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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Page 652
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.

Engine Coolant Pump Centrifugal Impeller Type
Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The coolant temperature gauge consists of two intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. When voltage from fuse 11 is applied to the coils, a magnetic field is generated. This
causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to move. The magnetic field is controlled by the
sender. As the resistance in the sender varies, current through the gauge coils changes. The
gauge needle moves according to the changing magnetic field.
Page 121
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.
Engine - Connecting Rod Damage Information
Connecting Rod: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Connecting Rod Damage Information
Why Do Connecting Rods Break?
Curious why connecting rods break? Afier all, these are heavy-duty parts specifically designed to
endure punishing forces and temperatures. Yet, every once in a while they do bend or break and
wind up as cool conversation pieces for a coffee table or desk.
Connecting rods break only after they've gotten bent. And they won't get bent unless the engine
hydro-locks or the rod bearings fail.
When troubleshooting a bent or broken connecting rod, here are some things to consider:
^ The number one culprit for connecting rod breakage is hydro-lock. This happens when liquid
(water or fuel) entering the combustion chamber exceeds
the chamber's volume. Since liquids don't compress, that extra volume in the chamber causes the
rod to bend. You won't really notice anything wrong, until that bent rod finally gives out and breaks.
This could happen if you're driving through deep, standing water and someone coming the other
way splashes water over your hood. On very rare occasions, a bad ECM/PCM or fuel injector can
cause too much fuel to enter a cylinder, causing hydro-lock and resulting in a bent rod. Before this
happens, though, there are usually some kind of drive ability problems that crop up and remain
afier the engine is fixed.
A bent rod might not show any symptoms until it actually breaks. But bent rods leave a
wider-than-normal carbon witness line in the cylinder because they're shorter. Typically, a healthy
engine has a carbon line that's 6 mm deep. An engine that's suffering from bent rods has a second
carbon line that's 9 to 12 mm deep.
^ Connecting rod bearings fail for a number of reasons. To properly determine what actually
caused a rod bearing to fail, you've got to take apart all rod
bearings and main bearings and compare them side by side. If all or most of the bearings and
journals show similar damage (scoring, exposed copper, or heat discoloration) the likely cause is
oil starvation, poor maintenance, customer abuse, or running the engine with an aftermarket power
booster (nitrous oxide setup, supercharger, turbocharger). If only the bearing or journal for the
failed rod looks bad but all the other ones look good (no scoring, no exposed copper or heat
discoloration) and the crankshaft journals are smooth with no heat discoloration, then that particular
bearing/ clearance would be suspect.

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).

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Inspection Procedure
1. Inspect the sensor O-ring for cracks or leaks. 2. Replace the O-ring if it is worn or damaged. 3.
Lubricate the new O-ring with engine oil. 4. Install the lubricated O-ring.
Page 1317
Page 28
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you're using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
"OHMS" range.
Page 58
it is located, and what it connects to. Use the Connector Views to help locate the proper cavity
when you need to probe a connector. It can be especially helpful if the connector has more than
one wire of the same color. A dash symbol (-) indicates that the cavity is empty.
Connector views can also be used to help diagnose multiple symptoms in separate circuits which
could be caused by a single problem in a connector shared by those circuits. Here's an example:
1. Pick one of the multiple symptoms and look up the schematic for that circuit. 2. Make a list of all
the in-line and fuse box connectors in that schematic , 3. Then, in the Connector Views, look up
each connector on your list to see if circuits related to the other symptoms run through one of them.
If they
do, inspect that connector for the problem.
Example: The blower, rear window defogger, and the windshield wiper don't work. List all in-line
and fuse box connectors in the blower controls circuit and then check the Connector View (see the
sample). You find that C324 is common to the blower controls, rear window defogger, and
wiper/washer, so you inspect C324 and find the problem, bent terminals.

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.

Fuel Pressure: Service Precautions
WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:
- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.
- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.
- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.
- Wear eye protection.
- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 °C (1000 °F).
- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.
- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.
- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.
- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.
- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.
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.

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.

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 to get a more detailed picture of how
power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

directly with the valve cover timing mark.
3. Turn the left cylinder bank's camshaft pulley clockwise with a socket and ratchet. (The pulley
clicks and stops several times.) Stop the pulley when
its green mark aligns with the timing belt cover bolt hole.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

specifications, adjust it by loosening or tightening the bearing nut.
9. Install lock washer and lock screw in the following manner.
- Turn the side with larger diameter of the tapered bore to the vehicle outer side, then attach the
washer.
- If the bolt holes in the lock plate are not aligned with the corresponding holes in the nut, reverse
the lock plate.
- If the bolt holes are still out of alignment, turn in the nut just enough to obtain alignment.
- Screw is to be fastened tightly so its head may come lower than the surface of the washer.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Fuse Block Circuit-2 (V6)
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

1. Check 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM.
5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading (zero),
there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes , or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Page 1013
17. Recheck the valve clearance using the Go/No-Go method (see step 4).
- If the clearance is OK, repeat steps 6 thru 17 for the other valves needing adjustment.
- If the clearance is still incorrect, repeat steps 6 through 17 until it is correct, then adjust the
remaining valves.
18. Turn the camshaft pulleys until the single timing dot (right cylinder bank) and dual timing dots
(left cylinder bank) align with the single timing
dots on the camshaft drive gears.
19. Install the cylinder head covers with new gaskets. Torque the cover bolts to 9 N.m (6.5 lb-ft).
Off-Vehicle Valve Adjustment
1. Make a copy of the Valve Inspection Chart.
2. Make a copy of the Valve Shim Replacement Chart, then tape the pages together, side-by-side.
3. Measure the valve clearances using the Go/No-Go method (see the note below). The clearances
must be
- Intake valves: 0.25 mm +0.05 mm
- Exhaust valves: 0.30 mm +0.05 mm
NOTE:
- To measure with the Go/No-Go method, use two feeler gauges, one to measure the smallest
allowable clearance, and the other to measure the largest.
- If the small gauge fits and the large gauge doesn't, the valve adjustment is OK.
- If the small gauge doesn't fit, or if the large gauge slides easily, the valve needs adjustment.
- The feeler gauges slide through the clearance gap at a slight angle, making the drag a little more
than it would be on other engines.
4. For valves with the correct clearance, draw an "X" in the appropriate circle on the Valve
Inspection Chart. For valves with incorrect clearances,
write down the clearance you measured in the circle.
5. Rotate the camshaft pulley until the dual timing dots (exhaust camshaft) and single timing dot
(intake camshaft) align with the timing dots on the
camshaft drive gear.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

5. After installation, fill the engine with oil up to the specified level, run the engine for more than
three minutes, then check for oil leakage.
CAUTION: Using any procedure other than those shown could result in serious engine damage
due to oil leakage.
Replacement M/T With ATTS:
WARNING: Be careful when loosening the drain plug while the engine is hot. Burns can result
because the oil temperature is very high.
1. Remove the oil filter with the special tool.
2. Inspect the threads and rubber seal on the new filter. Wipe off seat on the engine block. Apply a
light coat of oil to the filter rubber seal.
NOTE: Use only filters with a built-in bypass system.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

*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

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

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.

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

Service Manual Update: Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APPS) (Supersedes 00-045, dated
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.

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)
Page 119
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

Water Pump: Service and Repair
Removal
1. Disconnect battery ground cable. 2. Drain coolant. 3. Radiator hose (on inlet pipe side). 4.
Remove timing belt. 5. Remove idle pulley. 6. Remove water pump assembly. 7. Remove gasket.
Inspection
Make necessary repair and parts replacement if extreme wear or damage is found during
inspection. Should any of the problems occur, the entire water pump assembly must be replaced. Crack in the water pump body
- EC leakage from the seal unit
- Play or abnormal noise in the bearing
- Cracks or corrosion in the impeller
Installation
1. Install gasket, clean the mating surface of gasket before installation.
2. Install water pump assembly and tighten bolts to the specified torque.
Torque: 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) Tightening order The tightening order are in the illustration.
NOTE: To prevent the oil leakage, apply the LOCTITE 262 or an equivalent, to the arrow marked
fixing bolt thread.
3. Idle pulley
Page 77
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

NOTE:
The front wheels are being viewed from the rear of the vehicle.
^ Depending which way you need to shift the subframe, insert a pry bar between the subframe and
body at both the front and rear positions of the subframe.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage the vehicle. You could bend and damage the frame and/or body if you
apply too much pressure.
^ Press on both pry bars to shift the subframe. It will move only a few millimeters. This should
adjust the camber about 0.2-0.5°.
^ While holding the subframe in place, have an assistant torque the subframe bolts to their proper
torque.

NOTE:
Some vehicles have special pinch bolts that allow more adjustment. For more information, refer to
the parts catalog.
^ Tighten the damper pinch bolts to the specified torque.
^ Reinstall the front wheels and lower the vehicle. Bounce the front of the vehicle several times to
stabilize the suspension.

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

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

7. 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.

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

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 26
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair System Charging
There are various methods of charging refrigerant into the air conditioning system.
These include using J-39500 (ACR(4):HFC-134a Refrigerant Recovery / Recycling / Recharging /
System) or equivalent and direct charging with a weight scale charging station.
Charging Procedure
- ACR(4)(or equivalent) Method For the charging of refrigerant recovered by ACR(4)(or equivalent),
follow the manufacturer's instruction.
- Direct charging with a weight scale charging station method
1. Make sure the evacuation process is correctly completed. 2. Connect the center hose of the
manifold gauge to the weight scale. 3. Connect the low pressure charging hose of the manifold
gauge to the low pressure side service valve of the vehicle.
Page 1591
Description and Operation
Temperature Gauge: Description and Operation
The coolant temperature gauge consists of two intersecting coils wound around a permanent
magnet rotor. When voltage from fuse 11 is applied to the coils, a magnetic field is generated. This
causes the rotor to rotate and the gauge needle to move. The magnetic field is controlled by the
sender. As the resistance in the sender varies, current through the gauge coils changes. The
gauge needle moves according to the changing magnetic field.
Page 1067
Brake Fluid: Service Precautions
Deterioration of Brake Fluid
Using any other brake fluid than specified or brake fluid with mineral oil or water mixed in will drop
the boiling point of brake fluid. It may, in turn, result in vapor lock or deteriorated rubber parts of the
hydraulic system. Be sure to change the brake fluid at specified intervals. If the rubber parts are
deteriorated, remove all the system parts and clean them with alcohol. Prior to reassembly, dry the
cleaned parts with air to remove the alcohol. Replace all the hoses and rubber parts of the system.

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

Timing Belt: Service and Repair Camshaft Subgear Preloading, Gear Timing & Camshaft Install.
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY TSB 02-047
CAMSHAFT SUBGEAR PRELOADING, GEAR TIMING, AND CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION
NOTE:
- The V6 engine has a "non-interference" design. This means the valves never contact the pistons,
even when the valves or camshafts are not correctly timed, or even if a valve is fully open and its
piston is at top dead center (TDC).
- The ratio between the camshaft drive gear and the camshaft gears is 1.33 to 1. This means the
timing dots on a correctly timed camshaft will only align with the dots on the camshaft drive gears
every 4th turn of the camshaft pulley.
- The left and right intake camshafts are different. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear, the
left intake camshaft is marked "LI," and it has dual timing dots; the right intake camshaft is marked
"RI," and it has a single timing dot.
- The left and right exhaust camshafts are the same. On the cam lobe side of the camshaft gear,
both camshafts are marked "LE" and "RE and both have dual timing dots and a single dot.
1. Before you install the camshafts, preload the subgears (preloading must be done whenever you
remove the bearing caps from a camshaft):
- Make sure the spring is installed between the camshaft gear and the subgear.
- With the camshaft held in a soft-jawed vise, attach the gear spring lever (T/N J-42656) to the
subgear, then turn the subgear until its threaded hole lines up with the hole in the camshaft gear.
- Lock the subgear to the camshaft gear with a 5 x 0.5 mm bolt through either side of the gear hole.
- Preload the subgears on the other camshafts.
Page 695
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.

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 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.

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 to get a more detailed picture of how
power is supplied to the circuit you're working on.

Page 1628
To install follow the removal steps in the reverse order noting the following point;
1. Check that each mode door operates properly.
Page 460
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end. 4. If the self-powered test light glows, there
is continuity. If you're using a DVOM, a low reading or no reading (zero), means good continuity.
Testing For Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the lest light to a known good ground, or, if you're using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Page 1232
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
10-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
Self-Powered Test Light and DVOM
Use a self-powered test light to check for continuity. This tool is made up of a light bulb, battery,
and two leads. To test it, touch the leads together: the light should go on.
Use a self-powered test light only on an unpowered circuit. First, disconnect the battery, or remove
the fuse that feeds the circuit you are working on. Select two points in the circuit between which
you want to check continuity. Connect one lead of the self-powered test light to each point. If there
is continuity, the test light's circuit will be completed, and the light will go on.
If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is between two points, use a
digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is
affecting the measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locator)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

Refrigerant 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

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.

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.

6. Test-drive the vehicle to make sure it no longer pulls. If the steering wheel is now off-center by
more than 2 mm, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE C.
7. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30' = 0.50.
REPAIR PROCEDURE C
1. Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it stops.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and count the number of revolutions until it stops.
^ Divide the number of revolutions in half, and turn the steering wheel until it is centered. For
example, if it takes four revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, then two turns is
centered.
^ If the steering wheel is off-center by a large amount (20 mm or more), it may not be centered on
the steering column shaft. Reinstall the steering wheel before going to step 2.
2. Place the vehicle on a lift, turn the steering wheel until it is centered, and then raise the vehicle.
3. Adjust the tie-rods. Use your measurements from question 13 of the test-drive to make your
adjustment.
Page 940
^ 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.
4. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.

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.

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

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

The 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.

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

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

Fuel Pump Relay: 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.

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
