage. 2. Test the pinion rotation, it must rotate smoothly
when rotated clockwise and it shouldn't rotate when turned counterclockwise.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Circuit Operation
The engine or powertrain control module (ECM or PCM) receives inputs from the engine sensors
and switches, controlling the functions of the engine. It also turns on the malfunction indicator
"check engine" light whenever a malfunction or abnormal engine performance is detected, and
allows for diagnostic testing through the data link connector (DLC).
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
The electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
chip that is physically soldered within the PCM. The EEPROM contains the program and the
calibration information that the PCM needs to control powertrain operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM is not replaceable. If the PCM is
replaced, the new PCM will need to be programmed. Equipment containing the correct program
and calibration for the vehicle is required to program the PCM.
PCM Components
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels to government mandated standards
while providing excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM monitors numerous engine and
vehicle functions via electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP) sensor, heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S), and vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain engine operations
through the following:
- Fuel injector control
- Ignition control module
- ION sensing module
- Automatic transmission shift functions
- Cruise control
- Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge
- A/C clutch control
PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)
PCM Input/Outputs

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Windshield Wipers - Blade Care & Replacement
Wiper Blade: Technical Service Bulletins Windshield Wipers - Blade Care & Replacement
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Windshield Wiper Blade Care and Replacement
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
A buildup of road film, oil, or grease on the windshield or the wiper blades can cause the wiper
blades to smear, streak, or chatter when being used. If your customers complain of this problem,
and their wiper blades are less than 6 months old, try doing this before you replace the blades:
- Use Glass Cleaner or equivalent, to thoroughly clean the windshield. Make sure you clean it well
enough so that water slides off of it, not just beads up.
- Use Windshield Washer Concentrate Cleaner & Antifreeze straight from the bottle on a soft cloth
to clean the wiper blades. This stuff contains a wetting agent that conditions the blade rubber.
If the wiper blades still smear, streak, or chatter after you've cleaned the windshield and the blades,
then blade replacement is in order. When you remove the old blade from its holder, make sure you
grab the locking end of the blade on its top and bottom (use your thumb and index finger for this).
Tug on the blade until it releases, then slide it off the holder. Don't grab the locking end from the
sides. The metal rails could come loose and you could also wind up with a nasty cut.
If the new blades don't have rails, make sure you install the rails from the old blades on the new
blades like this:
If the old rails are curved:
- Install them on the new driver's-side wiper blade with the ends bowing away from the windshield.
This makes the blade press harder against the middle of the windshield, providing a clear center of
vision for the driver.
- Install them on the new passenger's side wiper blade with the ends bowing toward the windshield.
This makes the blade press harder against the edges of the windshield to clear off any water at the
upper and lower ends of each wiper pass.
If the old rails lie flat: Install them on either new wiper blade.
If one of the new blades is shorter than the other (this is common on many vehicles), just install the
shorter blade on the driver's side.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

1. Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it stops.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and count the number of revolutions until it stops.
^ Divide the number of revolutions in half, and turn the steering wheel until it is centered. For
example, if it takes four revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, then two turns is
centered.
^ If the steering wheel is off-center by a large amount (20 mm or more), it may not be centered on
the steering column shaft. Reinstall the steering wheel before going to step 2.
2. Place the vehicle on a lift, turn the steering wheel until it is centered, and then raise the vehicle.
3. Adjust the tie-rods. Use your measurements from question 13 of the test-drive to make your
adjustment.

Engine - Connecting Rod Damage Information
Connecting Rod: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Connecting Rod Damage Information
Why Do Connecting Rods Break?
Curious why connecting rods break? Afier all, these are heavy-duty parts specifically designed to
endure punishing forces and temperatures. Yet, every once in a while they do bend or break and
wind up as cool conversation pieces for a coffee table or desk.
Connecting rods break only after they've gotten bent. And they won't get bent unless the engine
hydro-locks or the rod bearings fail.
When troubleshooting a bent or broken connecting rod, here are some things to consider:
^ The number one culprit for connecting rod breakage is hydro-lock. This happens when liquid
(water or fuel) entering the combustion chamber exceeds
the chamber's volume. Since liquids don't compress, that extra volume in the chamber causes the
rod to bend. You won't really notice anything wrong, until that bent rod finally gives out and breaks.
This could happen if you're driving through deep, standing water and someone coming the other
way splashes water over your hood. On very rare occasions, a bad ECM/PCM or fuel injector can
cause too much fuel to enter a cylinder, causing hydro-lock and resulting in a bent rod. Before this
happens, though, there are usually some kind of drive ability problems that crop up and remain
afier the engine is fixed.
A bent rod might not show any symptoms until it actually breaks. But bent rods leave a
wider-than-normal carbon witness line in the cylinder because they're shorter. Typically, a healthy
engine has a carbon line that's 6 mm deep. An engine that's suffering from bent rods has a second
carbon line that's 9 to 12 mm deep.
^ Connecting rod bearings fail for a number of reasons. To properly determine what actually
caused a rod bearing to fail, you've got to take apart all rod
bearings and main bearings and compare them side by side. If all or most of the bearings and
journals show similar damage (scoring, exposed copper, or heat discoloration) the likely cause is
oil starvation, poor maintenance, customer abuse, or running the engine with an aftermarket power
booster (nitrous oxide setup, supercharger, turbocharger). If only the bearing or journal for the
failed rod looks bad but all the other ones look good (no scoring, no exposed copper or heat
discoloration) and the crankshaft journals are smooth with no heat discoloration, then that particular
bearing/ clearance would be suspect.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor which changes its resistance based on the
temperature of air entering the engine. Low temperature produces a high resistance of 100,000
Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes low resistance of 70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F).
The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the sensor through a resistor in the PCM and monitors the
signal voltage. The voltage will be high when the incoming air is cold. The voltage will be low when
the incoming air is hot. By measuring the voltage, the PCM calculates the incoming air
temperature. The IAT sensor signal is used to adjust spark timing according to the incoming air
density.
The Tech 2 displays the temperature of the air entering the engine. The temperature should read
close to the ambient air temperature when the engine is cold and rise as underhood temperature
increases. If the engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the IAT sensor temperature
and engine coolant temperature should read close to each other. A Fault in the IAT sensor circuit
will set DTC P0112 or DTC P0113.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In
Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the
SRS coil assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the "AIR BAG" warning lamp in the
instrument cluster. The SDM, SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag assembly,
passenger air bag assembly and connector wire make up the deployment loops. The function of
the deployment loops is to supply current through air bag assembly, which will cause deployment
of the air bags in the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30 degrees off the centerline
of the vehicle. The air bag assemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy when the SDM
detects vehicle velocity changes severe enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal.
The electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and then compared to a value stored in

Brake Fluid: Service Precautions
Deterioration of Brake Fluid
Using any other brake fluid than specified or brake fluid with mineral oil or water mixed in will drop
the boiling point of brake fluid. It may, in turn, result in vapor lock or deteriorated rubber parts of the
hydraulic system. Be sure to change the brake fluid at specified intervals. If the rubber parts are
deteriorated, remove all the system parts and clean them with alcohol. Prior to reassembly, dry the
cleaned parts with air to remove the alcohol. Replace all the hoses and rubber parts of the system.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair Inspection and Repair
Inspection and Repair
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and therefore its inspection is very important.
- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and insulator of spark plug reduces the engine
performance.
Possible causes:
- Too rich mixture
- Presence of oil in combustion chamber
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:
- Too lean mixture
- Improper heat value

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Output Check
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which
result from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and engine speed changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the the sensor output voltage, the PCM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output
voltage will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. Higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4
- 4.8 volts at wide open throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
barometric pressure, allowing the PCM to make adjustments for different altitudes. The PCM uses
the MAP sensor to diagnose proper operation of the EGR system, in addition to other functions.

Tires: Testing and Inspection
Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and/or premature wear has many causes. Some of them are incorrect inflation pressures,
lack of tire rotation, poor driving habits or improper wheel alignment. Incorrect inflation is common
cause of tire premature wear.
NOTE: Due to their design, radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly on the
front tires. This makes regular rotation especially necessary. After rotation, be sure to check wheel
nut torque, and set tire pressures.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread Wear Indicators
The original equipment tires have built-in tread wear indicators (l) to show when tires need
replacement. These indicators may appear as wide bands. When the indicators appear in two or
more grooves at three locations, tire replacement is recommended.
Diagnosis List
Diagnosis List
If the conditions are noted, rotation is required. 1. Front tire wear is different from rear. 2. Uneven
wear exists across the tread of any tire. 3. Left and right front tire wear is unequal. 4. Left and right
rear tire wear is unequal.
If the conditions. are noted, check the wheel alignment. 1. Left and right front tire wear is unequal.
2. Uneven wear exists across the tread of any tire. 3. Front tire treads have scuffed appearance
with "feather" edges on one side of tread ribs or blocks. 4. There is cupping, flat spotting etc.
Page 2927
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, there are necessary to relieve the fuel
system pressure before filler and gauge unit servicing the fuel system components.
CAUTION: After relieving the system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing fuel lines or connections. Reduce the chance of personal injury by covering the fuel line
fittings with a shop towel before you disconnect the fittings. The towels will absorb any fuel that
may leak out. When the disconnect is completed, place the towel in an approved container.
1. Remove the fuel cap. 2. Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood relay box. 3. Start the

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 58
it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the

Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure
(vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below 2 volts at idle (high
vacuum) to above 4 volts with the ignition ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle (low
vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following:
- Manifold pressure changes while the linear EGR flow test diagnostic is being run. Refer to DTC
P0401.
- Barometric pressure (BARO).
If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the possible range of the MAP sensor, DTC P0107
will be set. A signal voltage higher than the possible range of the sensor will set DTC P0108. An
intermittent low or high voltage will set DTC P1107, respectively. The PCM can detect a shifted
MAP sensor. The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal to a calculated MAP based on throttle
position and various engine load factors. If the PCM detects a MAP signal that varies excessively
above or below the calculated value, DTC P0106 will set.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.
Page 933
The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the
vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Speed Sensor
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is attached to the knuckle on the front wheels and to
the rear axle case on the rear differential. The front sensor rotor is attached to the each brake rotor
by bolts. The rear rotor is press-fit in the differential case. The magnetic flux generated from
electrodes magnetized by a magnet in the sensor varies due to rotation of the rotor, and the
electromagnetic induction generates alternating voltage in the coil. This voltage draws a "sine
curve" with the frequency proportional to rotor speed and it allows detection of wheel speed.

Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
Alignment: All Technical Service Bulletins Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
9. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap each rear tire back to the front, one at a time, and test-drive
the vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Replace the bad tire, then return the vehicle to your
customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec after swapping the front and rear tires, go to step 10.
10. Test-drive a known-good donor vehicle on the same road you used earlier, and check its pull.
11. Swap all four tires from the donor vehicle with the tires on your customer¡C■s vehicle.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

Wheels: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
1. Loosen wheel lug nut by approximately 180 g (half a rotation), then raise the vehicle and remove
the nuts. 2. Remove wheel and tire.
NOTE: Never use heat to loosen a tight wheel lug nut. The application of heat to the hub can
shorten the life of the wheel and may cause damage to wheel bearings.
INSTALLATION
1. Install wheel and tire.
2. Install wheel lug nut, and lower the vehicle. Tighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque in
numerical order.
Torque: 118 Nm (87 ft. lbs.)
CAUTION: Before installing wheels, remove any build-up of corrosion on the wheel mounting
surface and brake disc mounting surface by scraping and wire brushing. Installing wheels without
good metal-to-metal contact at mounting surfaces can cause wheel nuts to loosen, which can later
allow a wheel to come off while the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: Valve caps should be on the valve stems to keep dust and water out.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Service Precautions
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). REFER TO
THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR
THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener,
use ONLY the exact part number for that application. ISUZU will call out those fasteners that
require a replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings
(Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces.
Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and
specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
The following are general precautions which should be observed when servicing and diagnosing
the Anti-lock Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to observe these precautions may
result in Anti-lock Brake System damage. If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle using an electric arc welder, the EHCU and valve
block connectors should be disconnected before the welding operation begins.
- The EHCU and valve block connectors should never be connected or disconnected with the
ignition "ON".
- If only rear wheels are rotated using jacks or drum tester, the system will diagnose a speed
sensor malfunction and the "ABS" warning light will illuminate. But actually no trouble exists. After
inspection stop the engine once and re-start it, then make sure that the "ABS" warning light does
not illuminate.
If the battery has been discharged The engine may stall if the battery has been completely
discharged and the engine is started via jumper cables. This is because the Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) requires a large quantity of electricity. In this case, wait until the battery is
recharged, or set the ABS to a non-operative state by removing the fuse for the ABS (60A). After
the battery has been recharged, stop the engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine again,
and confirm that the ABS warning light does not light.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Service Precautions
CONTROL MODULE PRECAUTIONS
The Anti-lock Brake System interfaces directly with the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
which is a control computer that is similar in some regards to the Powertrain Control Module.
These modules are designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation.
However, care must be taken to avoid overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing for opens or
shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the circuits unless instructed to do so by the
appropriate diagnostic procedure. These circuits should only be tested with a high impedance
multimeter (J-39200) or special tools. Power should never be removed or applied to any control
module with the ignition in the "ON" position.
Before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or connectors, always turn the ignition switch
to the "OFF" position.
SRS Operation
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver (and front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag (and front passenger's airbag).
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charge(s). If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the
voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s). 3. The
inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s).
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator light comes on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit
passes on the information from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can
be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).
Adjustments
Valve Clearance: Adjustments
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
NOTE:
- Valve adjustment can be done either on-vehicle or off-vehicle.
- To measure exhaust valves, you need a 0.25 mm and a 0.35 mm feeler gauge.
- To measure intake valves, you need a 0.23 mm and a 0.33 mm feeler gauge. Since these are odd
sizes, you may need to stack two gauges (for example,
0.11 mm and 0.12 mm to make 0.23 mm). If you do this, make sure the gauges are clean and in
good condition. If you're not sure the gauge stack is correct, measure it with a micrometer.
On-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Remove the cylinder head covers.
4. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +/- 0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +/- 0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
5. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
6. If you need to replace a valve shim, turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) until the cam lobe for the
valve points away from the valve.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /

90-011, Steering Wheel Off-Center Adjustment at PDI)*
*REVISION SUMMARY
The title description was revised.*
SYMPTOM
While driving on a straight road, the vehicle pulls or drifts to the right or left.
BACKGROUND
New tools were developed to help you diagnose and correct a pulling and/or steering wheel
off-center issue. There is a diagnosis worksheet included to take on your test-drive and record your
findings. These values are used to build the 15-digit DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that is required
for your warranty claim. The last step in each repair procedure helps you create the correct code.
In the rare case that you have to repair a vehicle that pulls and has the steering wheel off-center,
use REPAIR PROCEDURE B to file your warranty claim.
For more information, refer to Training Module SSC 44 - Steering Drift or Pull Interactive Service
Bulletin.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Several conditions can cause the vehicle to pull or drift:
^ Wheel alignment
^ Tires
^ Off-center steering wheel (no pulling or drifting, but a customer may believe this is the case)
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Diagnose the problem using the special tools and the worksheet on page 4 that guides you to one
of four repair procedures.

The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the
vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

COMPONENT: Suspension: Rear
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: ?
SUMMARY: Isuzu is recalling certain model year 1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo and model year 2002
Isuzu Axiom vehicles, and Honda is recalling certain 1998-2002 Honda Passport vehicles, that
were originally sold, or are currently registered, in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, The District of Columbia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Kentucky. Vehicles that have experienced sustained exposure to
highly corrosive materials used in some jurisdictions for road deicing purposes may experience
excessive corrosion in the vicinity of the forward mounting point bracket for the left or right rear
suspension lower link prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected.
CONSEQUENCE: Excessive corrosion may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link
bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause
a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area. For vehicles in which
little or no corrosion is found, the area will be treated with an anti-corrosive compound. For vehicles
in which corrosion has damaged the rear suspension lower link bracket and affected its connection
to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed. In the rare event the corrosion is so
severe that the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be appropriate, Isuzu and Honda will
develop an appropriate remedy. All inspections and remedies will be provided free of charge for
vehicles that are 10 years old or less. For vehicles older than 10 years, Isuzu will offer a free
remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu service facility, or Honda dealer (as
applicable), dealer within 12 months of when owner notifications were issued. The manufacturer
has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Isuzu owners may contact Isuzu at
1-800-255-6727. Honda owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
NOTES: Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle
Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

Key: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

7. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
8. Connect the 10P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.
9. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

10. Slowly turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley counterclockwise so that when the valve closes,
the tool catches between the camshaft and the
tappet, holding the valve slightly open.
NOTE:
Do not turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley too far or in the wrong direction. If you do, you might
break the tool, or worse yet, damage the cylinder head.
11. Insert a pick or a small screwdriver into the tappet notch, and pry out the shim.
12. Wipe off the shim, then write its number on the Valve Inspection Chart for that valve and
cylinder. If there is no number on the shim, measure its
thickness with a micrometer, and write down the measurement on the Valve Inspection Chart.
13. Follow the directions on the Valve Shim Replacement Chart to select the correct shim.
14. Insert the correct shim, number side down, into the tappet. Make sure the shim is fully seated.
15. Release and remove the tool by turning the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley clockwise.
16. Turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) pulley clockwise until the cam lobe again points away from
the valve.

Applies To: 1998-01 Passport - ALL
Blower Does Not Run in One or More Settings (Supersedes 01-007, dated July 3, 2001)
SYMPTOM
The blower does not run in one or more fan control lever positions.
PROBABLE CAUSE
A high current draw on the blower resistor causes it overheat and to become electrically "open."
This high current draw is usually caused by high friction in the blower motor bearings and/or debris
in the blower assembly housing, which jams or slows the blower motor and damages its
commutator.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the blower resistor and the blower motor assembly. Clean out all debris from inside the
blower assembly housing.

SRS Component and Wiring Location View
SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module)
WARNING: DURING SERVICE PROCEDURES, BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING A SDM.
NEVER STRIKE OR JAR THE SDM. NEVER POWER UP THE SRS WHEN THE SDM IS NOT
RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. ALL SDM AND MOUNTING BRACKET FASTENERS
MUST BE CAREFULLY TORQUED AND THE ARROW MUST BE POINTED TOWARD THE
FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OF THE SRS. THE SDM COULD
BE ACTIVATED WHEN POWERED WHILE NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE
WHICH COULD CAUSE DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
The SDM is designed to perform the following functions in the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS).
1. Energy Reserve -The SDM maintains 24 - Volt Loop Reserve (24 VLR) energy supply to provide
deployment energy when ignition voltage is lost
in a frontal crash.
2. Frontal Crash Detection - The SDM monitors vehicle velocity changes to detect frontal crashes
which are severe enough to warrant deployment. 3. Air Bag Deployment - When a frontal crash of
sufficient force is detected, the SDM will cause enough current to flow through the air bag
assembly to deploy the air bag.
4. Malfunction Detection - The SDM performs diagnostic monitoring of SRS electrical components
and sets a diagnostic trouble code when a
malfunction is detected.
5. Frontal Crash Recording - The SDM records information regarding SRS status during frontal
crash. 6. Malfunction Diagnosis - The SDM displays SRS diagnostic trouble codes and system
status information through the use of a scan tool. 7. Driver notification - The SDM warns the vehicle
driver of SRS malfunctions by controlling the "Air Bag" warning lamp.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
Alignment: All Technical Service Bulletins Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
9. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap each rear tire back to the front, one at a time, and test-drive
the vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Replace the bad tire, then return the vehicle to your
customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec after swapping the front and rear tires, go to step 10.
10. Test-drive a known-good donor vehicle on the same road you used earlier, and check its pull.
11. Swap all four tires from the donor vehicle with the tires on your customer¡C■s vehicle.

7. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
8. Connect the 10P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.
9. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair
Removal
1. Disconnect battery ground cable 2. Wiring connector from crankshaft position sensor. 3. Remove
crankshaft position sensor from cylinder block.
Installation
1. Install crankshaft position sensor into the cylinder block.
Before installation,apply small amount of engine oil to the O-ring.
Torque: 10 N.m (87 lb.in)
2. Reconnect wiring connector to crankshaft position sensor.
Page 5580
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

Tires: Service and Repair General Balance Procedure
General Balance Procedure
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from the inside of the rim. The tire should be inspected for
the following: match mount paint marks, bent rims, bulges, irregular tire wear, proper wheel size
and inflation pressure. Then balance according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
There are two types of wheel and tire balance. Static balance is the equal distribution of weight
around the wheel. Assemblies that are statically unbalanced cause a bouncing action called tramp.
This condition will eventually cause uneven tire wear.
Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight on each side of the wheel center-line so that
when the tire spins there is no tendency for the assembly to move from side to side. Assemblies
that are dynamically unbalanced may cause shimmy.
WARNING: STONES SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE TREAD TO AVOID OPERATOR
INJURY DURING SPIN BALANCING AND TO OBTAIN A GOOD BALANCE.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Page 7338
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Three-way catalytic converters are used to control emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The catalyst within the converters promotes a
chemical reaction. This reaction oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas and converts
them into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx by converting it
to nitrogen. The PCM can monitor this process using the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2
heated oxygen sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the Bank 2 HO2S 1 sensors produce an output
signal which indicates the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas entering the three-way
catalytic converter. The Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors produce an output signal
which indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. This indicates the catalyst's ability to
efficiently convert exhaust gases. If the catalyst is operating efficiently, the Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the
Bank 2 HO2S 1 signals will be more active than the signals produced by the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and
the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors.
The catalyst monitor sensors operate the same as the fuel control sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 2
and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors main function is catalyst monitoring, but they also have a limited
role in fuel control. If a sensor output indicates a voltage either above or below the 450 mV bias
voltage for an extended period of time, the PCM will make a slight adjustment to fuel trim to ensure
that fuel delivery is correct for catalyst monitoring.
A problem with the Bank 1 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0137, P0138, or P0140, depending
on the specific condition. A problem with the Bank 2 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0157,
P0158, or P0160, depending on the specific condition. A fault in the heated oxygen sensor heater
element or its ignition feed or ground will result in lower sensor response. This may cause incorrect
catalyst monitor diagnostic results.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The brake system warning light goes on to alert the driver that the parking brake is applied or that
the brake fluid is low. It also lights as a bulb test when the engine is cranked.
Parking Brake Switch
With the ignition switch in ON or START, battery voltage is applied through fuse 11 to the brake
system warning light. When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake switch closes and
provides a ground for the light. The brake system warning light goes on to remind the driver that
the parking brake is applied.
Brake Fluid Level Switch
With the ignition switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied to fuse 11 and to the brake
system warning light. If the brake fluid is low, the brake fluid level switch closes and provides a
ground for the light. The brake system warning light comes on to warn the driver of low brake fluid
level in the brake master cylinder. (Note: check brake pad wear before adding fluid.)
Bulb Check
With the ignition switch in START, the brake system warning light is turned on for bulb check.
During bulb check, the light is grounded through the alternator. See Indicators for further details.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the PCM are often designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of
static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components. By comparison, it takes as
much as 4000 volts for a person to feel even the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and induction.
- An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a vehicle seat.
- Charge by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentary touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore it is important to use care when handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage, follow these guidelines:
- Do not touch the PCM connector pins or soldered components on the PCM circuit board.
- Do not open the replacement part package until the part is ready to be installed.
- Before removing the pan: from the package, ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
- If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a known good ground before installing the part.

See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Page 488
CAUTION: Never apply force to the steering wheel shaft using a hammer or other impact tools in
an attempt to remove the steering wheel. The steering shaft is designed as an energy absorbing
unit.
9. Remove steering column cover.
10. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors located under the steering column then remove
combination switch and SRS coil assembly.
INSTALLATION
1. Install combination switch and SRS coil assembly. After installation of combination switch
assembly, connect the combination switch wiring
harness connector and the SRS 2-way connector located under the steering column. Then turn the
SRS coil counter clockwise to full, return about 3 turns and align the neutral mark.
CAUTION: Turn the SRS coil counter clockwise until some resistance is felt, or damage may occur
to the SRS coil.

Page 5449
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

2. Remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator, then start the engine.
^ If fuel comes out of the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose connection, go to REPAIR
PROCEDURE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR.
^ If no fuel comes out of the regulator, reconnect the vacuum hose and continue to step 3.
3. Connect the PGM Tester. Set it to Engine Data List.
4. Have an assistant drive the vehicle under the conditions described by the customer.
5. If the high or erratic idle condition occurs, note the values of the PSP Switch and APP Sensor 1
when it is occurring.
^ If the PSP Switch is HIGH, and you are not turning, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE POWER
STEERING SWITCH.
^ If the APP Sensor 1 is greater than 15% and APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 are less than
85%, and the accelerator pedal is not depressed, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE APPS GROUND.
^ If the PSP Switch is reading LOW when not turning and HIGH when turning, and the APP
Sensors are reading within the range shown, discontinue the test-drive and go to step 6.
6. Do these repairs:

^ Crank the engine for 3 seconds.
2. Remove the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator.
3. Remove the fuel pressure regulator shield from the common chamber (two bolts).
Page 4634
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Tires: Service and Repair General Balance Procedure
General Balance Procedure
Deposits of mud, etc. must be cleaned from the inside of the rim. The tire should be inspected for
the following: match mount paint marks, bent rims, bulges, irregular tire wear, proper wheel size
and inflation pressure. Then balance according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
There are two types of wheel and tire balance. Static balance is the equal distribution of weight
around the wheel. Assemblies that are statically unbalanced cause a bouncing action called tramp.
This condition will eventually cause uneven tire wear.
Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight on each side of the wheel center-line so that
when the tire spins there is no tendency for the assembly to move from side to side. Assemblies
that are dynamically unbalanced may cause shimmy.
WARNING: STONES SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE TREAD TO AVOID OPERATOR
INJURY DURING SPIN BALANCING AND TO OBTAIN A GOOD BALANCE.

Interior - Fabric Upholstery Wrinkle Information
Seat Cover: Technical Service Bulletins Interior - Fabric Upholstery Wrinkle Information
Use a Steamer to Smooth Out Fabric Upholstery
A garment steamer and a stiff-bristle brush make a great team for removing those nasty wrinkles,
lines, or impressions in fabric upholstery. You can buy an inexpensive, small, hand-held garment/
fabric steamer from a number of different manufacturers. Some of these units even come with a
handy built-in brush.
Once you've got your steamer, follow the manufacturer's instructions to get it ready for use. Then
apply a generous amount of steam to the problem area. Keep the steamer moving slowly over the
area until it's hot and moist.
A Word of Caution: Go easy on the steam if you're cleaning the front passenger seat in a vehicle
with side airbags. Moisture can adversely affect or damage the OPDS sensors in the seatback.
While the area is hot and moist, use a stiff-bristle brush, or the built-in brush if your steamer has
one, to work the fabric back and forth and up and down. Stubborn areas might need more steam
and brushing, so be patient and stay with it. It's worth the effort.

want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works

Refrigerant: Service and Repair System Evacuation
Evacuation Of The Refrigerant System
NOTE: Explained below is a method using a vacuum pump. Refer to the ACR(4)(or equivalent)
manufacturer's instructions when evacuating the system with a ACR(4)(or equivalent).
Air and moisture in the refrigerant will cause problems in the air conditioning system. Therefore,
before charging the refrigerant, be sure to evacuate air and moisture thoroughly from the system.
1. Connect the gauge manifold.
- High-pressure valve (HI) - Discharge-side.
- Low-pressure valve (LOW) - Suction-side.
2. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. 3. Connect the center hose of the gauge manifold set to
the vacuum pump inlet. 4. Operate the vacuum pump, open shutoff valve and then open both hand
valves. 5. When the low-pressure gauge indicates approximately 750 mmHg (30 inHg), continue
the evacuation for 5 minutes or more. 6. Close both hand valves and stop the vacuum pump. 7.
Check to ensure that the pressure does not change after 10 minutes or more.
- If the pressure changes, check the system for leaks.
- If leaks occur, retighten the refrigerant line connections and repeat the evacuation steps.
8. If no leaks are found, again operate the vacuum pump for 20 minutes or more. After confirming
that the gauge manifold pressure is at 750 mmHg
(30 inHg), close both hand valves.
9. Close positive shutoff valve. Stop the vacuum pump and disconnect the center hose from the
vacuum pump.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).

ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The PCM determines the speed of the vehicle by converting a plusing voltage signal from the
vehicle speed sensor (VSS) into miles per hour. The PCM uses this signal to operate the cruise
control, speedometer, and the TCC and shift solenoids in the transmission. For more information
on the TCC and shift solenoids, refer to 4L30-E Automatic Transmission (Transmission Control
System Diagnosis).
How the Circuit Works
The VSS generates a signal for the speedometer. The speedometer consists of its own speed
sensor, an ammeter (to move the needle), stepper motor (to turn the odometer), and a driving
circuit (printed circuit board).
The VSS is mounted to the transmission. The transmission pinion shaft generates four pulses per
one rotation. The rate at which the pulses are generated indicates the vehicle speed. The speed
sensor in the speedometer uses the pulses to control how far and fast the needle moves and to
send vehicle speed information (4096 pulses per mile) to the ECM or PCM.

^ If this is your first time using the pop nut installer, or if you haven't used it in a while, practice
installing one or two pop nuts onto the pop nut test
plate:
- Place a pop nut at the tip of installer's threaded mandrel. Make sure to keep your fingers away
from the gap between the pop nut and the base of the mandrel. Squeeze the installer's trigger; the
pop nut threads onto the mandrel.
- Insert the pop nut into a hole on the pop nut test plate. Make sure the pop nut is seated against
the plate.
- Squeeze and hold the installer's trigger until the mandrel reverses and unthreads the pop nut.
- Measure the diameter of the expanded (crush) section of the installed pop nut; it should be at
least 15 mm. If you need more practice, install another pop nut on the test plate.
34. Install a pop nut in each of the 32 holes you drilled on the frame rails (16 per bracket). Make
sure each pop nut is seated against the frame before you pull the trigger. Continue holding the
trigger until the mandrel reverses direction. Once reversed, pull back slightly, and the mandrel
unthreads the pop nut.

Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body. The PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal also changes. At a
closed throttle position, the output of the TP1 sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be above 92 % (Tech 2
Display).
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
PCM thinks the throttle is moving.

Air Bag Control Module: Vehicle Damage Warnings
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93 °C (200 °C). 2. Air bag
assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used If they have been
dropped from a height of 100 centimeters
(3.28 feet).
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the
SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chant
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code. 5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must
be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect pants replacement.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Speed Sensor
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is attached to the knuckle on the front wheels and to
the rear axle case on the rear differential. The front sensor rotor is attached to the each brake rotor
by bolts. The rear rotor is press-fit in the differential case. The magnetic flux generated from
electrodes magnetized by a magnet in the sensor varies due to rotation of the rotor, and the
electromagnetic induction generates alternating voltage in the coil. This voltage draws a "sine
curve" with the frequency proportional to rotor speed and it allows detection of wheel speed.

Alignment: Description and Operation
General Description
"Front End Alignment" refers to the angular relationship between the front wheels, the front
suspension attaching parts and the ground. Proper front end alignment must be maintained in
order to insure efficient steering, good directional stability and to prevent abnormal tire wear. The
most important factors of front end alignment are wheel toe-in, wheel camber and axle caster.
Camber:
This illustration shows view from the front of the vehicle. Camber is the vertical tilting inward or
outward of the front wheels. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+).
When the wheels tilt inward at the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt measured in
degrees from the vertical is called the camber angle (1). If camber is extreme or unequal between
the wheels, improper steering and excessive tire wear will result. Negative camber causes wear on
the inside of the tire, while positive camber causes wear to the outside.
Caster:
This illustration shows view from the side of the vehicle. Caster (1) is the vertical tilting of the wheel
axis either forward or backward (when viewed from the side of the vehicle). A backward tilt is
positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-). On the short and long arm type suspension you cannot
see a caster angle without a special instrument, but if you look straight down from the top of the
upper control arm to the ground, the ball joints do not line up (fore and aft) when a caster angle
other than 0 degree is present. With a positive angle, the lower ball joint would be slightly ahead
(toward the front of the vehicle) of the upper ball joint center line.
Toe-in:

ATF Level Check
Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair ATF Level Check
Checking Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
Checking fluid level and condition (color and odor) at regular intervals will provide early diagnosis
information about the transmission. This information may be used to correct a condition that, if not
detected early, could result in major transmission repairs.
IMPORTANT: When new, automatic transmission fluid is red in color. As the vehicle is driven, the
transmission fluid will begin to look darker in color. The color may eventually appear light brown.
A dark brown color with burnt odor may indicate excessive fluid deterioration and signal a need for
fluid change.
Fluid Level
When adding or changing fluid, use only DEXRON III. Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication in
General Information for maintenance information and servicing interval.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling will cause foaming, loss of fluid, abnormal shifting and
possible damage to the transmission.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake firmly. 2. Check fluid level with
engine running at idle.
NOTE: Be sure that transmission fluid temperature is below 30°C (86°F).
3. Move the selector lever through all gear ranges. 4. Move the selector lever to "Park". 5. Let
engine idle for 3 minutes and open the overfill screw (1). 6. Add released transmission fluid until it
flows out over the overfill screw opening.
7. Let engine idle until a fluid temperature between 32°C (90°F) and 57°C (135°F) is reached, then
close the overfill screw (1).
Torque: 38 Nm (28 ft. lbs.)
NOTE: To prevent fluid leaks, the overfill screw and oil drain screws gasket must be replaced each
time these screws are removed.
NOTE: Check transmission fluid temperature with scan tool.
Minimum fluid level 57°C (135°F) Maximum fluid level 32°C (90°F)
CAUTION: Do not open overfill screw with engine stopped.
CAUTION: DO NO T CHECK FLUID LEVEL UNDER THESE CONDITIONS: Immediately after driving at sustained highway speeds.
- In heavy city traffic during hot weather.
- If vehicle is towing a trailer.
If the vehicle has been operated under these conditions, shut the engine off and allow the vehicle
to "cool" for thirty (30) minutes. After the cool down period, restart the vehicle and continue from
step 2.

Circuit Operation
Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation Circuit Operation
The engine or powertrain control module (ECM or PCM) receives inputs from the engine sensors
and switches, controlling the functions of the engine. It also turns on the malfunction indicator
"check engine" light whenever a malfunction or abnormal engine performance is detected, and
allows for diagnostic testing through the data link connector (DLC).

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Description and Operation
Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early ’90s, Honda vehicles have come with an electrical load detector (ELD) unit in the
under-hood fuse/relay box. This unit allows the ECM/PCM to regulate the alternator (switch it
between high output and low output) to provide the best combination of fuel economy and electrical
system operation. The ELD sends a signal to the ECM/PCM that is proportional to the electrical
demand. The ECM/PCM switches the alternator between high output and low output depending on
several factors, which include electrical demand, battery charge level, and the driving cycle. When
the alternator is in low output, the engine load is reduced and fuel economy improves.

Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.
The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the
vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

If the conditions are noted, rotation is required. 1. Front tire wear is different from rear. 2. Uneven
wear exists across the tread of any tire. 3. Left and right front tire wear is unequal. 4. Left and right
rear tire wear is unequal.
If the conditions. are noted, check the wheel alignment. 1. Left and right front tire wear is unequal.
2. Uneven wear exists across the tread of any tire. 3. Front tire treads have scuffed appearance
with "feather" edges on one side of tread ribs or blocks. 4. There is cupping, flat spotting etc.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause: 1. Hard ride. 2. Poor steering stability. 3. Rapid
and uneven wear at center of the tread.
Lower than recommended pressure can cause: 1. Tire squeal on turns. 2. Hard steering. 3. Rapid
and uneven wear on the edges of the tread. 4. Tire rim bruises and rupture. 5. Tire cord breakage.
6. High tire temperatures. 7. Reduced handling. 8. Reduced fuel economy.

2. Press down until the catch engages.
- An audible "click" will be heard.
3. Install the fuse and relay box cover.
Page 7340
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 1998
7. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
8. Connect the 10P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.
9. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Steering Wheel: Vehicle Damage Warnings
CAUTION: Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle, the column is extremely
susceptible to damage. Dropping the column assembly on its end could collapse the steering shaft
or loosen the slide block, which maintains column rigidity. Leaning on the column assembly could
cause the jacket to bend or deform. Any of the above damage could impair the column's collapsible
design. If it is necessary to remove the steering wheel, use only the specified steering wheel puller.
Under no conditions should the end of the shaft be hammered upon, as hammering could loosen
the slide block, which maintains column rigidity.

halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor which changes its resistance based on the
temperature of air entering the engine. Low temperature produces a high resistance of 100,000
Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes low resistance of 70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F).
The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the sensor through a resistor in the PCM and monitors the
signal voltage. The voltage will be high when the incoming air is cold. The voltage will be low when
the incoming air is hot. By measuring the voltage, the PCM calculates the incoming air
temperature. The IAT sensor signal is used to adjust spark timing according to the incoming air
density.
The Tech 2 displays the temperature of the air entering the engine. The temperature should read
close to the ambient air temperature when the engine is cold and rise as underhood temperature
increases. If the engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the IAT sensor temperature
and engine coolant temperature should read close to each other. A Fault in the IAT sensor circuit
will set DTC P0112 or DTC P0113.

The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the
vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse current at normal voltages just like a rectifier diode. At high voltages,

Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Assembling Advice
By applying engine oil or light oil to the pipe, port makes pipe assembly easier. The pipe assembly
should take place immediately after applying oil (to prevent dust from sticking to the pipe surface which may decrease sealing ability).
Test/Inspection After Assembling
1. Reconnect the battery negative cable. 2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and listen for
pump start-up sound. Inspect for leaks, the fuel pressure will increase as the fuel pump is
actuated.
3. Perform leak inspection (step 2) several times. 4. Start the engine and observe the engine idle
speed. The presence of dirt in the fuel system may affect the fuel injection system.
Page 521
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In
Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the

NOTE:
- Do not install the timing belt until you are sure the camshafts, camshaft pulleys, and crankshaft
timing pulley are in their correct "timed" positions.
- Left and right engine callouts are from the driver's seat.
1. With the green direction arrows on the timing belt pointing clockwise, slip the belt over the right
camshaft pulley so its solid white line (the line
closest to the direction arrows) aligns with the mark on the pulley. Secure the belt to the pulley with
a large binder clip.
2. Wrap the timing belt around the bottom of the water pump pulley, and draw it tight.
3. Slip the timing belt over the left camshaft pulley so its other solid white line (the one farthest from
the direction arrows) aligns with the mark on
the pulley. Secure the belt to the pulley with a large binder clip.
4. Wrap the timing belt around the inner side of the idler pulley, then slip the belt over the
crankshaft timing pulley with its dotted white line aligned
to the green mark on the crankshaft timing pulley.
NOTE:
For correct belt stretch, the doffed line must meet the green mark on the crankshaft timing pulley at
the 9 o'clock position. If there isn't enough slack to slip the belt over the pulley in the correct
position, turn the crankshaft a few degrees counterclockwise, install the belt, then turn the
crankshaft back to the 9 o'clock position.

SOURCE: Honda Service News March 2003
TITLE: Installing an In-Tank Fuel Pump/Sending Unit? Don't Forget a New Base Gasket, Locknut,
and Fuel Line Retainers
APPLIES TO: See Models Listed In Illustration
SERVICE TIP: Whenever you install an in-tank fuel pump/sending unit into a plastic fuel tank, the
S/M tells you to install a new base gasket. But did you know you also need to replace the locknut
and the fuel line retainers as well? Make a note in the Fuel Supply System subsection of the
appropriate S/Ms to also replace the locknut and the fuel line retainers. Then follow this handy
chart to order the appropriate parts.
Install the new gasket on the fuel tank side, not on the fuel pump/sending unit side; this ensures
that the gasket doesn't get pinched or rolled. If you don't install the fuel pump/sending unit
correctly, the MIL could come on with an EVAP control system leakage DTC set. The gasket and
the locknut are currently available in Honda parts stock under separate part numbers. But soon,
they'll be packaged under a single part number. The fuel sending unit, gasket, and locknut will also
be packaged together under a single part number. The gasket and the locknut will then be
discontinued as separate part numbers.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair System Evacuation
Evacuation Of The Refrigerant System
NOTE: Explained below is a method using a vacuum pump. Refer to the ACR(4)(or equivalent)
manufacturer's instructions when evacuating the system with a ACR(4)(or equivalent).
Air and moisture in the refrigerant will cause problems in the air conditioning system. Therefore,
before charging the refrigerant, be sure to evacuate air and moisture thoroughly from the system.
1. Connect the gauge manifold.
- High-pressure valve (HI) - Discharge-side.
- Low-pressure valve (LOW) - Suction-side.
2. Discharge and recover the refrigerant. 3. Connect the center hose of the gauge manifold set to
the vacuum pump inlet. 4. Operate the vacuum pump, open shutoff valve and then open both hand
valves. 5. When the low-pressure gauge indicates approximately 750 mmHg (30 inHg), continue
the evacuation for 5 minutes or more. 6. Close both hand valves and stop the vacuum pump. 7.
Check to ensure that the pressure does not change after 10 minutes or more.
- If the pressure changes, check the system for leaks.
- If leaks occur, retighten the refrigerant line connections and repeat the evacuation steps.
8. If no leaks are found, again operate the vacuum pump for 20 minutes or more. After confirming
that the gauge manifold pressure is at 750 mmHg
(30 inHg), close both hand valves.
9. Close positive shutoff valve. Stop the vacuum pump and disconnect the center hose from the
vacuum pump.
Page 5700
- Charge the refrigerant until the scale reading decreases by the amount of the charge specified.
Specified amount: 650 g (1.43 lbs)
- If charging the system becomes difficult: 1. Run the engine at idle and close all the vehicle doors.
2. Turn A/C switch "ON". 3. Set the fan switch to its highest position. 4. Set the air source selector
lever to "CIRC". 5. Slowly open the low side valve on the manifold gauge set.
WARNING: BE ABSOLUTELY SURE NOT TO OPEN THE HIGH PRESSURE VALVE OF THE
MANIFOLD GAUGE. SHOULD THE HIGH PRESSURE VALVE BE OPENED, THE HIGH
PRESSURE REFRIGERANT WOULD FLOW BACKWARD, AND THIS MAY CAUSE THE
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER TO BURST.
8. When finished with the refrigerant charging, close the low pressure valve of the manifold gauge
and container valve. 9. Check for refrigerant leaks.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned "ON," the PCM energizes the fuel pump relay for two seconds to
allow the fuel pump to build up pressure. The PCM then checks the engine coolant temperature
(ECT) sensor and the throttle position (TP) sensor to determine the proper air/fuel ratio for starting.
The PCM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the starting mode by adjusting how long the fuel
injectors are energized by pulsing the injectors for very short times.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Output Check
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which
result from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and engine speed changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the the sensor output voltage, the PCM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output
voltage will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. Higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4
- 4.8 volts at wide open throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
barometric pressure, allowing the PCM to make adjustments for different altitudes. The PCM uses
the MAP sensor to diagnose proper operation of the EGR system, in addition to other functions.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Retrieve the PCM broadcast code with the PGM Tester. (From the MISC TESTS menu, select
BROADCAST CODE).
Page 947
1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

*Vehicle Pulls or Drifts, and/or Steering Wheel Is Off-Center (Supersedes 06-068, Vehicle Pulling
or Drifting, dated October 4, 2007, to revise the information marked by asterisks) (Replaces
90-011, Steering Wheel Off-Center Adjustment at PDI)*
*REVISION SUMMARY
The title description was revised.*
SYMPTOM
While driving on a straight road, the vehicle pulls or drifts to the right or left.
BACKGROUND
New tools were developed to help you diagnose and correct a pulling and/or steering wheel
off-center issue. There is a diagnosis worksheet included to take on your test-drive and record your
findings. These values are used to build the 15-digit DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that is required
for your warranty claim. The last step in each repair procedure helps you create the correct code.
In the rare case that you have to repair a vehicle that pulls and has the steering wheel off-center,
use REPAIR PROCEDURE B to file your warranty claim.
For more information, refer to Training Module SSC 44 - Steering Drift or Pull Interactive Service
Bulletin.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Several conditions can cause the vehicle to pull or drift:
^ Wheel alignment
^ Tires
^ Off-center steering wheel (no pulling or drifting, but a customer may believe this is the case)
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Diagnose the problem using the special tools and the worksheet on page 4 that guides you to one
of four repair procedures.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

6. Place the end of the return hose in a container. Have someone start the engine, then pour ATF
into the reservoir while you watch the fluid coming out of the return hose. When the fluid coming
out is the same color as the new fluid, turn off the engine.
7. Reconnect the return hose to the reservoir.
8. Start the engine. Fill the power steering reservoir to the proper level with ATF then turn off the
engine.
9. Use the Smart Cable to reprogram the PCM with the latest software from the June 2001 or later
HONDANET CD-ROM. Refer to Service Bulletin 99-005, Updating the Passport PCM, filed under
Tools.
10. Use the PGM Tester to clear any DTCs.
11. Use the PGM Tester to check the broadcast code. Make sure the broadcast code matches the
one you selected from the CD-ROM.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the

Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair Contamination of Compressor Oil
Contamination of Compressor Oil
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the compressor oil. Even if the compressor runs for
a long period of time (approximately one season), the oil never becomes contaminated as long as
there is nothing wrong with the compressor or its method of use.
Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following conditions:
- The capacity of the oil has increased.
- The oil has changed to red.
- Foreign substances, metal powder, etc., are present in the oil.
If any of these conditions exists, the compressor oil is contaminated. Whenever contaminated
compressor oil is discovered, the receiver/drier must be replaced.

Brake Disc Refinishing Guidelines
(Supersedes 00-088, dated October 6, 2006, to revise the information marked with the black bars)
*REVISION SUMMARY
The requirement to refinish new brake discs was removed.*
American Honda does not allow replacement of brake discs under warranty unless the brake disc
is beyond its service limit for refinishing. If the brake disc is within its service limit, you must refinish
it. Maximum refinishing limits may be found in the Conventional Brakes section of the appropriate
service manual.
*Refinish brake discs only when they are scored or out of specification for runout or parallelism.
See the appropriate service manual for the specifications.*
American Honda requires refinishing of the front brake discs with an on-car brake lathe that mounts
to the steering knuckle. Use of an on-car, steering knuckle- mounted lathe is critical because it
corrects runout of the hub and disc as an assembly. Experience has shown that very small
amounts of runout, not felt as brake pulsation initially, will grow and become noticeable as the discs
are subjected to heat and wear over time and mileage. Two on-car brake lathes are recommended.
The Kwik-Lathe, model number KWY-108000501, is supported with automatic shipments of
adapters for new models, when required. The Accu-turn On-car Brake Lathe, model
ACCHONOCLPKG, is also recommended.
A power driver is required for the 82000 and is highly recommended for all other models. The
Kwik-Lathe power driver model number is KWY-108012005; the Accu-turn lathe includes a power
driver. Here are some advantages of using power drivers:
^ The disc is rotated at the optimum speed for a smooth and consistent cut.
^ There is no need to climb in and out of the vehicle to start and stop the engine or to shift the
transmission.
^ Securing the opposite wheel with a tie-down strap is not required.
^ There is no waiting for the engine to return to idle and no concern about engine speed changes
that can adversely affect brake disc cut and finish.
^ The Traction Control System (TCS) is not involved.
^ Consistent cutting speed increases cutting tool life.
ORDERING INFORMATION
Order brake lathes and power drivers through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program. To place
an order, call or use the fax order form provided in your Honda Tool and Equipment Program
Catalog. Phone lines are open Monday thru Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time. You

Spark Plug: Service and Repair Inspection and Repair
Inspection and Repair
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and therefore its inspection is very important.
- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and insulator of spark plug reduces the engine
performance.
Possible causes:
- Too rich mixture
- Presence of oil in combustion chamber
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where
Page 2290
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference between the volume and the quantity of
air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.
Page 1829
14. While watching the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List, adjust the APPS by turning it
until the values are within the ranges shown at closed throttle and wide open throttle (accelerator
pedal pushed all the way down), then tighten the mounting screws and recheck the values.
^ If all three sensors are within range, go to step 23.
^ If APP Sensor 1 APP Sensor 2, and/or APP Sensor 3 cannot be brought into range, go to step
15.
15. Troubleshoot for an open circuit or a PCM malfunction.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value of 0% or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value of 99%,
an open circuit exists or the PCM is malfunctioning. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, and
repeat step 14.
^ If you don't find a problem, go to step 16.
16. Disconnect the 10 P connector from the APPS.
17. View the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value of 0% or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value of 99%,
go to step 18.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value other than 0%, or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value
other than 99%, a short circuit exists or the PCM is malfunctioning. Repair the circuit or replace the
PCM, and repeat step 14.
18. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
19. Connect the 10 P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Definitions
Air Bag
An inflatable cloth cushion designed to deploy in certain frontal crashes. It supplements the
protection offered by the seat belts by distributing the impact load more evenly over the vehicle
occupant's head and torso.
Asynchronous
Performed in a nonperiodic fashion, (i.e., no defined time or interval).
(B+)
Battery voltage, (B+) The voltage available at the battery at the time of the indicated measurement.
With the key "ON" and the engine not running, the system voltage will likely be between 12 and
12.5 volts. At idle the voltage may be 14 to 16 volts. The voltage could be as low as 10 volts during
engine cranking.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Service Precautions
CONTROL MODULE PRECAUTIONS
The Anti-lock Brake System interfaces directly with the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
which is a control computer that is similar in some regards to the Powertrain Control Module.
These modules are designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation.
However, care must be taken to avoid overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing for opens or
shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the circuits unless instructed to do so by the
appropriate diagnostic procedure. These circuits should only be tested with a high impedance
multimeter (J-39200) or special tools. Power should never be removed or applied to any control
module with the ignition in the "ON" position.
Before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or connectors, always turn the ignition switch
to the "OFF" position.
Page 6827
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

REPAIR PROCEDURE - APPS GROUND
1. Unclamp the air cleaner housing cover, and move it to the side for access to connector C123
(16P BLK).
Page 2647
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Circuit Operation
The engine or powertrain control module (ECM or PCM) receives inputs from the engine sensors
and switches, controlling the functions of the engine. It also turns on the malfunction indicator
"check engine" light whenever a malfunction or abnormal engine performance is detected, and
allows for diagnostic testing through the data link connector (DLC).
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
The electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
chip that is physically soldered within the PCM. The EEPROM contains the program and the
calibration information that the PCM needs to control powertrain operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM is not replaceable. If the PCM is
replaced, the new PCM will need to be programmed. Equipment containing the correct program
and calibration for the vehicle is required to program the PCM.
PCM Components
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels to government mandated standards
while providing excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM monitors numerous engine and
vehicle functions via electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP) sensor, heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S), and vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain engine operations
through the following:
- Fuel injector control
- Ignition control module
- ION sensing module
- Automatic transmission shift functions
- Cruise control
- Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge
- A/C clutch control
PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Page 2636
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse current at normal voltages just like a rectifier diode. At high voltages,
however, a Zener diode allows current to flow in reverse.

Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

3. Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer, and refill with the recommended oil.
NOTE: Under normal conditions, the oil filter should be replaced at every other oil change. Under
severe conditions, the oil filter should be replaced at each oil change.
The numbers in the middle of the API Service label tell you the oil's SAE viscosity or weight. Select
the oil for your vehicle according to this chart:
An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for improved fuel economy and year-round protection
in the vehicle. You may use a 10W - 30 oil if the climate in your area is limited to the temperature
range shown on the chart.
4. Run the engine for more than three minutes, then check for oil leakage.

Irregular and Premature Wear
Tires: Testing and Inspection Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and/or premature wear has many causes. Some of them are incorrect inflation pressures,
lack of tire rotation, poor driving habits or improper wheel alignment. Incorrect inflation is common
cause of tire premature wear.
NOTE: Due to their design, radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly on the
front tires. This makes regular rotation especially necessary. After rotation, be sure to check wheel
nut torque, and set tire pressures.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference between the volume and the quantity of
air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Engine - Oil Recommendation GF-4 Standard
Engine Oil: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Oil Recommendation GF-4 Standard
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Use ONLY New GF-4 Standard Engine Oil
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP:
There's a new performance standard for engine oil: GF-4. It was jointly developed by automotive
and oil experts, and it represents a significant performance upgrade and improvement in fuel
economy. GF-4 engine oils must pass grueling tests totaling over 500 hours. On top of this, Honda
Genuine engine oils are also tested to ensure specific compatibility with Honda vehicles.
GF-4 engine oil is compatible with all current and earlier model year Honda cars and trucks. It also
provides these added benefits:
- Improved oxidation resistance (reduced thickening of the oil)
- Improved deposit protection and better wear protection
- Better low-temperature performance over the life of the oil
- Environmental protection by extending the life of emissions systems
While Honda has upgraded its engine oil to GF-4, other brands may not yet be at this new
standard. Keep in mind you must use Honda Genuine engine oil for all warranty repairs. If you use
some other brand of oil for non-warranty repairs, make sure that oil meets the GF-4 standard. We
recommend you stop using non-GF-4 engine oils and check with your supplier that you're
purchasing GF-4 oil.
Engine oil produced after April 1, 2005, that meets the GF-4 standard, must post this starburst
certification mark on the container. Always look for this mark; some oil container labels won't
specifically refer to GF-4.

^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 3.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 3. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

2. Set the yoke in the arbor press with a piece of tube stock beneath it.
Place a solid plug on the upper bearing assembly and press it through to release the lower bearing
assembly.
3. If the bearing assembly will not pull out by hand after pressing, tap the base of the lug near the
bearing assembly to dislodge it. 4. To remove the opposite bearing, turn the yoke over and
straighten the spider in the open hole. Then carefully press on the end of the spider so the
remaining bearing moves straight out of the bearing spider hole. If the spider or bearing are
cocked, the bearing will score the walls of the spider hole and ruin the yoke.
5. Repeat this procedure on the remaining bearing to remove the spider from the yoke. 6. Make
sure of proper position for reinstallation by applying setting marks, then remove spider.
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear, damage, corrosion or any other abnormal
condition is found through inspection.
NOTE: When any part of the journal assembly (spider, needle roller bearing) requires replacement,
be sure to replace the entire assembly.
Check the following parts for wear, damage, noise or any other abnormal conditions. 1. Spider 2.
Needle roller bearing 3. Yoke 4. Flange 5. Boot
Spider Pin For Wear
Spider pin should be smooth and free from fretting or galling. Visible signs of needle presence is
normal, but wear should not be felt.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor. The fuel tank pressure sensor is a three-wire strain gauge sensor
similar to a common MAP sensor. However, the fuel tank pressure sensor has very different
electrical characteristics due to its pressure differential design. The sensor measures the difference
between the air pressure (or vacuum) in the fuel tank and the outside air pressure.
The sensor mounts at the top of the fuel pump assembly. A three-wire electrical harness connects
it to the PCM. The PCM supplies a five-volt reference voltage and a ground to the sensor. The
sensor will return a voltage between 0.1 and 4.9 volts. When the air pressure in the fuel tank is
equal to the outside air pressure, such as when the fuel cap is removed, the output voltage of the
sensor will be 1.3 to 1.7 volts.
When the air pressure in the fuel tank is 4.5 in. H2O (1.25 kPa),the sensor output voltage will be
0.5 ± 0.2 V. When there is neither vacuum nor pressure in the fuel tank, the sensor voltage will be
1.5 V. At -14 in. H2O (-3.75 kPa), the sensor voltage will be 4.5 ± 0.2 V.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor. The fuel tank pressure sensor is a three-wire strain gauge sensor
similar to a common MAP sensor. However, the fuel tank pressure sensor has very different
electrical characteristics due to its pressure differential design. The sensor measures the difference
between the air pressure (or vacuum) in the fuel tank and the outside air pressure.
The sensor mounts at the top of the fuel pump assembly. A three-wire electrical harness connects
it to the PCM. The PCM supplies a five-volt reference voltage and a ground to the sensor. The
sensor will return a voltage between 0.1 and 4.9 volts. When the air pressure in the fuel tank is
equal to the outside air pressure, such as when the fuel cap is removed, the output voltage of the
sensor will be 1.3 to 1.7 volts.
When the air pressure in the fuel tank is 4.5 in. H2O (1.25 kPa),the sensor output voltage will be
0.5 ± 0.2 V. When there is neither vacuum nor pressure in the fuel tank, the sensor voltage will be
1.5 V. At -14 in. H2O (-3.75 kPa), the sensor voltage will be 4.5 ± 0.2 V.

6. Insert a straightened heavy duty paper clip through the holes in the housing. This will hold the
pin in its compressed position.
NOTE:
A new tensioner pusher comes with its pin held compressed by a special wire. If you install a new
tensioner pusher, save the wire for future use.
7. Install the tensioner pusher:
- Install the lower bolt loosely.
- Push the tensioner pusher up against the tensioner pulley, then install the upper bolt, and torque
it to 25 N.m (15 lb-ft).
- Torque the lower bolt to 25 N.m (15 lb-ft).
8. Remove the wire or paper clip from the tensioner pusher, and remove the binder clips from the
camshaft pulleys.
9. Verify the timing belt is correctly installed:
- Rotate the crankshaft three complete turns.
- Align the crankshaft timing pulley notch with the mark on the oil pump housing.
- Check the green marks on both camshaft pulleys; they should line up with the valve cover timing
marks.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

REPAIR PROCEDURE - APPS GROUND
1. Unclamp the air cleaner housing cover, and move it to the side for access to connector C123
(16P BLK).
Page 5849
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
Page 4521
it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

^ Route the strap around the rear axle, making sure not to route it over any brake lines.
^ Attach the other end of the straps to the transmission mount crossmember.
^ Ratchet the straps to apply enough forward tension on the rear axle to allow the lower trailing link
front mounting bolts to be moved by hand.
5. Using a hammer, knock on the outside of the frame rail around the lower trailing link bracket
area to loosen any rust on the inside of the frame.
6. Using a wire brush and a scraper, remove any loose frame coating, weld spatter, and rust from
the outside frame rail and the lower trailing link frame bracket in the 20-inch (500 mm) section
shown below.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In
Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

memory. Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning the ignition "OFF" and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM for 30 seconds. Turning off the ignition and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM will cause all diagnostic information in the PCM
memory to be cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have to be re-run.
Since the PCM can have a failure which may affect only one circuit, following the diagnostic
procedures will determine which circuit has a problem and where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the PCM connections or the PCM is the cause of a problem, and
the PCM is replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of the following may be the reason:
- There is a problem with the PCM terminal connections. The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
- EEPROM program is not correct for the application. Incorrect components or reprogramming the
PCM with the wrong EEPROM program may cause a malfunction and may or may not set a DTC.
- The problem is intermittent. This means that the problem is not present at the time the system is
being checked. In this case, refer to the Symptom Diagnosis and make a careful physical
inspection of all component and wiring associated with the affected system.
- There is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness. Solenoids and relays are turned "ON" and
"OFF" by the PCM using internal electronic switches called drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil,
or harness will not damage the PCM but will cause the solenoid or relay to be inoperative.

PCM Voltage Description
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches and sensors. It can do this because
resistance in the PCM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate when connected to the
circuit. An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the voltmeter input
impedance is too low. Use a 10-megohm input impedance digital voltmeter (such as J-39200) to
assure accurate voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most components with electronic switches which complete a
ground circuit when turned "ON." These switches are arranged in groups of 4 and 7, called either a
surface-mounted quad driver module (QDM), which can independently control up to 4 output
terminals, or QDMs which can independently control up to 7 outputs. Not all outputs are always
used.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the passenger compartment below the center
console.
The PCM controls the following:
- Fuel metering system.
- Transmission shifting (automatic transmission only).
- Ignition timing.
- On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The PCM constantly observes the information from various sensors. The PCM controls the
Systems that affect vehicle performance. The PCM performs the diagnostic function of the system.
It can recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL (Check Engine lamp), and
store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the technician in
making repairs.
58X Reference PCM Input
58X Reference PCM Input
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses this signal from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to
calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position at all engine speeds. The PCM also uses the pulses
on this circuit to initiate injector pulses. If the PCM receives no pulses on this circuit, DTC P0337
will set. The engine will not start and run without using the 58X reference signal.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V436000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: 2 Investigations found
COMPONENT: Suspension: Rear
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: ?
SUMMARY: Isuzu is recalling certain model year 1998-2002 Isuzu Rodeo and model year 2002
Isuzu Axiom vehicles, and Honda is recalling certain 1998-2002 Honda Passport vehicles, that
were originally sold, or are currently registered, in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware,
Maryland, The District of Columbia, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, and Kentucky. Vehicles that have experienced sustained exposure to
highly corrosive materials used in some jurisdictions for road deicing purposes may experience
excessive corrosion in the vicinity of the forward mounting point bracket for the left or right rear
suspension lower link prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected.
CONSEQUENCE: Excessive corrosion may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link
bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause
a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area. For vehicles in which
little or no corrosion is found, the area will be treated with an anti-corrosive compound. For vehicles
in which corrosion has damaged the rear suspension lower link bracket and affected its connection
to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed. In the rare event the corrosion is so
severe that the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be appropriate, Isuzu and Honda will
develop an appropriate remedy. All inspections and remedies will be provided free of charge for
vehicles that are 10 years old or less. For vehicles older than 10 years, Isuzu will offer a free
remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to an Isuzu service facility, or Honda dealer (as
applicable), dealer within 12 months of when owner notifications were issued. The manufacturer
has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Isuzu owners may contact Isuzu at
1-800-255-6727. Honda owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
NOTES: Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle
Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Description and Operation
ABS Light: Description and Operation
ABS Warning Light
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) have an amber "ABS" warning light in
the instrument panel. The "ABS" warning light will illuminate if a malfunction in the Anti-lock Brake
System is detected by the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU). In case of an electronic
malfunction, the EHCU will turn "ON" the "ABS" warning light and disable the Anti-lock braking
function. The "ABS" light will turn "ON" for approximately three seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position. If the "ABS" light stays "ON" after the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, or comes "ON" and stays "ON" while driving, the Anti-lock Brake System should be
inspected for a malfunction according to the diagnosis procedure.
When Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) trouble occurs to actuate "ABS" warning light, the trouble
code corresponding to the trouble is stored in the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU). Only
ordinary brake is available with ABS being unactuated. Even when "ABS" warning light is actuated,
if the starter switch is set ON after setting it OFF once, the EHCU checks up on the entire system
and, if there is no abnormality, judges ABS to work currently and the warning light is lit normally
even though the trouble code is stored.
NOTE: Illumination of the "ABS" warning light indicates that anti-lock braking is no longer available.
Power assisted braking without anti-lock control is still available.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring Precautions
Wiring Precautions
SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer covering (except the SRS indicator light
circuit).
Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair SRS wiring. If there is an open or damage in SRS wiring,
replace the harness.
Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched, or interfere with other parts.
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean, and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
Page 457
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Service Precaution
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector
pins or soldered components on the circuit board.
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation. Avoid
overloading any circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of
the PCM's circuits unless instructed to do so. These circuits should only be tested using digital
voltmeter J-39200. The PCM should remain connected to the PCM or to a recommended breakout
box.
Information On PCM
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the engine room and is the control center of
the electronic transmission control system. 2. The PCM must be maintained at a temperature
below 85°C (185°F) at all times. This is most essential if the vehicle is put through a paint baking
process. The PCM will become inoperative if its temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F). Therefore, it is
recommended that the PCM be removed or that temporary insulation be placed around the PCM
during the time the vehicle is in a paint oven or other high temperature process.
3. The PCM is designed to process the various inputs and then respond by sending the appropriate
electrical signals to control transmission upshift,
downshift, shift feel and torque converter clutch engagement.
4. The PCM constantly interprets information from the various sensors, and controls the systems
that affect transmission and vehicle performance. By
analyzing operational problems, the PCM is able to perform a diagnostic function by displaying
DTC(s) and aid the technician in making repairs.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

The spark plug affects entire engine performance and therefore its inspection is very important.
- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and insulator of spark plug reduces the engine
performance.
Possible causes:
- Too rich mixture
- Presence of oil in combustion chamber
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:
- Too lean mixture
- Improper heat value

Tires: Service Precautions
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener,
use ONLY the exact part number for that application. Honda will call out those fasteners that
require a replacement after removal. Honda will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. Unless otherwise specified, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints,
greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally,
such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage
the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications.
Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Brake Drum: Service and Repair
Servicing The Brake Drum
Whenever the brake drums are removed, they should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for
cracks, scores, deep grooves and out-of-round.
Cracked, Scored or Grooved Drum A cracked drum is unsafe and must be replaced. Do not
attempt to weld a cracked drum. Smooth any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will cause
excessive brake lining wear, and it will probably be necessary to machine the drum braking
surface. If the brake linings are slightly worn and the drum is grooved, the drum should be polished
with fine emery cloth but should not be machined. At this stage, eliminating all the grooves in the
drum and smoothing the ridges on the lining would require the removal of too much metal and
lining. If left alone, the grooves and ridges match and satisfactory service can be obtained. If brake
linings are to be replaced, a grooved drum should be machined. Using a grooved drum with new
linings will create inefficient braking performance and cause the linings to wear quicker.
Out-Of-Round Drum
An out-of-round drum makes accurate brake shoe adjustment impossible and is likely to cause
excessive wear to other parts of the brake mechanism due to its eccentric action. An out-of-round
drum can also cause severe and irregular tire tread wear as well as a pulsing brake pedal. When
the braking surface of a brake drum exceeds the specification limit of 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) in
out-of-round, the drum should be machined to true up the braking surface. Out-of-round can be
accurately measured with an inside micrometer fitted with proper extension rods. When measuring
a drum for out-of-round and wear, take measurements at the open and closed edges of machines
surfaces and at right angles to each other. Maximum out-of-round: 0.15 mm (0.006 inch)
Machining The Drum If a drum is to be machined, only enough metal should be removed to obtain
a true, smooth braking surface. If a drum does not clean-up when machined to a maximum
diameter, it must be replaced. Removal of more metal will affect dissipation of heat and may cause
distortion of the drum. After refinishing, replace any drum that exceeds a maximum inside diameter
of 296.5 mm (11.673 inch). Do not use a brake drum that is not within the specification. Maximum
inside diameter: 296.5 mm (11.673 inch)

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, there are necessary to relieve the fuel
system pressure before filler and gauge unit servicing the fuel system components.
CAUTION: After relieving the system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing fuel lines or connections. Reduce the chance of personal injury by covering the fuel line
fittings with a shop towel before you disconnect the fittings. The towels will absorb any fuel that
may leak out. When the disconnect is completed, place the towel in an approved container.
1. Remove the fuel cap. 2. Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood relay box. 3. Start the
engine and allow it to stall. 4. Crank the engine for 30 seconds. 5. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.

Other types of switches are controlled by a coil or a solid state circuit. Unless otherwise noted, all
switches are shown in their normal (rest) position, with power off.
Terminal "T"
Page 5381
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Fuel Meter Body: Description and Operation Fuel Metering System Components
Fuel Injector
Fuel Injector
The sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI) fuel injector is a solenoid-operated device controlled by
the PCM. The PCM energizes the solenoid, which opens a valve to allow fuel delivery.
The fuel is injected under pressure in a conical spray pattern at the opening of the intake valve.
Excess fuel not used by the injectors passes through the fuel pressure regulator before being
returned to the fuel tank.
A fuel injector which is stuck partly open will cause a loss of fuel pressure after engine shut down,
causing long crank times.
Fuel Pressure Regulator
Fuel Pressure Regulator
The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated relief valve mounted on the fuel rail with fuel
pump pressure on one side and manifold pressure on the other side. The fuel pressure regulator
maintains the fuel pressure available to the injector at three times barometric pressure adjusted for
engine load. It may be serviced separate.
If the pressure is too low, poor performance and a DTC P0131,DTC P0151,DTC P0171 Or DTC
P1171 will be the result. If the pressure is too high, excessive odor and/or a DTC P0132, DTC
P0152,DTC P0172 will be the result. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis for information on diagnosing
fuel pressure conditions.

PCM Voltage Description
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches and sensors. It can do this because
resistance in the PCM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate when connected to the
circuit. An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the voltmeter input
impedance is too low. Use a 10-megohm input impedance digital voltmeter (such as J-39200) to
assure accurate voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most components with electronic switches which complete a
ground circuit when turned "ON." These switches are arranged in groups of 4 and 7, called either a
surface-mounted quad driver module (QDM), which can independently control up to 4 output
terminals, or QDMs which can independently control up to 7 outputs. Not all outputs are always
used.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the passenger compartment below the center
console.
The PCM controls the following:
- Fuel metering system.
- Transmission shifting (automatic transmission only).
- Ignition timing.
- On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The PCM constantly observes the information from various sensors. The PCM controls the
Systems that affect vehicle performance. The PCM performs the diagnostic function of the system.
It can recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL (Check Engine lamp), and
store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the technician in
making repairs.
58X Reference PCM Input
58X Reference PCM Input
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses this signal from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to
calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position at all engine speeds. The PCM also uses the pulses
on this circuit to initiate injector pulses. If the PCM receives no pulses on this circuit, DTC P0337
will set. The engine will not start and run without using the 58X reference signal.

lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

2. Unfasten C123 from the side of the engine compartment using a 90-degree pick.
3. Disconnect C123, and clean the terminals on both sides of the connector with contact cleaner.
Shake the residue out of the connector. Allow the contact cleaner to evaporate for at least 3
minutes, then reconnect C123.
4. Fasten C123 to the left side of the engine compartment, and reinstall the air cleaner housing
cover.
5. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) clip from the APPS connector.
6. Disconnect the lop connector from the APPS.
7. Clean the terminals of the 10P APPS connector (harness side) with contact cleaner. Shake out
residue from the connector, and allow the contact cleaner to evaporate for at least 3 minutes, then
reconnect it.
8. Use the Smart Cable to reprogram the PCM with the latest software from the June 2001 or later
HONDANET CD-ROM. Refer to Service Bulletin 99-005, Updating the Passport PCM, filed under
Tools.
9. Use the PGM Tester to clear any DTCs.

1. Before adding any leak-detection dye, check to see if there is dye in the system now.
^ Check for a label in the engine compartment indicating that fluorescent leak-detection dye has
been added to the system.
^ Dye may have been added even though no label is present. To confirm this:
- Put on the fluorescence-enhancing glasses, and remove the low-side service port sealing cap.
- Direct the ultraviolet lamp into the valve stem area. If dye has been previously added, the
lubricant traces will have a bright yellow fluorescent glow. You may need to press the port's valve
stem briefly to release some lubricant and dye from the system.
^ If there is no dye in the system, go to step 2.
^ If there is dye in the system, go to step 5. Do not add more dye.
2. Add the dye.
NOTE:
Air and moisture must be evacuated from the universal connect set if it is being used for the first
time, or if it has been stored with the control valve open. If the air and moisture have been
evacuated, go to step 3; otherwise do the following:
(a) Attach the empty dye capsule (provided in the dye kit) to the control valve fitting.
(b) Attach the service valve fitting (provided in the kit) to the empty dye capsule.
(c) Attach the low-side hose of the A/C recovery and charging station, and open the quick coupler's
hand-wheel valve. Then open the control valve (black knob) on the universal connect set.
(d) Following the manufacturer's instructions for your recovery and charging station, evacuate the
universal connect set for approximately 3 minutes.
(e) When evacuation is complete, be sure the set's control valve is closed (finger tight), and
disconnect the NC recovery and charging station.
(f) Remove the service valve fitting and the empty dye capsule from the set, and store them for
future use.
NOTE:
^ Check the refrigerant charge level. There must be enough refrigerant in the system to operate the
A/C compressor and to circulate refrigerant oil.
^ If the refrigerant charge is too low, recover the remaining amount and recharge the system before
adding any dye.
(g) Start the vehicle and operate the A/C system. Follow your A/C refrigerant recovery and
charging station's operating instructions for low-side charging to install the dye.
* NOTE:
Only 0.05 lb (0.02 kg) of refrigerant is needed to push the dye into the A/C system.*
(h) Once the refrigerant charge is programmed, open the control valve on the set to allow the dye
to enter the system.
(i) After the dye capsule clears, allow the low-side of the A/C system to reach its lowest operating
pressure, then quickly close both the service equipment's low-side coupler valve and the control
valve on the set.
(j) Remove the set from the vehicle by releasing its quick coupler. Remove the empty dye capsule
from the service valve fitting. Return the hose, control valve, and service-valve fitting to the storage
case.
* NOTE:
Store the hose with the control valve closed. This will retain a small amount of refrigerant in the
hose so it does not have to be evacuated the next time you use it.*
(k) Fill out an identification label (provided in the kit), and attach it to a location near the A/C charge
label.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

Test Description
IMPORTANT: Be sure to used the same diagnostic test equipment for all measurements.
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Chart.
2. Applying 34 kPa (10 inch Hg) vacuum to the MAP sensor should cause the voltage to be 1.5 2.1 volts less than the voltage at step 1. Upon
applying vacuum to the sensor, the change in voltage should be instantaneous. A slow voltage
change indicates a faulty sensor.
3. Check the vacuum hose to the sensor for leaking or restriction, Be sure that no other vacuum
devices are connected to the MAP hose.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the electrical connector remains securely fastened.
4. Disconnect the sensor from the bracket. Twist the sensor with your hand to check for an
intermittent connection. Output changes greater than 0.10
volt indicate a bad sensor.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Jump Starting with an Auxiliary (Booster) Battery
CAUTION: Never push or tow the vehicle in an attempt to start it. Serious damage to the emission
system as well as other vehicle parts will result. Treat both the discharged battery and the booster
battery with great care when using jumper cables. Carefully follow the jump starting procedure,
being careful at all times to avoid sparking.
WARNING: FAILURE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE COULD
RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING:
1. Serous personal injury, particularly to your eyes. 2. Property damage from a battery explosion,
battery acid, or an electrical fire. 3. Damage to the electronic components of one or both vehicles
particularly.
Never expose the battery to an open flame or electrical spark. Gas generated by the battery may
catch fire or explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before working around the battery. Protect your eyes
by wearing an approved set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with your eyes or skin.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with fabrics or painted surfaces.
Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin, fabric, or a painted surface, immediately
and thoroughly rinse the affected area with clean tap water. Never allow metal tools or jumper
cables to come in contact with the positive battery terminal, or any other metal surface of the
vehicle. This will protect against a short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of reach of young children.
Jump Starting Procedure

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Condenser Fan: Description and Operation
Condenser Fan
How the Circuit Works
With the engine running, battery voltage is applied to the A/C switch. When you press the A/C
switch button or the air selector knob is in the FOOT/DEFROST or DEFROST position, battery
voltage is applied to the A/C triple pressure switch. If the A/C pressure is above 1471.5 ± 98.1 kPa
( 213.3 ± 14.2 psi) the switch will close and apply voltage to the coil side of the condenser tan
relay, which is continually grounded. Once the relay is energized, the contacts close, allowing
battery voltage from the COND. FAN fuse to be applied to the condenser fan. The motor, being
grounded continually, is energized, and the fan comes on.

PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Service Precaution
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector
pins or soldered components on the circuit board.
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation. Avoid
overloading any circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of
the PCM's circuits unless instructed to do so. These circuits should only be tested using digital
voltmeter J-39200. The PCM should remain connected to the PCM or to a recommended breakout
box.
Information On PCM
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the engine room and is the control center of
the electronic transmission control system. 2. The PCM must be maintained at a temperature
below 85°C (185°F) at all times. This is most essential if the vehicle is put through a paint baking
process. The PCM will become inoperative if its temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F). Therefore, it is
recommended that the PCM be removed or that temporary insulation be placed around the PCM
during the time the vehicle is in a paint oven or other high temperature process.
3. The PCM is designed to process the various inputs and then respond by sending the appropriate
electrical signals to control transmission upshift,
downshift, shift feel and torque converter clutch engagement.
4. The PCM constantly interprets information from the various sensors, and controls the systems
that affect transmission and vehicle performance. By
analyzing operational problems, the PCM is able to perform a diagnostic function by displaying
DTC(s) and aid the technician in making repairs.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The PCM determines the speed of the vehicle by converting a plusing voltage signal from the
vehicle speed sensor (VSS) into miles per hour. The PCM uses this signal to operate the cruise
control, speedometer, and the TCC and shift solenoids in the transmission. For more information
on the TCC and shift solenoids, refer to 4L30-E Automatic Transmission (Transmission Control
System Diagnosis).
How the Circuit Works
The VSS generates a signal for the speedometer. The speedometer consists of its own speed
sensor, an ammeter (to move the needle), stepper motor (to turn the odometer), and a driving
circuit (printed circuit board).
The VSS is mounted to the transmission. The transmission pinion shaft generates four pulses per
one rotation. The rate at which the pulses are generated indicates the vehicle speed. The speed
sensor in the speedometer uses the pulses to control how far and fast the needle moves and to
send vehicle speed information (4096 pulses per mile) to the ECM or PCM.

14. While watching the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List, adjust the APPS by turning it
until the values are within the ranges shown at closed throttle and wide open throttle (accelerator
pedal pushed all the way down), then tighten the mounting screws and recheck the values.
^ If all three sensors are within range, go to step 23.
^ If APP Sensor 1 APP Sensor 2, and/or APP Sensor 3 cannot be brought into range, go to step
15.
15. Troubleshoot for an open circuit or a PCM malfunction.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value of 0% or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value of 99%,
an open circuit exists or the PCM is malfunctioning. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, and
repeat step 14.
^ If you don't find a problem, go to step 16.
16. Disconnect the 10 P connector from the APPS.
17. View the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value of 0% or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value of 99%,
go to step 18.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value other than 0%, or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value
other than 99%, a short circuit exists or the PCM is malfunctioning. Repair the circuit or replace the
PCM, and repeat step 14.
18. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
19. Connect the 10 P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.

Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

11. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 3.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 3. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
12. Turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the PGM Tester.*
DISCLAIMER
Page 7143
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 903
^ Loosen the front subframe bolts. See the applicable service manual for more information.
NOTE:
The front wheels are being viewed from the rear of the vehicle.
^ Depending which way you need to shift the subframe, insert a pry bar between the subframe and
body at both the front and rear positions of the subframe.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage the vehicle. You could bend and damage the frame and/or body if you
apply too much pressure.
^ Press on both pry bars to shift the subframe. It will move only a few millimeters. This should
adjust the camber about 0.2-0.5°.
^ While holding the subframe in place, have an assistant torque the subframe bolts to their proper
torque.
Front Camber Adjustment, Strut Suspension
^ Raise the vehicle, and remove the front tires.
^ Loosen the damper pinch bolts and the flange nuts.
^ Adjust the camber by moving the bottom of the damper within the range of the damper pinch bolt
free play.
NOTE:
Some vehicles have special pinch bolts that allow more adjustment. For more information, refer to
the parts catalog.
^ Tighten the damper pinch bolts to the specified torque.
^ Reinstall the front wheels and lower the vehicle. Bounce the front of the vehicle several times to
stabilize the suspension.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Flushing Brake Hydraulic System
FLUSHING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is recommended that the entire hydraulic system be thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid
whenever new parts are installed in the hydraulic system. Approximately one quart of fluid is
required to flush the hydraulic system. The system must be flushed if there is any doubt as to the
grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used which contains the slightest trace of mineral
oil. All rubber parts that have been subjected to a contaminated fluid must be replaced.

Alignment: Description and Operation
General Description
"Front End Alignment" refers to the angular relationship between the front wheels, the front
suspension attaching parts and the ground. Proper front end alignment must be maintained in
order to insure efficient steering, good directional stability and to prevent abnormal tire wear. The
most important factors of front end alignment are wheel toe-in, wheel camber and axle caster.
Camber:
This illustration shows view from the front of the vehicle. Camber is the vertical tilting inward or
outward of the front wheels. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+).
When the wheels tilt inward at the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt measured in
degrees from the vertical is called the camber angle (1). If camber is extreme or unequal between
the wheels, improper steering and excessive tire wear will result. Negative camber causes wear on
the inside of the tire, while positive camber causes wear to the outside.
Caster:
This illustration shows view from the side of the vehicle. Caster (1) is the vertical tilting of the wheel
axis either forward or backward (when viewed from the side of the vehicle). A backward tilt is
positive (+) and a forward tilt is negative (-). On the short and long arm type suspension you cannot
see a caster angle without a special instrument, but if you look straight down from the top of the
upper control arm to the ground, the ball joints do not line up (fore and aft) when a caster angle
other than 0 degree is present. With a positive angle, the lower ball joint would be slightly ahead
(toward the front of the vehicle) of the upper ball joint center line.

Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor. The fuel level sensor is an important input to the PCM for the enhanced EVAP
system diagnostic. The PCM needs fuel level information to know the volume of fuel in the tank.
The fuel level affects the rate of change of air pressure in the EVAP system. Several of the
enhanced EVAP system diagnostic sub-tests are dependent upon correct fuel level information.
The diagnostic will not run when the tank is less than 15 % or more than 85 % full. Be sure to
diagnose any Fuel Level Sensor DTCs first, as they can cause other DTCs to set.

Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

1. Before adding any leak-detection dye, check to see if there is dye in the system now.
^ Check for a label in the engine compartment indicating that fluorescent leak-detection dye has
been added to the system.
^ Dye may have been added even though no label is present. To confirm this:
- Put on the fluorescence-enhancing glasses, and remove the low-side service port sealing cap.
- Direct the ultraviolet lamp into the valve stem area. If dye has been previously added, the
lubricant traces will have a bright yellow fluorescent glow. You may need to press the port's valve
stem briefly to release some lubricant and dye from the system.
^ If there is no dye in the system, go to step 2.
^ If there is dye in the system, go to step 5. Do not add more dye.
2. Add the dye.
NOTE:
Air and moisture must be evacuated from the universal connect set if it is being used for the first
time, or if it has been stored with the control valve open. If the air and moisture have been
evacuated, go to step 3; otherwise do the following:
(a) Attach the empty dye capsule (provided in the dye kit) to the control valve fitting.
(b) Attach the service valve fitting (provided in the kit) to the empty dye capsule.
(c) Attach the low-side hose of the A/C recovery and charging station, and open the quick coupler's
hand-wheel valve. Then open the control valve (black knob) on the universal connect set.
(d) Following the manufacturer's instructions for your recovery and charging station, evacuate the
universal connect set for approximately 3 minutes.
(e) When evacuation is complete, be sure the set's control valve is closed (finger tight), and
disconnect the NC recovery and charging station.
(f) Remove the service valve fitting and the empty dye capsule from the set, and store them for
future use.
NOTE:
^ Check the refrigerant charge level. There must be enough refrigerant in the system to operate the
A/C compressor and to circulate refrigerant oil.
^ If the refrigerant charge is too low, recover the remaining amount and recharge the system before
adding any dye.
(g) Start the vehicle and operate the A/C system. Follow your A/C refrigerant recovery and
charging station's operating instructions for low-side charging to install the dye.
* NOTE:
Only 0.05 lb (0.02 kg) of refrigerant is needed to push the dye into the A/C system.*
(h) Once the refrigerant charge is programmed, open the control valve on the set to allow the dye
to enter the system.
(i) After the dye capsule clears, allow the low-side of the A/C system to reach its lowest operating
pressure, then quickly close both the service equipment's low-side coupler valve and the control
valve on the set.
(j) Remove the set from the vehicle by releasing its quick coupler. Remove the empty dye capsule
from the service valve fitting. Return the hose, control valve, and service-valve fitting to the storage
case.
* NOTE:
Store the hose with the control valve closed. This will retain a small amount of refrigerant in the
hose so it does not have to be evacuated the next time you use it.*
(k) Fill out an identification label (provided in the kit), and attach it to a location near the A/C charge
label.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.
Page 2409
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

7. Use the Smart Cable to reprogram the PCM with the latest software from the June 2001 or later
HONDANET CD-ROM. Refer to Service Bulletin 99-005, Updating the Passport PCM, filed under
Tools.
8. Use the PGM Tester to clear any DTCs.
9. Use the PGM Tester to check the broadcast code. Make sure the broadcast code matches the
one you selected from the CD-ROM.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

If there is no photo number below or beside a component name or a connector, ground, or terminal
number, look up that name or number in the appropriate Connector Identification Chart. The chart

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

until the values are within the ranges shown at closed pushed all the way down), then tighten the
throttle and wide open throttle (accelerator pedal mounting screws and recheck the values.
^ If all three sensors are within range, go to step 12.
^ If APP Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and/or APP Sensor 3 cannot be brought into range, go to step 4.
4. Troubleshoot for an open circuit or a PCM malfunction.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value of 0% or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value of 99%,
an open circuit exists or the PCM is malfunctioning. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, and
repeat step 3.
^ If you don't find a problem, go to step 5.
5. Disconnect the 10P connector from the APPS.
6. View the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value of 0% or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value of 99%,
go to step 7.
^ If APP Sensor 1 has a value other than 0%, or APP Sensor 2 and/or APP Sensor 3 have a value
other than 99%, a short circuit exists or the PCM is malfunctioning. Repair the circuit or replace the

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not disassemble an airbag. It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it
cannot be repaired or reused. For temporary storage of the airbag during service, please observe
the following precautions.
- Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up. Never put anything on the removed airbag.
- Keep free from any oil, grease, detergent, or water to prevent damage to the airbag assembly.
- Store the removed airbag on a secure, flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding
200 °F/93 °C).
- Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags, such as measuring resistance.
- Do not position yourself in front of the airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or
replacement.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Function Check
Use a Tech 2 to check the TP sensor output voltage at closed throttle.
- The voltage should be TP1 about 0.4 V, TP2 about 4.6 V and TP3 about 4.6 V.
- If the reading is abnormal value, check the throttle shaft to see if it is binding.
Irregular and Premature Wear
Tires: Testing and Inspection Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and/or premature wear has many causes. Some of them are incorrect inflation pressures,
lack of tire rotation, poor driving habits or improper wheel alignment. Incorrect inflation is common
cause of tire premature wear.
NOTE: Due to their design, radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly on the
front tires. This makes regular rotation especially necessary. After rotation, be sure to check wheel
nut torque, and set tire pressures.
Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body. The PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal also changes. At a
closed throttle position, the output of the TP1 sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be above 92 % (Tech 2
Display).
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
PCM thinks the throttle is moving.

Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).

Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body. The PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal also changes. At a
closed throttle position, the output of the TP1 sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be above 92 % (Tech 2
Display).
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
PCM thinks the throttle is moving.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Inspection and Repair
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and therefore its inspection is very important.
- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and insulator of spark plug reduces the engine
performance.
Possible causes:
- Too rich mixture
- Presence of oil in combustion chamber
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:
- Too lean mixture
- Improper heat value

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Rectifier Assembly
1. Measure the resistance between each diode terminal and aluminum diode fin in forward and
reverse directions with the connection of the tester
leads switched. The diodes are normal if resistance is nearly zero ohms in one direction and is
infinitely high in the other direction.
2. If a diode has no resistance or equal resistance in both directions, it is defective and should be
replaced together with the holder.
IC Regulator Assembly
Connect a variable resistor, two 12 V batteries, a fixed resistor, and a voltmeter to the IC regulator
as shown in illustration.
a. Measuring equipment specifications
1. Fixed resistor (R1) : 10 Ohms/3 W 2. Variable resistor (Rv) : 0 - 300 Ohms/12 W 3. Batteries
(BAT1, BAT2) : 12 V (2 Batteries) 4. DC voltmeter: 0 - 50 V/0.5 steps (4 Check points)
b. Measuring procedure
1. Measure the voltage "V1" across the first battery (BAT1). If the reading is between 10 and 13
volts, the battery is normal. 2. Measure the voltage "V3" across both the batteries (BAT1, BAT2). If
the reading is between 20 and 26 bolts, the batteries are normal. 3. Gradually increase the
resistance of the variable resistor from zero. Measure the voltage "V2" (the voltage across the F
and E terminals).
Check to see that the voltage across "V1" changes at this time. If there is no change, the voltage
regulator is faulty and must be replaced.
4. Measure the voltage at "V4" (the voltage across the variable resistor center tap and terminal E
with the variable resistor resistance held
constant). The measured voltage should be within the specified (14.4 ± 0.3 volts) limits. If it is not,
the regulator must be replaced.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Airbag Handling and Storage
Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not disassemble an airbag. It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it
cannot be repaired or reused. For temporary storage of the airbag during service, please observe
the following precautions.
- Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up. Never put anything on the removed airbag.
- Keep free from any oil, grease, detergent, or water to prevent damage to the airbag assembly.
- Store the removed airbag on a secure, flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding
200 °F/93 °C).
- Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags, such as measuring resistance.
- Do not position yourself in front of the airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or
replacement.
Page 7268
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
Brake Booster
This booster is a tandem vacuum unit with a diaphragm effective diameter 205 mm + 230 mm. In
normal operating mode, with the service brakes in the released position, the tandem vacuum
booster operates with vacuum on both sides of its diaphragms. When the brakes are applied, air at
atmospheric pressure is admitted to both sides of the diaphragm to provide the power assist. When
the service brake is released, the atmospheric air is shut off from both sides of the diaphragm. The
air is then drawn from the booster through the vacuum check valve to the vacuum source.
CAUTION: 1. If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed
all or part of the brake system. 2. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. 3.
The vacuum booster is not repairable and must be replaced as complete assembly.

NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.
The steering wheel offset gauge is a sticker that attaches to the steering wheel and the steering
column cover. Place the sticker on the steering wheel when the steering wheel is straight. When
you test-drive the vehicle, you can read how many millimeters the steering wheel is off-center.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is pulling, repairing the pull may correct the steering wheel offset.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Description and Operation Rear
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side to side as it rotates on the spindle. This could
also be referred to as "rotor wobble". This movement causes the piston to be knocked back into its
bore. This results in additional pedal travel and a vibration during braking.
Parallelism
Parallelism is the measurement of thickness of the rotor at four or more points around the
circumference of the rotor. All measurement must be made at 22 mm (0.87 inch) from the edge of
the rotor. The rotor thickness must not vary more than 0.010 mm (0.0004 inch) from point to point.
Maximum parallelism: 0.010 mm (0.0004 inch)

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
System Components
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU), three Wheel Speed Sensors, Warning Light, and
G-sensor.
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) The Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) consists of
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control circuits, fault detector, and a fail-safe. The signal received
from each sensor activates the hydraulic unit accordingly and cancels the ABS to return to normal
braking if a malfunction occurs in the ABS system. The EHCU has a self-diagnosing function which
can indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis. The EHCU is mounted on the engine compartment
rear right side. It consists of a Motor, Plunger Pump, Solenoid Valves. Solenoid Valves: Reduces or
holds the caliper fluid pressure for each front disc brake or both rear disc brakes according to the
signal sent from the EHCU. Reservoir: Temporarily holds the brake fluid that returns from the front
and rear disc brake caliper so that pressure of front disc brake caliper can be reduced smoothly.
Plunger Pump: Feeds the brake fluid held in the reservoir to the master cylinder. Motor: Drives the
pump according to the signal from EHCU. Check Valve: Controls the brake fluid flow.
Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System
This procedure has been updated by TSB Manual Update # 01-016 dated January 30, 2001.
BLEEDING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A bleeding operation is necessary to remove air from the hydraulic brake system whenever air is
introduced into the hydraulic system. It may be necessary to bleed the hydraulic system at all four
brakes if air has been introduced through a low fluid level or by disconnecting brake pipes at the
master cylinder. If a brake pipe is disconnected at one wheel, only that wheel cylinder/caliper
needs to be bled. If the pipes are disconnected at any fitting located between the master cylinder
and brakes, then the brake system served by the disconnected pipe must be bled. 1. For 4-Wheel
Antilock Brake System (ABS) equipped vehicle, be sure to remove the ABS main fuse 60A located
at the relay and fuse box before
bleeding air. If you attempt to bleed air without removing the main fuse, air cannot be let out
thoroughly, and this may cause damage to the hydraulic unit. After bleeding air, be sure to replace
the ABS main fuse back to its original position.
2. Set the parking brake completely, then start the engine.
NOTE: The vacuum booster will be damaged if the bleeding operation is performed with the engine
off.
NOTE: To avoid trapping air bubbles in the ABS hydraulic unit while bleeding the brakes, the
hydraulic unit must be tilted forward at a 15-degree angle or greater. Before bleeding, check the
angle of the ABS hydraulic unit with an angle locator level. If needed, raise the rear of the vehicle to
get the proper angle.
The angle locator level (P/N SUN-YA328A) is available through the Honda Tool and Equipment
Program.
3. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap. 4. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid.
Keep the reservoir at least half full during the air bleeding operation. 5. Always use new brake fluid
for replenishment. 6. When replenishing the brake fluid reservoir, carefully pour in the brake fluid to
prevent air bubbles from entering the brake system. When the
master cylinder is replaced or overhauled, first bleed the air from the master cylinder, then from
each wheel cylinder and caliper following the procedures described.
Bleeding the Master Cylinder 7. Disconnect the rear wheel brake pipe (1) from the master cylinder.
Check the fluid level and replenish as necessary. If replenished, leave the

Compressor Clutch: Testing and Inspection Compressor Clutch Circuit
A/C Clutch Control Circuit Diagnosis
Circuit Description
When air conditioning and blower fan are selected, and if the system has a sufficient refrigerant
charge, a 12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request input of the powertrain control module
(PCM). The A/C request signal may be temporarily canceled during system operation by the
electronic thermostat in the evaporator case. When the A/C request signal is received by the PCM,
the PCM supplies a ground from the compressor clutch relay if the engine operating conditions are
within acceptable ranges. With the A/C compressor relay energized, voltage is supplied to the
compressor clutch coil.
The PCM will enable the compressor clutch to engage whenever A/C has been selected with the
engine running, unless any of the following conditions are present:
- The throttle is greater than 90 %.
- The ignition voltage is below 10.5 volts.
- The engine speed is greater than 4500 RPM for 5 seconds or 5400 RPM.
- The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is greater than 125 °C (257 °F).
- The intake air temperature (IAT) is less than 5 °C (41 °F).
- The power steering pressure switch signals a high pressure condition.
Diagnostic Aids
To diagnose an the intermittent fault, check for following conditions:
- Poor connection at the PCM-Inspect connections for backed-out terminals, improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
- Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to OK, observe
the A/C clutch while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the A/C. A sudden clutch
malfunction will indicate the source of the intermittent fault.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal used by the powertrain control module
(PCM) to calculate the ignition sequence. The CKP sensor initiates the 58X reference pulses which
the PCM uses to calculate RPM and crankshaft position.
Refer to Electronic Ignition System for additional information.

2. Compare the retrieved code with the listed codes.
^ If the code is in the list, go to step 3.
^ If the code is not in the list, the PCM has already been updated. Troubleshoot other causes for
the detonation.
NOTE:
Since the Smart Cable may need to be cleared from a previous PCM update or the Smart Cable
firmware may need to be reprogrammed, always begin each PCM update at the iN workstation.
3. Update the PCM software with the Smart Cable. For instructions, refer to Service Bulletin
99-005.
NOTE:
Make sure you select the most recent broadcast code from the list on the iN screen that applies to
the model year, transmission type, and emission level. This code is not necessarily at the top of the
list since the most recent code is the last one in the alphabetical sequence, letter by letter.
4. Use the PGM Tester to clear any DTCs set during programming.
5. Retrieve the broadcast code. Make sure it does not match any of the codes in the list in step 2

Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair Refinishing Brake Rotors
Front
Replacing Brake Rotors
When installing new brake rotors, do not refinish the surfaces. These parts are at the correct level
of surface finish.
Refinishing Brake Rotors
Accurate control of the rotor tolerances is necessary for proper performance of the disc brakes.
Machining of the rotor should be done only with precision equipment. All brake rotors have a
minimum thickness dimension cast into them. This dimension is the minimum wear dimension and
not a refinish dimension. The minimum wear dimension is 24.60 mm (0.969 inch). The minimum
refinish dimension is 24.97 mm (0.983 inch). When refinishing rotors, always use sharp cutting
tools or bits. Dull or worn tools leave a poor surface finish which will affect initial braking
performance. Vibration dampening attachments should always be used when refinishing braking
surfaces. These attachments eliminate tool chatter and will result in better surface finish.
After refinishing, replace any rotor that does not meet the minimum thickness of 24.97 mm (0.983
inch). Do not use a brake rotor that exceeds the manufacturers specifications. Minimum wear
dimension: 24.60 mm (0.969 inch) Refinish dimension: 24.97 mm (0.983 inch)

Engine Oil Pressure: Testing and Inspection
Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, gasoline or water in the engine oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil. b. Check the viscosity of the oil. c. Change the oil if the viscosity is
outside the specified standard.
2. Check the engine oil level.
The level should fall somewhere between the "ADD" and the "FULL" marks on the oil level dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the "ADD" mark on the oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added.
3. Remove the oil pressure unit. 4. Install an oil pressure gauge. 5. Start the engine and allow the
engine to reach normal operating temperature (About 80°C) 6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be: 392 - 550 kPa (56.9 - 80.4 psi) at 3000 rpm.
7. Stop the engine. 8. Remove the oil pressure gauges. 9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Key: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Distinct Of Circuit By Wire Base Color
All wires have color-coded insulation. Wires belonging to a system's main harness will have a
single color. Wires belonging to a system's sub-circuits will have a colored stripe. Striped wires use
the codes found in the chart to show wire size and colors.
Abbreviations are used to indicate wire color within a circuit diagram.
How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where

2. Compare the retrieved code with the listed codes.
^ If the code is in the list, go to step 3.
^ If the code is not in the list, the PCM has already been updated. Troubleshoot other causes for
the detonation.
NOTE:
Since the Smart Cable may need to be cleared from a previous PCM update or the Smart Cable
firmware may need to be reprogrammed, always begin each PCM update at the iN workstation.
3. Update the PCM software with the Smart Cable. For instructions, refer to Service Bulletin
99-005.
NOTE:
Make sure you select the most recent broadcast code from the list on the iN screen that applies to
the model year, transmission type, and emission level. This code is not necessarily at the top of the
list since the most recent code is the last one in the alphabetical sequence, letter by letter.
4. Use the PGM Tester to clear any DTCs set during programming.
5. Retrieve the broadcast code. Make sure it does not match any of the codes in the list in step 2
(indicating the PCM has been updated) and that it
applies to the model year, transmission type, and emission level for the vehicle. The broadcast
code should match a code in the list below.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.
Page 6894
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Service Precautions
Jump Starting: Service Precautions
Jump Starting
Jump Starting with an Auxiliary (Booster) Battery
CAUTION: Never push or tow the vehicle in an attempt to start it. Serious damage to the emission
system as well as other vehicle parts will result. Treat both the discharged battery and the booster
battery with great care when using jumper cables. Carefully follow the jump starting procedure,
being careful at all times to avoid sparking.
WARNING: FAILURE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE COULD
RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING:
1. Serous personal injury, particularly to your eyes. 2. Property damage from a battery explosion,
battery acid, or an electrical fire. 3. Damage to the electronic components of one or both vehicles
particularly.
Never expose the battery to an open flame or electrical spark. Gas generated by the battery may
catch fire or explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before working around the battery. Protect your eyes
by wearing an approved set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with your eyes or skin.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with fabrics or painted surfaces.
Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin, fabric, or a painted surface, immediately
and thoroughly rinse the affected area with clean tap water. Never allow metal tools or jumper
cables to come in contact with the positive battery terminal, or any other metal surface of the
vehicle. This will protect against a short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of reach of young children.

The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the
SRS coil assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the "AIR BAG" warning lamp in the
instrument cluster. The SDM, SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag assembly,
passenger air bag assembly and connector wire make up the deployment loops. The function of
the deployment loops is to supply current through air bag assembly, which will cause deployment
of the air bags in the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30 degrees off the centerline
of the vehicle. The air bag assemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy when the SDM
detects vehicle velocity changes severe enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal.
The electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and then compared to a value stored in
memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the air bag assembly deploying the air bags.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Output Check
Circuit Description
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which
result from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and engine speed changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The powertrain control module (PCM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the the sensor output voltage, the PCM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output
voltage will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. Higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4
- 4.8 volts at wide open throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
barometric pressure, allowing the PCM to make adjustments for different altitudes. The PCM uses
the MAP sensor to diagnose proper operation of the EGR system, in addition to other functions.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /

Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit
Fuel Pump Electrical Circuit
When the key is first turned "ON," the PCM energizes the fuel pump relay for two seconds to build
up the fuel pressure quickly. If the engine is not started within two seconds, the PCM shuts the fuel
pump off and waits until the engine is cranked. When the engine is cranked and the 58X crankshaft
position signal has been detected by the PCM, the PCM supplies 12 volts to the fuel pump relay to
energize the electric in-tank fuel pump.
An inoperative fuel pump will cause a "no-start" condition. A fuel pump which does not provide
enough pressure will result in poor performance.
Fuel Rail
Fuel Rail
The fuel rail is mounted to the top of the engine and distributes fuel to the individual injectors. Fuel
is delivered to the fuel inlet tube of the fuel rail by the fuel lines. The fuel goes through the fuel rail
to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator maintains a constant fuel pressure at the
injectors. Remaining fuel is then returned to the fuel tank.
Throttle Body Unit
Throttle Body Unit
The throttle body has a throttle plate to control the amount of air delivered to the engine. The TP
sensor are also mounted on the throttle body. Vacuum ports located behind the throttle plate
provide the vacuum signals needed by various components.
Engine coolant is directed through a coolant cavity in the throttle body to warm the throttle valve
and to prevent icing.
Page 4146
Brake Warning Indicator: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The brake system warning light goes on to alert the driver that the parking brake is applied or that
the brake fluid is low. It also lights as a bulb test when the engine is cranked.
Parking Brake Switch
With the ignition switch in ON or START, battery voltage is applied through fuse 11 to the brake
system warning light. When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake switch closes and
provides a ground for the light. The brake system warning light goes on to remind the driver that
the parking brake is applied.
Brake Fluid Level Switch
With the ignition switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied to fuse 11 and to the brake
system warning light. If the brake fluid is low, the brake fluid level switch closes and provides a
ground for the light. The brake system warning light comes on to warn the driver of low brake fluid
level in the brake master cylinder. (Note: check brake pad wear before adding fluid.)
Bulb Check
With the ignition switch in START, the brake system warning light is turned on for bulb check.
During bulb check, the light is grounded through the alternator. See Indicators for further details.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Fuse Block Circuit-2 (V6)
Diagrams
Locations
Timing Marks and Indicators: Locations
IGNITION IS NOT ADJUSTABLE
Ignition timing is done by the electronic ignition (EI) that directly fires the spark plugs from ignition
coils through spark plug wires without using a distributor. A pair of ignition coils for the cylinders
having different phases by 36O° (No.1 and No.4,No.2 and No.5,No.3 and No.6) are fired
simultaneously.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less energy to fire its ignition plug, energy from the
ignition coils can be utilized to fire the mating cylinder on compression stroke. After additional 36O°
rotation, respective cylinder strokes are reversed.
The EI consists of six ignition coils,ignition control module, crank angle sensor, powertrain control
module (PCM) and other components. The ignition coils are connected with the PCM by means of
a 32 pin connector.
The ignition control module turns on/off the primary circuit of ignition coils, and also it controls the
ignition timing at the engine speed below 538 rpm.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates the crank angle sensor which then sends
information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil to the PCM. Further, the EI
employs ignition control (IC) to control similar to a distributor system.
By receiving signals such as crank position,engine speed, water temperature and Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP), the PCM controls the ignition timing.

and uneven wear on the edges of the tread. 4. Tire rim bruises and rupture. 5. Tire cord breakage.
6. High tire temperatures. 7. Reduced handling. 8. Reduced fuel economy.
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause: 1. Uneven braking. 2. Steering lead. 3. Reduced
handling. 4. Swerve on acceleration.
Radial Tire Waddle
Radial Tire Waddle
Waddle is side-to-side movement at the front and/or rear of the car. It can be caused by the steel
belt not being straight within the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the tire or wheel. It is most
noticeable at low speed, about 8 to 48 km/h (5 to 30 mph). It may also cause rough ride at 80 to
113 km/h (50 to 70 mph). The car can be road tested to see which end of the car has the faulty tire.
If the tire causing the waddle is on the rear, the rear end of the car will "waddle". From the driver's
seat, it feels as if someone is pushing on the side of the car. If the faulty tire is on the front, the
waddle is more easily seen. The front sheet metal appears to be moving back and forth. It feels as
if the driver's seat is the pivot point in the car. Another more time-consuming method of determining
the faulty tire is substituting tire and wheel assemblies that are known to be good. Follow these
steps: 1. Drive the car to determine if the waddle is coming from the front or rear. 2. Install tire and
wheel assemblies known to be good (from a similar car) in place of those on the end of the car
which is waddling. If the waddle
cannot be isolated to front or rear, start with the rear tires.
3. Road test again. If improvement is noted, install the original tire and wheel assemblies one at a
time until the faulty tire is found. If no
improvement is noted, install tires known to be good in place of all four. Then, install the originals
one at a time until the faulty tire is found.
Radial Tire Lead/Pull
Radial Tire Lead/Pull
"Lead/Pull" is vehicle deviation from a straight path, on a level road with no pressure on the
steering wheel. Lead is usually caused by: 1. Poorly manufactured radial tires. 2. Uneven brake
adjustment. 3. Wheel alignment. The way in which a tire is built can produce lead in a car. An
example of this is placement of the belt. Off-center belts on radial tires can cause the tire to
develop a side force while rolling straight down the road and the tire will tend to roll like a cone. The
"Radial Tire Lead/Pull Correction" chart should be used to make sure that front wheel alignment is
not mistaken for tire lead. Rear tires will not cause lead/pull.

The SDM is connected to the SRS wiring harness by a 24 - pin connector. This harness connector
uses a shorting clip across certain terminals in the contact area. This shorting clip connects the
"AIR BAG" warning lamp to ground when the SDM harness connector is disconnected or
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) is not inserted even If completely connected. This will cause
the "AIR BAG" warning lamp to come "ON" steady whenever the ignition switch is at the ON or
START positions with the SDM disconnected.

Adjustments
Valve Clearance: Adjustments
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
NOTE:
- Valve adjustment can be done either on-vehicle or off-vehicle.
- To measure exhaust valves, you need a 0.25 mm and a 0.35 mm feeler gauge.
- To measure intake valves, you need a 0.23 mm and a 0.33 mm feeler gauge. Since these are odd
sizes, you may need to stack two gauges (for example,
0.11 mm and 0.12 mm to make 0.23 mm). If you do this, make sure the gauges are clean and in
good condition. If you're not sure the gauge stack is correct, measure it with a micrometer.
On-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Remove the cylinder head covers.
4. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +/- 0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +/- 0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
5. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
6. If you need to replace a valve shim, turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) until the cam lobe for the
valve points away from the valve.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Alarm/Immobilizer Control Unit: Diagnostic Aids
Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Page 2749
6. Remove the connector position assurance (CPA) clip from the APPS connector.
7. Disconnect the 10 P connector from the APPS.
8. Remove the bolts, the APPS, the spacer, and the accelerator link from the accelerator pedal
assembly.
9. Separate the spacer from the APPS. Clean the grease off the spacer and the accelerator link
with a clean shop towel.
10. Clean the terminals of the 10 P APPS connector (harness side) with contact cleaner. Shake the
residue out of the connector, and allow the contact cleaner to evaporate for at least 3 minutes
before reconnecting the connector.
11. Install a new APPS, the spacer, and the accelerator link onto the accelerator pedal assembly.
Leave the mounting screws loose so the sensor can be adjusted.
12. Connect the 10 P connector to the new APPS, and lock the connector in place with the CPA.
13. Connect the PGM Tester to the data link connector (DLC), and turn the ignition switch to ON
(II).

Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows
the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and Components."
This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. If Power Distribution
shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other
circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

11. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 3.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 3. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
12. Turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the PGM Tester.*

Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse current at normal voltages just like a rectifier diode. At high voltages,
however, a Zener diode allows current to flow in reverse.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Deployed Air Bag Assembly
"You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface
of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products
of the chemical reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium
Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of
about 1 % (each) of the total particulate."
Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure
During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly.
Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be deployed. Alive air bag assembly
must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS. THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL. DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND I OR LOCAL
LAW.
In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle".
Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly.
After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid
particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride,
Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1 % (each) of the
total particulate.
(Passenger air bag assembly) Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your
hands and eyes from possible irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly.
After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and
by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

Testing and Inspection
Electronic Throttle Actuator: Testing and Inspection
Electric Throttle Control (ETC) System Check
Circuit Description
- The powertrain control module (PCM) controls engine speed by adjusting the position of the
throttle control valve (DC motor). The throttle motor is a DC motor driven by one coil. The PCM
applies current to the DC motor coil in PWM (%) to adjust the throttle valve into a passage in the
throttle body to allow air flow. This method allows highly accurate control of engine speed and
quick response to changes in engine load.
- The acceleration position (AP1) sensor circuit provides a voltage signal relative to acceleration
pedal angle.
The acceleration pedal angle will vary about 13 % at idle position to about 87 % at wide open
throttle(WOT).
APS signal is used to determine which DC motor will adjust throttle position.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Tires: Testing and Inspection
Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and Premature Wear
Irregular and/or premature wear has many causes. Some of them are incorrect inflation pressures,
lack of tire rotation, poor driving habits or improper wheel alignment. Incorrect inflation is common
cause of tire premature wear.
NOTE: Due to their design, radial tires tend to wear faster in the shoulder area, particularly on the
front tires. This makes regular rotation especially necessary. After rotation, be sure to check wheel
nut torque, and set tire pressures.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread Wear Indicators
The original equipment tires have built-in tread wear indicators (l) to show when tires need
replacement. These indicators may appear as wide bands. When the indicators appear in two or
more grooves at three locations, tire replacement is recommended.
Diagnosis List
Diagnosis List
If the conditions are noted, rotation is required. 1. Front tire wear is different from rear. 2. Uneven
wear exists across the tread of any tire. 3. Left and right front tire wear is unequal. 4. Left and right
rear tire wear is unequal.
If the conditions. are noted, check the wheel alignment. 1. Left and right front tire wear is unequal.
2. Uneven wear exists across the tread of any tire. 3. Front tire treads have scuffed appearance
with "feather" edges on one side of tread ribs or blocks. 4. There is cupping, flat spotting etc.

Tires: Description and Operation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Replacement wheels or tires must be equivalent to the originals in load capacity, specified
dimension and mounting configuration. Improper size or type may affect bearing life, brake
performance, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance and tire clearance to
the body and chassis. All model are equipped with metric sized tubeless steel belted radial tires.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase premature and uneven
wear.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
The original equipment tires have built-in tread wear indicators (1) to show when tires need
replacement. These indicators may appear as wide bands. When the indicators appear in two or
more grooves at three locations, tire replacement is recommended.

Adjustments
Valve Clearance: Adjustments
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
NOTE:
- Valve adjustment can be done either on-vehicle or off-vehicle.
- To measure exhaust valves, you need a 0.25 mm and a 0.35 mm feeler gauge.
- To measure intake valves, you need a 0.23 mm and a 0.33 mm feeler gauge. Since these are odd
sizes, you may need to stack two gauges (for example,
0.11 mm and 0.12 mm to make 0.23 mm). If you do this, make sure the gauges are clean and in
good condition. If you're not sure the gauge stack is correct, measure it with a micrometer.
On-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Remove the cylinder head covers.
4. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +/- 0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +/- 0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
5. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
6. If you need to replace a valve shim, turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) until the cam lobe for the
valve points away from the valve.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation
Compressor Oil
Oil Specification
The HFC-134a system requires a synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system
requires a mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the
model of compressor.
Always use HFC-134a Vane Rotary Type Compressor Oil (AIPDN Part No.2-90188-301-0)
Handling of Oil
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc. Do not mix with other oil. The water
content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately.
(HFC-134a Vane Rotary Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.) The compressor oil must
be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor Oil Check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with the refrigerant. Whenever replacing any
component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the original
amount of oil.
Oil Capacity
Capacity total in system: 150 cc (5.0 fl.oz) Compressor (Service parts) charging amount: 150 cc

DIAGNOSTIC WORKSHEET
REPAIR PROCEDURE A
Locations
Timing Marks and Indicators: Locations
IGNITION IS NOT ADJUSTABLE
Ignition timing is done by the electronic ignition (EI) that directly fires the spark plugs from ignition
coils through spark plug wires without using a distributor. A pair of ignition coils for the cylinders
having different phases by 36O° (No.1 and No.4,No.2 and No.5,No.3 and No.6) are fired
simultaneously.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less energy to fire its ignition plug, energy from the
ignition coils can be utilized to fire the mating cylinder on compression stroke. After additional 36O°
rotation, respective cylinder strokes are reversed.
The EI consists of six ignition coils,ignition control module, crank angle sensor, powertrain control
module (PCM) and other components. The ignition coils are connected with the PCM by means of
a 32 pin connector.
The ignition control module turns on/off the primary circuit of ignition coils, and also it controls the
ignition timing at the engine speed below 538 rpm.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates the crank angle sensor which then sends
information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil to the PCM. Further, the EI
employs ignition control (IC) to control similar to a distributor system.
By receiving signals such as crank position,engine speed, water temperature and Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP), the PCM controls the ignition timing.

Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

*Vehicle Pulls or Drifts, and/or Steering Wheel Is Off-Center (Supersedes 06-068, Vehicle Pulling
or Drifting, dated October 4, 2007, to revise the information marked by asterisks) (Replaces
90-011, Steering Wheel Off-Center Adjustment at PDI)*
*REVISION SUMMARY
The title description was revised.*
SYMPTOM
While driving on a straight road, the vehicle pulls or drifts to the right or left.
BACKGROUND
New tools were developed to help you diagnose and correct a pulling and/or steering wheel
off-center issue. There is a diagnosis worksheet included to take on your test-drive and record your
findings. These values are used to build the 15-digit DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that is required
for your warranty claim. The last step in each repair procedure helps you create the correct code.
In the rare case that you have to repair a vehicle that pulls and has the steering wheel off-center,
use REPAIR PROCEDURE B to file your warranty claim.
For more information, refer to Training Module SSC 44 - Steering Drift or Pull Interactive Service
Bulletin.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Several conditions can cause the vehicle to pull or drift:
^ Wheel alignment
^ Tires
^ Off-center steering wheel (no pulling or drifting, but a customer may believe this is the case)
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Diagnose the problem using the special tools and the worksheet on page 4 that guides you to one
of four repair procedures.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

- The battery is fully charged.
- The ignition is ON."
- The Vehicle Interface Module cable connection at the DLC is secure.
2. Program the PCM using the latest software matching the vehicle. Refer to up-to-date Techline
equipment user's instructions. 3. If the PCM fails to program, proceed as follows:
- Ensure that all PCM connections are OK.
- Check the Techline equipment for the latest software version.
- Attempt to program the PCM. If the PCM still cannot be programmed properly, replace the PCM.
The replacement PCM must be programmed.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Radial Tire Waddle
Radial Tire Waddle
Waddle is side-to-side movement at the front and/or rear of the car. It can be caused by the steel
belt not being straight within the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the tire or wheel. It is most
noticeable at low speed, about 8 to 48 km/h (5 to 30 mph). It may also cause rough ride at 80 to
113 km/h (50 to 70 mph). The car can be road tested to see which end of the car has the faulty tire.
If the tire causing the waddle is on the rear, the rear end of the car will "waddle". From the driver's
seat, it feels as if someone is pushing on the side of the car. If the faulty tire is on the front, the
waddle is more easily seen. The front sheet metal appears to be moving back and forth. It feels as
if the driver's seat is the pivot point in the car. Another more time-consuming method of determining
the faulty tire is substituting tire and wheel assemblies that are known to be good. Follow these
steps: 1. Drive the car to determine if the waddle is coming from the front or rear. 2. Install tire and
wheel assemblies known to be good (from a similar car) in place of those on the end of the car
which is waddling. If the waddle
cannot be isolated to front or rear, start with the rear tires.
3. Road test again. If improvement is noted, install the original tire and wheel assemblies one at a
time until the faulty tire is found. If no
improvement is noted, install tires known to be good in place of all four. Then, install the originals
one at a time until the faulty tire is found.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 7266
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Electrical - Battery Replacement Precautions
Battery Cable: Technical Service Bulletins Electrical - Battery Replacement Precautions
Replacing a Battery? Don't Disconnect the Cables
With the
Engine Running
When replacing a battery, many service techs disconnect the battery cables with the engine
running to keep the data alive in volatile memory. This practice worked fine back in the day when
vehicles were pretty much a box on wheels, but with so many of today's vehicles sporting a
impressive array of cool, high tech hardware, it's not recommended. Here's why:
^ The battery works as a capacitor to prevent sudden swings in voltage. With the battery cables
disconnected, the alternator voltage regulator tries to
stabilize the system voltage, but it can only do so by turning the alternator on and off.
^ When solenoids or relays are turned on and of{ they produce a very high voltage spike that
travels through the 12-volt system. This voltage spike can
fry sensitive solid state components or corrupt the data that's stored in volatile memory for such
components as the gauge control module, the radio, and the various control units.
The best way to keep data alive in volatile memory when replacing a battery is to hook up a Honda
Computer Memory Saver to the 16P data link connector (DLC). This portable tool works as a
secondary 12-volt source. It saves you the hassle of writing down your customer's audio presets,
resetting the clock, or even doing the idle learn procedure.

Camshaft: Service and Repair Camshaft Subgear Preloading, Gear Timing & Camshaft Install.
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
CAMSHAFT SUBGEAR PRELOADING, GEAR TIMING, AND CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION
NOTE:
- The V6 engine has a "non-interference" design. This means the valves never contact the pistons,
even when the valves or camshafts are not correctly timed, or even if a valve is fully open and its
piston is at top dead center (TDC).
- The ratio between the camshaft drive gear and the camshaft gears is 1.33 to 1. This means the
timing dots on a correctly timed camshaft will only align with the dots on the camshaft drive gears
every 4th turn of the camshaft pulley.
- The left and right intake camshafts are different. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear, the
left intake camshaft is marked "LI," and it has dual timing dots; the right intake camshaft is marked
"RI," and it has a single timing dot.
- The left and right exhaust camshafts are the same. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear,
both camshafts are marked "LE" and "RE and both have dual timing dots and a single dot.
1. Before you install the camshafts, preload the subgears (preloading must be done whenever you
remove the bearing caps from a camshaft):
- Make sure the spring is installed between the camshaft gear and the subgear.
- With the camshaft held in a soft-jawed vise, attach the gear spring lever (T/N J-42656) to the
subgear, then turn the subgear until its threaded hole lines up with the hole in the camshaft gear.
- Lock the subgear to the camshaft gear with a 5 x 0.5 mm bolt through either side of the gear hole.
- Preload the subgears on the other camshafts.

Fuel Meter Body: Description and Operation Fuel Metering System Purpose
Fuel Metering System Purpose
The basic function of the air/fuel metering system is to control the air/fuel delivery to the engine.
Fuel is delivered to the engine by individual fuel injectors mounted in the intake manifold near each
intake valve.
The main control sensor is the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) located in the exhaust system. The
HO2S tells the PCM how much oxygen is in the exhaust gas. The PCM changes the air/fuel ratio to
the engine by controlling the amount of time that fuel injector is "ON." The best mixture to minimize
exhaust emissions is 14.7 parts of air to 1 part of gasoline by weight, which allows the catalytic
converter to operate most efficiently. Because of the constant measuring and adjusting of the
air/fuel ratio, the fuel injection system is called a "closed loop" system.
The PCM monitors signals from several sensors in order to determine the fuel needs of the engine.
Fuel is delivered under one of several conditions called "modes." All modes are controlled by the
PCM.

Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Timing Belt: Service and Repair Camshaft Subgear Preloading, Gear Timing & Camshaft Install.
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
CAMSHAFT SUBGEAR PRELOADING, GEAR TIMING, AND CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION
NOTE:
- The V6 engine has a "non-interference" design. This means the valves never contact the pistons,
even when the valves or camshafts are not correctly timed, or even if a valve is fully open and its
piston is at top dead center (TDC).
- The ratio between the camshaft drive gear and the camshaft gears is 1.33 to 1. This means the
timing dots on a correctly timed camshaft will only align with the dots on the camshaft drive gears
every 4th turn of the camshaft pulley.
- The left and right intake camshafts are different. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear, the
left intake camshaft is marked "LI," and it has dual timing dots; the right intake camshaft is marked
"RI," and it has a single timing dot.
- The left and right exhaust camshafts are the same. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear,
both camshafts are marked "LE" and "RE and both have dual timing dots and a single dot.
1. Before you install the camshafts, preload the subgears (preloading must be done whenever you
remove the bearing caps from a camshaft):
- Make sure the spring is installed between the camshaft gear and the subgear.
- With the camshaft held in a soft-jawed vise, attach the gear spring lever (T/N J-42656) to the
subgear, then turn the subgear until its threaded hole lines up with the hole in the camshaft gear.
- Lock the subgear to the camshaft gear with a 5 x 0.5 mm bolt through either side of the gear hole.
- Preload the subgears on the other camshafts.

Air Bag Control Module: Vehicle Damage Warnings
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93 °C (200 °C). 2. Air bag
assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used If they have been
dropped from a height of 100 centimeters
(3.28 feet).
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the
SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chant
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code. 5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must
be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect pants replacement.

A/T - ATF Cooler Cleaner Information
Transmission Cooler: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - ATF Cooler Cleaner Information
Use Worm-Style Clamps With the ATF Cooler Cleaner
The spring-style clamps used on the ATF cooler lines are made to hold the cooler lines to the ATF
cooler under normal operating conditions. The ATF Cooler Cleaner (P/N GHTTTCF6H) uses high
pressure (100 psi) to do its job. With the pump motor running, the spring-style clamps can walk off
or disconnect, and you'll wind up with a real mess to clean up in your shop.
In March of this year, we sent each Honda dealership a pair of high-quality worm-style clamps to
replace the original spring-style clamps. These clamps were part of a cooler cleaner update kit, and
securely hold the cooler line in place. They've got a blue cap for easy identification. Need some
more? Just call G-TFC, Inc.

5. Install selector lever knob and cover. 6. Install center console. 7. Install rear console. 8. Install
lower cluster assembly. 9. Install transfer control lever knob (4x4).
10. Connect negative (-) battery cable. 11. After installation, make sure that the selector lever
operates normally, and that each selector position is properly indicated. (The red mark shows
through the window.)
Page 3000
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Page 735
20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Three-way catalytic converters are used to control emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The catalyst within the converters promotes a
chemical reaction. This reaction oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas and converts
them into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx by converting it
to nitrogen. The PCM can monitor this process using the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2
heated oxygen sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the Bank 2 HO2S 1 sensors produce an output
signal which indicates the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas entering the three-way
catalytic converter. The Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors produce an output signal
which indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. This indicates the catalyst's ability to
efficiently convert exhaust gases. If the catalyst is operating efficiently, the Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the
Bank 2 HO2S 1 signals will be more active than the signals produced by the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and
the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors.
The catalyst monitor sensors operate the same as the fuel control sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 2
and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors main function is catalyst monitoring, but they also have a limited
role in fuel control. If a sensor output indicates a voltage either above or below the 450 mV bias
voltage for an extended period of time, the PCM will make a slight adjustment to fuel trim to ensure
that fuel delivery is correct for catalyst monitoring.
A problem with the Bank 1 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0137, P0138, or P0140, depending
on the specific condition. A problem with the Bank 2 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0157,
P0158, or P0160, depending on the specific condition. A fault in the heated oxygen sensor heater
element or its ignition feed or ground will result in lower sensor response. This may cause incorrect
catalyst monitor diagnostic results.
Engine - Oil Recommendation GF-4 Standard
Engine Oil: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Oil Recommendation GF-4 Standard
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Use ONLY New GF-4 Standard Engine Oil
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP:
There's a new performance standard for engine oil: GF-4. It was jointly developed by automotive
and oil experts, and it represents a significant performance upgrade and improvement in fuel
economy. GF-4 engine oils must pass grueling tests totaling over 500 hours. On top of this, Honda
Genuine engine oils are also tested to ensure specific compatibility with Honda vehicles.
GF-4 engine oil is compatible with all current and earlier model year Honda cars and trucks. It also
provides these added benefits:
- Improved oxidation resistance (reduced thickening of the oil)
- Improved deposit protection and better wear protection
- Better low-temperature performance over the life of the oil
- Environmental protection by extending the life of emissions systems
While Honda has upgraded its engine oil to GF-4, other brands may not yet be at this new
standard. Keep in mind you must use Honda Genuine engine oil for all warranty repairs. If you use
some other brand of oil for non-warranty repairs, make sure that oil meets the GF-4 standard. We
recommend you stop using non-GF-4 engine oils and check with your supplier that you're
purchasing GF-4 oil.
Engine oil produced after April 1, 2005, that meets the GF-4 standard, must post this starburst
certification mark on the container. Always look for this mark; some oil container labels won't
specifically refer to GF-4.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The PCM determines the speed of the vehicle by converting a plusing voltage signal from the
vehicle speed sensor (VSS) into miles per hour. The PCM uses this signal to operate the cruise
control, speedometer, and the TCC and shift solenoids in the transmission. For more information
on the TCC and shift solenoids, refer to 4L30-E Automatic Transmission (Transmission Control
System Diagnosis).
How the Circuit Works
The VSS generates a signal for the speedometer. The speedometer consists of its own speed
sensor, an ammeter (to move the needle), stepper motor (to turn the odometer), and a driving
circuit (printed circuit board).
The VSS is mounted to the transmission. The transmission pinion shaft generates four pulses per
one rotation. The rate at which the pulses are generated indicates the vehicle speed. The speed
sensor in the speedometer uses the pulses to control how far and fast the needle moves and to
send vehicle speed information (4096 pulses per mile) to the ECM or PCM.

DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). SDM MOUNTING BRACKET BOLTS MUST BE
CAREFULLY TORQUED TO ASSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE SRS SHOULD ONLY BE
CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE WHEN IT IS INSTALLED SECURELY IN THE VEHICLE.
THE SDM MAY SUDDENLY DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING: PROPER OPERATION OF THE SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM)
REQUIRES THE SDM TO BE SECURELY INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ARROW ON
THE SENSOR MUST BE POINTING TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.
SDM is specifically calibrated and is keyed to the SDM location SRS wiring harness. Caution
should be used to ensure proper location of the SDM. The keying of the SDM to its location and
wiring harness connectors should never be modified in the field.
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition
switch is ON (II), or at least for three minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the
area around the SRS unit and the side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and
cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit. After a collision in which
the side airbag was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the side where the side airbag
deployed and the SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side impact sensors. If there is
any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact sensors.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact sensors.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, and disconnect the connectors from
the SRS unit.
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts
torqued to 9.8 Nm (1.0 kg.m, 7.2 lb.ft)
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors and keep them away from dust.
Store the SRS unit and the side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104°F / 40°C) and dry (less
than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

Wheels: Service Precautions
Service Precaution
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener,
use ONLY the exact part number for that application. HONDA will call out those fasteners that
require a replacement after removal. HONDA will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings
(Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces.
Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and
specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.

6. Test-drive the vehicle to make sure it no longer pulls. If the steering wheel is now off-center by
more than 2 mm, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE C.
7. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
REPAIR PROCEDURE C
1. Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it stops.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and count the number of revolutions until it stops.
^ Divide the number of revolutions in half, and turn the steering wheel until it is centered. For
example, if it takes four revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, then two turns is
centered.
^ If the steering wheel is off-center by a large amount (20 mm or more), it may not be centered on
the steering column shaft. Reinstall the steering wheel before going to step 2.
2. Place the vehicle on a lift, turn the steering wheel until it is centered, and then raise the vehicle.
3. Adjust the tie-rods. Use your measurements from question 13 of the test-drive to make your

Vacuum Brake Booster: Service and Repair Vacuum Booster Assembly
Removal
1. Before removing the vacuum booster assembly, disconnect and remove the brake pipes. 2.
Remove master cylinder.
CAUTION: When removing the master cylinder from the vacuum booster, be sure to get rid of the internal
negative pressure of the vacuum booster (by, for instance, disconnecting the vacuum hose) in
advance.
- If any negative pressure remains in the vacuum booster, the piston may possibly come out when
the master cylinder is being removed, letting the brake fluid run out.
- Do not hold the piston while removing the master cylinder, the piston can be easily pulled out.
- Outside surface of the piston is the surface on which seals are to slide. Care should be taken to
keep the surface free of cuts and dents.
3. Remove vacuum hose 4. Disconnect the yoke clevis from the brake pedal 5. Remove vacuum
booster fixing nut 6. Remove vacuum booster

Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor. The fuel level sensor is an important input to the PCM for the enhanced EVAP
system diagnostic. The PCM needs fuel level information to know the volume of fuel in the tank.
The fuel level affects the rate of change of air pressure in the EVAP system. Several of the
enhanced EVAP system diagnostic sub-tests are dependent upon correct fuel level information.
The diagnostic will not run when the tank is less than 15 % or more than 85 % full. Be sure to
diagnose any Fuel Level Sensor DTCs first, as they can cause other DTCs to set.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

NOTE:
This article applies to all A/C-equipped Honda models that use a heater valve cable. Got a vehicle
in your shop that blows cold air from the heater or warm air from the A/C? The problem could just
be the heater valve cable has slipped off the heater valve arm.
There's a real easy fix for this problem. Slip the heater valve cable back onto the heater valve arm.
Then cut yourself a 10 mm length of 3.5 mm vacuum hose (P/N 95005-35008-10M, H/C 2325058),
and slide it onto the arm. This holds the cable on the arm nice and snug so it won't slip off.

The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the
vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

Catalytic Converter: Technical Service Bulletins Catalytic Converter - Rotten Egg Smell
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Rotten Egg Smell? Could Be the Catalytic Converter
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Are customers complaining of a rotten egg smell, but you can't find anything wrong
with their vehicles to account for it [there's no DTC(s) set, no driveability problems reported,
nothing damaged or broken]? Then it could well be coming from the catalytic converter. That smell
is a release of built up hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from the reaction of organic sulfur compounds in the
gasoline with the catalyst in the converter.
Almost all gasoline contains some amount of organic sulfur compounds, and that amount varies by
region. The more sulfur there is in the gasoline, the more H2S is built up and released by the
catalytic converter, so the stronger the smell. In California, where low-sulfur gasoline is actually
required by state law, sulfur smell complaints are few and far between. The folks at the
Environmental Protection Agency have issued a requirement for the phasing-in of low-sulfur
gasoline nationwide between 2004 and 2006. This low-sulfur gasoline should go a long way toward
making complaints of rotten egg smell a thing of the past.

Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body. The PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal also changes. At a
closed throttle position, the output of the TP1 sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be above 92 % (Tech 2
Display).
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
PCM thinks the throttle is moving.

Gas Tank - Fuel Pump/Sending Unit Installation Tip
Fuel Gauge Sender: Technical Service Bulletins Gas Tank - Fuel Pump/Sending Unit Installation
Tip
SOURCE: Honda Service News March 2003
TITLE: Installing an In-Tank Fuel Pump/Sending Unit? Don't Forget a New Base Gasket, Locknut,
and Fuel Line Retainers
APPLIES TO: See Models Listed In Illustration
SERVICE TIP: Whenever you install an in-tank fuel pump/sending unit into a plastic fuel tank, the
S/M tells you to install a new base gasket. But did you know you also need to replace the locknut
and the fuel line retainers as well? Make a note in the Fuel Supply System subsection of the
appropriate S/Ms to also replace the locknut and the fuel line retainers. Then follow this handy
chart to order the appropriate parts.
Install the new gasket on the fuel tank side, not on the fuel pump/sending unit side; this ensures
that the gasket doesn't get pinched or rolled. If you don't install the fuel pump/sending unit
correctly, the MIL could come on with an EVAP control system leakage DTC set. The gasket and
the locknut are currently available in Honda parts stock under separate part numbers. But soon,
they'll be packaged under a single part number. The fuel sending unit, gasket, and locknut will also
be packaged together under a single part number. The gasket and the locknut will then be
discontinued as separate part numbers.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

How to Identify Wiring Color-Coded Insulation
Wire Color
Wire Color Coding
Page 2395
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
Page 1013
17. Recheck the valve clearance using the Go/No-Go method (see step 4).
- If the clearance is OK, repeat steps 6 thru 17 for the other valves needing adjustment.
- If the clearance is still incorrect, repeat steps 6 through 17 until it is correct, then adjust the
remaining valves.
18. Turn the camshaft pulleys until the single timing dot (right cylinder bank) and dual timing dots
(left cylinder bank) align with the single timing
dots on the camshaft drive gears.
19. Install the cylinder head covers with new gaskets. Torque the cover bolts to 9 N.m (6.5 lb-ft).
Off-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
4. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
5. Rotate the camshaft pulley until the dual timing dots (exhaust camshaft) and single timing dot
(intake camshaft) align with the timing dots on the
camshaft drive gear.

Distinct Of Circuit By Wire Base Color
All wires have color-coded insulation. Wires belonging to a system's main harness will have a
single color. Wires belonging to a system's sub-circuits will have a colored stripe. Striped wires use
the codes found in the chart to show wire size and colors.
Abbreviations are used to indicate wire color within a circuit diagram.
How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where

^ Loosen the front subframe bolts. See the applicable service manual for more information.
NOTE:
The front wheels are being viewed from the rear of the vehicle.
^ Depending which way you need to shift the subframe, insert a pry bar between the subframe and
body at both the front and rear positions of the subframe.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage the vehicle. You could bend and damage the frame and/or body if you
apply too much pressure.
^ Press on both pry bars to shift the subframe. It will move only a few millimeters. This should
adjust the camber about 0.2-0.5°.
^ While holding the subframe in place, have an assistant torque the subframe bolts to their proper
torque.
Front Camber Adjustment, Strut Suspension
^ Raise the vehicle, and remove the front tires.
^ Loosen the damper pinch bolts and the flange nuts.
^ Adjust the camber by moving the bottom of the damper within the range of the damper pinch bolt
free play.
NOTE:
Some vehicles have special pinch bolts that allow more adjustment. For more information, refer to
the parts catalog.
^ Tighten the damper pinch bolts to the specified torque.
^ Reinstall the front wheels and lower the vehicle. Bounce the front of the vehicle several times to
stabilize the suspension.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

7. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
REPAIR PROCEDURE C
1. Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it stops.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and count the number of revolutions until it stops.
^ Divide the number of revolutions in half, and turn the steering wheel until it is centered. For
example, if it takes four revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, then two turns is
centered.
^ If the steering wheel is off-center by a large amount (20 mm or more), it may not be centered on
the steering column shaft. Reinstall the steering wheel before going to step 2.
2. Place the vehicle on a lift, turn the steering wheel until it is centered, and then raise the vehicle.
3. Adjust the tie-rods. Use your measurements from question 13 of the test-drive to make your

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

Service Precaution
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener,
use ONLY the exact part number for that application. HONDA will call out those fasteners that
require a replacement after removal. HONDA will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings
(Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces.
Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and
specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value
based on temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes a low resistance of
70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F). The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through resistors
in the PCM and measures the voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 85 °C (185 °F). It then stabilizes when the thermostat opens. If the
engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine coolant sensor
circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or P1115.

one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring Precautions
Wiring Precautions
SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer covering (except the SRS indicator light
circuit).
Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair SRS wiring. If there is an open or damage in SRS wiring,
replace the harness.
Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched, or interfere with other parts.
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean, and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation Precautions
Transmission Speed Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation
Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 105
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference between the volume and the quantity of
air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

General Precautions
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions General Precautions
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.

10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the SRS deployment harness. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A
vehicle battery is suggested.
11. Connect the driver air bag assembly to the pigtail adapter on the Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) deployment harness. Deployment harness
shall remain shorted and not be connected to a power source until the air bag is to be deployed.
The driver air bag assembly will immediately deploy the air bag when a power source is connected
to it.
NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated into the driver air bag assembly connector.
Failure to fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting bar located in the driver air bag
assembly connector functioning (shorted) and may result in non deployment of the driver air bag
assembly.
12. Verify that the area around the driver air bag assembly is clear of all people and loose or
flammable objects. 13. Verify that the driver air bag assembly is firmly and properly in J-41434. 14.
Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the driver air bag. The deployment
will be accompanied by a substantial noise
which may startle the uninformed.
15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS deployment harness.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the driver air bag.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED
TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO
IT. CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD
ALWAYS BE THE LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.
16. Connect the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) deployment harness wires to the power
source to immediately deploy the driver air bag.
Recommended application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.
17. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the power source. 18. Short the two SRS
deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other. 19. In the
unlikely event that the driver air bag assembly did not deploy after following these procedures,
proceed immediately with Steps 24 through
26. If the driver air bag assembly did deploy, proceed with Steps 20 through 23.
20. Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed driver
air bag assembly. After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may
contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical
reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium
Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1 % (each)
of the total particulate.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR MODULE TO COOL BEFORE
HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY
RESULT IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY. AFTER A DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN

Adhesive Labels or Protective Disc Covers on CDs or
DVDs:
A Big Taboo
NOTE:
This article applies to all Honda models with a factory- or dealer-installed CD/DVD player or
changer.
We can't emphasize this enough: Never put adhesive labels or protective disc covers on
recordable CDs or DVDs to be used in automotive CD/DVD players or changers. Here's why:
^ Recordable CDs and DVDs are actually thicker than their pre-recorded brethern. Automotive
players and changers use rollers to draw the disc into the
unit. The added thickness of an adhesive label or a protective disc cover can cause the disc to jam
when it's loaded into or ejected from the unit.
^ CD/DVD players or changers are exposed to high temperatures inside the vehicle. High
temperature can cause the label adhesive to soften. This can
cause the label to curl on the edges and even form bubbles. Curled edges can catch on the rollers
and bubbles add thickness to the disc. Either one can cause the disc to jam.
To cut down on customer-caused damage, all '05 and later 0/Ms include this notice:
Do not use CDs with adhesive labels. The label can curl up and cause the CD to jam in the unit.
Anytime a service customer comes in with a loading or ejecting problem for a CD/DVD player or
changer, ask if he or she used any discs with adhesive labels or protective disc covers. If the
answer is yes, contact your DPSM for possible goodwill assistance. If the answer is no, then
replace the audio unit under normal warranty.

Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

Canister Purge Control Valve: Testing and Inspection
Evaporative (EVAP) Emissions Canister Purge Valve Check
Circuit Description
Canister purge is controlled by a solenoid valve that allows manifold vacuum to purge the canister.
The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies a ground to energize the solenoid valve (purge
"ON"). The EVAP purge solenoid control is turned "ON" and "OFF" several times a second. The
duty cycle (pulse width or "ON" time) is determined by engine operating conditions including load,
throttle position, coolant temperature and ambient temperature. The duty cycle is calculated by the
PCM and the purge solenoid is enabled when the appropriate conditions have been met:
- The engine run time after start is more than 60 seconds.
- The engine coolant temperature is above 30 °C (86 °F).
- The fuel control system is operating in the closed-loop mode.
Diagnostic Aids
- Make a visual check of vacuum hoses.
- Check the throttle body for possible cracked.
- Check the malfunction indicator lamp for a possible mechanical problem.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference between the volume and the quantity of
air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Page 2997
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each)
of the total particulate. (Passenger air bag assembly) Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety
glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible irritation and heat when handling the
deployed air bag assembly. After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air
bag may contain a powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate
the bag as it inflates) and by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to
lye soap) is produced as a by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then
quickly reacts with atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after
deployment.
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY TO COOL BEFORE
HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE HOT DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES
COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
After an air bag assembly has been deployed, the metal canister and surrounding areas of the air
bag assembly will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of the air bag assembly for about 30
minutes after deployment. If the deployed air bag assembly must be moved before it is cool, wear
gloves and handle by the air bag or trim cover.
31. Short the driver deployment harness wires by twisting together one end from each. Repeat this
procedure for the passenger deployment harness. 32. Carefully remove drop cloth from vehicle and
clean off any fragments or discard drop cloth entirely. 33. Disconnect driver deployment harness
and passenger deployment harness from vehicle and discard. 34. In the unlikely event that either
or both of the air bag assemblies did not deploy after following these procedures, proceed
immediately with Steps
36 through 37. If the air bag assembly deployed, proceed to step 35.
35. With both air bags deployed, the vehicle may be scrapped in the same manner as a non - SRS
equipped vehicle.
NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the unlikely event that the air bag assembly did
not deploy after following these procedures.
36. Remove the undeployed air bag assembly (s) from the vehicle. For driver air bag assembly
refer to in the "Passenger Air Bag Assembly Removal".
WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE
BAG AND TRIM COVER UP, AWAY FROM THE SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A
FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT
OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY.
37. Temporarily store the air bag assembly with the air bag opening facing up, away from the
surface upon which it rests.
Deploying Airbags/Tensioner (Outside Vehicle)
Deployment of a live (undeployed) airbag assembly for disposal should not take place in the
vehicle. This includes vehicles that needs replacement airbag assembly. Disposal of a
malfunctioning air bag assembly is subjected to a retention period. Proper service procedures must
be followed when performing live (undeployed) airbag deployment in the shop floor or open area
live (undeployed) airbag deployment. Safety glasses and gloves must always be worn during live
(undeployed) airbag deployment until the deployed airbag assembly has been properly disposed of
or an undeployed airbag assembly is shipped. Before performing the procedures you should be
familiar with servicing the SRS and with proper handling of the air bag assembly. Procedures
should be read fully before they are performed.

when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module)
WARNING: DURING SERVICE PROCEDURES, BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING A SDM.
NEVER STRIKE OR JAR THE SDM. NEVER POWER UP THE SRS WHEN THE SDM IS NOT
RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. ALL SDM AND MOUNTING BRACKET FASTENERS
MUST BE CAREFULLY TORQUED AND THE ARROW MUST BE POINTED TOWARD THE
FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OF THE SRS. THE SDM COULD
BE ACTIVATED WHEN POWERED WHILE NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE
WHICH COULD CAUSE DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
The SDM is designed to perform the following functions in the Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS).
1. Energy Reserve -The SDM maintains 24 - Volt Loop Reserve (24 VLR) energy supply to provide
deployment energy when ignition voltage is lost
in a frontal crash.
2. Frontal Crash Detection - The SDM monitors vehicle velocity changes to detect frontal crashes
which are severe enough to warrant deployment. 3. Air Bag Deployment - When a frontal crash of
sufficient force is detected, the SDM will cause enough current to flow through the air bag
assembly to deploy the air bag.
4. Malfunction Detection - The SDM performs diagnostic monitoring of SRS electrical components
and sets a diagnostic trouble code when a
malfunction is detected.
5. Frontal Crash Recording - The SDM records information regarding SRS status during frontal
crash. 6. Malfunction Diagnosis - The SDM displays SRS diagnostic trouble codes and system
status information through the use of a scan tool. 7. Driver notification - The SDM warns the vehicle
driver of SRS malfunctions by controlling the "Air Bag" warning lamp.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

will be accompanied by a substantial noise
which may startle the uninformed.
15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS deployment harness.
NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial noise. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the driver air bag.
WARNING: DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED
TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO
IT. CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD
ALWAYS BE THE LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value
based on temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes a low resistance of
70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F). The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through resistors
in the PCM and measures the voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 85 °C (185 °F). It then stabilizes when the thermostat opens. If the
engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine coolant sensor
circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or P1115.

Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The coolant temperature gauge consists of two intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. When voltage from fuse 11 is applied to the coils, a magnetic field is generated. This
causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to move. The magnetic field is controlled by the
sender. As the resistance in the sender varies, current through the gauge coils changes. The
gauge needle moves according to the changing magnetic field.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

The SDM will cause the "AIR BAG" warning lamp to flash seven times and then go "OFF"
whenever the ignition switch transitions to the ON position from any other ignition switch position
and no malfunctions are detected.
"CONTINUOUS MONITORING"
Tests performed by the SDM on the SRS every 100 milliseconds while "Ignition 1" voltage is in the
normal operating voltage range at the SDM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
Formerly "DLC" a connector which allows communication with an external computer, such as a
scan tool.
Datum Line
A base line parallel to the plane of the underbody or frame from which all vertical measurements
originate.
Deploy
To inflate the air bag.
Deployment Loops
The circuits which supply current to the air bag assemblies to deploy the air bag.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as the MIL you are already familiar with
("Check Engine" lamp). However, OBD II requires that it illuminate under a strict set of guide lines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the PCM detects a DTC that will impact vehicle emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Executive. The MIL will be turned on if an
emissions-related diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It will stay on until the
system or component passes the same test, for three consecutive trips, with no emissions related
faults.
If the vehicle is experiencing a misfire malfunction which may cause damage to the Three-Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), the MIL will flash once per second. This will continue until the vehicle is
outside of speed and load conditions which could cause possible catalyst damage, and the MIL will
stop flashing and remain on steady.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn off the MIL after three(3) consecutive trips
that a "test passed" has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to
illuminate.
Although the MIL has been turned off, the DTC will remain in the PCM memory (both Freeze
Frame and Failure Records) until forty (40) warm-up cycles after no faults have been completed.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related DTC, additional requirements must be met.
In addition to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph, these requirements are as follows:
- The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur within 375 RPM of the RPM data stored at the
time the last test failed.
- Plus or minus ten (10) percent of the engine load that was stored at the time the last failed.
- Similar engine temperature conditions (warmed up or warming up) as those stored at the time the
last test failed. Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which turned on the MIL has
been corrected.
The MIL ("Check Engine" lamp) is on the instrument panel and has the following function:
- It informs the driver that a fault affects vehicle emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
- As a bulb and system check, the MIL will come "ON" with the key "ON" and the engine not
running. When the engine is started, the MIL will turn "OFF."
- When the MIL remains "ON" while the engine is running, or when a malfunction is suspected due
to a driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) System Check
must be performed. The procedures for these checks are given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System Check. These checks will expose faults which may not be detected if other diagnostics are
performed first.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value
based on temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes a low resistance of
70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F). The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through resistors
in the PCM and measures the voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 85 °C (185 °F). It then stabilizes when the thermostat opens. If the
engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine coolant sensor
circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or P1115.

WARNING: DURING SERVICE PROCEDURES, BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING SDM.
NEVER STRIKE OR JAR SDM. UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, IT COULD CAUSE
DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR IMPROPER OPERATION OF THE
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS). SDM MOUNTING BRACKET BOLTS MUST BE
CAREFULLY TORQUED TO ASSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE SRS SHOULD ONLY BE
CONNECTED TO A POWER SOURCE WHEN IT IS INSTALLED SECURELY IN THE VEHICLE.
THE SDM MAY SUDDENLY DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING: PROPER OPERATION OF THE SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM)
REQUIRES THE SDM TO BE SECURELY INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ARROW ON
THE SENSOR MUST BE POINTING TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.
SDM is specifically calibrated and is keyed to the SDM location SRS wiring harness. Caution
should be used to ensure proper location of the SDM. The keying of the SDM to its location and
wiring harness connectors should never be modified in the field.
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition
switch is ON (II), or at least for three minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the
area around the SRS unit and the side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and
cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit. After a collision in which
the side airbag was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the side where the side airbag
deployed and the SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side impact sensors. If there is
any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact sensors.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact sensors.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, and disconnect the connectors from
the SRS unit.
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts
torqued to 9.8 Nm (1.0 kg.m, 7.2 lb.ft)
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors and keep them away from dust.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
SRS Operation
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver (and front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag (and front passenger's airbag).
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charge(s). If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the
voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s). 3. The
inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s).
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator light comes on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit
passes on the information from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can
be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Removal and Installation
WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED
AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY SURFACE MAY
CONTAIN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SODIUM HYDROXIDE, A BY - PRODUCT OF THE
DEPLOYMENT REACTION, THAT IS IRRITATING TO THE SKIN AND EYES. MOST OF THE
POWDER ON THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY IS HARMLESS. AS A PRECAUTION, WEAR GLOVES
AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN HANDLING A DEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, AND WASH
YOUR HANDS WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER AFTERWARDS.
WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG AND TRIM
COVER ARE POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER CARRY AIR BAG ASSEMBLY BY THE
WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MODULE. IN THE CASE OF AN
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT; THE BAG WILL THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF
INJURY. WHEN PLACING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE,
ALWAYS FACE BAG AND TRIM COVER UP AWAY FROM THE SURFACE. NEVER REST A
STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITH THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
FACE DOWN AND COLUMN VERTICAL. THIS IS NECESSARY SO THAT A FREE SPACE IS
PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF
ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY COULD RESULT.
NOTE: In the event deployment has occurred, inspect coil assembly wire for any signs of
scorching, melting or any other damage due to excessive heat. If the coil has been damaged,
replace it.
Removal
1. Disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). (Refer to "Disabling the SRS".)
Page 1422
17. Recheck the valve clearance using the Go/No-Go method (see step 4).
- If the clearance is OK, repeat steps 6 thru 17 for the other valves needing adjustment.
- If the clearance is still incorrect, repeat steps 6 through 17 until it is correct, then adjust the
remaining valves.
18. Turn the camshaft pulleys until the single timing dot (right cylinder bank) and dual timing dots
(left cylinder bank) align with the single timing
dots on the camshaft drive gears.
19. Install the cylinder head covers with new gaskets. Torque the cover bolts to 9 N.m (6.5 lb-ft).
Off-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
4. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
5. Rotate the camshaft pulley until the dual timing dots (exhaust camshaft) and single timing dot
(intake camshaft) align with the timing dots on the
camshaft drive gear.
Service and Repair
Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, there are necessary to relieve the fuel
system pressure before filler and gauge unit servicing the fuel system components.
CAUTION: After relieving the system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing fuel lines or connections. Reduce the chance of personal injury by covering the fuel line
fittings with a shop towel before you disconnect the fittings. The towels will absorb any fuel that
may leak out. When the disconnect is completed, place the towel in an approved container.
1. Remove the fuel cap. 2. Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood relay box. 3. Start the
engine and allow it to stall. 4. Crank the engine for 30 seconds. 5. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.

PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Service Precaution
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector
pins or soldered components on the circuit board.
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation. Avoid
overloading any circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of
the PCM's circuits unless instructed to do so. These circuits should only be tested using digital
voltmeter J-39200. The PCM should remain connected to the PCM or to a recommended breakout
box.
Information On PCM
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the engine room and is the control center of
the electronic transmission control system. 2. The PCM must be maintained at a temperature
below 85°C (185°F) at all times. This is most essential if the vehicle is put through a paint baking
process. The PCM will become inoperative if its temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F). Therefore, it is
recommended that the PCM be removed or that temporary insulation be placed around the PCM
during the time the vehicle is in a paint oven or other high temperature process.
3. The PCM is designed to process the various inputs and then respond by sending the appropriate
electrical signals to control transmission upshift,
downshift, shift feel and torque converter clutch engagement.
4. The PCM constantly interprets information from the various sensors, and controls the systems
that affect transmission and vehicle performance. By
analyzing operational problems, the PCM is able to perform a diagnostic function by displaying
DTC(s) and aid the technician in making repairs.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
SRS Operation
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver (and front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag (and front passenger's airbag).
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charge(s). If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the
voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s). 3. The
inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s).
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator light comes on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit
passes on the information from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can
be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).

pressure connection. The towel will absorb any fuel leakage that occurs during the connection of
the fuel pressure gauge. Place the towel in an approved container when the connection of the fuel
pressure gauge Is complete.
Place the fuel pressure gauge bleed hose in an approved gasoline container. With the ignition
switch "OFF", open the valve on the fuel pressure gauge.
3. Record the lowest voltage displayed by the DVM after the first second of the test. (During the
first second, voltage displayed by the DVM may be
inaccurate due to the initial current surge.)
Injector Specifications: The voltage displayed by the DVM should be within the specified range.
Page 3025
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The PCM determines the speed of the vehicle by converting a plusing voltage signal from the
vehicle speed sensor (VSS) into miles per hour. The PCM uses this signal to operate the cruise
control, speedometer, and the TCC and shift solenoids in the transmission. For more information
on the TCC and shift solenoids, refer to 4L30-E Automatic Transmission (Transmission Control
System Diagnosis).
How the Circuit Works
The VSS generates a signal for the speedometer. The speedometer consists of its own speed
sensor, an ammeter (to move the needle), stepper motor (to turn the odometer), and a driving
circuit (printed circuit board).
The VSS is mounted to the transmission. The transmission pinion shaft generates four pulses per
one rotation. The rate at which the pulses are generated indicates the vehicle speed. The speed
sensor in the speedometer uses the pulses to control how far and fast the needle moves and to
send vehicle speed information (4096 pulses per mile) to the ECM or PCM.

Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In
Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

PCM Voltage Description
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches and sensors. It can do this because
resistance in the PCM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate when connected to the
circuit. An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the voltmeter input
impedance is too low. Use a 10-megohm input impedance digital voltmeter (such as J-39200) to
assure accurate voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most components with electronic switches which complete a
ground circuit when turned "ON." These switches are arranged in groups of 4 and 7, called either a
surface-mounted quad driver module (QDM), which can independently control up to 4 output
terminals, or QDMs which can independently control up to 7 outputs. Not all outputs are always
used.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the passenger compartment below the center
console.
The PCM controls the following:
- Fuel metering system.
- Transmission shifting (automatic transmission only).
- Ignition timing.
- On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The PCM constantly observes the information from various sensors. The PCM controls the
Systems that affect vehicle performance. The PCM performs the diagnostic function of the system.
It can recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL (Check Engine lamp), and
store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the technician in
making repairs.
58X Reference PCM Input
58X Reference PCM Input
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses this signal from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to
calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position at all engine speeds. The PCM also uses the pulses
on this circuit to initiate injector pulses. If the PCM receives no pulses on this circuit, DTC P0337
will set. The engine will not start and run without using the 58X reference signal.

Fuel Meter Body: Description and Operation Fuel Metering Basic System Operation
Fuel Metering System Components
The fuel metering system is made up of the following parts:
- The fuel injectors.
- The throttle body.
- The fuel rail.
- The fuel pressure regulator.
- The PCM.
- The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
- The ION sensing module.
- The fuel pump.
- The fuel pump relay.
Basic System Operation
The fuel metering system starts with the fuel in the fuel tank. An electric fuel pump, located in the
fuel tank, pumps fuel to the fuel rail through an in-line fuel filter. The pump is designed to provide
fuel at a pressure above the pressure needed by the injectors. A fuel pressure regulator in the fuel
rail keeps fuel available to the fuel injectors at a constant pressure. A return line delivers unused
fuel back to the fuel tank. Refer to fuel tank, line filter, and fuel pipes for further information.

CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Powertrain Control Module: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnosis
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a Tech 2.
IMPORTANT: Use of a Tech 2 is recommended to clear diagnostic trouble codes from the PCM
memory. Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning the ignition "OFF" and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM for 30 seconds. Turning off the ignition and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM will cause all diagnostic information in the PCM
memory to be cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have to be re-run.
Since the PCM can have a failure which may affect only one circuit, following the diagnostic
procedures will determine which circuit has a problem and where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the PCM connections or the PCM is the cause of a problem, and
the PCM is replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of the following may be the reason:
- There is a problem with the PCM terminal connections. The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
- EEPROM program is not correct for the application. Incorrect components or reprogramming the
PCM with the wrong EEPROM program may cause a malfunction and may or may not set a DTC.
- The problem is intermittent. This means that the problem is not present at the time the system is
being checked. In this case, refer to the Symptom Diagnosis and make a careful physical
inspection of all component and wiring associated with the affected system.
- There is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness. Solenoids and relays are turned "ON" and
"OFF" by the PCM using internal electronic switches called drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil,
or harness will not damage the PCM but will cause the solenoid or relay to be inoperative.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Tires: Testing and Inspection Radial Tire Waddle
Radial Tire Waddle
Waddle is side-to-side movement at the front and/or rear of the car. It can be caused by the steel
belt not being straight within the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the tire or wheel. It is most
noticeable at low speed, about 8 to 48 km/h (5 to 30 mph). It may also cause rough ride at 80 to
113 km/h (50 to 70 mph). The car can be road tested to see which end of the car has the faulty tire.
If the tire causing the waddle is on the rear, the rear end of the car will "waddle". From the driver's
seat, it feels as if someone is pushing on the side of the car. If the faulty tire is on the front, the
waddle is more easily seen. The front sheet metal appears to be moving back and forth. It feels as
if the driver's seat is the pivot point in the car. Another more time-consuming method of determining
the faulty tire is substituting tire and wheel assemblies that are known to be good. Follow these
steps: 1. Drive the car to determine if the waddle is coming from the front or rear. 2. Install tire and
wheel assemblies known to be good (from a similar car) in place of those on the end of the car
which is waddling. If the waddle
cannot be isolated to front or rear, start with the rear tires.
3. Road test again. If improvement is noted, install the original tire and wheel assemblies one at a
time until the faulty tire is found. If no
improvement is noted, install tires known to be good in place of all four. Then, install the originals
one at a time until the faulty tire is found.

Description and Operation
Lateral Accelerometer: Description and Operation
G-SENSOR/LATERAL ACCELEROMETER
The G-sensor installed inside the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) detects the vehicle
deceleration speed and sends a signal to the EHCU. In 4WD operation, all four wheels may be
decelerated in almost the same phase, since all wheels are connected mechanically.
This tendency is noticeable particularly on roads with low friction coefficient, and the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) control is adversely affected.
The G-sensor judges whether the friction coefficient of road surface is low or high, and changes the
EHCU's operating system to ensure ABS control.

^ If the wheels are pointed to the left, shorten the passenger's side tie-rod, and lengthen the
driver's side.
^ Each 360° turn of the tie-rod equals about 8 mm of steering wheel adjustment. For example, a
steering wheel is off-center by 4 mm with the front wheels pointed right (when the steering wheel is
centered). To correct the off-center, shorten the driver's side tie-rod by a half-turn, and lengthen the
passenger's side tie-rod by a half-turn.

Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the PCM are often designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of
static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components. By comparison, it takes as
much as 4000 volts for a person to feel even the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and induction.
- An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a vehicle seat.
- Charge by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentary touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore it is important to use care when handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage, follow these guidelines:
- Do not touch the PCM connector pins or soldered components on the PCM circuit board.
- Do not open the replacement part package until the part is ready to be installed.
- Before removing the pan: from the package, ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
- If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a known good ground before installing the part.

Timing Belt: Service and Repair Timing Belt Installation
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
NOTE:
- Do not install the timing belt until you are sure the camshafts, camshaft pulleys, and crankshaft
timing pulley are in their correct "timed" positions.
- Left and right engine callouts are from the driver's seat.
1. With the green direction arrows on the timing belt pointing clockwise, slip the belt over the right
camshaft pulley so its solid white line (the line
closest to the direction arrows) aligns with the mark on the pulley. Secure the belt to the pulley with
a large binder clip.
2. Wrap the timing belt around the bottom of the water pump pulley, and draw it tight.
3. Slip the timing belt over the left camshaft pulley so its other solid white line (the one farthest from
the direction arrows) aligns with the mark on
the pulley. Secure the belt to the pulley with a large binder clip.
4. Wrap the timing belt around the inner side of the idler pulley, then slip the belt over the
crankshaft timing pulley with its dotted white line aligned
to the green mark on the crankshaft timing pulley.
NOTE:
For correct belt stretch, the doffed line must meet the green mark on the crankshaft timing pulley at
the 9 o'clock position. If there isn't enough slack to slip the belt over the pulley in the correct
position, turn the crankshaft a few degrees counterclockwise, install the belt, then turn the
crankshaft back to the 9 o'clock position.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Data Link Connector: Description and Operation
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communication with the control module is the Data Link Connector (DLC). It is
located at the lower left of the instrument panel behind a small square cover. The DLC is used to
connect to the Tech 2 Scan Tool. Some common uses of the Tech 2 are listed below:
- Identifying stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
- Clearing DTCs.
- Performing output control tests.
- Reading serial data.
Page 5740
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Catalytic Converter: Technical Service Bulletins Catalytic Converter - Rotten Egg Smell
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Rotten Egg Smell? Could Be the Catalytic Converter
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Are customers complaining of a rotten egg smell, but you can't find anything wrong
with their vehicles to account for it [there's no DTC(s) set, no driveability problems reported,
nothing damaged or broken]? Then it could well be coming from the catalytic converter. That smell
is a release of built up hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from the reaction of organic sulfur compounds in the
gasoline with the catalyst in the converter.
Almost all gasoline contains some amount of organic sulfur compounds, and that amount varies by
region. The more sulfur there is in the gasoline, the more H2S is built up and released by the
catalytic converter, so the stronger the smell. In California, where low-sulfur gasoline is actually
required by state law, sulfur smell complaints are few and far between. The folks at the
Environmental Protection Agency have issued a requirement for the phasing-in of low-sulfur
gasoline nationwide between 2004 and 2006. This low-sulfur gasoline should go a long way toward
making complaints of rotten egg smell a thing of the past.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Three-way catalytic converters are used to control emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The catalyst within the converters promotes a
chemical reaction. This reaction oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas and converts
them into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx by converting it
to nitrogen. The PCM can monitor this process using the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2
heated oxygen sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the Bank 2 HO2S 1 sensors produce an output
signal which indicates the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas entering the three-way
catalytic converter. The Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors produce an output signal
which indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. This indicates the catalyst's ability to
efficiently convert exhaust gases. If the catalyst is operating efficiently, the Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the
Bank 2 HO2S 1 signals will be more active than the signals produced by the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and
the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors.
The catalyst monitor sensors operate the same as the fuel control sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 2
and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors main function is catalyst monitoring, but they also have a limited
role in fuel control. If a sensor output indicates a voltage either above or below the 450 mV bias
voltage for an extended period of time, the PCM will make a slight adjustment to fuel trim to ensure
that fuel delivery is correct for catalyst monitoring.
A problem with the Bank 1 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0137, P0138, or P0140, depending
on the specific condition. A problem with the Bank 2 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0157,
P0158, or P0160, depending on the specific condition. A fault in the heated oxygen sensor heater
element or its ignition feed or ground will result in lower sensor response. This may cause incorrect
catalyst monitor diagnostic results.

Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

This sample Ground Distribution schematic shows all of the components that share two ground
points.
Components
A solid border line means the entire component is shown.
A broken border line indicates that only part of the component is shown.
Page 2983
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

The name of the component appears next to it followed by notes about its function along with any
photo and connector view references.
Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Upshift Lamp System Check (Manual Transmission Only)
Upshift Indicator: Testing and Inspection Upshift Lamp System Check (Manual Transmission Only)
Upshift Lamp System Check (Manual Transmisssion Only)
Circuit Description
The Upshift Lamp should always be illuminated and steady with the ignition "ON" and the engine
stopped. Ignition feed voltage is supplied to the Upshift Lamp bulb through the meter fuse. The
powertrain control module (PCM) orders the Upshift Lamp "ON" signal for Multiplex Control Unit.
When Multiplex Control Unit is received Upshift Lamp "ON" signal that turn Upshift Lamp "ON" by
grounding the Upshift Lamp driver circuit.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent Upshift Lamp may be cased by a poor connection, rubbed-through wire insulation,
or a wire broken inside the insulation. Check for the following items:
- Inspect the PCM and Multiplex Control Unit harness and connections for improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and damaged
harness.
- If the engine runs OK, check for a faulty light bulb, an open in the MIL driver circuit, or an open in
the instrument cluster ignition feed.
- If the engine cranks but will not run, check for an open PCM ignition or battery feed, or a poor
PCM to engine ground.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure
(vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below 2 volts at idle (high
vacuum) to above 4 volts with the ignition ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle (low
vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following:
- Manifold pressure changes while the linear EGR flow test diagnostic is being run. Refer to DTC
P0401.
- Barometric pressure (BARO).
If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the possible range of the MAP sensor, DTC P0107
will be set. A signal voltage higher than the possible range of the sensor will set DTC P0108. An
intermittent low or high voltage will set DTC P1107, respectively. The PCM can detect a shifted
MAP sensor. The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal to a calculated MAP based on throttle
position and various engine load factors. If the PCM detects a MAP signal that varies excessively
above or below the calculated value, DTC P0106 will set.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Page 4058
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Recall - Potential Rear Trailing Link Bracket Corrosion
Technical Service Bulletin # 10-079 Date: 110217
Recall - Potential Rear Trailing Link Bracket Corrosion
10-079
February 17, 2011
Applies To: 1998-02 Passport - ALL
Safety Recall: Corrosion On Lower Trailing Link Front Brackets
(Supersedes 10-079, dated February 11, 2011, to revise the information marked by the black
bars/shown with asterisks)
REVISION SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Over time, in areas that use road salt, excessive corrosion can develop on or near the brackets
attaching the lower trailing links to the frame. If the corrosion reaches a heavy stage, a clunking
noise may be heard during acceleration and braking. In rare cases of severe corrosion, a trailing
link could separate from the frame. If this happens, vehicle handling could be affected, increasing
the risk of a crash.
Road salt is commonly used in an area known as the salt belt." As shown in the shaded area of the
map, the salt belt includes these states:
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington D.C.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles that were originally purchased or currently registered in a salt belt
state will be sent a notification of this campaign.
Two different notifications are being sent: one for vehicles less than 10 years old (as of September
22, 2010), and another for vehicles more than 10 years old (as of September 22, 2010). Examples
of both customer notifications are at the end of this service bulletin.
Before beginning work on a vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on an iN VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a campaign completion label on the back edge of the driver's door, just below
the door latch. This label indicates that the campaign has already been completed. Complete the
recall repair on an eligible vehicle even if the vehicle is now located in a non-salt belt state.

Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation
General Description
Torque is transmitted from the transmission to the axle through propeller shaft and universal joint
assembles. All propeller shafts are the balanced tubular type. A splined slip joint is provided in
some drivelines. ^
Since the propeller shaft is balanced carefully welding or any other modification is not permitted.
^ Alignment marks should be applied to each propeller shaft before removal.
^ Park, turn the engine off and apply the parking brake to secure the vehicle.
^ Carefully attach the propeller shaft to the vise, do not overtighten the vise when securing the
propeller shaft, this may cause deformation.
Phasing The propeller shaft is designed and built with the yoke lugs (ears) in line with each other.
This design produces the smoothest running shaft possible, called phasing. Vibration can be
caused by an out-of-phase propeller shaft. The propeller shaft will absorb vibrations from speeding
up and slowing down each time the universal joint spins. This vibration would be the same as a
person snapping rope and watching the "wave" reaction flow to the end. A propeller shaft working
in phase would be similar to two persons snapping a rope at the same time, and watching the
"waves" meet and cancel each other out. In comparison, this would be the same as the universal
joints on a propeller shaft. A total cancellation of vibration produces a smooth flow of power in the
driveline. It is very important to apply a reference mark to the propeller shaft before removal, to
assure installation alignment.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Page 4898
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.
The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the
vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows
the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and Components."
This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. If Power Distribution
shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other
circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

PCM Voltage Description
PCM Voltage Description
The PCM supplies a buffered voltage to various switches and sensors. It can do this because
resistance in the PCM is so high in value that a test light may not illuminate when connected to the
circuit. An ordinary shop voltmeter may not give an accurate reading because the voltmeter input
impedance is too low. Use a 10-megohm input impedance digital voltmeter (such as J-39200) to
assure accurate voltage readings.
The input/output devices in the PCM include analog-to-digital converters, signal buffers, counters,
and special drivers. The PCM controls most components with electronic switches which complete a
ground circuit when turned "ON." These switches are arranged in groups of 4 and 7, called either a
surface-mounted quad driver module (QDM), which can independently control up to 4 output
terminals, or QDMs which can independently control up to 7 outputs. Not all outputs are always
used.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
The powertrain control module (PCM) is located in the passenger compartment below the center
console.
The PCM controls the following:
- Fuel metering system.
- Transmission shifting (automatic transmission only).
- Ignition timing.
- On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The PCM constantly observes the information from various sensors. The PCM controls the
Systems that affect vehicle performance. The PCM performs the diagnostic function of the system.
It can recognize operational problems, alert the driver through the MIL (Check Engine lamp), and
store diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). DTCs identify the problem areas to aid the technician in
making repairs.
58X Reference PCM Input
58X Reference PCM Input
The powertrain control module (PCM) uses this signal from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to
calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position at all engine speeds. The PCM also uses the pulses
on this circuit to initiate injector pulses. If the PCM receives no pulses on this circuit, DTC P0337
will set. The engine will not start and run without using the 58X reference signal.

Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Tires: Service and Repair Tire Replacement
Tire Replacement
When replacement is necessary, the original metric tire size should be used. Most metric tire sizes
do not have exact corresponding alphanumeric tire sizes. It is recommended that new tires be
installed in pairs on the same axle. If necessary to replace only one tire, it should be paired with tire
having the most tread, to equalize braking traction.
CAUTION: Do not mix different types of tires such as radial, bias and bias-belted tires except in
emergencies, because vehicle handling may be seriously affected and may result in loss of control.
Tire Dismounting Remove valve capon valve step and deflate the tire. Then use a tire changing
machine to mount or dismount tires. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instruction. Do not use
hand tools or tire lever alone to change tires as they may damage the tire beads or wheel rim.
Tire Mounting Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove
lubricants, and light rust. Before mounting a tire, the bead area should be well lubricated with an
approved tire lubricant. After mounting, inflate the tire to 196 kPa (28 psi) so that beads are
completely seated. Inflate the air to specified pressure and install valve cap to the stem.
WARNING: NEVER STAND OVER TIRE WHEN INFLATING. BEAD MAY BREAK WHEN BEAD
SNAPS OVER RIM'S SAFETY HUMP AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER
EXCEED 240 KPA (35 PSI) PRESSURE WHEN INFLATING. IF 240 KPA (35 PSI) PRESSURE
WILL NOT SEAT BEADS, DEFLATE, RE-LUBRICATE AND RE-INFLATE. OVER INFLATION
MAY CAUSE THE BEAD TO BREAK AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
Tire Repair There are many different materials on the market used to repair tires. Manufacturers
have published detailed instructions on how and when to repair tires. These instructions can be
obtained from the tire manufacturer if they are not included with the repair kit.

6. Test-drive the vehicle to make sure it no longer pulls. If the steering wheel is now off-center by
more than 2 mm, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE C.
7. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
REPAIR PROCEDURE C
1. Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it stops.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and count the number of revolutions until it stops.
^ Divide the number of revolutions in half, and turn the steering wheel until it is centered. For
example, if it takes four revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, then two turns is
centered.
^ If the steering wheel is off-center by a large amount (20 mm or more), it may not be centered on
the steering column shaft. Reinstall the steering wheel before going to step 2.
2. Place the vehicle on a lift, turn the steering wheel until it is centered, and then raise the vehicle.
3. Adjust the tie-rods. Use your measurements from question 13 of the test-drive to make your
adjustment.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

The steering wheel offset gauge is a sticker that attaches to the steering wheel and the steering
column cover. Place the sticker on the steering wheel when the steering wheel is straight. When
you test-drive the vehicle, you can read how many millimeters the steering wheel is off-center.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is pulling, repairing the pull may correct the steering wheel offset.

wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

The transmission fluid temperature sensor is a thermistor which changes its resistance based on
the temperature of the transmission fluid. For a complete description of the TFT sensor, refer to
4L30-E Automatic Transmission Diagnosis (Transmission Control System Diagnosis).
A failure in the TFT sensor or associated wiring will cause DTC P0712 or DTC P0713 to set. In this
case, engine coolant temperature will be substituted for the TFT sensor value and the transmission
will operate normally.
Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body. The PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal also changes. At a
closed throttle position, the output of the TP1 sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be above 92 % (Tech 2
Display).
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
PCM thinks the throttle is moving.

Description and Operation
Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early ’90s, Honda vehicles have come with an electrical load detector (ELD) unit in the
under-hood fuse/relay box. This unit allows the ECM/PCM to regulate the alternator (switch it
between high output and low output) to provide the best combination of fuel economy and electrical
system operation. The ELD sends a signal to the ECM/PCM that is proportional to the electrical
demand. The ECM/PCM switches the alternator between high output and low output depending on
several factors, which include electrical demand, battery charge level, and the driving cycle. When
the alternator is in low output, the engine load is reduced and fuel economy improves.

Clarification of Honda Unibody Repair Policy
BACKGROUND
Honda automobiles and trucks are built to precise standards so that they can perform well under
many situations. For example, they offer a firm responsive ride yet yield when necessary under the
forces of a collision to help protect the vehicle occupants.
HONDA REPAIR POLICY
Sectioning Frame Components
When body repairs are necessary, Honda recommends that any repairs be performed by an
experienced professional, using the Honda body repair manual, and that component replacement
be accomplished along factory seams. Failure to do so can result in a number of problems,
including improperly fitting parts, noises, tire wear, and most importantly, changes in vehicle
dynamics and occupant protection in a subsequent crash.
In particular, Honda strongly recommends against the process of joining cut pieces from separate
vehicle~commonly referred to as clipping. This is not an authorized Honda repair method. Any
problem with other components resulting from such improper vehicle repairs is not covered under
Honda's factory or extended warranties.
Also, because what's in a part is as important as how it looks, Honda strongly recommends the use
of Honda Genuine repair parts. The material used to create the part, such as high-strength steel,
and the subtle shapes of the part, determine how it will perform in normal operation or in a
subsequent collision. Using Honda Genuine repair parts helps return the vehicle to its pre-crash
condition.
ADHESIVES/WELDING
Using adhesives in place of welding for component replacement is not an authorized Honda repair
method. It is important to repair at factory seams using the same procedure as the factory
assembly process except where specified otherwise in the Honda body repair manual. The door
skin is welded at the top and is glued around the crimp. Each body repair manual states that if the
reinforcement in the door is damaged, the complete door must be replaced.
NOTE:
Because they are made of high-strength steel, door and bumper reinforcements must not be
repaired or straightened.
INFORMATION RESOURCES
Extensive research and development goes into every Honda to provide safety for those inside as
well as outside the vehicle. Therefore, it is critical that collision repair facilities do not change a
vehicle during collision repair. Please visit the following websites for further information about
Honda safety:
^ world.honda.com/safety, and
^ world.honda.com/news/2003/4030904_2.html Body repair manuals are available for every new
Honda model series that is sold in the U.S. Each manual provides instructions for proper repair
procedures, and drawings that show where each factory seam and weld on the vehicle is located.
In a few instances, the manual also indicates where it is acceptable to cut panels and sections
other than at factory seams.
Body repair manuals can be purchased from Helm, Inc. using one of these methods:
^ Call Helm Inc. at 1-800-782-4356
^ Go online at www.helminc.com
Collision repair facilities can also subscribe to all manuals at www. serviceexpress.honda.com.

Refrigerant Oil: Service and Repair Contamination of Compressor Oil
Contamination of Compressor Oil
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the compressor oil. Even if the compressor runs for
a long period of time (approximately one season), the oil never becomes contaminated as long as
there is nothing wrong with the compressor or its method of use.
Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following conditions:
- The capacity of the oil has increased.
- The oil has changed to red.
- Foreign substances, metal powder, etc., are present in the oil.
If any of these conditions exists, the compressor oil is contaminated. Whenever contaminated
compressor oil is discovered, the receiver/drier must be replaced.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Page 445
Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows
the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and Components."
This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. If Power Distribution
shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other
circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

10. Release your finger from the delivery port when the brake pedal returns completely. 11. Repeat
steps 8 through 10 until the brake fluid comes out of the delivery port during step 8.
NOTE: Do not allow the fluid level in the reservoir to go below the half-way mark.
12. Reconnect the brake pipe (1) to the master cylinder and tighten the pipe. 13. Depress the brake
pedal slowly once and hold it depressed. 14. Loosen the rear wheel brake pipe (1) at the master
cylinder. 15. Retighten the brake pipe, then release the brake pedal slowly. 16. Repeat steps 13
through 15 until no air comes out of the port when the brake pipe is loosened.
NOTE: Be very careful not to allow the brake fluid to come in contact with painted surfaces.
17. Bleed the air from the front wheel brake pipe connection (2) by repeating steps 7 through 16.
Bleeding the Caliper
18. Bleed the air from each wheel in the order listed:
- Right rear caliper or wheel cylinder
- Left rear caliper or wheel cylinder
- Right front caliper
- Left front caliper
Conduct air bleeding from the wheels in the above order. If no brake fluid comes out, it suggests
that air is mixed in the master cylinder. In this case, bleed air from the master cylinder. In this case,
bleed air from the master cylinder in accordance with steps 7 through 17, and then bleed air from
the caliper or wheel cylinder.
19. Place the proper size box end wrench over the bleeder screw. 20. Cover the bleeder screw with
a transparent tube, and submerge the free end of the transparent tube in a transparent container
containing brake fluid
.
21. Pump the brake pedal slowly three (3) times (once/sec), then hold it depressed. 22. Loosen the
bleeder screw until fluid flows through the tube. 23. Retighten the bleeder screw. 24. Release the
brake pedal slowly. 25. Repeat steps 21 through 24 until the air is completely removed. It may be
necessary to repeat the bleeding procedure 10 or more times for front
wheels and 15 or more times for rear wheels.
26. Go to the next wheel in the sequence after each wheel is bled. Be sure to monitor reservoir
fluid level. 27. Depress the brake pedal to check if you feel "sponginess" after the air has been
removed from all wheel cylinders and calipers. If the pedal feels
"spongy", the entire bleeding procedure must be repeated.
28. After the bleeding operation is completed on the each individual wheel, check the level of the
brake fluid in the reservoir and replenish up to the
"MAX" level as necessary.
29. Attach the reservoir cap. If the diaphragm inside the cap is deformed, reform it and install. 30.

TITLE: Avoiding Comebacks From A/T Contamination
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
Installing a reman A/T? Here are some important tips to keep in mind to ensure a first-time fix and
to avoid any come-backs:
- If the vehicle has an ATF cooler, make sure you clean the cooler with the ATF Cooler Cleaner
(P/N GHTTTCF6H). See S/B 89-022, ATF Cooler Cleaner, for details.
- If the reman A/T kit includes an in-line filter, don't forget to install it. If the vehicle already has an
in-line filter from an earlier A/T replacement, then remove the existing filter, and install the new one.
- Spray the driveshaft splines with solvent and compressed air before installing them in the reman
A/T. If the failed A/T had a speed sensor, make sure it's clean before you install it. Debris from the
failed A/T can catch in the driveshaft splines or on the speed sensor and contaminate the reman
A/T.
- If the reman A/T comes with a heater/cooler, make sure you install the reman A/T with that
heater/cooler. Never install the heater/cooler from the failed A/T; you could contaminate the reman
A/T.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure
(vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below 2 volts at idle (high
vacuum) to above 4 volts with the ignition ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle (low
vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following:
- Manifold pressure changes while the linear EGR flow test diagnostic is being run. Refer to DTC
P0401.
- Barometric pressure (BARO).
If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the possible range of the MAP sensor, DTC P0107
will be set. A signal voltage higher than the possible range of the sensor will set DTC P0108. An
intermittent low or high voltage will set DTC P1107, respectively. The PCM can detect a shifted
MAP sensor. The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal to a calculated MAP based on throttle
position and various engine load factors. If the PCM detects a MAP signal that varies excessively
above or below the calculated value, DTC P0106 will set.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are mounted in the
exhaust stream where they can monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The oxygen
present in the exhaust gas reacts with the sensor to produce a voltage output. This voltage should
constantly fluctuate from approximately 100 mV to 900 mV. The heated oxygen sensor voltage can
be monitored with a Tech 2. By monitoring the voltage output of the oxygen sensor, the PCM
calculates the pulse width command for the injectors to produce the proper combustion chamber
mixture.
- Low HO2S voltage is a lean mixture which will result in a rich command to compensate.
- High HO2S voltage is a rich mixture which will result in a lean command to compensate.
An open Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal circuit will set a DTC P0134 and the Tech 2 will display a constant
voltage between 400 - 500 mV. A constant voltage below 300 mV in the sensor circuit (circuit
grounded) will set DTC P0131. A constant voltage above 800 mV in the circuit will set DTC P0132.
Faults in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal circuit will cause DTC 0154 (open circuit), DTC P0151
(grounded circuit), or DTC P0152 (signal voltage high) to set. A fault in the Bank 1 HO2S 1 heater
circuit will cause DTC P0135 to set. A fault in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 heater circuit will cause DTC
P0155 to set. The PCM can also detect HO2S response problems. If the response time of an
HO2S is determined to be too slow, the PCM will store a DTC that indicates degraded HO2S
performance.

Powertrain Control Module: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnosis
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a Tech 2.
IMPORTANT: Use of a Tech 2 is recommended to clear diagnostic trouble codes from the PCM
memory. Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning the ignition "OFF" and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM for 30 seconds. Turning off the ignition and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM will cause all diagnostic information in the PCM
memory to be cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have to be re-run.
Since the PCM can have a failure which may affect only one circuit, following the diagnostic
procedures will determine which circuit has a problem and where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the PCM connections or the PCM is the cause of a problem, and
the PCM is replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of the following may be the reason:
- There is a problem with the PCM terminal connections. The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
- EEPROM program is not correct for the application. Incorrect components or reprogramming the
PCM with the wrong EEPROM program may cause a malfunction and may or may not set a DTC.
- The problem is intermittent. This means that the problem is not present at the time the system is
being checked. In this case, refer to the Symptom Diagnosis and make a careful physical
inspection of all component and wiring associated with the affected system.
- There is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness. Solenoids and relays are turned "ON" and
"OFF" by the PCM using internal electronic switches called drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil,
or harness will not damage the PCM but will cause the solenoid or relay to be inoperative.

4. Remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe.
- Because of the expansion and contraction of the metal in the exhaust system over time, this may
be difficult if the engine temperature is below 48 °C (120 °F).
Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT:
- A special anti-seize compound on the HO2S threads. This compound consists of glass beads
suspended in a liquid graphite solution. The graphite burns away with engine heat, but the glass
beads will remain, making the sensor easier to remove.
- New or service sensors will already have the compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is
removed and is to be reinstalled for any reason, the threads must have anti-seize compound
applied.
1. Apply anti-seize compound or the equivalent to the threads of the oxygen sensor, if necessary.
2. Install the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe in its original position.
Tighten Tighten the oxygen sensor to 55 N.m (40 lb ft.).
3. Connect the pigtail to the wiring harness. 4. Connect the negative battery cable.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

3. Connect the universal connect set and the Tracer- Stick dye capsule:
(a) Be sure the quick coupler and control valves on the set are closed.
(b) Remove the low-side service port sealing cap, and connect the set to the low-side service port
using the quick coupler.
(c) Hold a new dye capsule so that the embossed arrow is pointing up. Remove the black end cap,
and carefully attach the capsule to the control valve fitting.
NOTE:
The capsule must be held with the embossed arrow pointing up or the dye will leak out of the
capsule.
(d) Turn the capsule so the embossed arrow is pointing down. Remove the orange end cap, and
carefully attach the service valve fitting provided in the kit (finger tight).
NOTE:
The capsule must be held with the embossed arrow pointing down or the dye will leak out.
4. Connect the NC service equipment:
With the universal connect set and dye capsule attached to the vehicle's low-side service port,
connect the A/C refrigerant recovery and charging station's low-side hose quick coupler to the
service valve fitting. Open the blue hand-wheel valves on both quick couplers. Leave the control
valve (black knob) on the universal connect set closed.
NOTE:
* ^ If you have recovered refrigerant to weigh it as part of your diagnostics, or if there is a low
charge, it is more efficient to recharge the system using normal procedures before installing the
universal connect set. Dye can then be added using approximately 0.05 lb (0.02 kg) of refrigerant.*
^ You do not need to connect the service equipment's high-side hose to the vehicle to install the
dye. If the high-side hose is connected, make sure its coupler valve is closed before proceeding.
^ Do not use the A/C recovery and charging station to recover or evacuate the A/C system when a
full dye capsule is attached. The dye will be drawn into the service equipment instead of being
added to the vehicle's A/C system.
5. Inspect the A/C system for leaks:
(a) Run the A/C system for at least 15 minutes to circulate the dye through the system. Large leaks
will be seen immediately as a fluorescent yellow glow. Smaller leaks may require at least 24 hours
of vehicle operation before they become visible. Operate the A/C system as much as possible
during this time to keep the dye circulating.
(b) Stop the vehicle's engine and inspect the system for leaks using the ultraviolet (UV) lamp and
fluorescence-enhancing glasses from the kit.

Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are mounted in the
exhaust stream where they can monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The oxygen
present in the exhaust gas reacts with the sensor to produce a voltage output. This voltage should
constantly fluctuate from approximately 100 mV to 900 mV. The heated oxygen sensor voltage can
be monitored with a Tech 2. By monitoring the voltage output of the oxygen sensor, the PCM
calculates the pulse width command for the injectors to produce the proper combustion chamber
mixture.
- Low HO2S voltage is a lean mixture which will result in a rich command to compensate.
- High HO2S voltage is a rich mixture which will result in a lean command to compensate.
An open Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal circuit will set a DTC P0134 and the Tech 2 will display a constant
voltage between 400 - 500 mV. A constant voltage below 300 mV in the sensor circuit (circuit
grounded) will set DTC P0131. A constant voltage above 800 mV in the circuit will set DTC P0132.
Faults in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal circuit will cause DTC 0154 (open circuit), DTC P0151
(grounded circuit), or DTC P0152 (signal voltage high) to set. A fault in the Bank 1 HO2S 1 heater
circuit will cause DTC P0135 to set. A fault in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 heater circuit will cause DTC
P0155 to set. The PCM can also detect HO2S response problems. If the response time of an
HO2S is determined to be too slow, the PCM will store a DTC that indicates degraded HO2S
performance.

Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In
Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Avoiding Comebacks From A/T Contamination
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
Installing a reman A/T? Here are some important tips to keep in mind to ensure a first-time fix and
to avoid any come-backs:
- If the vehicle has an ATF cooler, make sure you clean the cooler with the ATF Cooler Cleaner
(P/N GHTTTCF6H). See S/B 89-022, ATF Cooler Cleaner, for details.
- If the reman A/T kit includes an in-line filter, don't forget to install it. If the vehicle already has an
in-line filter from an earlier A/T replacement, then remove the existing filter, and install the new one.
- Spray the driveshaft splines with solvent and compressed air before installing them in the reman
A/T. If the failed A/T had a speed sensor, make sure it's clean before you install it. Debris from the
failed A/T can catch in the driveshaft splines or on the speed sensor and contaminate the reman
A/T.
- If the reman A/T comes with a heater/cooler, make sure you install the reman A/T with that
heater/cooler. Never install the heater/cooler from the failed A/T; you could contaminate the reman
A/T.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System
This procedure has been updated by TSB Manual Update # 01-016 dated January 30, 2001.
BLEEDING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A bleeding operation is necessary to remove air from the hydraulic brake system whenever air is
introduced into the hydraulic system. It may be necessary to bleed the hydraulic system at all four
brakes if air has been introduced through a low fluid level or by disconnecting brake pipes at the
master cylinder. If a brake pipe is disconnected at one wheel, only that wheel cylinder/caliper
needs to be bled. If the pipes are disconnected at any fitting located between the master cylinder
and brakes, then the brake system served by the disconnected pipe must be bled. 1. For 4-Wheel
Antilock Brake System (ABS) equipped vehicle, be sure to remove the ABS main fuse 60A located
at the relay and fuse box before
bleeding air. If you attempt to bleed air without removing the main fuse, air cannot be let out
thoroughly, and this may cause damage to the hydraulic unit. After bleeding air, be sure to replace
the ABS main fuse back to its original position.
2. Set the parking brake completely, then start the engine.
NOTE: The vacuum booster will be damaged if the bleeding operation is performed with the engine
off.
NOTE: To avoid trapping air bubbles in the ABS hydraulic unit while bleeding the brakes, the
hydraulic unit must be tilted forward at a 15-degree angle or greater. Before bleeding, check the
angle of the ABS hydraulic unit with an angle locator level. If needed, raise the rear of the vehicle to
get the proper angle.
The angle locator level (P/N SUN-YA328A) is available through the Honda Tool and Equipment
Program.
3. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap. 4. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid.
Keep the reservoir at least half full during the air bleeding operation. 5. Always use new brake fluid
for replenishment. 6. When replenishing the brake fluid reservoir, carefully pour in the brake fluid to
prevent air bubbles from entering the brake system. When the
master cylinder is replaced or overhauled, first bleed the air from the master cylinder, then from
each wheel cylinder and caliper following the procedures described.
Bleeding the Master Cylinder 7. Disconnect the rear wheel brake pipe (1) from the master cylinder.
Check the fluid level and replenish as necessary. If replenished, leave the

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Reinstall the tool bed on the brake lathe with the top of the cutting bits facing up and the feed
knobs facing down. Adjust the tool bed until the brake disc is centered between the cutting bits. For
proper refinishing, the brake disc must turn toward the top of the cutting bits.
Do not set the cutting depth on the brake lathe to more than 0.2 mm (0.008 in.). This is two
divisions on the cutting knob. Make sure you start your cut at least 3 mm (0.12 in.) beyond the worn
area on the brake disc.
If you are cutting larger diameter brake discs, make sure you use the 150 cutting bit holders. These
bit holders, available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program (see ORDERING
INFORMATION), supersede the original bit holders and provide better cutting coverage for larger
diameter brake discs. Each bit holder is clearly marked for proper installation on the tool holder.
Cutting the Brake Disc
To get the smoothest cut and the best brake disc finish, always use the slowest feed speed on the
tool bed feed motor. Place the drive belt on the smallest pulley of the feed motor and on the largest
pulley of the hand wheel.
Make sure the lower toggle switch on the power drive system drive motor assembly is set to the
proper rotation to turn the brake disc toward the top of the cutting bits. Plug the tool bed feed motor
into the power outlet on the drive motor assembly, then turn on the drive motor with the upper
toggle switch on the assembly.
If you are not using the power drive system, make sure the transmission is in 1st gear (2nd gear on
Preludes with ATTS) or Reverse and the engine is idling, but not at a fast idle. If the transmission
and engine are at higher gears and speeds, you will damage the cutting bits.
Turn on the tool bed feed motor, and snap it into place; there should be tension on the feed belt.
Cut the brake disc until the cutting bits clear the outer edge of the disc. The cutting bits should
produce a smooth, consistent finish with no chatter marks or grooves.
If the disc did not clean up entirely on the first pass, reset the brake lathe and make a second pass.

Blower Does Not Run in One or More Settings (Supersedes 01-007, dated July 3, 2001)
SYMPTOM
The blower does not run in one or more fan control lever positions.
PROBABLE CAUSE
A high current draw on the blower resistor causes it overheat and to become electrically "open."
This high current draw is usually caused by high friction in the blower motor bearings and/or debris
in the blower assembly housing, which jams or slows the blower motor and damages its
commutator.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the blower resistor and the blower motor assembly. Clean out all debris from inside the
blower assembly housing.

Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows
the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and Components."
This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. If Power Distribution
shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other
circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

2) Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven numbers from the marked point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the
rubber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened until the number 1 comes up to the marked
point.
5. After installation, fill the engine with oil up to the specified level, run the engine for more than
three minutes, then check for oil leakage.
CAUTION: Using any procedure other than those shown could result in serious engine damage
due to oil leakage.
Replacement M/T With ATTS:
WARNING: Be careful when loosening the drain plug while the engine is hot. Burns can result
because the oil temperature is very high.
1. Remove the oil filter with the special tool.
2. Inspect the threads and rubber seal on the new filter. Wipe off seat on the engine block. Apply a
light coat of oil to the filter rubber seal.
NOTE: Use only filters with a built-in bypass system.
3. Install the oil filter by hand.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Ignition Lock: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the

Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body. The PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal also changes. At a
closed throttle position, the output of the TP1 sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be above 92 % (Tech 2
Display).
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
PCM thinks the throttle is moving.

Fuel Metering System Description
Fuel Meter Body: Description and Operation Fuel Metering System Description
Fuel Metering
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is in complete control of this fuel delivery system during
normal driving conditions.
The intake manifold function, like that of a diesel, is used only to let air into the engine. The fuel is
injected by separate injectors that are mounted over the intake manifold.
The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake manifold
pressure which result from engine load and speed changes, which the MAP sensor converts to a
voltage output.
This sensor generates the voltage to change corresponding to the flow of the air drawn into the
engine. The changing voltage is transformed into an electric signal and provided to the PCM.
With receipt of the signals sent from the MAP sensor, Intake Air Temperature sensor and others,
the PCM determines an appropriate fuel injection pulse width feeding such information to the fuel
injector valves to affect an appropriate air/fuel ratio.
The Multiport Fuel Injection system utilizes an injection system where the injectors turn on at every
crankshaft revolution. The PCM controls the injector on time so that the correct amount of fuel is
metered depending on driving conditions.
Two interchangeable "O" rings are used on the injector that must be replaced when the injectors
are removed. The fuel rail is attached to the top of the intake manifold and supplies fuel to all the
injectors.
Fuel is recirculated through the rail continually while the engine is running. This removes air and
vapors from the fuel as well as keeping the fuel cool during hot weather operation.
The fuel pressure control valve that is mounted on the fuel rail maintains a pressure differential
across the injectors under all operating conditions. It is accomplished by controlling the amount of
fuel that is recirculated back to the fuel tank based on engine demand.
See "Driveability and Emission" for more information and diagnosis.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
Page 4372
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical

2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Page 1822
11. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 3.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 3. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
12. Turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the PGM Tester.*

too high: below 176.5 ± 19.6 kPa (25.6 ± 2.8 psi) or above 2943 ± 196.2 kPa (426.7 ± 28.4 psi).
A/C Triple Pressure Switch (A/T)
Low and high switch operation is the same as the dual pressure switch. The medium pressure
switch will close when system pressure exceeds 1471.5 ± 98.1 kPa (213.3 ± 14.2 psi), turning on
the condenser fan.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Service Precautions
CONTROL MODULE PRECAUTIONS
The Anti-lock Brake System interfaces directly with the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU)
which is a control computer that is similar in some regards to the Powertrain Control Module.
These modules are designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation.
However, care must be taken to avoid overloading any of the EHCU circuits. In testing for opens or
shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of the circuits unless instructed to do so by the
appropriate diagnostic procedure. These circuits should only be tested with a high impedance
multimeter (J-39200) or special tools. Power should never be removed or applied to any control
module with the ignition in the "ON" position.
Before removing or connecting battery cables, fuses or connectors, always turn the ignition switch
to the "OFF" position.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

A/T - Fixing Banjo Bolt Leaks
Fluid Line/Hose: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Fixing Banjo Bolt Leaks
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Fixing A/T Banjo Bolt Leaks
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
Got ATF leaking from any of the A/T banjo bolts? The first thing you need to do is replace the
sealing washers. Next, start threading the banjo and line bracket bolts in their holes. Finally, torque
the banjo bolt to 31 Nm (22 lb-ft) and the line bracket bolt to 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft.).
NOTE: The banjo bolt torque spec we're recommending is slightly higher than what's listed in the
S/M. This is intentional.
If you torque just the banjo bolt, you won't really fix the leak. ATF leaks at the banjo bolt stem from
the line bracket getting tightened before the banjo bolt. This can misalign the banjo joint, causing
the banjo bolt sealing washers not to contact their mating surfaces evenly. Once the sealing
washers have been used, you must replace them.

Steering/Suspension - Vehicle Pulls Left/Right
06-068
May 2, 2009
Applies To: ALL
*Vehicle Pulls or Drifts, and/or Steering Wheel Is Off-Center (Supersedes 06-068, Vehicle Pulling
or Drifting, dated October 4, 2007, to revise the information marked by asterisks) (Replaces
90-011, Steering Wheel Off-Center Adjustment at PDI)*
*REVISION SUMMARY
The title description was revised.*
SYMPTOM
While driving on a straight road, the vehicle pulls or drifts to the right or left.
BACKGROUND
New tools were developed to help you diagnose and correct a pulling and/or steering wheel
off-center issue. There is a diagnosis worksheet included to take on your test-drive and record your
findings. These values are used to build the 15-digit DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that is required
for your warranty claim. The last step in each repair procedure helps you create the correct code.
In the rare case that you have to repair a vehicle that pulls and has the steering wheel off-center,
use REPAIR PROCEDURE B to file your warranty claim.
For more information, refer to Training Module SSC 44 - Steering Drift or Pull Interactive Service
Bulletin.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Several conditions can cause the vehicle to pull or drift:
^ Wheel alignment
^ Tires
^ Off-center steering wheel (no pulling or drifting, but a customer may believe this is the case)
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Diagnose the problem using the special tools and the worksheet on page 4 that guides you to one
of four repair procedures.
Page 3085
20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).
Page 6190
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

SRS Operation
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver (and front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag (and front passenger's airbag).
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charge(s). If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the
voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s). 3. The
inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s).
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator light comes on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit
passes on the information from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can
be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
Page 6558
If there is no photo number below or beside a component name or a connector, ground, or terminal
number, look up that name or number in the appropriate Connector Identification Chart. The chart
lists how many cavities a connector has, where it's located, and what it connects to. The related
illustration shows the connector's location on the harness, and the harness routing.

Spark Plug: Service and Repair Inspection and Repair
Inspection and Repair
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and therefore its inspection is very important.
- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and insulator of spark plug reduces the engine
performance.
Possible causes:
- Too rich mixture
- Presence of oil in combustion chamber
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

If there is no photo number below or beside a component name or a connector, ground, or terminal
number, look up that name or number in the appropriate Connector Identification Chart. The chart
lists how many cavities a connector has, where it's located, and what it connects to. The related
illustration shows the connector's location on the harness, and the harness routing.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
SRS Operation
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver (and front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag (and front passenger's airbag).
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charge(s). If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the
voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s). 3. The
inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s).
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator light comes on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit
passes on the information from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can
be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).

Connect the negative battery cable.
Page 7369
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as the MIL you are already familiar with
("Check Engine" lamp). However, OBD II requires that it illuminate under a strict set of guide lines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the PCM detects a DTC that will impact vehicle emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Executive. The MIL will be turned on if an
emissions-related diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It will stay on until the
system or component passes the same test, for three consecutive trips, with no emissions related
faults.
If the vehicle is experiencing a misfire malfunction which may cause damage to the Three-Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), the MIL will flash once per second. This will continue until the vehicle is
outside of speed and load conditions which could cause possible catalyst damage, and the MIL will
stop flashing and remain on steady.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn off the MIL after three(3) consecutive trips
that a "test passed" has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to
illuminate.
Although the MIL has been turned off, the DTC will remain in the PCM memory (both Freeze
Frame and Failure Records) until forty (40) warm-up cycles after no faults have been completed.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related DTC, additional requirements must be met.
In addition to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph, these requirements are as follows:
- The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur within 375 RPM of the RPM data stored at the
time the last test failed.
- Plus or minus ten (10) percent of the engine load that was stored at the time the last failed.
- Similar engine temperature conditions (warmed up or warming up) as those stored at the time the
last test failed. Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which turned on the MIL has
been corrected.
The MIL ("Check Engine" lamp) is on the instrument panel and has the following function:
- It informs the driver that a fault affects vehicle emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
- As a bulb and system check, the MIL will come "ON" with the key "ON" and the engine not
running. When the engine is started, the MIL will turn "OFF."
- When the MIL remains "ON" while the engine is running, or when a malfunction is suspected due
to a driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) System Check
must be performed. The procedures for these checks are given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System Check. These checks will expose faults which may not be detected if other diagnostics are
performed first.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

REPAIR PROCEDURE - APPS GROUND
1. Unclamp the air cleaner housing cover, and move it to the side for access to connector C123
(16P BLK).
Page 7040
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to changes in intake manifold pressure
(vacuum). The MAP sensor signal voltage to the PCM varies from below 2 volts at idle (high
vacuum) to above 4 volts with the ignition ON, engine not running or at wide-open throttle (low
vacuum).
The MAP sensor is used to determine the following:
- Manifold pressure changes while the linear EGR flow test diagnostic is being run. Refer to DTC
P0401.
- Barometric pressure (BARO).
If the PCM detects a voltage that is lower than the possible range of the MAP sensor, DTC P0107
will be set. A signal voltage higher than the possible range of the sensor will set DTC P0108. An
intermittent low or high voltage will set DTC P1107, respectively. The PCM can detect a shifted
MAP sensor. The PCM compares the MAP sensor signal to a calculated MAP based on throttle
position and various engine load factors. If the PCM detects a MAP signal that varies excessively
above or below the calculated value, DTC P0106 will set.

This illustration shows view from the top of the vehicle. Toe-in is the measured amount the front
wheels are turned in. The actual amount of toe-in is normally a fraction of a degree. Toe-in is
measured from the center of the tire treads or from the inside of the tires. The purpose of toe-in is
to insure parallel rolling of the front wheels and to offset any small deflections of the wheel support
system which occurs when the vehicle is rolling forward. Incorrect toe-in results in excessive toe-in
and unstable steering. Toe-in is the last alignment to be set in the front end alignment procedure.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Tires: Description and Operation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Replacement wheels or tires must be equivalent to the originals in load capacity, specified
dimension and mounting configuration. Improper size or type may affect bearing life, brake
performance, speedometer/odometer calibration, vehicle ground clearance and tire clearance to
the body and chassis. All model are equipped with metric sized tubeless steel belted radial tires.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase premature and uneven
wear.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS
The original equipment tires have built-in tread wear indicators (1) to show when tires need
replacement. These indicators may appear as wide bands. When the indicators appear in two or
more grooves at three locations, tire replacement is recommended.

Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
The electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
chip that is physically soldered within the PCM. The EEPROM contains the program and the
calibration information that the PCM needs to control powertrain operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM is not replaceable. If the PCM is
replaced, the new PCM will need to be programmed. Equipment containing the correct program
and calibration for the vehicle is required to program the PCM.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference between the volume and the quantity of
air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

Transmission Shift Position Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
A/T Gear Position Indicator
How the Circuit Works
With the ignition switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied to the transmission range switch
through fuse 14. The transmission range switch sends a signal to the PCM which communicates
this information to the multiplex control unit which in turn controls the A/T gear position indicator
corresponding to the gear selected. The multiplex control unit applies voltage to the appropriate
A/T gear position indicator light in the gauge assembly, causing it to come on.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor. The fuel tank pressure sensor is a three-wire strain gauge sensor
similar to a common MAP sensor. However, the fuel tank pressure sensor has very different
electrical characteristics due to its pressure differential design. The sensor measures the difference
between the air pressure (or vacuum) in the fuel tank and the outside air pressure.
The sensor mounts at the top of the fuel pump assembly. A three-wire electrical harness connects
it to the PCM. The PCM supplies a five-volt reference voltage and a ground to the sensor. The
sensor will return a voltage between 0.1 and 4.9 volts. When the air pressure in the fuel tank is
equal to the outside air pressure, such as when the fuel cap is removed, the output voltage of the
sensor will be 1.3 to 1.7 volts.
When the air pressure in the fuel tank is 4.5 in. H2O (1.25 kPa),the sensor output voltage will be
0.5 ± 0.2 V. When there is neither vacuum nor pressure in the fuel tank, the sensor voltage will be
1.5 V. At -14 in. H2O (-3.75 kPa), the sensor voltage will be 4.5 ± 0.2 V.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).

single color. Wires belonging to a system's sub-circuits will have a colored stripe. Striped wires use
the codes found in the chart to show wire size and colors.
Abbreviations are used to indicate wire color within a circuit diagram.
How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

3. This a test determine is the problem is with the refrigerant system. If the switch is open, A/C
pressure gauges will be used to determine if the
pressure switch is faulty or if the system is partially discharged or empty.
4. Although the normal complaint will be the A/C clutch failing to engage, it is possible for a short
circuit to cause the clutch to run when A/C has not
been selected. This step is a test for that condition.
7. There is an extremely low probability that both relays will fail at the same time, so the
substitution process is one way to check the A/C Thermostat

8. Remove the bolts, the APPS, the spacer, and the accelerator link from the accelerator pedal
assembly.
9. Separate the spacer from the APPS. Clean the grease off the spacer and the accelerator link
with a clean shop towel.
10. Clean the terminals of the 10 P APPS connector (harness side) with contact cleaner. Shake the
residue out of the connector, and allow the contact cleaner to evaporate for at least 3 minutes
before reconnecting the connector.
11. Install a new APPS, the spacer, and the accelerator link onto the accelerator pedal assembly.
Leave the mounting screws loose so the sensor can be adjusted.
12. Connect the 10 P connector to the new APPS, and lock the connector in place with the CPA.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Use Worm-Style Clamps With the ATF Cooler Cleaner
The spring-style clamps used on the ATF cooler lines are made to hold the cooler lines to the ATF
cooler under normal operating conditions. The ATF Cooler Cleaner (P/N GHTTTCF6H) uses high
pressure (100 psi) to do its job. With the pump motor running, the spring-style clamps can walk off
or disconnect, and you'll wind up with a real mess to clean up in your shop.
In March of this year, we sent each Honda dealership a pair of high-quality worm-style clamps to
replace the original spring-style clamps. These clamps were part of a cooler cleaner update kit, and
securely hold the cooler line in place. They've got a blue cap for easy identification. Need some

- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.
Sooty Spark Plugs
Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and insulator of spark plug reduces the engine
performance.
Possible causes:
- Too rich mixture
- Presence of oil in combustion chamber
- Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap
Burning Electrodes
This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
Possible causes:
- Too lean mixture
- Improper heat value

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference between the volume and the quantity of
air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

Page 1965
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Page 2751
20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

4. Align the template on the mud flap. Mark the area on the mud flap that needs to be cut away with
a pencil or scribe.
5. Use a utility knife to remove the marked area.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 on the other mud flap.
7. Reinstall the mud flaps on the vehicle.

Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
WARNING: Do not smoke while working on the fuel system. Keep open flame away from the work
area. Drain fuel only into a approved container.
The resistance of the fuel tank unit varies according to the float position in the fuel tank. When the
fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, the low fuel indicator light circuit is open and the
indicator light will not come on.
The fuel level output is received by the engine or powertrain control module (ECM or PCM), and
when the fuel level drops to almost empty, the ECM or PCM closes the circuit and the Low Fuel
Indicator comes on to alert the driver.
NOTE 1: The circuit between the PCM and the gauge can be tested with the PCM Tester. In the
"ENGINE\MISC TESTS\FUEL GAUGE" menu, the PCM Tester can command the PCM to move
the gauge in 10% increments.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the difference between the volume and the quantity of
air that enters the engine. "Volume" means the size of the space to be filled. "Quantity" means the
number of air molecules that will fit into the space. This information is important to the PCM
because heavier, denser air will hold more fuel than lighter, thinner air. The PCM adjusts the
air/fuel ratio as needed depending on the MAF value. The Tech 2 reads the MAF value and
displays it in terms of grams per second (gm/s). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7 gm/s
on a fully warmed up engine. Values should change quickly on acceleration. Values should remain
stable at any given RPM. A failure in the MAF sensor or circuit will set DTC P0101, DTC P0102, or
DTC P0103.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse current at normal voltages just like a rectifier diode. At high voltages,
however, a Zener diode allows current to flow in reverse.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

8. Depress the brake pedal slowly once and hold it depressed. 9. Completely seal the delivery port
of the master cylinder with your finger, where the pipe was disconnected then release the brake
pedal slowly.
10. Release your finger from the delivery port when the brake pedal returns completely. 11. Repeat
steps 8 through 10 until the brake fluid comes out of the delivery port during step 8.
NOTE: Do not allow the fluid level in the reservoir to go below the half-way mark.
12. Reconnect the brake pipe (1) to the master cylinder and tighten the pipe. 13. Depress the brake
pedal slowly once and hold it depressed. 14. Loosen the rear wheel brake pipe (1) at the master
cylinder. 15. Retighten the brake pipe, then release the brake pedal slowly. 16. Repeat steps 13
through 15 until no air comes out of the port when the brake pipe is loosened.
NOTE: Be very careful not to allow the brake fluid to come in contact with painted surfaces.
17. Bleed the air from the front wheel brake pipe connection (2) by repeating steps 7 through 16.
Bleeding the Caliper
18. Bleed the air from each wheel in the order listed:
- Right rear caliper or wheel cylinder
- Left rear caliper or wheel cylinder
- Right front caliper
- Left front caliper
Conduct air bleeding from the wheels in the above order. If no brake fluid comes out, it suggests
that air is mixed in the master cylinder. In this case, bleed air from the master cylinder. In this case,
bleed air from the master cylinder in accordance with steps 7 through 17, and then bleed air from
the caliper or wheel cylinder.
19. Place the proper size box end wrench over the bleeder screw. 20. Cover the bleeder screw with
a transparent tube, and submerge the free end of the transparent tube in a transparent container
containing brake fluid
.
21. Pump the brake pedal slowly three (3) times (once/sec), then hold it depressed. 22. Loosen the
bleeder screw until fluid flows through the tube. 23. Retighten the bleeder screw. 24. Release the
brake pedal slowly. 25. Repeat steps 21 through 24 until the air is completely removed. It may be
necessary to repeat the bleeding procedure 10 or more times for front
wheels and 15 or more times for rear wheels.
26. Go to the next wheel in the sequence after each wheel is bled. Be sure to monitor reservoir
fluid level. 27. Depress the brake pedal to check if you feel "sponginess" after the air has been
removed from all wheel cylinders and calipers. If the pedal feels
"spongy", the entire bleeding procedure must be repeated.
28. After the bleeding operation is completed on the each individual wheel, check the level of the
brake fluid in the reservoir and replenish up to the
"MAX" level as necessary.
29. Attach the reservoir cap. If the diaphragm inside the cap is deformed, reform it and install. 30.
Stop the engine.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Speed Sensor
It consists of a sensor and a rotor. The sensor is attached to the knuckle on the front wheels and to
the rear axle case on the rear differential. The front sensor rotor is attached to the each brake rotor
by bolts. The rear rotor is press-fit in the differential case. The magnetic flux generated from
electrodes magnetized by a magnet in the sensor varies due to rotation of the rotor, and the
electromagnetic induction generates alternating voltage in the coil. This voltage draws a "sine
curve" with the frequency proportional to rotor speed and it allows detection of wheel speed.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

the codes found in the chart to show wire size and colors.
Abbreviations are used to indicate wire color within a circuit diagram.
How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

2. On the right cylinder bank, turn the camshaft pulley until its green mark is at 12 o'clock in relation
to the head surface, at the center of the head.
Turning the pulley brings the timing dots on the camshaft drive gear into their correct position: to
the left and right of the gear's centerline.
3. On the left cylinder bank, turn the camshaft pulley until its green mark is at 12 o'clock in relation
to the head surface, at the center of the head.
Then turn the pulley counterclockwise until its green mark points close to the timing belt cover bolt
hole. Turning the pulley brings the timing dots on the camshaft drive gear into their correct position:
to the left and right of the gear's centerline.
4. Install the intake and exhaust camshafts in the right cylinder bank:
- Set the camshaft marked "RI" into the intake side of the head. Make sure the single timing dot on
the camshaft gear aligns with the timing dot on the camshaft drive gear.

Description and Operation
Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The throttle position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body. The PCM monitors the voltage on the signal line and calculates throttle position. As the
throttle valve angle is changed (accelerator pedal moved), the TP sensor signal also changes. At a
closed throttle position, the output of the TP1 sensor is low. As the throttle valve opens, the output
increases so that at wide open throttle (WOT), the output voltage should be above 92 % (Tech 2
Display).
The PCM calculates fuel delivery based on throttle valve angle (driver demand). A broken or loose
TP sensor may cause intermittent bursts of fuel from an injector and unstable idle because the
PCM thinks the throttle is moving.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Starting System - Unable To Key In
Ignition Switch
Can't Turn Ignition Switch? Check for Locked Steering
Got a service customer complaining he or she can't turn the ignition switch to start the engine? The
reason could just be the steering column lock pin is engaged with the front wheels turned. Here's
what typically happens:
Some folks use the steering wheel to help support themselves while climbing in or out of the
vehicle. This is very common among elderly or disabled drivers. Doing this turns the front wheels,
which twists the tires against the ground. The twisted tires apply torque to the steering column.
With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), the steering column lock pin is engaged. But the applied
torque on the steering column binds the lock pin, making it tough to turn the ignition switch. The
ignition switch won't turn to ON (II) if the lock pin isn't disengaged from the steering column.
Tell your customer there's nothing wrong with the ignition switch itself. All he or she needs to do is
turn the steering wheel from side to side while turning the switch. This usually releases the lock pin
so the engine can be started. In some cases, though, your customer may need to give a good tug
on the wheel. This could easily happen when parking on a hill and the wheels are turned sharply
before the engine is shut off.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

SRS Operation
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver (and front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag (and front passenger's airbag).
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charge(s). If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the
voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s). 3. The
inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s).
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator light comes on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit
passes on the information from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can
be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).
Page 2512
Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor which changes its resistance based on the
temperature of air entering the engine. Low temperature produces a high resistance of 100,000
Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes low resistance of 70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F).
The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the sensor through a resistor in the PCM and monitors the
signal voltage. The voltage will be high when the incoming air is cold. The voltage will be low when
the incoming air is hot. By measuring the voltage, the PCM calculates the incoming air
temperature. The IAT sensor signal is used to adjust spark timing according to the incoming air
density.
The Tech 2 displays the temperature of the air entering the engine. The temperature should read
close to the ambient air temperature when the engine is cold and rise as underhood temperature
increases. If the engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the IAT sensor temperature
and engine coolant temperature should read close to each other. A Fault in the IAT sensor circuit
will set DTC P0112 or DTC P0113.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Recall - Potential Rear Trailing Link Bracket Corrosion
10-079
February 17, 2011
Applies To: 1998-02 Passport - ALL
Safety Recall: Corrosion On Lower Trailing Link Front Brackets
(Supersedes 10-079, dated February 11, 2011, to revise the information marked by the black
bars/shown with asterisks)
REVISION SUMMARY
BACKGROUND
Over time, in areas that use road salt, excessive corrosion can develop on or near the brackets
attaching the lower trailing links to the frame. If the corrosion reaches a heavy stage, a clunking
noise may be heard during acceleration and braking. In rare cases of severe corrosion, a trailing
link could separate from the frame. If this happens, vehicle handling could be affected, increasing
the risk of a crash.
Road salt is commonly used in an area known as the salt belt." As shown in the shaded area of the
map, the salt belt includes these states:
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Washington D.C.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles that were originally purchased or currently registered in a salt belt
state will be sent a notification of this campaign.
Two different notifications are being sent: one for vehicles less than 10 years old (as of September
22, 2010), and another for vehicles more than 10 years old (as of September 22, 2010). Examples
of both customer notifications are at the end of this service bulletin.
Before beginning work on a vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on an iN VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a campaign completion label on the back edge of the driver's door, just below
the door latch. This label indicates that the campaign has already been completed. Complete the
recall repair on an eligible vehicle even if the vehicle is now located in a non-salt belt state.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where

Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse current at normal voltages just like a rectifier diode. At high voltages,

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

4. Remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe.
- Because of the expansion and contraction of the metal in the exhaust system over time, this may
be difficult if the engine temperature is below 48 °C (120 °F).
Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT:
- A special anti-seize compound on the HO2S threads. This compound consists of glass beads
suspended in a liquid graphite solution. The graphite burns away with engine heat, but the glass
beads will remain, making the sensor easier to remove.
- New or service sensors will already have the compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is
removed and is to be reinstalled for any reason, the threads must have anti-seize compound
applied.
1. Apply anti-seize compound or the equivalent to the threads of the oxygen sensor, if necessary.
2. Install the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe in its original position.
Tighten Tighten the oxygen sensor to 55 N.m (40 lb ft.).

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Locations
Timing Marks and Indicators: Locations
IGNITION IS NOT ADJUSTABLE
Ignition timing is done by the electronic ignition (EI) that directly fires the spark plugs from ignition
coils through spark plug wires without using a distributor. A pair of ignition coils for the cylinders
having different phases by 36O° (No.1 and No.4,No.2 and No.5,No.3 and No.6) are fired
simultaneously.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less energy to fire its ignition plug, energy from the
ignition coils can be utilized to fire the mating cylinder on compression stroke. After additional 36O°
rotation, respective cylinder strokes are reversed.
The EI consists of six ignition coils,ignition control module, crank angle sensor, powertrain control
module (PCM) and other components. The ignition coils are connected with the PCM by means of
a 32 pin connector.
The ignition control module turns on/off the primary circuit of ignition coils, and also it controls the
ignition timing at the engine speed below 538 rpm.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates the crank angle sensor which then sends
information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil to the PCM. Further, the EI
employs ignition control (IC) to control similar to a distributor system.
By receiving signals such as crank position,engine speed, water temperature and Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP), the PCM controls the ignition timing.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse current at normal voltages just like a rectifier diode. At high voltages,
however, a Zener diode allows current to flow in reverse.
Fuses
Page 5038
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection
Inspection and Repair
The spark plug affects entire engine performance and therefore its inspection is very important.
- Check electrode and insulator for presence of cracks, and replace if any.
- Check electrode for wear, and replace if necessary.
- Check gasket for damage, and replace if necessary.
- Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter, and replace if faulty.
- Adjust spark plug gap to 1.05 mm (0.04 in).
NOTE: Do not adjust the spark plugs gap without new spark plugs.
- Do not damage to tip of spark plugs.
- Do not cleaning the spark plugs. If require the cleaning it due to heavy dirt, it is allowed only 20
seconds to be used spark plug cleaner.
- Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is extremely dirty.
- Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) if fuel and electrical systems are normal.
- Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely
burned.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

5. Insert a block of wood into the caliper and force out the piston by blowing compressed air into
the caliper at the flexible hose attachment. This
procedure must be done prior to removal of the dust boot. Remove piston.
WARNING: DO NOT PLACE YOUR FINGERS IN FRONT OF THE PISTON IN AN ATTEMPT TO
CATCH OR PROTECT IT WHEN APPLYING COMPRESSED AIR. THIS COULD RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: Use just enough air to ease the piston out of the bore. If the piston is blown out, it may
be damaged.
6. Remove dust boot: piston. 7. Remove piston seal. 8. Remove bleeder with cap. 9. Remove
caliper body.
Inspection and Repair
Make necessary parts replacement, if wear, damage, corrosion or any other abnormal conditions
are found through inspection. Check the following parts: Rotor
- Cylinder body
- Cylinder bore
- Piston
- Guide bolt, lock bolt
- Support bracket
NOTE: The piston seal, boot ring and dust boot are to be replaced each time the caliper is
overhauled. Discard these used rubber parts and replace them with new ones.
Reassembly
1. Install caliper body. 2. Install bleeder with cap and tighten the cap to the specified torque.
Torque: 8 Nm (69 inch lbs.)
3. Apply special rubber grease to the piston seal and cylinder wall, then insert the piston seal into
the cylinder. The special rubber grease is included
in the repair kit.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

17. Recheck the valve clearance using the Go/No-Go method (see step 4).
- If the clearance is OK, repeat steps 6 thru 17 for the other valves needing adjustment.
- If the clearance is still incorrect, repeat steps 6 through 17 until it is correct, then adjust the
remaining valves.
18. Turn the camshaft pulleys until the single timing dot (right cylinder bank) and dual timing dots
(left cylinder bank) align with the single timing
dots on the camshaft drive gears.
19. Install the cylinder head covers with new gaskets. Torque the cover bolts to 9 N.m (6.5 lb-ft).
Off-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
4. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
5. Rotate the camshaft pulley until the dual timing dots (exhaust camshaft) and single timing dot
(intake camshaft) align with the timing dots on the
camshaft drive gear.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Catalyst Monitor Heated Oxygen Sensors
Three-way catalytic converters are used to control emissions of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon
monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The catalyst within the converters promotes a
chemical reaction. This reaction oxidizes the HC and CO present in the exhaust gas and converts
them into harmless water vapor and carbon dioxide. The catalyst also reduces NOx by converting it
to nitrogen. The PCM can monitor this process using the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2
heated oxygen sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the Bank 2 HO2S 1 sensors produce an output
signal which indicates the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust gas entering the three-way
catalytic converter. The Bank 1 HO2S 2 and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors produce an output signal
which indicates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst. This indicates the catalyst's ability to
efficiently convert exhaust gases. If the catalyst is operating efficiently, the Bank 1 HO2S 1 and the
Bank 2 HO2S 1 signals will be more active than the signals produced by the Bank 1 HO2S 2 and
the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors.
The catalyst monitor sensors operate the same as the fuel control sensors. The Bank 1 HO2S 2
and the Bank 2 HO2S 2 sensors main function is catalyst monitoring, but they also have a limited
role in fuel control. If a sensor output indicates a voltage either above or below the 450 mV bias
voltage for an extended period of time, the PCM will make a slight adjustment to fuel trim to ensure
that fuel delivery is correct for catalyst monitoring.
A problem with the Bank 1 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0137, P0138, or P0140, depending
on the specific condition. A problem with the Bank 2 HO2S 2 signal circuit will set DTC P0157,
P0158, or P0160, depending on the specific condition. A fault in the heated oxygen sensor heater
element or its ignition feed or ground will result in lower sensor response. This may cause incorrect
catalyst monitor diagnostic results.

Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value
based on temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes a low resistance of
70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F). The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through resistors
in the PCM and measures the voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 85 °C (185 °F). It then stabilizes when the thermostat opens. If the
engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine coolant sensor
circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or P1115.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
System Components
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU), three Wheel Speed Sensors, Warning Light, and
G-sensor.
Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) The Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) consists of
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control circuits, fault detector, and a fail-safe. The signal received
from each sensor activates the hydraulic unit accordingly and cancels the ABS to return to normal
braking if a malfunction occurs in the ABS system. The EHCU has a self-diagnosing function which
can indicate faulty circuits during diagnosis. The EHCU is mounted on the engine compartment
rear right side. It consists of a Motor, Plunger Pump, Solenoid Valves. Solenoid Valves: Reduces or
holds the caliper fluid pressure for each front disc brake or both rear disc brakes according to the
signal sent from the EHCU. Reservoir: Temporarily holds the brake fluid that returns from the front
and rear disc brake caliper so that pressure of front disc brake caliper can be reduced smoothly.
Plunger Pump: Feeds the brake fluid held in the reservoir to the master cylinder. Motor: Drives the
pump according to the signal from EHCU. Check Valve: Controls the brake fluid flow.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 5527
Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Starter Motor: Description and Operation
Cranking Circuit
The cranking system consists of a battery, starter, starter switch, starter relay, etc. These main
components are connected.
Starter
The cranking system employs a magnetic type reduction starter in which the motor shaft is also
used as a pinion shaft. When the starter switch is turned on, the contacts of magnetic switch are
closed, and the armature rotates. At the same time, the plunger is attracted, and the pinion is
pushed forward by the shift lever to mesh with the ring gear.
Then, the ring gear runs to start the engine. When the engine starts and the starter switch is turned
off, the plunger returns, the pinion is disengaged from the ring gear, and the armature stops
rotation. When the engine speed is higher than the pinion, the pinion idles, so that the armature is
not driven.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

Brake Fluid: Service and Repair
Deterioration of Brake Fluid
Using any other brake fluid than specified or brake fluid with mineral oil or water mixed in will drop
the boiling point of brake fluid. It may, in turn, result in vapor lock or deteriorated rubber parts of the
hydraulic system. Be sure to change the brake fluid at specified intervals. If the rubber parts are
deteriorated, remove all the system parts and clean them with alcohol. Prior to reassembly, dry the
cleaned parts with air to remove the alcohol. Replace all the hoses and rubber parts of the system.

ATF Level Check
Fluid - A/T: Service and Repair ATF Level Check
Checking Transmission Fluid Level and Condition
Checking fluid level and condition (color and odor) at regular intervals will provide early diagnosis
information about the transmission. This information may be used to correct a condition that, if not
detected early, could result in major transmission repairs.
IMPORTANT: When new, automatic transmission fluid is red in color. As the vehicle is driven, the
transmission fluid will begin to look darker in color. The color may eventually appear light brown.
A dark brown color with burnt odor may indicate excessive fluid deterioration and signal a need for
fluid change.
Fluid Level
When adding or changing fluid, use only DEXRON III. Refer to Maintenance and Lubrication in
General Information for maintenance information and servicing interval.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling will cause foaming, loss of fluid, abnormal shifting and
possible damage to the transmission.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground and apply the parking brake firmly. 2. Check fluid level with
engine running at idle.
NOTE: Be sure that transmission fluid temperature is below 30°C (86°F).
3. Move the selector lever through all gear ranges. 4. Move the selector lever to "Park". 5. Let
engine idle for 3 minutes and open the overfill screw (1). 6. Add released transmission fluid until it
flows out over the overfill screw opening.
7. Let engine idle until a fluid temperature between 32°C (90°F) and 57°C (135°F) is reached, then
close the overfill screw (1).
Torque: 38 Nm (28 ft. lbs.)
NOTE: To prevent fluid leaks, the overfill screw and oil drain screws gasket must be replaced each
time these screws are removed.
NOTE: Check transmission fluid temperature with scan tool.
Minimum fluid level 57°C (135°F) Maximum fluid level 32°C (90°F)
CAUTION: Do not open overfill screw with engine stopped.
CAUTION: DO NO T CHECK FLUID LEVEL UNDER THESE CONDITIONS: Immediately after driving at sustained highway speeds.
- In heavy city traffic during hot weather.
- If vehicle is towing a trailer.
If the vehicle has been operated under these conditions, shut the engine off and allow the vehicle
to "cool" for thirty (30) minutes. After the cool down period, restart the vehicle and continue from

Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electronic components used in the PCM are often designed to carry very low voltage. Electronic
components are susceptible to damage caused by electrostatic discharge. Less than 100 volts of
static electricity can cause damage to some electronic components. By comparison, it takes as
much as 4000 volts for a person to feel even the zap of a static discharge.
There are several ways for a person to become statically charged. The most common methods of
charging are by friction and induction.
- An example of charging by friction is a person sliding across a vehicle seat.
- Charge by induction occurs when a person with well insulated shoes stands near a highly
charged object and momentary touches ground. Charges of the same polarity are drained off
leaving the person highly charged with the opposite polarity. Static charges can cause damage,
therefore it is important to use care when handling and testing electronic components.
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage, follow these guidelines:
- Do not touch the PCM connector pins or soldered components on the PCM circuit board.
- Do not open the replacement part package until the part is ready to be installed.
- Before removing the pan: from the package, ground the package to a known good ground on the
vehicle.
- If the part has been handled while sliding across the seat, while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a known good ground before installing the part.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids
Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation
Parking Brake Switch
With the ignition switch in ON or START, battery voltage is applied through fuse 11 to the brake
system warning light. When the parking brake is applied, the parking brake switch closes and
provides a ground for the light. The brake system warning light goes on to remind the driver that
the parking brake is applied.

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
Engine Compression Test Procedure
1. Start and run the engine until the engine reaches normal operating temperature. 2. Turn the
engine off. 3. Remove all the spark plugs. 4. Remove ignition coil fuse (15A) and disable the
ignition system. 5. Remove the fuel pump relay from the relay and fuse box. 6. Engage the starter
and check that the cranking speed is approximately 300 rpm. 7. Install cylinder compression gauge
into spark plug hole. 8. With the throttle valve opened fully, keep the starter engaged until the
compression gage needle reaches the maximum level. Note the reading. 9. Repeat the test with
each cylinder. If the compression pressure obtained falls below the limit, engine overhaul is
necessary.
Limit: 1000 kPa (145 psi)

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Page 7482
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 677
it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.
Page 3043
Distinct Of Circuit By Wire Base Color
All wires have color-coded insulation. Wires belonging to a system's main harness will have a
single color. Wires belonging to a system's sub-circuits will have a colored stripe. Striped wires use
the codes found in the chart to show wire size and colors.
Abbreviations are used to indicate wire color within a circuit diagram.
How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Powertrain Control Module: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Diagnosis
To read and clear diagnostic trouble codes, use a Tech 2.
IMPORTANT: Use of a Tech 2 is recommended to clear diagnostic trouble codes from the PCM
memory. Diagnostic trouble codes can also be cleared by turning the ignition "OFF" and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM for 30 seconds. Turning off the ignition and
disconnecting the battery power from the PCM will cause all diagnostic information in the PCM
memory to be cleared. Therefore, all the diagnostic tests will have to be re-run.
Since the PCM can have a failure which may affect only one circuit, following the diagnostic
procedures will determine which circuit has a problem and where it is.
If a diagnostic chart indicates that the PCM connections or the PCM is the cause of a problem, and
the PCM is replaced, but this does not correct the problem, one of the following may be the reason:
- There is a problem with the PCM terminal connections. The terminals may have to be removed
from the connector in order to check them properly.
- EEPROM program is not correct for the application. Incorrect components or reprogramming the
PCM with the wrong EEPROM program may cause a malfunction and may or may not set a DTC.
- The problem is intermittent. This means that the problem is not present at the time the system is
being checked. In this case, refer to the Symptom Diagnosis and make a careful physical
inspection of all component and wiring associated with the affected system.
- There is a shorted solenoid, relay coil, or harness. Solenoids and relays are turned "ON" and
"OFF" by the PCM using internal electronic switches called drivers. A shorted solenoid, relay coil,
or harness will not damage the PCM but will cause the solenoid or relay to be inoperative.
General Precautions
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions General Precautions
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.

The SDM is connected to the SRS wiring harness by a 24 - pin connector. This harness connector
uses a shorting clip across certain terminals in the contact area. This shorting clip connects the
"AIR BAG" warning lamp to ground when the SDM harness connector is disconnected or
Connector Position Assurance (CPA) is not inserted even If completely connected. This will cause
the "AIR BAG" warning lamp to come "ON" steady whenever the ignition switch is at the ON or

17. Recheck the valve clearance using the Go/No-Go method (see step 4).
- If the clearance is OK, repeat steps 6 thru 17 for the other valves needing adjustment.
- If the clearance is still incorrect, repeat steps 6 through 17 until it is correct, then adjust the
remaining valves.

Off-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
4. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
5. Rotate the camshaft pulley until the dual timing dots (exhaust camshaft) and single timing dot

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

TIRE REPAIR GUIDELINES
Never repair tires worn below 2/32 inch of tread.
Never repair a tire without removing the tire from the wheel for internal inspection.
Never repair a tire with a tread injury larger than 1/4 inch (6 mm).
Never use only a plug (stem) or a patch only to repair a tire injury.
NOTE:
If the angle of the tire injury exceeds 25 degrees, you must use the two-piece repair system as
recommended by the RMA.
MICHELIN PAX SYSTEM SUPPORT RING INSPECTION
PAX System support rings are not repairable, under any circumstances, but they can be reused if
no damage is found during a thorough inspection. If a PAX System tire ran flat or underinflated,
dismount the tire from the wheel and inspect the wheel, tire, and support ring for damage. Refer to
the Michelin PAX Support Rings Technical Bulletin in ISIS. Enter SEARCH BY PUBLICATION,
select Job Aids, then select Michelin PAX Support Rings Technical Bulletin from the list.

Radial Tire Waddle
Radial Tire Waddle
Waddle is side-to-side movement at the front and/or rear of the car. It can be caused by the steel
belt not being straight within the tire, or by excessive lateral runout of the tire or wheel. It is most
noticeable at low speed, about 8 to 48 km/h (5 to 30 mph). It may also cause rough ride at 80 to
113 km/h (50 to 70 mph). The car can be road tested to see which end of the car has the faulty tire.
If the tire causing the waddle is on the rear, the rear end of the car will "waddle". From the driver's
seat, it feels as if someone is pushing on the side of the car. If the faulty tire is on the front, the
waddle is more easily seen. The front sheet metal appears to be moving back and forth. It feels as
if the driver's seat is the pivot point in the car. Another more time-consuming method of determining
the faulty tire is substituting tire and wheel assemblies that are known to be good. Follow these
steps: 1. Drive the car to determine if the waddle is coming from the front or rear. 2. Install tire and
wheel assemblies known to be good (from a similar car) in place of those on the end of the car
which is waddling. If the waddle
cannot be isolated to front or rear, start with the rear tires.
3. Road test again. If improvement is noted, install the original tire and wheel assemblies one at a
time until the faulty tire is found. If no
improvement is noted, install tires known to be good in place of all four. Then, install the originals
one at a time until the faulty tire is found.
Radial Tire Lead/Pull
Radial Tire Lead/Pull
"Lead/Pull" is vehicle deviation from a straight path, on a level road with no pressure on the
steering wheel. Lead is usually caused by: 1. Poorly manufactured radial tires. 2. Uneven brake
adjustment. 3. Wheel alignment. The way in which a tire is built can produce lead in a car. An
example of this is placement of the belt. Off-center belts on radial tires can cause the tire to
develop a side force while rolling straight down the road and the tire will tend to roll like a cone. The
"Radial Tire Lead/Pull Correction" chart should be used to make sure that front wheel alignment is
not mistaken for tire lead. Rear tires will not cause lead/pull.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

7. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
8. Connect the 10P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.
9. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the

Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these

Grounding Point: Diagnostic Aids
Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Function Check
Use a Tech 2 to check the TP sensor output voltage at closed throttle.
- The voltage should be TP1 about 0.4 V, TP2 about 4.6 V and TP3 about 4.6 V.
- If the reading is abnormal value, check the throttle shaft to see if it is binding.
Page 6015
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Tip
SOURCE: Honda Service News March 2003
TITLE: Installing an In-Tank Fuel Pump/Sending Unit? Don't Forget a New Base Gasket, Locknut,
and Fuel Line Retainers
APPLIES TO: See Models Listed In Illustration
SERVICE TIP: Whenever you install an in-tank fuel pump/sending unit into a plastic fuel tank, the
S/M tells you to install a new base gasket. But did you know you also need to replace the locknut
and the fuel line retainers as well? Make a note in the Fuel Supply System subsection of the
appropriate S/Ms to also replace the locknut and the fuel line retainers. Then follow this handy
chart to order the appropriate parts.
Install the new gasket on the fuel tank side, not on the fuel pump/sending unit side; this ensures
that the gasket doesn't get pinched or rolled. If you don't install the fuel pump/sending unit
correctly, the MIL could come on with an EVAP control system leakage DTC set. The gasket and
the locknut are currently available in Honda parts stock under separate part numbers. But soon,
they'll be packaged under a single part number. The fuel sending unit, gasket, and locknut will also
be packaged together under a single part number. The gasket and the locknut will then be
discontinued as separate part numbers.

Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Bleeding Brake Hydraulic System
This procedure has been updated by TSB Manual Update # 01-016 dated January 30, 2001.
BLEEDING BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A bleeding operation is necessary to remove air from the hydraulic brake system whenever air is
introduced into the hydraulic system. It may be necessary to bleed the hydraulic system at all four
brakes if air has been introduced through a low fluid level or by disconnecting brake pipes at the
master cylinder. If a brake pipe is disconnected at one wheel, only that wheel cylinder/caliper
needs to be bled. If the pipes are disconnected at any fitting located between the master cylinder
and brakes, then the brake system served by the disconnected pipe must be bled. 1. For 4-Wheel
Antilock Brake System (ABS) equipped vehicle, be sure to remove the ABS main fuse 60A located
at the relay and fuse box before
bleeding air. If you attempt to bleed air without removing the main fuse, air cannot be let out
thoroughly, and this may cause damage to the hydraulic unit. After bleeding air, be sure to replace
the ABS main fuse back to its original position.
2. Set the parking brake completely, then start the engine.
NOTE: The vacuum booster will be damaged if the bleeding operation is performed with the engine
off.
NOTE: To avoid trapping air bubbles in the ABS hydraulic unit while bleeding the brakes, the
hydraulic unit must be tilted forward at a 15-degree angle or greater. Before bleeding, check the
angle of the ABS hydraulic unit with an angle locator level. If needed, raise the rear of the vehicle to
get the proper angle.
The angle locator level (P/N SUN-YA328A) is available through the Honda Tool and Equipment
Program.
3. Remove the master cylinder reservoir cap. 4. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with brake fluid.
Keep the reservoir at least half full during the air bleeding operation. 5. Always use new brake fluid
for replenishment. 6. When replenishing the brake fluid reservoir, carefully pour in the brake fluid to
prevent air bubbles from entering the brake system. When the
master cylinder is replaced or overhauled, first bleed the air from the master cylinder, then from
each wheel cylinder and caliper following the procedures described.

4. When inserting the piston into the cylinder, use finger pressure only and do not use a mallet or
other impact tool, since damage to the cylinder wall
or piston seal can result. Install piston.
5. Apply special grease (approximately 1 g) to the piston and attach the dust boot to the piston and
caliper. Insert the dust boot ring into the dust
boot.
6. Install guide bolt and lock bolt dust boot.
7. Install the dust boot on the support bracket after applying special grease (approximately 1 g)
onto the dust boot inner surface. Apply special
grease onto the lock bolt and guide bolt setting hole of the support bracket.

The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Diodes
A rectifier diode works like a one way valve. It allows current to flow only in the direction of the
arrow.
A Zener diode blocks reverse current at normal voltages just like a rectifier diode. At high voltages,
however, a Zener diode allows current to flow in reverse.
Fuses

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

16. Tear off a corner from a business card or some other suitable material. Insert the card piece
between the cable slider and the interlock pin.
17. Pry out the adjuster clip, then snap it back into place. Remove the card piece. Make sure the
ignition switch turns to LOCK, then press firmly on the shift lever pushbutton, and pull down on the
shift lever to make sure the lever is locked in R.
18. Plug in the connectors for the accessory power outlet, then reinstall the front console.
19. On 4WD models, reinstall the knob on the transfer control lever.
20. Plug in the connectors for the POWER and WINTER switches, then reinstall the rear console.
21. Move the shift lever to L. Plug in the connectors for the cigarette lighter, then reinstall the lower
cluster assembly.
22. Reinstall the upper steering column cover.
23. Reinstall the driver's dashboard lower cover.
24. Reinstall the driver's kick panel.
25. Make sure the hood is fully closed.

TITLE: Identifying A/T Shift Solenoids
APPLIES TO: 1994-02 Passport
SERVICE TIP: If you've ever replaced the A/T shift solenoids in a 1994-02 Passport, you're
probably aware that the S/M and parts catalog descriptions for the solenoids don't exactly match.
Use this handy chart when ordering replacement solenoids:
When installing these solenoids in the valve body, make sure you don't get them mixed up or install
them in the wrong position. It's easy to do since these solenoids look almost identical. Fortunately,
each solenoid has some of its part number engraved on its connector. Solenoid A has 593;
solenoid B has 224.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

^ If the wheels are pointed to the right, shorten the driver's side tie-rod, and lengthen the
passenger's side.
^ If the wheels are pointed to the left, shorten the passenger's side tie-rod, and lengthen the
driver's side.
^ Each 360° turn of the tie-rod equals about 8 mm of steering wheel adjustment. For example, a
steering wheel is off-center by 4 mm with the front wheels pointed right (when the steering wheel is
centered). To correct the off-center, shorten the driver's side tie-rod by a half-turn, and lengthen the
passenger's side tie-rod by a half-turn.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Service and Repair
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the MAF sensor. 3. Loosen the clamps which secure
the intake air duct and the air cleaner to the MAF sensor. 4. Remove the intake air duct from the
MAF sensor.
5. Remove the MAF sensor from the air cleaner.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the MAF sensor on the air cleaner with the clamp.
Page 3101
20. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 22.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 21.
21. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the reference voltage, and disconnect each
sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP TPS, CKP and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage reads 5.0
volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 14.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 14.
22. Using a jumper wire, connect the reference voltage of each circuit to its signal input, and view
the APP Sensor values in the Engine Data List. APP Sensor 1 should have a value of 99%, and
APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 should each have a value of 0%.
^ If the values are not as specified, troubleshoot for high resistance on the signal input or a PCM
malfunction. Repair the circuit or replace the PCM, then repeat step 14.
^ If the values are as specified, the problem may be intermittent. Disconnect the 10 P connector
from the modified APPS, and connect it to the new APPS; then repeat step 14. Wiggle the APPS
wires as you go through the adjustment procedure to find the intermittent problem.
23. Install the accelerator pedal assembly, and torque the bolts to 10 N.m (7 lb-ft).

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Tip
SOURCE: Honda Service News March 2003
TITLE: Installing an In-Tank Fuel Pump/Sending Unit? Don't Forget a New Base Gasket, Locknut,
and Fuel Line Retainers
APPLIES TO: See Models Listed In Illustration
SERVICE TIP: Whenever you install an in-tank fuel pump/sending unit into a plastic fuel tank, the
S/M tells you to install a new base gasket. But did you know you also need to replace the locknut
and the fuel line retainers as well? Make a note in the Fuel Supply System subsection of the
appropriate S/Ms to also replace the locknut and the fuel line retainers. Then follow this handy
chart to order the appropriate parts.
Install the new gasket on the fuel tank side, not on the fuel pump/sending unit side; this ensures
that the gasket doesn't get pinched or rolled. If you don't install the fuel pump/sending unit
correctly, the MIL could come on with an EVAP control system leakage DTC set. The gasket and
the locknut are currently available in Honda parts stock under separate part numbers. But soon,
they'll be packaged under a single part number. The fuel sending unit, gasket, and locknut will also
be packaged together under a single part number. The gasket and the locknut will then be
discontinued as separate part numbers.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Description and Operation
Transmission Temperature Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) Sensor
The transmission fluid temperature sensor is a thermistor which changes its resistance based on
the temperature of the transmission fluid. For a complete description of the TFT sensor, refer to
4L30-E Automatic Transmission Diagnosis (Transmission Control System Diagnosis).
A failure in the TFT sensor or associated wiring will cause DTC P0712 or DTC P0713 to set. In this
case, engine coolant temperature will be substituted for the TFT sensor value and the transmission
will operate normally.
SRS Operation
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver (and front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag (and front passenger's airbag).
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charge(s). If battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the
voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s). 3. The
inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s).
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator light comes on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit
passes on the information from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can
be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).

Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
Alignment: All Technical Service Bulletins Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
9. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap each rear tire back to the front, one at a time, and test-drive
the vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Replace the bad tire, then return the vehicle to your
customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec after swapping the front and rear tires, go to step 10.
10. Test-drive a known-good donor vehicle on the same road you used earlier, and check its pull.
11. Swap all four tires from the donor vehicle with the tires on your customer¡C■s vehicle.

Distinct Of Circuit By Wire Base Color
All wires have color-coded insulation. Wires belonging to a system's main harness will have a
single color. Wires belonging to a system's sub-circuits will have a colored stripe. Striped wires use
the codes found in the chart to show wire size and colors.
Abbreviations are used to indicate wire color within a circuit diagram.
How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.
Using/Identifying Connector Terminal Views
How to Use Connector Terminal Views
To see the configuration of a connector's cavities, look up its view number in the Connector Views.
Each view includes the color of the connector, where
Page 3023
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

NOTE:
Do not install a pop nut into this hole.
30. Using the 1/2 in. drill motor and the 33/64 in. bit, drill 32 final holes (16 per bracket) where you
made the pilot holes.
31. Test fit a pop nut into each of the 32 holes to be sure drilling is complete.
NOTE:
If a pop nut doesn't fit, don't try to try to enlarge the hole by pivoting the drill bit. Doing this creates
an uneven seating surface for the pop nut. If the pop nut doesn't fit, your drill bit is worn out;
sharpen or replace the drill bit, then red redrill the affected final hole(s).
32. Insert an air gun into the frame rail hole, and blow up and down the inside of the frame rails to
move any rust or metal debris away from the area.
33. Attach the pop nut installer to shop air, and adjust the tool's air pressure regulator to between
72 and 87 psi.
NOTE:
^ The tool's air pressure is critical: if it's too low, the pop nuts cannot be correctly installed; if it's too
high, the tool will be damaged.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

Description and Operation
Lateral Accelerometer: Description and Operation
G-SENSOR/LATERAL ACCELEROMETER
The G-sensor installed inside the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) detects the vehicle
deceleration speed and sends a signal to the EHCU. In 4WD operation, all four wheels may be
decelerated in almost the same phase, since all wheels are connected mechanically.
This tendency is noticeable particularly on roads with low friction coefficient, and the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) control is adversely affected.
The G-sensor judges whether the friction coefficient of road surface is low or high, and changes the
EHCU's operating system to ensure ABS control.

3. Connect the universal connect set and the Tracer- Stick dye capsule:
(a) Be sure the quick coupler and control valves on the set are closed.
(b) Remove the low-side service port sealing cap, and connect the set to the low-side service port
using the quick coupler.
(c) Hold a new dye capsule so that the embossed arrow is pointing up. Remove the black end cap,
and carefully attach the capsule to the control valve fitting.
NOTE:
The capsule must be held with the embossed arrow pointing up or the dye will leak out of the
capsule.
(d) Turn the capsule so the embossed arrow is pointing down. Remove the orange end cap, and
carefully attach the service valve fitting provided in the kit (finger tight).
NOTE:
The capsule must be held with the embossed arrow pointing down or the dye will leak out.
4. Connect the NC service equipment:
With the universal connect set and dye capsule attached to the vehicle's low-side service port,
connect the A/C refrigerant recovery and charging station's low-side hose quick coupler to the
service valve fitting. Open the blue hand-wheel valves on both quick couplers. Leave the control
valve (black knob) on the universal connect set closed.
NOTE:
* ^ If you have recovered refrigerant to weigh it as part of your diagnostics, or if there is a low
charge, it is more efficient to recharge the system using normal procedures before installing the
universal connect set. Dye can then be added using approximately 0.05 lb (0.02 kg) of refrigerant.*
^ You do not need to connect the service equipment's high-side hose to the vehicle to install the
dye. If the high-side hose is connected, make sure its coupler valve is closed before proceeding.
^ Do not use the A/C recovery and charging station to recover or evacuate the A/C system when a
full dye capsule is attached. The dye will be drawn into the service equipment instead of being
added to the vehicle's A/C system.
5. Inspect the A/C system for leaks:
(a) Run the A/C system for at least 15 minutes to circulate the dye through the system. Large leaks
will be seen immediately as a fluorescent yellow glow. Smaller leaks may require at least 24 hours
of vehicle operation before they become visible. Operate the A/C system as much as possible
during this time to keep the dye circulating.
(b) Stop the vehicle's engine and inspect the system for leaks using the ultraviolet (UV) lamp and
fluorescence-enhancing glasses from the kit.

The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the
SRS coil assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the "AIR BAG" warning lamp in the
instrument cluster. The SDM, SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag assembly,
passenger air bag assembly and connector wire make up the deployment loops. The function of
the deployment loops is to supply current through air bag assembly, which will cause deployment
of the air bags in the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30 degrees off the centerline
of the vehicle. The air bag assemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy when the SDM
detects vehicle velocity changes severe enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal.
The electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and then compared to a value stored in
memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the air bag assembly deploying the air bags.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation Precautions
Transmission Speed Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation
Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The coolant temperature gauge consists of two intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. When voltage from fuse 11 is applied to the coils, a magnetic field is generated. This
causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to move. The magnetic field is controlled by the
sender. As the resistance in the sender varies, current through the gauge coils changes. The
gauge needle moves according to the changing magnetic field.

Jump Starting: Service and Repair
Jump Starting
Jump Starting with an Auxiliary (Booster) Battery
CAUTION: Never push or tow the vehicle in an attempt to start it. Serious damage to the emission
system as well as other vehicle parts will result. Treat both the discharged battery and the booster
battery with great care when using jumper cables. Carefully follow the jump starting procedure,
being careful at all times to avoid sparking.
WARNING: FAILURE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE COULD
RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING:
1. Serous personal injury, particularly to your eyes. 2. Property damage from a battery explosion,
battery acid, or an electrical fire. 3. Damage to the electronic components of one or both vehicles
particularly.
Never expose the battery to an open flame or electrical spark. Gas generated by the battery may
catch fire or explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before working around the battery. Protect your eyes
by wearing an approved set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with your eyes or skin.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with fabrics or painted surfaces.
Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, skin, fabric, or a painted surface, immediately
and thoroughly rinse the affected area with clean tap water. Never allow metal tools or jumper
cables to come in contact with the positive battery terminal, or any other metal surface of the
vehicle. This will protect against a short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of reach of young children.
Jump Starting Procedure
1. Set the vehicle parking brake.
If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, place the selector level in the "PARK"
position.
If the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, place the shift lever in the "NEUTRAL"
position. Turn "OFF" the ignition.
Turn "OFF" all lights and any other accessory requiring electrical power.
2. Look at the built-in hydrometer.
If the indication area of the built-in hydrometer is completely clear, do not try to jump start.
3. Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other. This will cause a ground connection, effectively
neutralizing the charging procedure.
Be sure that the booster battery has a 12 volt rating.
4. Attach one end of the remaining cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end of the same cable to a solid engine ground (such as the air conditioning
compressor bracket or the generator mounting bracket) of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
The ground connection must be at least 450 mm (18 in.) from the battery of the vehicle whose
battery is being charged.
WARNING: NEVER ATTACH THE END OF THE JUMPER CABLE DIRECTLY TO THE
NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF THE DEAD BATTERY.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery. Make sure that all unnecessary electrical
accessories have been turned "OFF". 6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery. 7. To
remove the jumper cables, follow the above directions in reverse order.
Be sure to first disconnect the negative cable from the vehicle with the discharged battery.

3. Inspect the end of either hose in the fuel hose assembly. Record the lot number.
4. Check the lot numbers you recorded.
^ If the fuel return hose has the lot number 0707 or both the fuel return hose and the fuel hose
assembly have the lot number 0707, go to FUEL RETURN HOSE REPLACEMENT
^ If only the fuel hose assembly has the lot number 0707, go to FUEL HOSE ASSEMBLY
REPLACEMENT
^ If you cannot determine the lot number of a hose, replace the hose. Go to the appropriate
procedure.
^ If none of the hoses have the lot number 0707 go to COMPLETION PROCEDURE.
FUEL RETURN HOSE REPLACEMENT
1. Slide back the clamps on both ends of the fuel return hose.
2. Remove the fuel return hose. Fuel will come out of the hose and fuel lines; wrap the hose with
shop towels and use a container to catch the fuel.
3. Install the new fuel return hose with the original hose clamps.
^ If only the fuel return hose had the 0707 lot number, go to COMPLETION PROCEDURE.
^ If the fuel hose assembly also has the 0707 lot number, go to FUEL HOSE ASSEMBLY

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

CAMSHAFT SUBGEAR PRELOADING, GEAR TIMING, AND CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION
NOTE:
- The V6 engine has a "non-interference" design. This means the valves never contact the pistons,
even when the valves or camshafts are not correctly timed, or even if a valve is fully open and its
piston is at top dead center (TDC).
- The ratio between the camshaft drive gear and the camshaft gears is 1.33 to 1. This means the
timing dots on a correctly timed camshaft will only align with the dots on the camshaft drive gears
every 4th turn of the camshaft pulley.
- The left and right intake camshafts are different. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear, the
left intake camshaft is marked "LI," and it has dual timing dots; the right intake camshaft is marked
"RI," and it has a single timing dot.
- The left and right exhaust camshafts are the same. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear,
both camshafts are marked "LE" and "RE and both have dual timing dots and a single dot.
1. Before you install the camshafts, preload the subgears (preloading must be done whenever you
remove the bearing caps from a camshaft):
- Make sure the spring is installed between the camshaft gear and the subgear.
- With the camshaft held in a soft-jawed vise, attach the gear spring lever (T/N J-42656) to the
subgear, then turn the subgear until its threaded hole lines up with the hole in the camshaft gear.
- Lock the subgear to the camshaft gear with a 5 x 0.5 mm bolt through either side of the gear hole.
- Preload the subgears on the other camshafts.

A universal joint consists of two Y-shaped yokes connected by a crossmember called a spider. The
spider is shaped like a cross. Universal joints are designed to handle the effects of various loadings
and front or rear axle windup during acceleration. Within the designed angle variations, the
universal joint will operate efficiently and safely. When the design angle is changed or exceeded
the operational life of the joint may decrease. The bearings used in universal joints are of the
needle roller type. The needle rollers are held in place on the trunnions by round bearing cups. The
bearing cups are held in the yokes by snap rings.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
A/T - Fixing Banjo Bolt Leaks
Fluid Line/Hose: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Fixing Banjo Bolt Leaks
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Fixing A/T Banjo Bolt Leaks
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
Got ATF leaking from any of the A/T banjo bolts? The first thing you need to do is replace the
sealing washers. Next, start threading the banjo and line bracket bolts in their holes. Finally, torque
the banjo bolt to 31 Nm (22 lb-ft) and the line bracket bolt to 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft.).
NOTE: The banjo bolt torque spec we're recommending is slightly higher than what's listed in the
S/M. This is intentional.
If you torque just the banjo bolt, you won't really fix the leak. ATF leaks at the banjo bolt stem from
the line bracket getting tightened before the banjo bolt. This can misalign the banjo joint, causing
the banjo bolt sealing washers not to contact their mating surfaces evenly. Once the sealing
washers have been used, you must replace them.

Driver's Air Bag - Replace Torx Bolts Properly
Air Bag: Technical Service Bulletins Driver's Air Bag - Replace Torx Bolts Properly
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2004
TITLE: Replace Drivers Air Bag Torx Bolts Properly
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: When replacing a drivers's side air bag, make sure you replace the torx bolts
properly. When removing the bolts, use a high-quality bit, making sure the bit is aligned. DON'T
USE AIR TOOLS. When installing bolts, always start the bolts by hand to avoid cross-treading, and
torque the bolts to the value listed in the service manual.
Page 5815
The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the
SRS coil assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the "AIR BAG" warning lamp in the
instrument cluster. The SDM, SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag assembly,
passenger air bag assembly and connector wire make up the deployment loops. The function of
the deployment loops is to supply current through air bag assembly, which will cause deployment
of the air bags in the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30 degrees off the centerline
of the vehicle. The air bag assemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy when the SDM
detects vehicle velocity changes severe enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal.
The electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and then compared to a value stored in
memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the air bag assembly deploying the air bags.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Raise the vehicle on a lift.
Check for loose wheel bearings. You must replace loose wheel bearings before you refinish the
brake discs. If you do not, the brake lathe will not correct for brake disc runout, resulting in an
uneven finish and brake pulsation.
Remove the front wheels, then reinstall the wheel nuts with flat washers to compensate for the
removed wheel. Torque the wheel nuts to the required specification (see the appropriate service
manual).
Remove the caliper assembly. Use a wire or a S-hook to hold the caliper to the spring or damper
tower. Do not kink the brake hose or use it to support the caliper. If you are not using the power
drive system and the vehicle has ICS or VSA, make sure you install a brake pad spreader between
the pads on the hanging caliper. Also, make sure the ICS or VSA is turned off anytime the engine
is started. If the system is not turned off, the brakes could activate, causing the brake pads on the
hanging caliper to hit each other or the caliper pistons to fall out.
Install the vibration damper on the brake disc. If you are not using the power drive system, make
sure you install the protective band around the wheel nuts.
If you are not using the power drive system, use a fabric tie-down strap to secure the brake disc
that is opposite to the one you are refinishing. If you are working on a Prelude with ATTS, do not
use a tie-down strap; let both wheels turn freely.
Mounting the Brake Lathe
Remove the tool bed from the brake lathe, then mount the brake lathe to the steering knuckle with
a Honda 1-piece speed mount. These mounts provide quicker, more accurate mounting, and can
be ordered through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program (see ORDERING INFORMATION).

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Description and Operation
ABS Light: Description and Operation
ABS Warning Light
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) have an amber "ABS" warning light in
the instrument panel. The "ABS" warning light will illuminate if a malfunction in the Anti-lock Brake
System is detected by the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU). In case of an electronic
malfunction, the EHCU will turn "ON" the "ABS" warning light and disable the Anti-lock braking
function. The "ABS" light will turn "ON" for approximately three seconds after the ignition switch is
turned to the "ON" position. If the "ABS" light stays "ON" after the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, or comes "ON" and stays "ON" while driving, the Anti-lock Brake System should be
inspected for a malfunction according to the diagnosis procedure.
When Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) trouble occurs to actuate "ABS" warning light, the trouble
code corresponding to the trouble is stored in the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU). Only
ordinary brake is available with ABS being unactuated. Even when "ABS" warning light is actuated,
if the starter switch is set ON after setting it OFF once, the EHCU checks up on the entire system
and, if there is no abnormality, judges ABS to work currently and the warning light is lit normally
even though the trouble code is stored.
NOTE: Illumination of the "ABS" warning light indicates that anti-lock braking is no longer available.
Power assisted braking without anti-lock control is still available.

1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Page 2133
7. Modify the original APPS by cutting the connector housing off of the sensor.
8. Connect the 10P connector to the modified APPS connector housing.
9. Using a DVOM, check the voltage between the reference voltage pin for each sensor and
ground.
^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
Page 7100
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Locations
Timing Marks and Indicators: Locations
IGNITION IS NOT ADJUSTABLE
Ignition timing is done by the electronic ignition (EI) that directly fires the spark plugs from ignition
coils through spark plug wires without using a distributor. A pair of ignition coils for the cylinders
having different phases by 36O° (No.1 and No.4,No.2 and No.5,No.3 and No.6) are fired
simultaneously.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less energy to fire its ignition plug, energy from the
ignition coils can be utilized to fire the mating cylinder on compression stroke. After additional 36O°
rotation, respective cylinder strokes are reversed.
The EI consists of six ignition coils,ignition control module, crank angle sensor, powertrain control
module (PCM) and other components. The ignition coils are connected with the PCM by means of
a 32 pin connector.
The ignition control module turns on/off the primary circuit of ignition coils, and also it controls the
ignition timing at the engine speed below 538 rpm.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates the crank angle sensor which then sends
information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil to the PCM. Further, the EI
employs ignition control (IC) to control similar to a distributor system.
By receiving signals such as crank position,engine speed, water temperature and Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP), the PCM controls the ignition timing.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Vehicle Speed Sensor
Description and Operation
Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early ’90s, Honda vehicles have come with an electrical load detector (ELD) unit in the
under-hood fuse/relay box. This unit allows the ECM/PCM to regulate the alternator (switch it
between high output and low output) to provide the best combination of fuel economy and electrical
system operation. The ELD sends a signal to the ECM/PCM that is proportional to the electrical
demand. The ECM/PCM switches the alternator between high output and low output depending on
several factors, which include electrical demand, battery charge level, and the driving cycle. When
the alternator is in low output, the engine load is reduced and fuel economy improves.

Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor. The fuel tank pressure sensor is a three-wire strain gauge sensor
similar to a common MAP sensor. However, the fuel tank pressure sensor has very different
electrical characteristics due to its pressure differential design. The sensor measures the difference
between the air pressure (or vacuum) in the fuel tank and the outside air pressure.
The sensor mounts at the top of the fuel pump assembly. A three-wire electrical harness connects
it to the PCM. The PCM supplies a five-volt reference voltage and a ground to the sensor. The
sensor will return a voltage between 0.1 and 4.9 volts. When the air pressure in the fuel tank is
equal to the outside air pressure, such as when the fuel cap is removed, the output voltage of the
sensor will be 1.3 to 1.7 volts.
When the air pressure in the fuel tank is 4.5 in. H2O (1.25 kPa),the sensor output voltage will be
0.5 ± 0.2 V. When there is neither vacuum nor pressure in the fuel tank, the sensor voltage will be
1.5 V. At -14 in. H2O (-3.75 kPa), the sensor voltage will be 4.5 ± 0.2 V.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Above most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
face, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector. Disregard
any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C416, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C416.

PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module: Service Precautions PCM Service Precautions
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Service Precaution
NOTE: To prevent possible electrostatic discharge damage to the PCM, do not touch the connector
pins or soldered components on the circuit board.
The PCM is designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation. Avoid
overloading any circuit. When testing for opens and shorts, do not ground or apply voltage to any of
the PCM's circuits unless instructed to do so. These circuits should only be tested using digital
voltmeter J-39200. The PCM should remain connected to the PCM or to a recommended breakout
box.
Information On PCM
1. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is located in the engine room and is the control center of
the electronic transmission control system. 2. The PCM must be maintained at a temperature
below 85°C (185°F) at all times. This is most essential if the vehicle is put through a paint baking
process. The PCM will become inoperative if its temperature exceeds 85°C (185°F). Therefore, it is
recommended that the PCM be removed or that temporary insulation be placed around the PCM
during the time the vehicle is in a paint oven or other high temperature process.
3. The PCM is designed to process the various inputs and then respond by sending the appropriate
electrical signals to control transmission upshift,
downshift, shift feel and torque converter clutch engagement.
4. The PCM constantly interprets information from the various sensors, and controls the systems
that affect transmission and vehicle performance. By
analyzing operational problems, the PCM is able to perform a diagnostic function by displaying
DTC(s) and aid the technician in making repairs.

Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Description and Operation
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor (a resistor which changes value
based on temperature) mounted in the engine coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces a
high resistance of 100,000 Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes a low resistance of
70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F). The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the ECT sensor through resistors
in the PCM and measures the voltage. The signal voltage will be high when the engine is cold and
low when the engine is hot. By measuring the voltage, the
PCM calculates the engine coolant temperature. Engine coolant temperature affects most of the
systems that the PCM controls.
The Tech 2 displays engine coolant temperature in degrees. After engine start-up, the temperature
should rise steadily to about 85 °C (185 °F). It then stabilizes when the thermostat opens. If the
engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the engine coolant temperature and intake
air temperature displays should be close to each other. A hard fault in the engine coolant sensor
circuit will set DTC P0177 or DTC P0118. An intermittent fault will set a DTC P1114 or P1115.

How to Identify Connector Terminals
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /
terminal shown is # 6.

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Page 1628
To install follow the removal steps in the reverse order noting the following point;
1. Check that each mode door operates properly.
Page 460
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.

Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.

Brake Fluid: Service and Repair
Deterioration of Brake Fluid
Using any other brake fluid than specified or brake fluid with mineral oil or water mixed in will drop
the boiling point of brake fluid. It may, in turn, result in vapor lock or deteriorated rubber parts of the
hydraulic system. Be sure to change the brake fluid at specified intervals. If the rubber parts are
deteriorated, remove all the system parts and clean them with alcohol. Prior to reassembly, dry the
cleaned parts with air to remove the alcohol. Replace all the hoses and rubber parts of the system.

when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is a thermistor which changes its resistance based on the
temperature of air entering the engine. Low temperature produces a high resistance of 100,000
Ohms at -40 °C (-40 °F). High temperature causes low resistance of 70 Ohms at 130 °C (266 °F).
The PCM supplies a 5-volt signal to the sensor through a resistor in the PCM and monitors the
signal voltage. The voltage will be high when the incoming air is cold. The voltage will be low when
the incoming air is hot. By measuring the voltage, the PCM calculates the incoming air
temperature. The IAT sensor signal is used to adjust spark timing according to the incoming air
density.
The Tech 2 displays the temperature of the air entering the engine. The temperature should read
close to the ambient air temperature when the engine is cold and rise as underhood temperature
increases. If the engine has not been run for several hours (overnight), the IAT sensor temperature
and engine coolant temperature should read close to each other. A Fault in the IAT sensor circuit
will set DTC P0112 or DTC P0113.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Circuit Operation
The engine or powertrain control module (ECM or PCM) receives inputs from the engine sensors
and switches, controlling the functions of the engine. It also turns on the malfunction indicator
"check engine" light whenever a malfunction or abnormal engine performance is detected, and
allows for diagnostic testing through the data link connector (DLC).
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
The electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
chip that is physically soldered within the PCM. The EEPROM contains the program and the
calibration information that the PCM needs to control powertrain operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM is not replaceable. If the PCM is
replaced, the new PCM will need to be programmed. Equipment containing the correct program
and calibration for the vehicle is required to program the PCM.
PCM Components
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels to government mandated standards
while providing excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM monitors numerous engine and
vehicle functions via electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP) sensor, heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S), and vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain engine operations
through the following:
- Fuel injector control
- Ignition control module
- ION sensing module
- Automatic transmission shift functions
- Cruise control
- Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge
- A/C clutch control
PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows
the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and Components."
This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. If Power Distribution
shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other
circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to the inoperative circuit.
Ground Distribution Schematics
Page 3046
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Air Bag Control Module: Vehicle Damage Warnings
1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93 °C (200 °C). 2. Air bag
assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used If they have been
dropped from a height of 100 centimeters
(3.28 feet).
3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the
SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.
4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chant
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code. 5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must
be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect pants replacement.

Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Refrigerant Oil: Description and Operation
Compressor Oil
Oil Specification
The HFC-134a system requires a synthetic (PAG) compressor oil whereas the R-12 system
requires a mineral compressor oil. The two oils must never be mixed.
Compressor (PAG) oil varies according to compressor model. Be sure to use oil specified for the
model of compressor.
Always use HFC-134a Vane Rotary Type Compressor Oil (AIPDN Part No.2-90188-301-0)
Handling of Oil
The oil should be free from moisture, dust, metal powder, etc. Do not mix with other oil. The water
content in the oil increases when exposed to the air. After use, seal oil from air immediately.
(HFC-134a Vane Rotary Compressor Oil absorbs moisture very easily.) The compressor oil must
be stored in steel containers, not in plastic containers.
Compressor Oil Check
The oil used to lubricate the compressor is circulating with the refrigerant. Whenever replacing any
component of the system or a large amount of gas leakage occurs, add oil to maintain the original
amount of oil.
Oil Capacity
Capacity total in system: 150 cc (5.0 fl.oz) Compressor (Service parts) charging amount: 150 cc

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

Adjustments
Valve Clearance: Adjustments
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
NOTE:
- Valve adjustment can be done either on-vehicle or off-vehicle.
- To measure exhaust valves, you need a 0.25 mm and a 0.35 mm feeler gauge.
- To measure intake valves, you need a 0.23 mm and a 0.33 mm feeler gauge. Since these are odd
sizes, you may need to stack two gauges (for example,
0.11 mm and 0.12 mm to make 0.23 mm). If you do this, make sure the gauges are clean and in
good condition. If you're not sure the gauge stack is correct, measure it with a micrometer.
On-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Remove the cylinder head covers.
4. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +/- 0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +/- 0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
5. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
6. If you need to replace a valve shim, turn the crankshaft (or camshaft) until the cam lobe for the
valve points away from the valve.

3. Disconnect the pigtail from the wiring harness.
IMPORTANT: The pigtail is permanently attached to the sensor. Be careful not to pull the wires out.
NOTE: Do not use a torch to remove an HO2S unless the sensor is being replaced. Using a torch
could damage the sensor.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest

when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
Audio System - CD/DVD Precautions
DVD Player: Technical Service Bulletins Audio System - CD/DVD Precautions
Adhesive Labels or Protective Disc Covers on CDs or
DVDs:
A Big Taboo
NOTE:
This article applies to all Honda models with a factory- or dealer-installed CD/DVD player or
changer.
We can't emphasize this enough: Never put adhesive labels or protective disc covers on
recordable CDs or DVDs to be used in automotive CD/DVD players or changers. Here's why:
^ Recordable CDs and DVDs are actually thicker than their pre-recorded brethern. Automotive
players and changers use rollers to draw the disc into the
unit. The added thickness of an adhesive label or a protective disc cover can cause the disc to jam
when it's loaded into or ejected from the unit.
^ CD/DVD players or changers are exposed to high temperatures inside the vehicle. High
temperature can cause the label adhesive to soften. This can
cause the label to curl on the edges and even form bubbles. Curled edges can catch on the rollers
and bubbles add thickness to the disc. Either one can cause the disc to jam.
To cut down on customer-caused damage, all '05 and later 0/Ms include this notice:
Do not use CDs with adhesive labels. The label can curl up and cause the CD to jam in the unit.
Anytime a service customer comes in with a loading or ejecting problem for a CD/DVD player or
changer, ask if he or she used any discs with adhesive labels or protective disc covers. If the
answer is yes, contact your DPSM for possible goodwill assistance. If the answer is no, then
replace the audio unit under normal warranty.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

^ If the sensor circuits all read 5.0 volts, go to step 11.
^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.

Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

cylinder. If there is no number on the shim, measure its
thickness with a micrometer, and write down the measurement on the Valve Inspection Chart.
12. Follow the directions on the Valve Shim Replacement Chart to select the correct shim.
13. Insert the correct shim, number side down, into the tappet. Make sure the shim is fully seated.
14. Install the camshafts (see steps 2 thru 9 of CAMSHAFT SUBGEAR PRELOADING, GEAR
TIMING, AND CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION).
15. Rotate the camshaft pulleys a few turns to ensure the new shims are fully seated.
16. Recheck the clearances of the valves you adjusted with the Go/No-Go method (see step 3). If
any clearances are incorrect, readjust them.

4. Remove the sensor from the exhaust pipe.
- Because of the expansion and contraction of the metal in the exhaust system over time, this may
be difficult if the engine temperature is below 48 °C (120 °F).
Installation Procedure
IMPORTANT:
- A special anti-seize compound on the HO2S threads. This compound consists of glass beads
suspended in a liquid graphite solution. The graphite burns away with engine heat, but the glass
beads will remain, making the sensor easier to remove.
- New or service sensors will already have the compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is
removed and is to be reinstalled for any reason, the threads must have anti-seize compound
applied.
1. Apply anti-seize compound or the equivalent to the threads of the oxygen sensor, if necessary.
2. Install the oxygen sensor on the exhaust pipe in its original position.
Tighten Tighten the oxygen sensor to 55 N.m (40 lb ft.).
3. Connect the pigtail to the wiring harness. 4. Connect the negative battery cable.

THE SRS WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener,
use ONLY the exact part number for that application. ISUZU will call out those fasteners that
require a replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings
(Paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces.
Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and
specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
The following are general precautions which should be observed when servicing and diagnosing
the Anti-lock Brake System and/or other vehicle systems. Failure to observe these precautions may
result in Anti-lock Brake System damage. If welding work is to be performed on the vehicle using an electric arc welder, the EHCU and valve
block connectors should be disconnected before the welding operation begins.
- The EHCU and valve block connectors should never be connected or disconnected with the
ignition "ON".
- If only rear wheels are rotated using jacks or drum tester, the system will diagnose a speed
sensor malfunction and the "ABS" warning light will illuminate. But actually no trouble exists. After
inspection stop the engine once and re-start it, then make sure that the "ABS" warning light does
not illuminate.
If the battery has been discharged The engine may stall if the battery has been completely
discharged and the engine is started via jumper cables. This is because the Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) requires a large quantity of electricity. In this case, wait until the battery is
recharged, or set the ABS to a non-operative state by removing the fuse for the ABS (60A). After
the battery has been recharged, stop the engine and install the ABS fuse. Start the engine again,
and confirm that the ABS warning light does not light.

Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) looks the same as the MIL you are already familiar with
("Check Engine" lamp). However, OBD II requires that it illuminate under a strict set of guide lines.
Basically, the MIL is turned on when the PCM detects a DTC that will impact vehicle emissions.
The MIL is under the control of the Diagnostic Executive. The MIL will be turned on if an
emissions-related diagnostic test indicates a malfunction has occurred. It will stay on until the
system or component passes the same test, for three consecutive trips, with no emissions related
faults.
If the vehicle is experiencing a misfire malfunction which may cause damage to the Three-Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC), the MIL will flash once per second. This will continue until the vehicle is
outside of speed and load conditions which could cause possible catalyst damage, and the MIL will
stop flashing and remain on steady.
Extinguishing the MIL
When the MIL is on, the Diagnostic Executive will turn off the MIL after three(3) consecutive trips
that a "test passed" has been reported for the diagnostic test that originally caused the MIL to
illuminate.
Although the MIL has been turned off, the DTC will remain in the PCM memory (both Freeze
Frame and Failure Records) until forty (40) warm-up cycles after no faults have been completed.
If the MIL was set by either a fuel trim or misfire-related DTC, additional requirements must be met.
In addition to the requirements stated in the previous paragraph, these requirements are as follows:
- The diagnostic tests that are passed must occur within 375 RPM of the RPM data stored at the
time the last test failed.
- Plus or minus ten (10) percent of the engine load that was stored at the time the last failed.
- Similar engine temperature conditions (warmed up or warming up) as those stored at the time the
last test failed. Meeting these requirements ensures that the fault which turned on the MIL has
been corrected.
The MIL ("Check Engine" lamp) is on the instrument panel and has the following function:
- It informs the driver that a fault affects vehicle emission levels has occurred and that the vehicle
should be taken for service as soon as possible.
- As a bulb and system check, the MIL will come "ON" with the key "ON" and the engine not
running. When the engine is started, the MIL will turn "OFF."
- When the MIL remains "ON" while the engine is running, or when a malfunction is suspected due
to a driveability or emissions problem, a Powertrain On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II) System Check
must be performed. The procedures for these checks are given in On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System Check. These checks will expose faults which may not be detected if other diagnostics are
performed first.

Service Precautions
Seat Belt Tensioner: Service Precautions
Airbag / Seat Belt Tensioner Handling and Storage
Do not try to disassemble an airbag or a seat belt tensioner. They have no serviceable parts. Once
an airbag or a seat belt tensioner have been deployed, they cannot be repaired or reused.
For temporary storage of an airbag or a seat belt tensioner during service, please observe the
following precautions:
* Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up. The driver's/front passenger's airbag
connectors and seat belt tensioner connectors have a built-in short contact.
WARNING: If the airbag is improperly stored face down, accidental deployment could propel the
unit with enough force to cause serious injury.
* Store the removed airbag on a secure flat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding
212 °F/100 °C) and free of any oil, grease, detergent or water.
* Improper handling or storage can internally damage the airbag and seat belt tensioner, making
them inoperative. If you suspect the airbag and seat belt tensioner have been damaged, install new
units and refer to the Deployment/Disposal Procedures for disposing of the damaged units.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
Page 7011
it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.
Page 1295
Tires: Service Precautions
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener,
use ONLY the exact part number for that application. Honda will call out those fasteners that
require a replacement after removal. Honda will also call out the fasteners that require thread
lockers or thread sealant. Unless otherwise specified, do not use supplemental coatings (Paints,
greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally,
such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage
the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications.
Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.

The steering wheel offset gauge is a sticker that attaches to the steering wheel and the steering
column cover. Place the sticker on the steering wheel when the steering wheel is straight. When
you test-drive the vehicle, you can read how many millimeters the steering wheel is off-center.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is pulling, repairing the pull may correct the steering wheel offset.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

This illustration shows view from the top of the vehicle. Toe-in is the measured amount the front
wheels are turned in. The actual amount of toe-in is normally a fraction of a degree. Toe-in is
measured from the center of the tire treads or from the inside of the tires. The purpose of toe-in is
to insure parallel rolling of the front wheels and to offset any small deflections of the wheel support
system which occurs when the vehicle is rolling forward. Incorrect toe-in results in excessive toe-in
and unstable steering. Toe-in is the last alignment to be set in the front end alignment procedure.

Blower Does Not Run in One or More Settings (Supersedes 01-007, dated July 3, 2001)
SYMPTOM
The blower does not run in one or more fan control lever positions.
PROBABLE CAUSE
A high current draw on the blower resistor causes it overheat and to become electrically "open."
This high current draw is usually caused by high friction in the blower motor bearings and/or debris
in the blower assembly housing, which jams or slows the blower motor and damages its
commutator.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the blower resistor and the blower motor assembly. Clean out all debris from inside the
blower assembly housing.

Page 1197
The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the
SRS coil assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the "AIR BAG" warning lamp in the
instrument cluster. The SDM, SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag assembly,
passenger air bag assembly and connector wire make up the deployment loops. The function of
the deployment loops is to supply current through air bag assembly, which will cause deployment
of the air bags in the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30 degrees off the centerline
of the vehicle. The air bag assemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy when the SDM
detects vehicle velocity changes severe enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal.
The electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and then compared to a value stored in
memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the air bag assembly deploying the air bags.

An oil with a viscosity of 5W - 30 is preferred for improved fuel economy and year-round protection
in the vehicle. You may use a 10W - 30 oil if the climate in your area is limited to the temperature
range shown on the chart.
4. Run the engine for more than three minutes, then check for oil leakage.
Page 2835
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.

^ If any sensor circuit is above or below 5.0 volts, go to step 10.
10. Troubleshoot for an internal short in another sensor or a PCM malfunction.
^ To find the sensor with an internal short, monitor the incorrect reference voltage, and disconnect
each sensor (FTPS, EGR, MAP, TPS, CKP, and CMP) one at a time until the reference voltage
reads 5.0 volts. Replace that sensor, and repeat step 3.
^ To find a malfunctioning PCM, replace it with a known-good PCM. If all three sensors (APP
Sensor 1, APP Sensor 2, and APP Sensor 3) are within range, the original PCM is faulty; replace it
and repeat step 3.
Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor: Description and Operation
Fuel Level Sensor. The fuel level sensor is an important input to the PCM for the enhanced EVAP
system diagnostic. The PCM needs fuel level information to know the volume of fuel in the tank.
The fuel level affects the rate of change of air pressure in the EVAP system. Several of the
enhanced EVAP system diagnostic sub-tests are dependent upon correct fuel level information.
The diagnostic will not run when the tank is less than 15 % or more than 85 % full. Be sure to
diagnose any Fuel Level Sensor DTCs first, as they can cause other DTCs to set.

Paint Damage From Environmental Fallout
(Supersedes 99-062, dated October 12, 1999 to update the information marked by the black bars
and asterisks)
SYMPTOM
The exterior paint surface does not feel smooth after the vehicle is washed.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Environmental fallout (airborne metallic particles, tree sap, paint overspray, road tar, insect residue,
etc.) has adhered to the exterior paint surface.
NOTE:
This form of paint damage should not be confused with acid rain damage. Unlike environmental
fallout damage, acid rain damage appears on the paint surface as pits or water spots-possibly
black or brown in the center-which may feel smooth to the touch.
PREVENTION
The shipping wax/wrap guard applied to the vehicle at the factory provides the best protection for
the paint finish from environmental fallout and acid rain damage. American Honda strongly
recommends that you leave the shipping wax/wrap guard on the vehicle for as long as possible.
Your dealership is responsible for maintaining the vehicle's finish after the shipping wax/ wrap
guard is removed.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Select a product line from one of the manufacturers listed in REQUIRED MATERIALS to clean the
paint surface and to wax it after cleaning. Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions for
each of the products you use.
REQUIRED MATERIALS
Each of the clays listed should do at least three vehicles.

3. Confirm the output signal from the terminals (1) & (2) (2 seconds output) 4. If the trouble occurs
after test, charge the Axle Disconnect Controller to the new one.
Motor Actuator Assembly (Transfer)
Inspect the function of the motor actuator assembly as follows: 1. Disassemble the motor actuator
from transfer rear case.
Page 6018
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

The SRS consists of the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), the driver air bag assembly, the
SRS coil assembly, the passenger air bag assembly, and the "AIR BAG" warning lamp in the
instrument cluster. The SDM, SRS coil assembly (driver side only), driver air bag assembly,
passenger air bag assembly and connector wire make up the deployment loops. The function of
the deployment loops is to supply current through air bag assembly, which will cause deployment
of the air bags in the event of a frontal crash of sufficient force, up to 30 degrees off the centerline
of the vehicle. The air bag assemblies are only supplied enough current to deploy when the SDM
detects vehicle velocity changes severe enough to warrant deployment.
The SDM contains a sensing device which converts vehicle velocity change to an electrical signal.
The electrical signal generated is processed by the SDM and then compared to a value stored in
memory. When the generated signal exceeds the stored value, the SDM will cause current to flow
through the air bag assembly deploying the air bags.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring Precautions
Wiring Precautions
SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer covering (except the SRS indicator light
circuit).
Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair SRS wiring. If there is an open or damage in SRS wiring,
replace the harness.
Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched, or interfere with other parts.
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean, and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.
Page 4575
If there is no photo number below or beside a component name or a connector, ground, or terminal
number, look up that name or number in the appropriate Connector Identification Chart. The chart
lists how many cavities a connector has, where it's located, and what it connects to. The related
illustration shows the connector's location on the harness, and the harness routing.
NOTE: Photos listed by number are located at Locations / Components / Photograohs.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Description and Operation
Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge consists of two intersecting coils wound around a permanent magnet rotor (see
coolant temperature gauge for operation). The engine (M/T) or powertrain (A/T) control module
(ECM or PCM) tracks the fuel level by monitoring the resistance in the fuel tank unit. The
resistance varies from about 80 ohms with the tank full to 290 ohms with it empty. The ECM or
PCM uses this information to control the fuel gauge.
NOTE 1: The circuit between the PCM and the gauge can be tested with the PGM Tester. In the
"ENGINE\MISC TESTS\FUEL GAUGE" menu, the PGM Tester can command the PCM to move
the gauge in 10% increments.

6. Apply the adhesive (1) to the windshield.
- After drying primer completely, apply a sealing adhesive (Sun star # 555 or equivalent) along the
edge of the glass so that the sealing adhesive has a 20 mm (0.79 in)junction at middle of the base
of the glass.
NOTE: Apply an adhesive 3 minutes or more but within 24 hours after the application of primer. If
more than 24 hours have passed, reapply primer.
Adhesive should be handled as follows: 1. Use the adhesive manufactured 3 months or less ago.
2. Wipe off adhesive-stains on positions other than requires application.
7. Install the windshield.
- Set the windshield with sealing adhesive applied to entire circumference in the body panel.
Specifically, adjust windshield support with the upper molding making contact with the body panel,
press the glass, and tighten the windshield support.

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Page 6016
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

General Precautions
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions General Precautions
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.

26. Using a 3/8 in. drill motor, a 1/4 in. drill guide, and a 1/4 in. bit, drill 16 pilot holes into the frame
rail, through each hole in the type B reinforcement bracket.
27. Using a 1/4 in. bit, drill a pilot hole into the passenger's side frame rail, through the type B
reinforcement bracket brake clip mounting hole.
28. Remove both type B reinforcement brackets. Save the body mount studs and nuts for the final
installation.
29. Using a 1/2 in. drill motor and a 33/64 in. bit, final drill the pilot hole you made in step 27, then
mark the hole with tape or chalk. This hole creates the clearance needed for the passenger's side
brake line clip.
NOTE:
Do not install a pop nut into this hole.
30. Using the 1/2 in. drill motor and the 33/64 in. bit, drill 32 final holes (16 per bracket) where you
made the pilot holes.
31. Test fit a pop nut into each of the 32 holes to be sure drilling is complete.
NOTE:
If a pop nut doesn't fit, don't try to try to enlarge the hole by pivoting the drill bit. Doing this creates
an uneven seating surface for the pop nut. If the pop nut doesn't fit, your drill bit is worn out;
sharpen or replace the drill bit, then red redrill the affected final hole(s).
32. Insert an air gun into the frame rail hole, and blow up and down the inside of the frame rails to
move any rust or metal debris away from the area.
33. Attach the pop nut installer to shop air, and adjust the tool's air pressure regulator to between
72 and 87 psi.
NOTE:
^ The tool's air pressure is critical: if it's too low, the pop nuts cannot be correctly installed; if it's too
high, the tool will be damaged.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top to ground, at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Description and Operation
Lateral Accelerometer: Description and Operation
G-SENSOR/LATERAL ACCELEROMETER
The G-sensor installed inside the Electronic Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) detects the vehicle
deceleration speed and sends a signal to the EHCU. In 4WD operation, all four wheels may be
decelerated in almost the same phase, since all wheels are connected mechanically.
This tendency is noticeable particularly on roads with low friction coefficient, and the Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) control is adversely affected.
The G-sensor judges whether the friction coefficient of road surface is low or high, and changes the
EHCU's operating system to ensure ABS control.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Do this inspection on both sides of the vehicle.
1. Raise the vehicle on a lift. To allow enough clearance for the inspection, make sure the rear
lifting points are at least 12 inches (300 mm) ahead of the rear trailing link front mounting brackets.
2. Visually inspect the lower trailing link front bracket area at the red circle in the photo below:
^ If the vehicle's bracket area is rusted to a similar or lesser degree than that in the photo, go to
STAGE 1 REPAIR.
^ If the vehicle's bracket area is rusted to a greater degree than that in the photo, go to the next
step.
^ * If the vehicle had a prior repair resulting in a modification to the lower trailing link front brackets,
stop the inspection, call Tech Line to open a case,
then take photos of the area, and send them to Tech Line.*
3. If the vehicle has side steps or running boards, remove them.
4. Use a 3/16 in. x 9 in. flat punch and a 12-16-oz. hammer to strike the frame areas marked X in
the illustration below. Swing the hammer with a 10 to 12 inch stroke to be sure enough force is
applied to the punch.
Page 29
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Service and Repair
Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair
Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, there are necessary to relieve the fuel
system pressure before filler and gauge unit servicing the fuel system components.
CAUTION: After relieving the system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when
servicing fuel lines or connections. Reduce the chance of personal injury by covering the fuel line
fittings with a shop towel before you disconnect the fittings. The towels will absorb any fuel that
may leak out. When the disconnect is completed, place the towel in an approved container.
1. Remove the fuel cap. 2. Remove the fuel pump relay from the underhood relay box. 3. Start the
engine and allow it to stall. 4. Crank the engine for 30 seconds. 5. Disconnect the negative battery
cable.

24. Verify APP Sensor 1 is between 11 and 15 percent, and APP Sensor 2 and APP Sensor 3 are
between 89 and 85 percent with the pedal up (closed throttle). If not, loosen the mounting screws
on the APPS sensor, and go to step 14.
25. Clear all DTCs with the PGM Tester.
26. Turn off the ignition switch, and disconnect the PGM Tester.

Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse. The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows
the wiring "upstream" between the battery and the fuses.
From Fuses to Relays and Components
The second half of Power Distribution shows the wiring "From Fuses to Relays and Components."
This can speed your troubleshooting by showing which circuits share fuses. If Power Distribution
shows that an inoperative circuit and another circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other
circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

Before Troubleshooting
Before Troubleshooting
See: Service Precautions/Vehicle Damage Warnings/Tips and Precautions
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, otherwise
you will damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the battery ground cable loosely connected or you will
severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it "clicks" into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.
- Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multi meter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Page 2583
it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.
Finding Component/Connector Locations
Finding Component/Connector Locations
To see where a component or connector is located on the car, look up its photo number in the
"Component Location". The photo will also tell you the color of the connector, and how many
cavities it has.
Page 509
The name of the component appears next to it followed by notes about its function along with any
photo and connector view references.
Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
Fuel Control Heated Oxygen Sensors
The fuel control heated oxygen sensors (Bank 1 HO2S 1 and Bank 2 HO2S 1) are mounted in the
exhaust stream where they can monitor the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The oxygen
present in the exhaust gas reacts with the sensor to produce a voltage output. This voltage should
constantly fluctuate from approximately 100 mV to 900 mV. The heated oxygen sensor voltage can
be monitored with a Tech 2. By monitoring the voltage output of the oxygen sensor, the PCM
calculates the pulse width command for the injectors to produce the proper combustion chamber
mixture.
- Low HO2S voltage is a lean mixture which will result in a rich command to compensate.
- High HO2S voltage is a rich mixture which will result in a lean command to compensate.
An open Bank 1 HO2S 1 signal circuit will set a DTC P0134 and the Tech 2 will display a constant
voltage between 400 - 500 mV. A constant voltage below 300 mV in the sensor circuit (circuit
grounded) will set DTC P0131. A constant voltage above 800 mV in the circuit will set DTC P0132.
Faults in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 signal circuit will cause DTC 0154 (open circuit), DTC P0151
(grounded circuit), or DTC P0152 (signal voltage high) to set. A fault in the Bank 1 HO2S 1 heater
circuit will cause DTC P0135 to set. A fault in the Bank 2 HO2S 1 heater circuit will cause DTC
P0155 to set. The PCM can also detect HO2S response problems. If the response time of an
HO2S is determined to be too slow, the PCM will store a DTC that indicates degraded HO2S
performance.

Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.

Front Disc Brake Rotor
Brake Rotor/Disc: Testing and Inspection Front Disc Brake Rotor
Inspection
In the manufacturing of the brake rotor, all the tolerances regarding surface finish, parallelism and
lateral runout are held very closely. Maintaining these tolerances provides the surface necessary to
assure smooth brake operation.
Checking Lateral Runout
1. Adjust the wheel bearing correctly. 2. Attach the dial indicator accordingly so that the stem
contacts the rotor surface to approximately 29 mm (1.14 inch) from the rotor edge. 3. Rotate the
rotor one complete turn and inspect for signs of lateral runout. Lateral runout should not exceed
0.13 mm (0.005 inch).
Maximum runout: 0.13 mm (0.005 inch)

Steps 1 - 7
Test Description
IMPORTANT: Be sure to used the same diagnostic test equipment for all measurements.
The number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Chart.
2. Applying 34 kPa (10 inch Hg) vacuum to the MAP sensor should cause the voltage to be 1.5 2.1 volts less than the voltage at step 1. Upon
applying vacuum to the sensor, the change in voltage should be instantaneous. A slow voltage
change indicates a faulty sensor.
3. Check the vacuum hose to the sensor for leaking or restriction, Be sure that no other vacuum
devices are connected to the MAP hose.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the electrical connector remains securely fastened.
4. Disconnect the sensor from the bracket. Twist the sensor with your hand to check for an
intermittent connection. Output changes greater than 0.10
volt indicate a bad sensor.

10. Remove both type A reinforcement brackets. Save the body mount studs and nuts for the final
installation, and discard the original trailing link front mount mounting nuts.
11. Using a 1/2 in. drill motor and a 33/64 in. bit, drill final holes where you made the pilot holes.
12. Test fit a pop nut into each hole to be sure drilling is complete.
NOTE:
If a pop nut doesn't fit, don't try to enlarge the hole by pivoting the drill bit. Doing this creates an
uneven seating surface for the pop nut. If the pop nut doesn't fit, your drill bit is worn out and needs
to be sharpened or replaced.
13. Insert an air gun into the frame rail hole, and blow up and down the inside of the frame rails to
move any rust or metal debris away from the area.
14. Attach the pop nut installer to shop air, and adjust the tool's air pressure regulator to between
72 and 87 psi.
NOTE:
^ The tool's air pressure is critical: if it's too low, the pop nuts cannot be correctly installed; if it's too
high, the tool will be damaged.
^ If this is your first time using the pop nut installer, or if you haven't used it in a while, practice
installing one or two pop nuts onto the pop nut test
plate:
- Place a pop nut at the tip of installer's threaded mandrel. Make sure to keep your fingers away
from the gap between the pop nut and the base of the mandrel. Squeeze the installer's trigger; the
pop nut threads onto the mandrel.

Powertrain Control Module: Description and Operation
Circuit Operation
The engine or powertrain control module (ECM or PCM) receives inputs from the engine sensors
and switches, controlling the functions of the engine. It also turns on the malfunction indicator
"check engine" light whenever a malfunction or abnormal engine performance is detected, and
allows for diagnostic testing through the data link connector (DLC).
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
The electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) is a permanent memory
chip that is physically soldered within the PCM. The EEPROM contains the program and the
calibration information that the PCM needs to control powertrain operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the EEPROM is not replaceable. If the PCM is
replaced, the new PCM will need to be programmed. Equipment containing the correct program
and calibration for the vehicle is required to program the PCM.
PCM Components
PCM Components
The PCM is designed to maintain exhaust emission levels to government mandated standards
while providing excellent driveability and fuel efficiency. The PCM monitors numerous engine and
vehicle functions via electronic sensors such as the throttle position (TP) sensor, heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S), and vehicle speed sensor (VSS). The PCM also controls certain engine operations
through the following:
- Fuel injector control
- Ignition control module
- ION sensing module
- Automatic transmission shift functions
- Cruise control
- Evaporative emission (EVAP) purge
- A/C clutch control
PCM Function
PCM Function
The PCM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches. The power is supplied
through resistances in the PCM which are so high in value that a test light will not light when
connected to the circuit. In some cases, even an ordinary shop voltmeter will not give an accurate
reading because its resistance is too low. Therefore, a digital voltmeter with at least 10 megaohms
input impedance is required to ensure accurate voltage readings. Tool J-39200 meets this
requirement. The PCM controls output circuits such as the injectors, fan relays, etc., by controlling
the ground or the power feed circuit through transistors or through either of the following two
devices:
- Output Driver Module (ODM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

Connector "C"
How to Identify Connector Terminals Cavity Numbering System
The cavities (and wire terminals) in each connector are numbered starting from the upper left,
looking at the male terminals from the terminal side (or looking at the female terminals from the
wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the same.) All actual cavities
are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.
