Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation
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.
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)

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.

Description and Operation
Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation
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.

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.

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.
BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
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. In replenishing brake fluid, take care that air bubbles do not enter the brake
fluid.
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.
BLEEDING THE MASTER CYLINDER 7. Disconnect the rear wheel brake pipe (1) from the master
cylinder.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Tires: Testing and Inspection 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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.
Page 4726
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.

8. Apply a setting mark (1) across the steering wheel and shaft so parts can be reassembled in
their original position. Move the front wheels to the
straight ahead position, then use steering wheel remover J-29752 to remove the steering wheel.
CAUTION: Never apply force to the steering wheel in direction of the shaft by 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.
NOTE: The SRS coil is a part of the combination switch assembly, which can not be replaced
separately. Therefore, be sure not to remove the SRS coil from the combination switch assembly.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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 to 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Description and Operation
Acceleration/Deceleration Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION/OPERATION
The G-sensor installed inside the 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 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.

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:
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.

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.

Air Bag Control Module: Service and Repair
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.
Removal
1. Disable the SRS. 2. Remove dressing panel around the radio and disconnect cigar lighter
harness 3. Remove the transfer sift lever knob. 4. Remove the center console. 5. Remove three
connector from Powertrain Control Module (PCM). (Y22SE 2.2L Engine only) 6. Remove PCM with

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 Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation
With the ignition switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied to the A/T gear position switch
through fuse 14. The A/T gear position 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 meter assembly, causing it to come on.

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 5544
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

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.

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 Fluid Level Sensor/Switch: Description and Operation
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.
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).

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.

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.

bulletin.*
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Replace the APPS or the accelerator pedal assembly, and leave the mounting screws for the
APPS loose.
2. Connect the PGM Tester to the data link connector (DLC), and turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
*3. 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 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

Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
CAUTION:
- If a lifting device other than the original jack is used, it is most important that the device be applied
only to the correct lifting points. Raising the vehicle from any other point may result in serious
damage.
- When jacking or lifting a vehicle at the frame side rail or other prescribed lift points, be certain that
lift pads do not contact the catalytic converter, brake pipes or cables, or fuel lines. Such contact
may result in damage or unsatisfactory vehicle performance.

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. Below 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.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation General Description
General Description
Restraint Devices
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps supplement the protection offered by the driver
and front passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag from the center of the steering wheel and
from the top of the right side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30
degrees off the centerline of the vehicle; To further absorb the crash energy there is a knee bolster
located beneath the instrument panel for both the driver and passenger, and the steering column is
collapsible.

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.
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.

Wires
Wire insulation can be one color, or one color with another color stripe. (The second color is the
stripe.)
This circuit continues on another image. (The arrow shows direction of current flow.) To follow the
RED/BLK wire in this example, you would turn to "Fuel and Emissions" and look for the "A" arrow.

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.

Tires: Testing and Inspection
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
If the following 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 following 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.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
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

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

Splices
Splices are shown as a dot. Their location and the number of wires may vary depending on the
harness manufacturer.
Switches
Switches
These switches move together; the broken straight line between them means they are
mechanically connected.
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.

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.

bulletin.*
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Replace the APPS or the accelerator pedal assembly, and leave the mounting screws for the
APPS loose.
2. Connect the PGM Tester to the data link connector (DLC), and turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
*3. 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 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%,

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.

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.

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
"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.

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.

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. Below 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols is given under wire color abbreviation.
Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.
From Battery to Ignition Switch, Fuses, and Relays Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse.
The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows the wiring "upstream" between the battery

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 4212
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

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.

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Condenser Fan: Description and Operation
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 fan 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.

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

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

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

Blower Motor: Description and Operation
With the engine running, voltage is applied to the coil of the heater-A/C relay. The heater-A/C relay
energizes and allows battery voltage from fuse 16 through fuse 5 and fuse 6 to the blower motor.
The fan control switch then applies ground to the blower resistor for the desired blower motor
speed. As the fan control switch is moved from OFF to position 4, segments of the blower resistor
are bypassed. This increases the blower motor speed. When the blower switch is in position 4, the
entire resistor is bypassed and the blower motor runs at the highest speed.

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).

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

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).

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 megohms
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 (0DM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

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.

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).

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

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 Pressure/Vacuum 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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
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.

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 megohms 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.
Page 3459
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.

October 16, 2001
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.

5. Check your work by running your fingers over the cleaned and lubricated surface to feel for any
remaining contamination.
^ If you feel any particles on the cleaned surface fold the clay in half, knead it back into a disk
shape, clean the section again, and recheck your work.
^ If the cleaned surface feels smooth, fold the clay in half, knead it back into a disk shape, and go
to step 6.
NOTE:
You must carefully fold and knead the clay to keep a clean side next to the paint surface. Never
use clay that has fallen on the ground. Any small pieces of dirt or sand that imbed in the clay will
scratch the paint surface. If the clay falls on the ground, discard it and get a fresh piece.
6. Clean the remaining sections of the sprayed area (repeat steps 4 and 5).
7. Wipe the lubricant from all the cleaned sections with a clean terry cloth towel.
8. Clean the rest of the affected panel and any additional panels that need cleaning (repeat steps 3
thru 7).
9. Apply the manufacturer's recommended wax or glaze to all the cleaned panels.

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.

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.

Coolant: Description and Operation
Anti Freeze Solution
Relation between the mixing ratio and freezing temperature of the Engine Coolant varies with the
ratio of anti-freeze solution in water. Proper mixing ratio can be determined by referring to the
chart. Supplemental inhibitors or additives claiming to increase cooling capability that have not
been specifically approved by Isuzu are not recommended for addition to the cooling system.
- Calculating mixing ratio
Notice: Antifreeze solution + Water = Total cooling system capacity.
Mixing Ratio
Check the specific gravity of engine coolant in the cooling system temperature ranges from O°C to
50°C using a suction type hydrometer, then determine the density of the engine coolant by referring
to the table.
Notice: 1. Even in the areas where the atmospheric temperature is higher than 0°C, be sure not to
use antifreeze solution at a mixing ratio lower than 20% so
that the inside of the engine may not be corroded.

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 6123
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.

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 7611
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 Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation
With the ignition switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied to the A/T gear position switch
through fuse 14. The A/T gear position 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 meter assembly, causing it to come on.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Page 4901
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.

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

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.

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 brake fluid is low. It also lights as a bulb test when the engine is cranked.
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.

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.

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.

3. Attach the driveshaft on the drive motor assembly to the mounting yoke, making sure the center
line of the driveshaft is level with the spindle nut on
the wheel hub.
4. Set the lower toggle switch on the drive motor assembly to FWD (counterclockwise rotation) or

Setting Up and Adjusting the Brake Lathe
Use Kwik-Way cutting bits, P/N KWY-109109223, and the holding screws that come with them.
These bits are stamped KW and are available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program
(see ORDERING INFORMATION).
Before you use the brake lathe, inspect the tips of the cutting bits with a magnifying glass to make
sure the tips are not worn out. Each bit has three tips. If a tip is worn, rotate the bit, and use a new
tip. A worn tip produces a poor finish and may cause chattering.
Page 2450
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.*

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.

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.
BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
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. In replenishing brake fluid, take care that air bubbles do not enter the brake
fluid.
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.
BLEEDING THE MASTER CYLINDER 7. Disconnect the rear wheel brake pipe (1) from the master
cylinder.

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.
Description and Operation
EGR Valve Position Sensor: Description and Operation
EGR Pintle Position Sensor
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input to endure that the valve responds properly
to commands from the PCM and to detect a fault if the pintle position sensor and control circuits
are open or shorted. If the PCM detects a pintle position signal voltage outside the normal range of
the pintle position sensor, or a signal voltage that is not within a tolerance considered acceptable
for proper EGR system operation, the PCM will set DTC P1406.

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.

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.

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

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
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 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.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum 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.

Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
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.

the housing.
8. Position a drain pan under the transmission.
9. Using the 22 mm wrench as a lever and the transmission case as the fulcrum, pry the
accumulator cover out of the housing.
NOTE:
For maximum leverage, do not fully seat the 22 mm wrench against the removal tool. Line up the
end of the wrench with the center of the tool.
10. Clean the accumulator housing.
11. Lubricate the accumulator housing and the accumulator cover with clean ATF.

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. 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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

REPAIR PROCEDURE A
1. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
Page 6157
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.

for any reason, you must adjust the APPS. *This procedure is missing in the 2000 service manual
and is wrong in the 2001 and 2002 service manuals. Make a note on page 6E2-539 of the 2000
Passport Fuel and Emissions manual, on page 6E2-553 of the 2001 Passport Fuel and Emissions
manual, and on page 6E2-545 of the 2002 Passport Fuel and Emissions manual to refer to this
bulletin.*
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Replace the APPS or the accelerator pedal assembly, and leave the mounting screws for the
APPS loose.
2. Connect the PGM Tester to the data link connector (DLC), and turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
*3. 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 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
PCM, and repeat step 3.

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 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. Below 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols is given under wire color abbreviation.

Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The engine 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation General Description
General Description
Restraint Devices
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps supplement the protection offered by the driver
and front passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag from the center of the steering wheel and
from the top of the right side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30
degrees off the centerline of the vehicle; To further absorb the crash energy there is a knee bolster
located beneath the instrument panel for both the driver and passenger, and the steering column is
collapsible.

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.
Page 5433
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.

Abnormal Tire Ahead Wear and Major Causes
TYPICAL EXAMPLES OF ABNORMAL TIRE AHEAD WEAR AND MAJOR CAUSES:
CAUTION: Similar wear patterns can be caused by worn suspension parts, misalignment of wheels
and tires, and other suspension related problems.
Spotty Wear
Wear localized on shoulder sections, and in an extreme cases, the tire becomes polygonal in
shape. 1. Tire or wheel out of round or distorted. 2. Hub or knuckle out of round or distorted. 3. Play
in hub bearings or ball joint. 4. Rotating parts out of balance.
Tread Wear One-Sided
1. Rotating parts out of balance. 2. Tire or wheel out of round. 3. Hub or knuckle out of round or

Page 272
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
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.

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.

"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.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation General Description
General Description
Restraint Devices
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps supplement the protection offered by the driver
and front passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag from the center of the steering wheel and
from the top of the right side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30
degrees off the centerline of the vehicle; To further absorb the crash energy there is a knee bolster
located beneath the instrument panel for both the driver and passenger, and the steering column is
collapsible.
Page 6420
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.

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.

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.

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 of the page, 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.

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: 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.

^ 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.

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 7627
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 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.

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.

Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch
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.

MFR'S REPORT DATE: September 22, 2010
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.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
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 rotor is press-fit in the axle shaft. The 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.

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.

^ 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.

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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.

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

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).

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
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 681
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.
Page 3157
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 469
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.

3. Photocopy the template that is shown. Cut out the template.
Page 3797
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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.
Service Precautions
Suspension Control Module: Service Precautions
The Intelligent Suspension System interfaces directly with the Control Unit 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 Control Unit 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.

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.

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.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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 Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Locations
Page 504
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.

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
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.

Cleaning Spark Plugs
- Clean spark plugs with a spark plug cleaner.
- Raise the ground electrode to an position of 45 to 60 degrees. If electrode is wet, dry it before
cleaning.
- After spark plug is thoroughly cleaned, check insulator for presence of cracks.
- Clean threads and metal body with a wire brush.
- File the electrode tip if electrode is extremely worn.
- Bend the ground electrode to adjust the spark plug gap.

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 2055
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.

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 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 megohms
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 (0DM)
- 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.
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 4457
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: Service and Repair Tire Replacement
TIRE REPLACEMENT
When replacement is necessary, the original metric the 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 cap on 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.
Wheel Inspection
Damaged wheels and wheels with excessive run-out must be replaced. Wheel run out at rim (Base
on hub Bore) is shown in provided table.
Preliminary Checks
Alignment: Service and Repair Preliminary Checks
INSPECTION
Before making any adjustments affecting caster, camber or toe-in, the following front end
inspection should be made. 1. Inspect the tires for proper inflation pressure. 2. Make sure that the
vehicle is unladen condition (With no passenger or loading). 3. Make sure that the spare tire is
installed at the normal position. 4. Inspect the front wheel bearings for proper adjustment. 5.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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 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.

may be due to improper gap adjustment or to excessive wear of the electrode during use. A check
of the gap size and comparison to the gap specified for the vehicle in Maintenance and Lubrication
will tell if the gap is too wide. A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an unstable idle
condition. Excessive gap wear can be an indication of continuous operation at high speeds or with
engine loads, causing the spark to run too hot. Another possible cause is an excessively lean fuel
mixture.
Low or high spark plug installation torque or improper seating can result in the spark plug running
too hot and can cause excessive center electrode wear. The plug and the cylinder head seats must
be in good contact for proper heat transfer and spark plug cooling. Dirty or damaged threads in the
head or on the spark plug can keep it from seating even though the proper torque is applied. Once
spark plugs are properly seated, tighten them to the torque shown in the Specifications Table. Low
torque may result in poor contact of the seats due to a loose spark plug. Overtightening may cause
the spark plug shell to be stretched and will result in poor contact between the seats. In extreme
cases, exhaust blow-by and damage beyond simple gap wear may occur.
Cracked or broken insulators may be the result of improper installation, damage during spark plug
re-gapping, or heat shock to the insulator material. Upper insulators can be broken when a poorly
fitting tool is used during installation or removal, when the spark plug is hit from the outside, or is
dropped on a hard surface. Cracks in the upper insulator may be inside the shell and not visible.
Also, the breakage may not cause problems until oil or moisture penetrates the crack later.
A broken or cracked lower insulator tip (around the center electrode) may result from damage
during re-gapping or from "heat shock" (spark plug suddenly operating too hot).
- Damage during re-gapping can happen if the gapping tool is pushed against the center electrode
or the insulator around it, causing the insulator to crack. When re-gapping a spark plug, make the
adjustment by bending only the ground side terminal, keeping the tool clear of other parts.
- "Heat shock" breakage in the lower insulator tip generally occurs during several engine operating
conditions (high speeds or heavy loading) and may be caused by over-advanced timing or low
grade fuels. Heat shock refers to a rapid increase in the tip temperature that causes the insulator
material to crack.
Spark plugs with less than the recommended amount of service can sometimes be cleaned and
re-gapped then returned to service. However, if there is any doubt about the serviceability of a
spark plug, replace it. Spark plugs with cracked or broken insulators should always be replaced.

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 12V 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 "Vi" 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 measure voltage should be within the specified (14.4 ± 0.3 volts) limits. If it is not,
the regulator must be replaced.

Powertrain Control Module: Service and Repair Reprogramming the PCM
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.
EEPROM Programming
1. Set-up - Ensure that the following conditions have been met:
- 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.
Functional Check
1. Perform the On-Board Diagnostic System Check. 2. Start the engine and run for least one
minute. 3. Check for DTCs using Scan Tool. 4. If the PCM fails to program, proceed as follow:
- Ensure that all PCM connections are OK.
- Check the ITCS for latest version software.
- Attempt to program PCM again. If PCM still cannot be programmed properly, replace PCM. The
replacement PCM must be programmed.

Wires
Wire insulation can be one color, or one color with another color stripe. (The second color is the
stripe.)

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 MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): Honda/Passport 1998-2002 Isuzu/Axiom 2002
Isuzu/Rodeo 1998-2002 MANUFACTURER: Isuzu Manufacturing Services of America
MFR'S REPORT DATE: September 22, 2010
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The engine 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.

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.

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.*

(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.

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.

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.

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 megohms
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 (0DM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

01-007
October 16, 2001
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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

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 4729
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.
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,
however, a Zener diode allows current to flow in reverse.
Fuses
Page 6287
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

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.

21. Remove and discard the frame rail side hole plug from both frame rails.
22. Using a hammer, knock on the outside of both frame rails to loosen any rust on the inside of the
frame.
23. Using a wire brush and a scraper, remove any loose frame coating and rust from the outside
frame rail. Clean 10 inches (250 mm) forward and rearward of the bracket area.
24. Use a dry rag to remove any remaining dust or debris.
25. Temporarily install both type B reinforcement brackets using new body mount studs and nuts,
and C-clamps:
^ Secure the bracket to the frame using the new body mount stud and nut at the upper link bracket.
^ Firmly push the bracket up against the frame, and clamp it into place with a C-clamp. Make sure
the C-clamp compresses the bracket against the frame
so there is no possibility of bracket movement when drilling pilot holes into the frame.
Page 4898
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).

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).

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

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. Below 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

consideration, and get a decision, before starting work.
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.
Description and Operation
Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation
With the ignition switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied to the A/T gear position switch
through fuse 14. The A/T gear position 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 meter assembly, causing it to come on.
Page 4491
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.

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
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 rotor is press-fit in the axle shaft. The 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.

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

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.

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 5988
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. Below 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.

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).

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.

Tires: Service and Repair 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.

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.

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.

"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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

Powertrain Control Module: Service and Repair Reprogramming the PCM
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.
EEPROM Programming
1. Set-up - Ensure that the following conditions have been met:
- 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.
Functional Check
1. Perform the On-Board Diagnostic System Check. 2. Start the engine and run for least one
minute. 3. Check for DTCs using Scan Tool. 4. If the PCM fails to program, proceed as follow:
- Ensure that all PCM connections are OK.
- Check the ITCS for latest version software.
- Attempt to program PCM again. If PCM still cannot be programmed properly, replace PCM. The
replacement PCM must be programmed.

TOE-IN:
This illustration shows view from the top of the vehicle. Toe-in is the measured amount the front
wheels are turn 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.

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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.

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.
BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING
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. In replenishing brake fluid, take care that air bubbles do not enter the brake
fluid.
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.
BLEEDING THE MASTER CYLINDER 7. Disconnect the rear wheel brake pipe (1) from the master
cylinder.

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 7610
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.
Page 7960
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.

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

EVAP Canister Purge Valve Solenoid Check
Canister Purge Solenoid: Testing and Inspection EVAP Canister Purge Valve Solenoid 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.

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 2980
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.

Skill Level: Repair Technician
Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill
consideration by the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request
consideration, and get a decision, before starting work.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Retrieve the PCM broadcast code with the PGM Tester or the Smart Cable (refer to Service
Bulletin 99-005, Updathg the Passport PCM).
Page 5218
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.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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. 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.
Refrigerant Recovery
Refrigerant: Service and Repair Refrigerant Recovery
Air conditioning systems contain HFC-134a. This is a chemical mixture which requires special
handling procedures to avoid personal injury.
- Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
- Always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not weld or steam clean on or near any vehicle-installed
air conditioning lines or components.
- If HFC-134a should come in contact with any part of the body, flush the exposed area with cold
water and immediately seek medical help.
- If it is necessary to transport or carry any container of HFC-134a in a vehicle, do not carry it in the
passenger compartment.
- If it is necessary to fill a small HFC-134a container from a large one, never fill the container
completely. Space should always be allowed above the liquid for expansion.
- HFC-134a and R-12 should never be mixed as their compositions are not the same.
- HFC-134a PAG oil tends to absorb moisture more quickly than R-12 mineral oil and, therefore,
should be handled more carefully.
- Keep HFC-134a containers stored below 40 °C (100 °F).
WARNING:
- SHOULD HFC-134A CONTACT YOUR EYE(S), CONSULT A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
- DO NOT RUB THE AFFECTED EYE(S). INSTEAD, SPLASH QUANTITIES OF FRESH COLD
WATER OVER THE AFFECTED AREA TO GRADUALLY RAISE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
REFRIGERANT ABOVE THE FREEZING POINT.
- OBTAIN PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SHOULD THE HFC-134A
TOUCH THE SKIN, THE INJURY MUST BE TREATED THE SAME AS SKIN WHICH HAS BEEN
FROSTBITTEN OR FROZEN.
Refrigerant Recovery The refrigerant must be discharged and recovered by using the J-39500
(ACR4:HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent before
removing or mounting air conditioning parts.
1. Connect the high and low charging hoses of the ACR4 (or equivalent). 2. Recover the refrigerant
by following the Manufacturer's Instructions. 3. When a part is removed, put a cap or a plug on the
connecting portion so that dust, dirt or moisture cannot get into it.
Refrigerant Recycling Recycle the refrigerant recovered by J-39500 (ACR4:HFC-134a Refrigerant

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.

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

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.

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

Drive Belt: Service and Repair
Drive Belt and Cooling Fan
The drive belt adjustment is not required as automatic drive belt tensioner is equipped.
Inspection
Check drive belt for wear or damage, and replace with a new one as necessary.
Installation
1. Install cooling fan assembly and tighten bolts/nuts to the specified torque.
Torque: 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) for fan pulley and fan bracket. Torque: 7.5 Nm (66.4 inch lbs.) for fan

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: Service and Repair Tire Replacement
TIRE REPLACEMENT
When replacement is necessary, the original metric the 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 cap on 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.
Wheel Inspection
Damaged wheels and wheels with excessive run-out must be replaced. Wheel run out at rim (Base
on hub Bore) is shown in provided table.

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.

current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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.

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.

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

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Page 6781
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.

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.

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

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.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Description and Operation Lateral Runout
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.

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.
Page 2984
Page 3411
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.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation General Description
General Description
Restraint Devices
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps supplement the protection offered by the driver
and front passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag from the center of the steering wheel and
from the top of the right side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30
degrees off the centerline of the vehicle; To further absorb the crash energy there is a knee bolster
located beneath the instrument panel for both the driver and passenger, and the steering column is
collapsible.
Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The engine 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.

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

Lubricate the new O-ring with engine oil. 4. Install the lubricated O-ring.
Page 274
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.

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.

REMOVAL PROCEDURE
NOTE:
- Do not attempt to remove the fuel inlet fitting on the fuel rail. It is staked in place. Removing the
fuel inlet fitting will result in damage to the fuel rail or the internal O-ring seal.
- Use care when removing the fuel rail assembly in order to prevent damage to the injector
electrical connector terminals and the injector spray tips.
- Fittings should be capped and holes plugged during servicing to prevent dirt and other
contaminants from entering open lines and passages.
IMPORTANT: An eight-digit identification number is stamped on the side of the fuel rail. Refer to
this number when you service the fuel rail or when a replacement part is required.
Before removal, the fuel rail assembly may be cleaned with a spray type engine cleaner. Follow the
spray package instructions. Do not immerse the fuel rails in liquid cleaning solvent.
1. Depressurize the fuel system. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Procedure. 2. Disconnect the
negative battery cable. 3. Remove the engine cover. 4. Disconnect the throttle position sensor
electrical connector from throttle body. 5. Disconnect the connectors from manifold absolute
pressure sensor, solenoid valve, electric vacuum sensing valve. 6. Disconnect the vacuum hose on
canister VSV and positive crankcase ventilation hose.
7. Remove the common chamber.
- Lift up carefully on the fuel injectors. Do not separate the fuel injectors from the fuel rail.
- If an injector becomes separated from the fuel rail, the infector O-ring seals and the retainer clip
must be replaced.
- Drain residual fuel into an approved container.
8. If removal of the fuel pressure regulator is necessary. 9. If removal of the fuel injectors is
necessary.

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.

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 990
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 TIP: A blocked cooling hose for the heater blower motor can cause the motor to
overheat, draw more current, blow a fuse, or even melt its plastic impeller. Before you order a
replacement blower motor, make sure the cooling hose isn't blocked. On some models, you'll find
the cooling hose molded into the blower motor housing; on other models, it's a separate piece.
Check the S/M for the vehicle you're working on to determine the actual location of the cooling
hose.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.).

for any reason, you must adjust the APPS. *This procedure is missing in the 2000 service manual
and is wrong in the 2001 and 2002 service manuals. Make a note on page 6E2-539 of the 2000
Passport Fuel and Emissions manual, on page 6E2-553 of the 2001 Passport Fuel and Emissions
manual, and on page 6E2-545 of the 2002 Passport Fuel and Emissions manual to refer to this
bulletin.*
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Replace the APPS or the accelerator pedal assembly, and leave the mounting screws for the
APPS loose.
2. Connect the PGM Tester to the data link connector (DLC), and turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
*3. 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 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
PCM, and repeat step 3.

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.

Applies To: 2000-02 Passport - ALL 2000-02 Passport: High or Erratic Idle
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.

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 of the page, 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

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.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 megohms 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.
Description and Operation
A/C Signal: Description and Operation
A/C Request Signal
This signal tells the PCM when the A/C mode is selected at the A/C control head. The PCM uses
this to adjust the idle speed before turning "ON" the A/C clutch. The A/C compressor will be
inoperative if this signal is not available to the PCM.
Refer to A/C Clutch Circuit Diagnosis for A/C wiring diagrams and diagnosis for the A/C electrical
system.

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.

Low Fuel Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
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 tell tank. When the
tell 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 PGM Tester. In the
"ENGINE\MISC TESTS\FUEL GAUGE" menu, the PGM Tester can command the PCM to move
the gauge in 10% increments.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Retrieve the PCM broadcast code with the PGM Tester or the Smart Cable (refer to Service
Bulletin 99-005, Updathg the Passport PCM).
Page 1025
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.

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.

Applies To: 2000-02 Passport - ALL 2000-02 Passport: High or Erratic Idle
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.
PARTS INFORMATION

Page 3375
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.

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

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.

Drive Belt: Service and Repair
Drive Belt and Cooling Fan
The drive belt adjustment is not required as automatic drive belt tensioner is equipped.
Inspection
Check drive belt for wear or damage, and replace with a new one as necessary.
Installation
1. Install cooling fan assembly and tighten bolts/nuts to the specified torque.
Torque: 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) for fan pulley and fan bracket. Torque: 7.5 Nm (66.4 inch lbs.) for fan
and clutch assembly.
Note: Fan belts for 6VD1 Gasoline Engine mounted on 98-> Passport have been brought into one.
As a result, the rotating direction of a fan belt is opposite to the direction of cooling fan for <-97
Passport 3.2 with no interchangeability. Therefore, incorrect installation of a fan may cause the air
for cooling to now in the opposite direction, this resulting in the poor performance of the
air-conditioner and a rise temperature in engine cooling water.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
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 rotor is press-fit in the axle shaft. The 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

1. Adjust the stop light switch to the specified clearance (between switch housing and brake pedal)
by rotating the switch housing.
NOTE: Do not attempt to force the push rod into position during the stop light switch installation
and adjustment procedure.
2. Connect connector (1). 3. Install lock nut (3).
Page 4492
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 793
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.
Page 3746
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.

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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
The EHCU consists of ABS control circuits, fault detector, and a fail-safe. It drives the hydraulic unit
according to the signal from each sensor, cancelling ABS to return to normal braking when a
malfunction has occurred in the ABS. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Service Precautions
Brake Master Cylinder: Service Precautions
CAUTION: Use only specified brake fluid. Do not use any fluid which contains a petroleum base.
Do not use a container which has been used for petroleum based fluids or a container which is wet
with water. Petroleum based fluid will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic
brake system. Water mixed with brake fluid lowers the fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination. Always fill the master cylinder reservoir when the engine is cold.
Never allow the brake fluid to come in contact with the painted surfaces. The master cylinder
reservoir must be kept properly filled to ensure adequate reserve and to prevent air and moisture
from entering the hydraulic system However, because of expansion due to heat absorbed from the
brakes and the engine, the reservoir must not be overfilled. The brake fluid reservoir is on the
master cylinder, which is located under the hood on the left side of the cowl. Thoroughly clean
reservoir cap before removal to avoid getting dirt into reservoir. Remove the diaphragm. Add fluid
as required to bring level to the "MAX" mark on the reservoir tank. Use "DOT 3" Hydraulic Brake
Fluid. If the fluid cap diaphragm is stretched, return it to the original position before installing.

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.

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.
After the APS signal has been processed by the PCM, it will command DC motor to allow
movement of throttle position.
Diagnostic Aids
- An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbed-through wire insulation or a wire
broken inside the insulation. Check for poor connections or a damaged harness. Inspect the PCM
harness and connector for improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, poor terminal-to-wire connection, and damaged harness.
- Throttle body - Check for objects blocking the DC motor or throttle bore, excessive deposits in the
ETC passage and on the valve spring, and excessive deposits in the throttle bore and on the
throttle valve plate.
- Acceleration pedal - Check for objects blocking the AP sensor or pedal arm with spring, and
excessive deposits in the acceleration pedal arm and on the acceleration pedal.

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.
Page 3088
EGR Valve: Description and Operation
Linear EGR Valve Operation and Results of Incorrect Operation
The linear EGR valve is designed to accurately supply EGR to the engine independent of intake
manifold vacuum. The valve controls EGR flow from the exhaust to the intake manifold through an
orifice with a PCM controlled pintle. During operation, the PCM controls pintle position by
monitoring the pintle position feedback signal. The feedback signal can be monitored with a Tech 2
as "Actual EGR POS." "Actual EGR POS." should always be near the commanded EGR position
("Desired EGR POS."). If a problem with the EGR system will not allow the PCM to control the
pintle position properly, DTC P1406 will set. The PCM also tests for EGR flow. If incorrect flow is
detected, DTC P0401 will set. If DTCs P0401 and/or P1406 are set, refer to the DTC charts.
The linear EGR valve is usually activated under the following conditions:
- Warm engine operation.
- Above-idle speed.
Too much EGR flow at idle, cruise or cold operation may cause any of the following conditions to
occur:
- Engine stalls after a cold start.
- Engine stalls at idle after deceleration.
- Vehicle surges during cruise.
- Rough idle.
- DTC P0300 (misfire detected).
Too little or no EGR flow may allow combustion temperatures to get too high. This could cause:
- Spark knock (detonation).
- Engine overheating.
- Emission test failure.
- DTC P0401 (EGR flow test).
- Poor fuel economy.

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.

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.

Refrigerant Recovery
Refrigerant: Service and Repair Refrigerant Recovery
Air conditioning systems contain HFC-134a. This is a chemical mixture which requires special
handling procedures to avoid personal injury.
- Always wear safety goggles and protective gloves.
- Always work in a well-ventilated area. Do not weld or steam clean on or near any vehicle-installed
air conditioning lines or components.
- If HFC-134a should come in contact with any part of the body, flush the exposed area with cold
water and immediately seek medical help.
- If it is necessary to transport or carry any container of HFC-134a in a vehicle, do not carry it in the
passenger compartment.
- If it is necessary to fill a small HFC-134a container from a large one, never fill the container
completely. Space should always be allowed above the liquid for expansion.
- HFC-134a and R-12 should never be mixed as their compositions are not the same.
- HFC-134a PAG oil tends to absorb moisture more quickly than R-12 mineral oil and, therefore,
should be handled more carefully.
- Keep HFC-134a containers stored below 40 °C (100 °F).
WARNING:
- SHOULD HFC-134A CONTACT YOUR EYE(S), CONSULT A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.
- DO NOT RUB THE AFFECTED EYE(S). INSTEAD, SPLASH QUANTITIES OF FRESH COLD
WATER OVER THE AFFECTED AREA TO GRADUALLY RAISE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE
REFRIGERANT ABOVE THE FREEZING POINT.
- OBTAIN PROPER MEDICAL TREATMENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SHOULD THE HFC-134A
TOUCH THE SKIN, THE INJURY MUST BE TREATED THE SAME AS SKIN WHICH HAS BEEN
FROSTBITTEN OR FROZEN.
Refrigerant Recovery The refrigerant must be discharged and recovered by using the J-39500
(ACR4:HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent before
removing or mounting air conditioning parts.
1. Connect the high and low charging hoses of the ACR4 (or equivalent). 2. Recover the refrigerant
by following the Manufacturer's Instructions. 3. When a part is removed, put a cap or a plug on the
connecting portion so that dust, dirt or moisture cannot get into it.
Refrigerant Recycling Recycle the refrigerant recovered by J-39500 (ACR4:HFC-134a Refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling/Recharging/System) or equivalent. For the details of the actual operation,
follow the steps in the ACR4 (or equivalent) Manufacturer's Instructions.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

Installation
To install, follow the removal steps in the reverse order, noting the following point:
1. Push the switch with your fingers until it locks securely.
Page 4870
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.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum 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.

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.

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.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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
Page 7877
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.

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.

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.

Accelerator Pedal: Vehicle Damage Warnings
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.

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.

Brake Fluid: Vehicle Damage Warnings
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.

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. Below 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols is given under wire color abbreviation.
Power Distribution Schematics

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 217
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.

ATF Cooler Cleaner
(Supersedes 89-022, dated June 18, 2004, to update the information marked by asterisks)
Before installing an overhauled or remanufactured A/T, you must thoroughly clean the ATF cooler
to prevent system contamination. Failure to do so could cause a repeat A/T failure. The ATF Cooler
Cleaner (PIN GTHTTCF6H) is a portable, electrically operated special tool that cleans the ATF
cooler with high- pressure, heated ATF. This cleaning action melts down waxy varnish residue left
by burnt ATF and purges metal particles, clutch material, and other contaminants. The ATF Cooler
Cleaner has these features:
^ Quick-connect fittings and color-coded hoses for easy hookup.
^ Uses about 9.5 gallons of Honda ATF-Z1, which gets filtered and recirculated.
^ Heats ATF to a temperature of 1400 to 150°F and then pumps it through the ATF cooler at high
pressure (100 psi) using a pulsating action and air purging. Switching the hoses cleans the ATF
cooler in the reverse direction.
^ Two magnetic nonbypass spin-on filters to trap purged contaminants.
^ Built-in tool tray.
This service bulletin gives you information for ordering and servicing this special tool, and guides
you through the entire ATF cooler cleaning process.

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 Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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.

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.
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 NOT 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 above.

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.

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 /
terminal shown is # 6.

Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair 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 will not meet the specification. Minimum wear dimension: 24.60 mm
(0.969 inch) Refinish dimension: 24.97 mm (0.983 inch)

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.

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 Precautions
Suspension Control Module: Service Precautions
The Intelligent Suspension System interfaces directly with the Control Unit 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 Control Unit 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.

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.
EEPROM Programming
1. Set-up - Ensure that the following conditions have been met:
- 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.
Functional Check
1. Perform the On-Board Diagnostic System Check. 2. Start the engine and run for least one
minute. 3. Check for DTCs using Scan Tool. 4. If the PCM fails to program, proceed as follow:
- Ensure that all PCM connections are OK.
- Check the ITCS for latest version software.
- Attempt to program PCM again. If PCM still cannot be programmed properly, replace PCM. The
replacement PCM must be programmed.

allows for diagnostic testing through the data link connector (DLC).
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.

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 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.

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.

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. Below 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 complete description of schematic symbols is given under wire color abbreviation.
Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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
Page 3599
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. 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.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Description and Operation
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.
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.

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 /

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
The EHCU consists of ABS control circuits, fault detector, and a fail-safe. It drives the hydraulic unit
according to the signal from each sensor, cancelling ABS to return to normal braking when a
malfunction has occurred in the ABS. 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.

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

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.

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 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 /

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.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory operation at idling speed, they frequency
fail at higher engine speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel economy, power loss, loss of
speed, hard starting and generally poor engine performance. Follow the scheduled maintenance
service recommendations to ensure satisfactory spark plug performance. Refer to Maintenance
and Lubrication.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to grayish-tan deposits appearing on the insulator
portion of the spark plug. A small amount of red-brown, yellow, and white powdery material may
also be present on the insulator tip around the center electrode. These deposits are normal
combustion by-products of fuels and lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode wear will also
occur. Engines which are not running properly are often referred to as "misfiring." This means the
ignition spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the proper time. While other ignition and fuel
system causes must also be considered, possible causes include ignition system conditions which
allow the spark voltage to reach ground in some other manner than by jumping across the air gap
at the tip of the spark plug, leaving the air/fuel mixture unburned. Refer to DTC P0300. Misfiring
may also occur when the tip of the spark plug becomes overheated and ignites the mixture before
the spark jumps. This is referred to as "pre-ignition."
Spark plugs may also misfire due to fouling, excessive gap, or a cracked or broken insulator. If
misfiring occurs before the recommended replacement interval, locate and correct the cause.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry, black carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of
the spark plug in the cylinder. Excessive idling and slow speeds under light engine loads can keep
the spark plug temperatures so low that these deposits are not burned off. Very rich fuel mixtures
or poor ignition system output may also be the cause. Refer to DTC P0172.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the
cylinder, usually with little electrode wear. This may be caused by oil during break-in of new or
newly overhauled engines. Deposit fouling of the spark plug occurs when the normal red-brown,
yellow or white deposits of combustion by products become sufficient to cause misfiring. In some
cases, these deposits may melt and form a shiny glaze on the insulator around the center
electrode. If the fouling is found in only one or two cylinders, valve stem clearances or intake valve
seals may be allowing excess lubricating oil to enter the cylinder, particularly if the deposits are
heavier on the side of the spark plug facing the intake valve.
Excessive gap means that the air space between the center and the side electrodes at the bottom
of the spark plug is too wide for consistent firing. This

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.

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.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum 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.

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.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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.

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.

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 306
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.

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 megohms
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 (0DM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

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
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.

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.
SRS Coil Assembly
Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Service and Repair SRS Coil Assembly
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 SRS. (Refer to "Disabling the SRS".)

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 2372
may be due to improper gap adjustment or to excessive wear of the electrode during use. A check
of the gap size and comparison to the gap specified for the vehicle in Maintenance and Lubrication
will tell if the gap is too wide. A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an unstable idle
condition. Excessive gap wear can be an indication of continuous operation at high speeds or with
engine loads, causing the spark to run too hot. Another possible cause is an excessively lean fuel
mixture.
Low or high spark plug installation torque or improper seating can result in the spark plug running
too hot and can cause excessive center electrode wear. The plug and the cylinder head seats must
be in good contact for proper heat transfer and spark plug cooling. Dirty or damaged threads in the
head or on the spark plug can keep it from seating even though the proper torque is applied. Once
spark plugs are properly seated, tighten them to the torque shown in the Specifications Table. Low
torque may result in poor contact of the seats due to a loose spark plug. Overtightening may cause
the spark plug shell to be stretched and will result in poor contact between the seats. In extreme
cases, exhaust blow-by and damage beyond simple gap wear may occur.
Cracked or broken insulators may be the result of improper installation, damage during spark plug
re-gapping, or heat shock to the insulator material. Upper insulators can be broken when a poorly
fitting tool is used during installation or removal, when the spark plug is hit from the outside, or is
dropped on a hard surface. Cracks in the upper insulator may be inside the shell and not visible.
Also, the breakage may not cause problems until oil or moisture penetrates the crack later.
A broken or cracked lower insulator tip (around the center electrode) may result from damage
during re-gapping or from "heat shock" (spark plug suddenly operating too hot).
- Damage during re-gapping can happen if the gapping tool is pushed against the center electrode
or the insulator around it, causing the insulator to crack. When re-gapping a spark plug, make the
adjustment by bending only the ground side terminal, keeping the tool clear of other parts.
- "Heat shock" breakage in the lower insulator tip generally occurs during several engine operating
conditions (high speeds or heavy loading) and may be caused by over-advanced timing or low
grade fuels. Heat shock refers to a rapid increase in the tip temperature that causes the insulator
material to crack.
Spark plugs with less than the recommended amount of service can sometimes be cleaned and
re-gapped then returned to service. However, if there is any doubt about the serviceability of a
spark plug, replace it. Spark plugs with cracked or broken insulators should always be replaced.

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
connector face.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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 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. Below 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.

Assembling Advice
Application of engine oil or light oil to the pipe facilitates connecting work. The work should be
started immediately after lubrication, since dust may stick to the pipe surface to cause poor
sealability if a long time passes after lubrication.
Test/Inspection After Assembling
1. Reconnect the battery negative cable. 2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position and check
pump startup sound. As the pump is actuated to raise fuel pressure, check and see fuel leak
from the piping system.
3. Make sure of no fuel leakage by conducting the above fuel leak check a few times. 4. Start the
engine and make sure of stable idling speed and normal vehicle run.The entry of dust during the
work may sometimes affect the fuel
injection system.

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.

3. Connect the electrical connector. 4. Fill the radiator with coolant. Refer to Draining and Refilling
Cooling System. 5. Connect the negative battery cable.
Description and Operation
EGR Valve Position Sensor: Description and Operation
EGR Pintle Position Sensor
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input to endure that the valve responds properly
to commands from the PCM and to detect a fault if the pintle position sensor and control circuits
are open or shorted. If the PCM detects a pintle position signal voltage outside the normal range of
the pintle position sensor, or a signal voltage that is not within a tolerance considered acceptable
for proper EGR system operation, the PCM will set DTC P1406.

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 4562
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.

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.

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 12V 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 "Vi" 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 measure voltage should be within the specified (14.4 ± 0.3 volts) limits. If it is not,
the regulator must be replaced.

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.

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.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory operation at idling speed, they frequency
fail at higher engine speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel economy, power loss, loss of
speed, hard starting and generally poor engine performance. Follow the scheduled maintenance
service recommendations to ensure satisfactory spark plug performance. Refer to Maintenance
and Lubrication.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to grayish-tan deposits appearing on the insulator
portion of the spark plug. A small amount of red-brown, yellow, and white powdery material may
also be present on the insulator tip around the center electrode. These deposits are normal
combustion by-products of fuels and lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode wear will also
occur. Engines which are not running properly are often referred to as "misfiring." This means the
ignition spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the proper time. While other ignition and fuel
system causes must also be considered, possible causes include ignition system conditions which
allow the spark voltage to reach ground in some other manner than by jumping across the air gap
at the tip of the spark plug, leaving the air/fuel mixture unburned. Refer to DTC P0300. Misfiring
may also occur when the tip of the spark plug becomes overheated and ignites the mixture before
the spark jumps. This is referred to as "pre-ignition."
Spark plugs may also misfire due to fouling, excessive gap, or a cracked or broken insulator. If
misfiring occurs before the recommended replacement interval, locate and correct the cause.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry, black carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of
the spark plug in the cylinder. Excessive idling and slow speeds under light engine loads can keep
the spark plug temperatures so low that these deposits are not burned off. Very rich fuel mixtures
or poor ignition system output may also be the cause. Refer to DTC P0172.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the
cylinder, usually with little electrode wear. This may be caused by oil during break-in of new or
newly overhauled engines. Deposit fouling of the spark plug occurs when the normal red-brown,
yellow or white deposits of combustion by products become sufficient to cause misfiring. In some
cases, these deposits may melt and form a shiny glaze on the insulator around the center
electrode. If the fouling is found in only one or two cylinders, valve stem clearances or intake valve
seals may be allowing excess lubricating oil to enter the cylinder, particularly if the deposits are
heavier on the side of the spark plug facing the intake valve.
Excessive gap means that the air space between the center and the side electrodes at the bottom
of the spark plug is too wide for consistent firing. This

Description and Operation
Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
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 one side of each diaphragm to provide the power assist When
the service brake is released, the atmospheric air is shut off from the one side of each 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.

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.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum 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.
Page 2310
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

Tires: Testing and Inspection 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.

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. Below 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

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.

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 /

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.

^ 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.

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

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.
UNIVERSAL JOINT
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.

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.

Tires: Testing and Inspection
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
If the following 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 following 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.

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.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.

Suspension Control Module: Service Precautions
The Intelligent Suspension System interfaces directly with the Control Unit 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 Control Unit 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.

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.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory operation at idling speed, they frequency
fail at higher engine speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel economy, power loss, loss of
speed, hard starting and generally poor engine performance. Follow the scheduled maintenance
service recommendations to ensure satisfactory spark plug performance. Refer to Maintenance
and Lubrication.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to grayish-tan deposits appearing on the insulator
portion of the spark plug. A small amount of red-brown, yellow, and white powdery material may
also be present on the insulator tip around the center electrode. These deposits are normal
combustion by-products of fuels and lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode wear will also
occur. Engines which are not running properly are often referred to as "misfiring." This means the
ignition spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the proper time. While other ignition and fuel
system causes must also be considered, possible causes include ignition system conditions which
allow the spark voltage to reach ground in some other manner than by jumping across the air gap
at the tip of the spark plug, leaving the air/fuel mixture unburned. Refer to DTC P0300. Misfiring
may also occur when the tip of the spark plug becomes overheated and ignites the mixture before
the spark jumps. This is referred to as "pre-ignition."
Spark plugs may also misfire due to fouling, excessive gap, or a cracked or broken insulator. If
misfiring occurs before the recommended replacement interval, locate and correct the cause.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry, black carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of
the spark plug in the cylinder. Excessive idling and slow speeds under light engine loads can keep
the spark plug temperatures so low that these deposits are not burned off. Very rich fuel mixtures
or poor ignition system output may also be the cause. Refer to DTC P0172.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the
cylinder, usually with little electrode wear. This may be caused by oil during break-in of new or
newly overhauled engines. Deposit fouling of the spark plug occurs when the normal red-brown,
yellow or white deposits of combustion by products become sufficient to cause misfiring. In some
cases, these deposits may melt and form a shiny glaze on the insulator around the center
electrode. If the fouling is found in only one or two cylinders, valve stem clearances or intake valve
seals may be allowing excess lubricating oil to enter the cylinder, particularly if the deposits are
heavier on the side of the spark plug facing the intake valve.
Excessive gap means that the air space between the center and the side electrodes at the bottom
of the spark plug is too wide for consistent firing. This

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).

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.
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 NOT 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 above.

October 16, 2001
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.

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 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 megohms 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.

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.

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.

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 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. Below 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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 /

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.

Irregular and Premature Wear
Tires: Testing and Inspection 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description and Operation
Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation
"Air Bag" Warning Lamp
Ignition voltage is applied to the "AIR BAG" warning lamp when the ignition switch is at the ON or
START positions. The SDM controls the lamp by providing ground with a lamp driver. The "AIR
BAG" warning lamp is used in the SRS to do the following:
1. Verify lamp and SDM operation by flashing SEVEN (7) times when the ignition switch is first
turned "ON". 2. Warn the vehicle driver of SRS electrical system malfunctions which could
potentially affect the operation of the SRS. These malfunctions could
result in nondeployment in case of a frontal crash or deployment for conditions less severe than
intended.
The "AIR BAG" warning lamp is the key to driver notification of SRS malfunctions. For proper lamp
operation, refer to the "SRS Diagnostic System Check".

Coolant: Description and Operation
Anti Freeze Solution
Relation between the mixing ratio and freezing temperature of the Engine Coolant varies with the
ratio of anti-freeze solution in water. Proper mixing ratio can be determined by referring to the
chart. Supplemental inhibitors or additives claiming to increase cooling capability that have not
been specifically approved by Isuzu are not recommended for addition to the cooling system.
- Calculating mixing ratio
Notice: Antifreeze solution + Water = Total cooling system capacity.
Mixing Ratio
Check the specific gravity of engine coolant in the cooling system temperature ranges from O°C to
50°C using a suction type hydrometer, then determine the density of the engine coolant by referring
to the table.
Notice: 1. Even in the areas where the atmospheric temperature is higher than 0°C, be sure not to
use antifreeze solution at a mixing ratio lower than 20% so
that the inside of the engine may not be corroded.

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

Heated Element: Description and Operation
Voltage is applied at all times through fuse 19 to the rear window defogger relay coil. With the
ignition switch in ON, voltage is applied through fuse 16 to the rear window defogger relay
contacts. When you depress the rear window defogger switch, the ECM or PCM receives a ground
input from the switch and, in turn, the ECM or PCM provides ground to the coils of the rear window
defogger relay. The contacts close, applying ignition voltage to the rear window defogger, rear
window defogger indicator light (through fuses 9 and 10), and the left and right power mirror
defoggers (through fuse 8). The ECM or PCM acts as the timer for the rear window defogger relay
and keeps the contacts closed, thus maintaining the operation of the rear window defogger, left and
right mirror defoggers, and indicator light for 10 minutes or until the ignition switch is turned to
"ACC" or "OFF", or the rear window defogger switch is depressed again. The rear window and
mirrors heat to remove any fog from the glass and the indicator stays on to remind the driver that it
is in use.

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.

Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diagnostic Chart: 2. Relieve the fuel pressure
by connecting the J 34730-1 Fuel Pressure Gauge to the fuel pressure connection on the fuel rail.
CAUTION: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, wrap a shop towel around the fuel
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.
Injector Specifications
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.
- The voltage displayed by the DVM may increase throughout the test as the fuel injector windings
warm and the resistance of the fuel injector windings changes.
- An erratic voltage reading (large fluctuations in voltage that do not stabilize) indicates an
intermittent connection within the fuel injector.
5. Injector Specifications:
7. The Fuel Injector Balance Test portion of this chart (Step 7 through Step 11) checks the
mechanical (fuel delivery) portion of the fuel injector. An
engine cool-down period of 10 minutes is necessary in order to avoid irregular fuel pressure
readings due to Hot Soak" fuel boiling.

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. Below 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols is given under wire color abbreviation.
Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.
From Battery to Ignition Switch, Fuses, and Relays Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse.

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.

Description and Operation
Acceleration/Deceleration Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION/OPERATION
The G-sensor installed inside the 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 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.

Heater Control Valve Cable: Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Heater Blows Cold Air, A/C Blows
Warm Air
SOURCE: Honda Service News
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.

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.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation General Description
General Description
Restraint Devices
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) helps supplement the protection offered by the driver
and front passenger seat belts by deploying an air bag from the center of the steering wheel and
from the top of the right side of the instrument panel.
The air bag deploys when the vehicle is involved in a frontal crash of sufficient force up to 30
degrees off the centerline of the vehicle; To further absorb the crash energy there is a knee bolster
located beneath the instrument panel for both the driver and passenger, and the steering column is
collapsible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

May 23, 2000)
Updated information is shown by asterisks and black bars.
BACKGROUND
When the accelerator pedal position sensor (APPS) or the accelerator pedal assembly is replaced
for any reason, you must adjust the APPS. *This procedure is missing in the 2000 service manual
and is wrong in the 2001 and 2002 service manuals. Make a note on page 6E2-539 of the 2000
Passport Fuel and Emissions manual, on page 6E2-553 of the 2001 Passport Fuel and Emissions
manual, and on page 6E2-545 of the 2002 Passport Fuel and Emissions manual to refer to this
bulletin.*
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
1. Replace the APPS or the accelerator pedal assembly, and leave the mounting screws for the
APPS loose.
2. Connect the PGM Tester to the data link connector (DLC), and turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
*3. 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 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
PCM, and repeat step 3.

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.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

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).

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.

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.

If the snap ring is stuck in position, remove paint from the hole in the yoke or tap around the edge
of the bearing lightly with a soft drift.
2. Set the yoke in the arbor press with a piece of tube stock beneath it. Place a solid plug on the
upper bearing and press it through to release the
lower bearing.
3. If the bearing will not pull out by hand after pressing, tap the base of the lug near the bearing to
dislodge it.
4. To remove the opposite bearing, turn the yoke over and straighten the spider in the open spider
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 it.
5. Repeat this procedure on the remaining bearing to remove the spider from the yoke.
INSPECTION
Page 4228
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. 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.

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.

3. Remove the screw while pulling the inside lever toward you and then remove the inside handle.
4. Remove the speaker grille (1).
- Pull out the front side of the grille.
5. Remove the speaker assembly (2).
- Remove 4 screws and disconnect the speaker harness connector (3).
6. Remove the courtesy light lens.
Page 505
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 1971
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.

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.

Valve Guide Replacement
1. Using Valve guide replacer: J-42899, drive out the valve guide from the combustion chamber
side.
2. Apply engine oil to the outside of the valve guide. Using valve guide replacer J-42899, drive in a
new valve guide from the camshaft side, and
check the valve guide height. Valve guide upper end height: 13.0 mm (0.5118 inch) (Measured
from the cylinder head upper face)
3. Check the clearance. If the clearance is less than the specified value, ream the inside diameter
of valve guide. Using a sharp 6 mm reamer, ream
the valve guide to obtain the specified clearance.
Valve Seat
1. Measure the protrusion of the valve stem when a new valve is installed in the cylinder head. If
the protrusion of the valve stem exceeds the limit,
replace the valve seat insert or the cylinder head assembly. Protrusion of valve stem Intake
Standard: 39.32 mm (1.5480 inch)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

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.

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.

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 /

may be due to improper gap adjustment or to excessive wear of the electrode during use. A check
of the gap size and comparison to the gap specified for the vehicle in Maintenance and Lubrication
will tell if the gap is too wide. A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an unstable idle
condition. Excessive gap wear can be an indication of continuous operation at high speeds or with
engine loads, causing the spark to run too hot. Another possible cause is an excessively lean fuel
mixture.
Low or high spark plug installation torque or improper seating can result in the spark plug running
too hot and can cause excessive center electrode wear. The plug and the cylinder head seats must
be in good contact for proper heat transfer and spark plug cooling. Dirty or damaged threads in the
head or on the spark plug can keep it from seating even though the proper torque is applied. Once
spark plugs are properly seated, tighten them to the torque shown in the Specifications Table. Low
torque may result in poor contact of the seats due to a loose spark plug. Overtightening may cause
the spark plug shell to be stretched and will result in poor contact between the seats. In extreme
cases, exhaust blow-by and damage beyond simple gap wear may occur.
Cracked or broken insulators may be the result of improper installation, damage during spark plug
re-gapping, or heat shock to the insulator material. Upper insulators can be broken when a poorly
fitting tool is used during installation or removal, when the spark plug is hit from the outside, or is
dropped on a hard surface. Cracks in the upper insulator may be inside the shell and not visible.
Also, the breakage may not cause problems until oil or moisture penetrates the crack later.
A broken or cracked lower insulator tip (around the center electrode) may result from damage
during re-gapping or from "heat shock" (spark plug suddenly operating too hot).
- Damage during re-gapping can happen if the gapping tool is pushed against the center electrode
or the insulator around it, causing the insulator to crack. When re-gapping a spark plug, make the
adjustment by bending only the ground side terminal, keeping the tool clear of other parts.
- "Heat shock" breakage in the lower insulator tip generally occurs during several engine operating
conditions (high speeds or heavy loading) and may be caused by over-advanced timing or low
grade fuels. Heat shock refers to a rapid increase in the tip temperature that causes the insulator
material to crack.
Spark plugs with less than the recommended amount of service can sometimes be cleaned and
re-gapped then returned to service. However, if there is any doubt about the serviceability of a
spark plug, replace it. Spark plugs with cracked or broken insulators should always be replaced.

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 5682
Page 3452
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 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.

Powertrain Control Module: Service and Repair Reprogramming the PCM
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.
EEPROM Programming
1. Set-up - Ensure that the following conditions have been met:
- 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.
Functional Check
1. Perform the On-Board Diagnostic System Check. 2. Start the engine and run for least one
minute. 3. Check for DTCs using Scan Tool. 4. If the PCM fails to program, proceed as follow:
- Ensure that all PCM connections are OK.

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.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 162
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 7646
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.

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

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.

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.

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 6003
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.

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.

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.

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:
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.

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.

January 15, 2007
Applies To: ALL
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.

Compact Disc Player (CD): All 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.

Manifold Pressure/Vacuum 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.

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 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. Below 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols is given under wire color abbreviation.
Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.
From Battery to Ignition Switch, Fuses, and Relays Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse.
The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows the wiring "upstream" between the battery

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.
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.

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.

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 megohms
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 (0DM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

August 14, 2001
Applies To: 2000-02 Passport - ALL 2000-02 Passport: High or Erratic Idle
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.

3. Remove the window regulator handle.
- Remove the clip on the rear side of the regulator handle using a wire.
4. Remove the screw while pulling the inside lever toward you and then remove the inside handle.
5. Remove the 1 screw at the pull case.
6. Pull out the trim panel at the 8 clip positions.
- Disconnect the power window switch connector.
7. Remove the power window switch and pull case, if equipped.

4. Remove flange nut by using pinion flange holder J-8614-01. 5. Remove flange. 6. Remove oil
seal.
7. Remove outer bearing by using remover J-39602. 8. Remove collapsible spacer.
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make necessary correction or parts replacement if wear, damage, corrosion or any other abnormal
condition are found through inspection. Check the following parts. 1. Seal surface of the pinion. 2.
Cage bore for burns.
INSTALLATION
1. Install collapsible spacer. Discard the used collapsible spacer and install a new one. 2. Install
outer bearing.
NOTE: Do not drive in, but just temporarily set in the outer bearing by hand, which should be
indirectly pressed in finally by tightening the flange nut.
3. Install oil seal, use oil seal installer J-24250 to install a new oil seal that has grease on seal lip. 4.
Install flange.
Page 4607
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
Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
The fuel gauge consists of two intersecting coils wound around a permanent magnet rotor (see
engine 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.

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.

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.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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 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 Pressure/Vacuum 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.

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.

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.

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 to 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.

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.
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:
1. Uneven braking. 2. Steering lead. 3. Reduced handling. 4. Swerve on acceleration.
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
"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.

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

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.

This illustration shows view from the top of the vehicle. Toe-in is the measured amount the front
wheels are turn 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.

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 6691
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).

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: 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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).

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation
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.

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 8011
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the page, 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

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.

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.

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 1.0 mm (0.040 in) to 1.1 mm (0.043 in).
- 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
Measuring Insulation Resistance
- Measure insulation resistance using a 500 volt megaohm meter.
- Replace spark plugs if measured value is out of standard.
Insulation resistance: 50 Mohm or more.

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.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
The EHCU consists of ABS control circuits, fault detector, and a fail-safe. It drives the hydraulic unit
according to the signal from each sensor, cancelling ABS to return to normal braking when a
malfunction has occurred in the ABS. 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.

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.

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 307
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

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 megohms
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 (0DM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

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.

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.

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.

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 of the page, 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

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.

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).

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. Use a valve cutter to minimize scratches and other rough areas. This will bring the contact width
back to the standard value. Remove only the
scratches and rough areas. Do not cut away too much. Take care not to cut away unblemished
areas of the valve seat surface. Valve seat angle degree: 90°
3. Apply abrasive compound to the valve seat insert surface. 4. Insert the valve into the valve
guide. 5. Turn the valve while lapping it to fit the valve seat insert. 6. Check that the valve contact
width is correct.
7. Check that the valve seat insert surface is in contact with the entire circumference of the valve.
Valve Seat Insert Replacement
1. Arc weld the rod at several points. Be careful not to damage the aluminum. 2. Allow the rod to
cool for a few minutes. This will cause the valve seat to shrink.
3. Strike the rod and pull it out. 4. Carefully clean the valve seat press- fit on the cylinder head side.
5. Heat the press-fit with steam or some other means to cause expansion. Cool the valve seat with
dry ice or some other means.

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.
The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The cavity /

EGR Pintle Position Sensor
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input to endure that the valve responds properly
to commands from the PCM and to detect a fault if the pintle position sensor and control circuits
are open or shorted. If the PCM detects a pintle position signal voltage outside the normal range of
the pintle position sensor, or a signal voltage that is not within a tolerance considered acceptable
for proper EGR system operation, the PCM will set DTC P1406.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 129
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 6126
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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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 megohms 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.

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 /

actions:
* Eye Contact - rinse eyes thoroughly with water.
* Skin Contact - wash skin with soap and water.
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.

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.

BACKGROUND
The brake bleeding procedure in the 1998 thru 2001 Passport Service Manuals is incomplete. Use
this service bulletin to update the manuals.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
None.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. In the 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 Passport Service Manuals, on pages 5A-21 and 5A-22, cross
out the entire Tech 2 Service Bleed procedure.
2. In each manual, on page 5A-21, write this note: See page 5C-10 for the brake bleeding
procedure
3. In each manual, on page 5C-10, between steps 1 and 2, write this note: For important additional
information, see Service Bulletin 01-016, Service Manual Update: Revised Brake Bleeding
Procedure, Filed under Brakes.

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

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
DEPLOYED, THE METAL CANISTER AND

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.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug
Although worn or dirty spark plugs may give satisfactory operation at idling speed, they frequency
fail at higher engine speeds. Faulty spark plugs may cause poor fuel economy, power loss, loss of
speed, hard starting and generally poor engine performance. Follow the scheduled maintenance
service recommendations to ensure satisfactory spark plug performance. Refer to Maintenance
and Lubrication.
Normal spark plug operation will result in brown to grayish-tan deposits appearing on the insulator
portion of the spark plug. A small amount of red-brown, yellow, and white powdery material may
also be present on the insulator tip around the center electrode. These deposits are normal
combustion by-products of fuels and lubricating oils with additives. Some electrode wear will also
occur. Engines which are not running properly are often referred to as "misfiring." This means the
ignition spark is not igniting the air/fuel mixture at the proper time. While other ignition and fuel
system causes must also be considered, possible causes include ignition system conditions which
allow the spark voltage to reach ground in some other manner than by jumping across the air gap
at the tip of the spark plug, leaving the air/fuel mixture unburned. Refer to DTC P0300. Misfiring
may also occur when the tip of the spark plug becomes overheated and ignites the mixture before
the spark jumps. This is referred to as "pre-ignition."
Spark plugs may also misfire due to fouling, excessive gap, or a cracked or broken insulator. If
misfiring occurs before the recommended replacement interval, locate and correct the cause.
Carbon fouling of the spark plug is indicated by dry, black carbon (soot) deposits on the portion of
the spark plug in the cylinder. Excessive idling and slow speeds under light engine loads can keep
the spark plug temperatures so low that these deposits are not burned off. Very rich fuel mixtures
or poor ignition system output may also be the cause. Refer to DTC P0172.
Oil fouling of the spark plug is indicated by wet oily deposits on the portion of the spark plug in the
cylinder, usually with little electrode wear. This may be caused by oil during break-in of new or
newly overhauled engines. Deposit fouling of the spark plug occurs when the normal red-brown,
yellow or white deposits of combustion by products become sufficient to cause misfiring. In some
cases, these deposits may melt and form a shiny glaze on the insulator around the center
electrode. If the fouling is found in only one or two cylinders, valve stem clearances or intake valve
seals may be allowing excess lubricating oil to enter the cylinder, particularly if the deposits are
heavier on the side of the spark plug facing the intake valve.
Excessive gap means that the air space between the center and the side electrodes at the bottom
of the spark plug is too wide for consistent firing. This

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.

may be due to improper gap adjustment or to excessive wear of the electrode during use. A check
of the gap size and comparison to the gap specified for the vehicle in Maintenance and Lubrication
will tell if the gap is too wide. A spark plug gap that is too small may cause an unstable idle
condition. Excessive gap wear can be an indication of continuous operation at high speeds or with
engine loads, causing the spark to run too hot. Another possible cause is an excessively lean fuel
mixture.
Low or high spark plug installation torque or improper seating can result in the spark plug running
too hot and can cause excessive center electrode wear. The plug and the cylinder head seats must
be in good contact for proper heat transfer and spark plug cooling. Dirty or damaged threads in the
head or on the spark plug can keep it from seating even though the proper torque is applied. Once
spark plugs are properly seated, tighten them to the torque shown in the Specifications Table. Low
torque may result in poor contact of the seats due to a loose spark plug. Overtightening may cause
the spark plug shell to be stretched and will result in poor contact between the seats. In extreme
cases, exhaust blow-by and damage beyond simple gap wear may occur.
Cracked or broken insulators may be the result of improper installation, damage during spark plug
re-gapping, or heat shock to the insulator material. Upper insulators can be broken when a poorly
fitting tool is used during installation or removal, when the spark plug is hit from the outside, or is
dropped on a hard surface. Cracks in the upper insulator may be inside the shell and not visible.
Also, the breakage may not cause problems until oil or moisture penetrates the crack later.
A broken or cracked lower insulator tip (around the center electrode) may result from damage
during re-gapping or from "heat shock" (spark plug suddenly operating too hot).
- Damage during re-gapping can happen if the gapping tool is pushed against the center electrode
or the insulator around it, causing the insulator to crack. When re-gapping a spark plug, make the
adjustment by bending only the ground side terminal, keeping the tool clear of other parts.
- "Heat shock" breakage in the lower insulator tip generally occurs during several engine operating
conditions (high speeds or heavy loading) and may be caused by over-advanced timing or low
grade fuels. Heat shock refers to a rapid increase in the tip temperature that causes the insulator
material to crack.
Spark plugs with less than the recommended amount of service can sometimes be cleaned and
re-gapped then returned to service. However, if there is any doubt about the serviceability of a
spark plug, replace it. Spark plugs with cracked or broken insulators should always be replaced.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aftermarket Electrical and Vacuum Equipment
Aftermarket (add-on) electrical and vacuum equipment is defined as any equipment which
connects to the vehicle's electrical or vacuum systems that is installed on a vehicle after it leaves
the factory. No allowances have been made in the vehicle design for this type of equipment.
NOTE: No add-on vacuum equipment should be added to this vehicle.
NOTE: Add-on electrical equipment must only be connected to the vehicle's electrical system at the
battery (power and ground).
Add-on electrical equipment, even when installed to these guidelines, may still cause the
powertrain system to malfunction. This may also include equipment not connected to the vehicle
electrical system such as portable telephones and radios. Therefore, the first step in diagnosing
any powertrain problem is to eliminate all aftermarket electrical equipment from the vehicle. After
this is done, if the problem still exists, it may be diagnosed in the normal manner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Compact Disc Player (CD): All 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.

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

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.

Service Precautions
Suspension Control Module: Service Precautions
The Intelligent Suspension System interfaces directly with the Control Unit 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 Control Unit 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.

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.
Description and Operation
Transmission Mode Indicator - A/T: Description and Operation
With the ignition switch in ON or START battery voltage is applied to the A/T gear position switch
through fuse 14. The A/T gear position 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 meter assembly, causing it to come on.

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.

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 Pressure/Vacuum 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.
Page 1538
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.

11. Turn the ignition switch to "ON" while watching warning light and check the light should flash 7
times and then go off.
Irregular and Premature Wear
Tires: Testing and Inspection 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.
Page 7724
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.

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.

Transmission Position Switch/Sensor: Description and Operation
Transmission Range Switch
IMPORTANT: The vehicle should not be driven with the transmission range switch disconnected;
idle quality will be affected.
The four inputs from the transmission range switch indicate to the PCM which position is selected
by the transmission selector lever. This information is used for ignition timing, EVAP canister purge,
EGR operation.
For more information on the transmission on the transmission range switch, refer to Transmission
Control System Diagnosis. See: Transmission Control Systems/Testing and Inspection
Page 1818
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.
Page 2057
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.

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.

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.

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. Below 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 complete description of schematic symbols is given under wire color abbreviation.
Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.
From Battery to Ignition Switch, Fuses, and Relays Individual circuit schematics begin with a fuse.
The first half of Power Distribution, however, shows the wiring "upstream" between the battery
Page 2685
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
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.

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).

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.
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 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.

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

SOURCE: Honda Service News
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.

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

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.

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.

Ignition Coil: Description and Operation
Ignition Coils
A separate coil-at-plug module is located at each spark plug. The coil-at-plug module is attached to
the engine with two screws. It is installed directly to the spark plug by an electrical contact inside a
rubber boot. A three-way connector provides 12-volt primary supply from the 15-amp ignition fuse,
a ground-switching trigger line from the PCM, and a ground.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Signal
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as
a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to
indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while
the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the
fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last fuel
injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can
be restarted. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector
sequence being correct. Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
CMP Signal
The PCM uses this signal to determine the position of the number 1 piston during its power stroke,
allowing the PCM to calculate true sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI). Loss of this signal will
set a DTC P0341.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a
calculated sequential fuel injection based on the last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will
continue to run. The engine can be restarted and will run in the calculated sequential mode as long
as the fault is present, with a 1-in-6 chance of being correct.

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:

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.

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. Below 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.

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.

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.

Tires: Service and Repair 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.

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 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

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
Acceleration/Deceleration Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION/OPERATION
The G-sensor installed inside the 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 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.

Key Reminder Switch: 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.

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.

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 megohms
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 (0DM)
- Quad Driver Module (QDM)

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.

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.

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 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

Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PROPELLER SHAFT
Torque is transmitted from the transmission to the front axle through one 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 total balanced carefully, welding or any other modification are not
permitted.
- Alignment marks should be applied to each propeller shaft before removal.
- Be sure vehicle is stopped, engine is not running, brake is secured and vehicle is secured to
prevent injury.
- Be careful not to grip the propeller shaft tube too tightly in the vise as this will be 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 goes around. 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

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.

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.

or loose, the cable must be replaced.
3. Check that the cable resistance does not exceed 10 kOHM per foot.
Page 179
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
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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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 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.

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 (g/sec). At idle, the Tech 2 should read between 4 - 7
g/sec 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.

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.

8. Remove Bolts which secure regulator, rectifier and brush-holder, and separate these pans.
NOTE: Do not apply a shock or load to regulator, rectifier and brush holder.
Reassembly
To reassemble, follow the disassembly steps in the reverse order, noting the following points:
NOTE:
- Never make battery connections with polarities reversed, or battery will be shorted via the diodes.
This will cause damage to the diodes.
- Do not connect generator B terminal to ground- it is connected directly to the battery. This cable
will burn if it is connected to ground.
- Make sure to disconnect the positive (+) terminal of the battery when quick-charging battery.
Diodes may be damaged due to abnormal pulse voltage generated bye the quick charger.
- When reassembling the front section to rear section, insert a stiff wire into hole in the rear face of
the rear cover from the outboard side to support the brush in raised position, then insert the front
section to which rotor is assembled.
- Reassemble parts carefully to be sure they fit into their original position, paying attention to the
insulated portions.
- Wipe insulating tubes, washers and plates clean and install them in position carefully to avoid
getting oil or grease on them.
1. Using a press with a socket wrench attached, reassemble rotor and rear end cover assembly in
the front cover.

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.
Page 2218
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.

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. 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.
