- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

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

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used 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 (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag
(C), the front passenger's airbag (D), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and
front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.
This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines
whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase
the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt
and buckle firmly to secure the occupants in their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OPDS). This system
consists of sensors (G) and a OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit
sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit. If the OPDS unit determines that the front
passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the front passenger is leaning into the side
airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger's side airbag. The
SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the seat. When the
side airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that
the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the
passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the
driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

7. Apply a small amount of Permalube grease to the base of the new lever. Then attach the slide
hammer to the new lever pin, insert the lever into the
ignition switch, and seat the pin with the slide hammer.
8. Check the installed height of the pin with vernier calipers. If the height is more than 5.0 mm, the
pin is not seated. If needed, reattach the slide
hammer, and seat the pin.
NOTE:
It's normal for the interlock lever to be loose, even when the pin is fully seated.
9. Install a new spring on the lever. Make sure you attach the ends of the spring correctly:

APPLIES TO: 03-04 Accord 01-04 Civic 02-04 CR-V 03-04 Element 02-04 Odyssey 03-04 Pilot
SERVICE TIP:
Got a vehicle in your shop that purrs like a kitten but it sets a DTC P0171 (fuel system too lean)?
Check the short-term fuel trim (ST FUEL TRIM B1). If the value reads higher than 1.05, then check
the MAP SENSOR value with the engine turned off and the ignition switch turned to ON (II).
- If the MAP SENSOR and BARO SENSOR values match, the MAP sensor is working OK. Do the
normal troubleshooting for DTC P0171.
- If the MAP SENSOR and BARO SENSOR values don't match, install a known-good MAP sensor,
and retest. If the sensor values now match, clear the DTC, and make sure the ST FUEL TRIM B1
value is normal (it reads about 1.0).

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.

Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow from power at the top of the diagram to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another for example is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works you know the shared wiring is OK.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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.

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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:

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

2. Connect 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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

^ Going from front to back, use the middle lock pin to set the first cam to the appropriate key code
number in the code book. (The cam is properly set when the number on the cam lines up with the
red scribe mark on the clamp unit.)
^ Slide the lock pin through the notch in the cam. (This locks the cam in place.)
^ Keep doing this for each of the remaining cams in the set until all the cams are set and locked,
then push the lock pin all the way in.
Repeat this process to set and lock the cams for the right cam set.
NOTE:
Make sure you set the MIS cam in the right cam set for the type of key you are cutting. For a
master key, set the cam to M; for a valet key, set it to S.
When you are done, push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams in the left cam set.
10. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the right
side at the front of the cams. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this
height. Do not overtighten the lever.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)
12. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the cam blades from front
to back. (The cutter bit cuts the same contours into the right edge of the key blank, from head to
tip.)

3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from
the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former.
5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
- If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
- If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

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

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.

Never attempt to modify, splice, or repair SRS wiring. If there is an open or damage in SRS wiring,
replace the harness.
Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched, or interfere with other parts.
Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean, and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used 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 (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag
(C), the front passenger's airbag (D), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and
front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.
This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines
whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase
the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt
and buckle firmly to secure the occupants in their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OPDS). This system
consists of sensors (G) and a OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit
sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit. If the OPDS unit determines that the front
passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the front passenger is leaning into the side
airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger's side airbag. The
SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the seat. When the
side airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that
the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the
passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the
driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop
Page 7510
5. Remove the maintenance hole seal (A). Disconnect the outer handle rod (B), and remove the
nuts, then remove the outer handle protector (C) from
the outer handle (D).
6. Pull out the outer handle (A) in the numbered sequence, and remove it.
7. Install the handle in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Make sure each rod is connected securely.
- Make sure the door locks and opens properly.
- When installing the lock cylinder, leave the outer door handle bolts loose so the inner protector
does not interfere with the lock cylinder installation, then tighten the handle bolts.
- Install the lock cylinder retaining clip on the handle, then install the lock cylinder in the door. Be
sure the clip is fully seated in the slot on the lock cylinder.
- When reinstalling the door panel, make sure the plastic cover is installed properly and sealed
around its outside perimeter to seal out water.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the TWC and
sends signals to the ECM/PCM which checks the efficiency of the TWC. To stabilize its output, the
sensor has an internal heater. The secondary HO2S is installed in the TWC.

7. Check the mica depth (A). If the mica is too high (B), undercut the mica with a hacksaw blade to
the proper depth. Cut away all the mica (C)
between the commutator segments. The undercut should not be too shallow, too narrow, or
V-shaped (D).
8. Check for continuity between the segments of the commutator. If an open circuit exists between
any segments, replace the armature.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions
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.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. The frontal impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. The side impact sensors must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the SRS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
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 6 seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 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 SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link connector (DLC). This information can be
read with the Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the DLC (16P).

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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).

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

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.
Page 9309
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.

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.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

Shift Interlock Switch: Recalls Recall 10V364000: Ignition Interlock Defect
VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): Honda/Accord 2003 Honda/Civic 2003
Honda/Element 2003-2004 MANUFACTURER: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
MFR'S REPORT DATE: August 04, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V364000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA09001 COMPONENT: Electrical System: Ignition
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 384220
SUMMARY: Honda is recalling certain model year 2003 Honda Accord, Civic two and four door,
and model year 2003-2004 Honda Element vehicles. The interlock lever of the ignition switch may
unexpectedly deform, which can allow the interlock function of a vehicle with an automatic
transmission to be defeated.
CONSEQUENCE: Removal of the ignition key when the gear selector of a vehicle with an
automatic transmission has not been shifted to the park position can allow the vehicle to roll away,
increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will remove the original interlock pin and lever within the ignition switch, and
replace them with newly, designed components. This service will be performed free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin on or about September 29, 2010. Owners may contact Honda at
1-800-999-1009.
NOTES: Honda safety recall No. R44. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to

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

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation Precautions
Transmission Speed Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation
Precautions
Install VSS Properly to Avoid Reman A/T Damage
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to follow, to the letter, the installation instructions
that come with a reman A/T. These instructions help ensure that you avoid damaging the A/T and
score a successful repair.
This is particularly true when it comes to installing the vehicle speed sensor (VSS). Step 6 of the
instructions tells you to make sure its gear is fully engaged and the VSS is fully seated before you
tighten the retaining bolt.
If you don't install the VSS properly, the speed sensor gear will get stripped and the A/T will be
seriously damaged. So don't take risks with your customer's vehicle. Always follow these
instructions to the letter. You can rest assured you're doing the job right.
Page 6106
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.

Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they're in. The cavities 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

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

Alarm Module: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The immobilizer system is designed to prevent the car from being started without the owner's
ignition key. If an attempt is made to Start the car with any other key, the immobilizer system will
disable the car's fuel supply.
The immobilizer system consists of the ignition key, immobilizer control unit-receiver, immobilizer
indicator light, PGM-FI main relays, injector relay (GX), fuel pump (except GX), fuel tank internal
solenoid valve (GX), and the ECM/PCM.
With the ignition switch in ON (II) or START (III), the immobilizer control unit-receiver and the
ECM/PCM receive an "ignition on" signal through fuse 6 and the PGM-FI main relay 1. The
ECM/PCM then sends power to the ignition key transponder through the immobilizer control
unit-receiver. The transponder then sends a coded signal back to the ECM/PCM through the
receiver. If the signal is correct, the ECM/PCM will energize the car's fuel supply system by
grounding the PGM-FI main relay 2 (except GX) or injector relay (GX). The immobilizer indicator
light flashes a code to indicate that the correct key has been inserted. If the ignition key signal is
not correct, the ECM/PCM will not energize the car's fuel supply system by not grounding the
PGM-FI main relay 2 (except GX) or injector relay (GX). The immobilizer indicator light then flashes
a code to indicate that an incorrect key has been inserted.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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

HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS
1. Carefully match the old terminal with a new one from the terminal repair kit. Choose the correct
replacement terminal based on the wire size range
the terminal will accommodate.
NOTE: If the replacement terminal quantities are low, reorder them by using the terminal part
number listed on the inside lid of the terminal repair kit. Replacement terminals are available
through your parts department using normal parts ordering procedures.
2. Depending on the size of the wire you are repairing, use the proper size slot in the crimping tool.
Page 7206
Page 1750
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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Page 8776
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.
Page 5917
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

TITLE: ATF Leaks From Cooler Line Banjo Bolt
APPLIES TO: 1998-04 Accords, 2001-04 Civics, 1997-04 CR-Vs, 1999-04 Odysseys, 2003-04
Pilots
SERVICE TIP: The banjo bolts and sealing washers on the ATF cooler lines are delicate and can
be easily damaged if the line or the banjo bolt gets hit. Any movement of the line or the banjo bolt
crushes the two sealing washers and lets ATF leak past the seals.
Before you install an A/T or try finding an ATF leak, check the banjo bolt torque on the ATF cooler
lines. If a banjo bolt is loose, remove the bolt along with the sealing washers. And if the cooler line
has a bracket, remove that bolt too. Inspect the sealing surface on the A/T housing. If the surface is
OK, reinstall the banjo bolt with new sealing washers, and torque the bolt to 28 Nm (21 lb-ft).
Reinstall the bolt for the line bracket (if applicable), and torque the bolt to 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft).

Fuel Gauge & Low Fuel Indicator Accuracy Check
Fuel Gauge: All Technical Service Bulletins Fuel Gauge & Low Fuel Indicator Accuracy Check
SOURCE: Honda Service News March 2003
TITLE: Charting the Fuel Gauge and the Low Fuel Indicator
APPLIES TO: 1998-03 Accord, 1996-03 Civic, or 1999-03 Odyssey
SERVICE TIP: If an owner is leery of the fuel gauge or low fuel indicator accuracy and worries
about running out of fuel, you may be able to restore faith in the accuracy of this hardware by
charting the operation.
If the fuel gauge, the low fuel indicator, or both doesn't give your customer a warm, fuzzy feeling,
don't replace the fuel gauge or the sending unit until you've first charted the fuel gauge needle
position and low fuel indicator status. You rarely improve accuracy by replacing fuel gauges and
sending units. To chart the fuel gauge needle position and the low fuel indicator status, do this:
1. Have your customer bring in the vehicle when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
2. Drain any remaining fuel from the tank.
3. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, and add 2 gallons of fuel to the tank with the ignition switch
turned to LOCK (0).
4. Start the engine, and note the fuel gauge needle position after 2 minutes. Draw a picture of the
fuel gauge showing the position of the needle. Also note on your drawing if the low fuel indicator is
on or off. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Add 2 more gallons of fuel to the tank. Start the engine, and note the position of the needle after
2 minutes. Draw another picture of the fuel gauge showing the current position of the needle. Note
the status of the low fuel indicator. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Repeat step 5 until the fuel tank is full. Then give your customer all of the pictures you've drawn.
They're usually enough to convince even the staunchest Doubting Thomas.

Programming the Transmitter
To program the transmitters, use one of these two procedures:
^ Procedure One cancels all learned transmitter codes and adds one new transmitter. None of the
previously programmed transmitters will work. Use this programming procedure only if all
transmitters were lost or stolen, or if a new control unit has been installed.
^ Procedure Two adds additional transmitters without cancelling any of the previously learned
codes. The system will accept up to four transmitters.
Procedure One (cancels all codes, adds one new transmitter)
1. Open the driver's door.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position three times. (This
step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the system will not enter the programming mode.)
3. Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position five times. Close and
open the door. (Complete this process within 10 seconds.) Verify that the power door locks cycle
once to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
5. Within 20 seconds, press the "LOCK" button on the transmitter you are programming. Verify that
the door locks cycle once.
6. Within 20 seconds, press the "UNLOCK" button on the transmitter. Verify that the door locks
cycle once to confirm that the system has accepted the transmitter's code.
Procedure Two (adds transmitters)
1. Open the driver's door.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position three times. (This
step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the

Overhaul
CAUTION: Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be
hazardous to your health. ^
Avoid breathing dust particles.
^ Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum
cleaner.
Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and install the caliper, and note these items: ^
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint,
wash it off immediately with water.
^ To prevent dripping, cover disconnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.
^ Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air. Before
reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
^ Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.
^ Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
^ When reusing pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking
efficiency.
^ Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
^ Always use Honda DOT 3 brake fluid. Non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten
the life of the system. Do not mix different brands of brake fluid, as they may not be compatible.
^ Coat the piston, piston seal groove, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid. Make sure no grease
or oil gets on the brake discs or pads. Replace all rubber parts with new ones whenever

General Troubleshooting Information
Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.
Page 8779
2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.

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
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.

Shift Indicator: Testing and Inspection Continuously Variable Transmission
Indicator Input Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and
procedures in the SRS section before performing repairs or service. 1. If the MIL has been
reported, check for a DTC, and repair the system as indicated by DTC. 2. If the MIL does not come
on, and the A/T gear position indicator P, N, or R does not come on. Turn the ignition switch off,
remove the gauge
assembly from the dashboard, then disconnect gauge assembly connector A (22P) and B (22P).
3. Inspect the connectors and connector terminals to be sure they are making good contact. 4. If
the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
5. Shift to the P position, and check for continuity between AS terminal (BLU/BLK) and ground.
There should be continuity in the P position and no
continuity in any other shift lever position. If your test results are different, check for a faulty
transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
6. Shift to the N position, and check for continuity between AS terminal (BLK/RED) and ground.
There should be continuity in the N position and no
continuity in any-other shift lever position. If your test results are different, check for a faulty
transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), shift to the R position, and check for voltage between A11
terminal (WHT) and ground. There should be 0 V in
the R position. There should be about 5 V in any other shift lever position. If your test results are
different, check for a faulty transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
8. Check for voltage between B17 terminal (YEL) and ground with the ignition switch ON (II). There
should be battery voltage. If your test results
are different, check for a blown No. 10 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box or an open in
the wire.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and check for continuity between B16terminal (BLK) and ground
under all conditions. There should be continuity.
If your test results are different, check for a poor ground (G501) or an open in the wire.
10. If all input tests prove OK, but the indicator is faulty, replace the printed circuit board.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Obtain the customer's key code from the iN (Key Code Inquiry). Refer to the Honda High
Security key Codes book that comes with the Matrix H key cutting machine. Write down the
applicable cutting code for the key code number. Make sure the corrections to the code book listed
in Service Bulletin 01-077, Cutting Sidewinder-Type keys With the Matrix H key Cutting Machine,
have been made.
2. Use the chart shown to write down the numbers found in the key code book.
3. Remove the door panel. Refer to the appropriate service manual or use ISIS keyword Door
Panel.
4. Remove the plastic cover as necessary.
5. Raise the window glass fully.
6. Remove the lock cylinder.
^ For Civic, go to step 7.
^ For CR-V, go to step 8.
^ For Element, go to step 11.
7. Pull down on the retainer clip with a hook-shaped tool. Remove the lock cylinder and disconnect
the cylinder rod. Then go to step 14.
Page 1692
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

9. Open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the original key with its flat side down into the center
jaw up to the key stop. Slide the key blank with its flat side down into the right jaw up to the key
stop. Close the jaws with the jaws knob to lock the keys into place. Visually inspect both keys for
proper alignment in the jaws.
10. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage. With the clamp
carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
Page 2772
ECM/PCM Inputs And Outputs At Connector E (31P)
Page 4097
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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

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.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System)
The side airbag system also includes an Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS). This
system consists of Sensors (G) and a OPDS Unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The
OPDS unit sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit.
If the SRS unit determines that the front passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the
front passenger is leaning into the side airbag deployment path, it will automatically disable the
airbag. The SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the
seat.
Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator
When the side airbag is disabled, the Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator on the instrument panel alerts
the driver that the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is
removed, or the passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off, alerting the
driver that the side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. The frontal impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. The side impact sensors must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the SRS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
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 6 seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 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 SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link connector (DLC). This information can be
read with the Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the DLC (16P).

Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fir of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.
Page 5674
5. With the wire inserted in the new terminal as shown in step 3, crimp the wire by squeezing the
tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
6. Crimp the insulation by positioning the 5.5 slot on the tool over the insulation crimp section of the
terminal and squeezing the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
8. Clean the starter side of the S terminal as needed using electric contact cleaner and an electrical
connector cleaning brush (Snap-on P/N YA385A or equivalent). Blow out any debris remaining on
or around the terminal with compressed air.
9. Apply silicone dielectric grease (3M silicone paste P/N 08946, Permatex Dielectric Tune-up
grease P/N 67VR, or equivalent) to the female side of the S terminal, then carefully insert the
terminal into the S terminal on the starter side.
10. Slide the boot completely over the S terminal.
11. Reconnect the positive battery cable, then reconnect the negative battery cable.
12. Enter the anti-theft code for the audio unit (if applicable), then enter the customer's audio
presets. Set the clock.
13. Confirm that the starter engages properly by starting the engine several times.
14. Do the idle learn procedure:
^ Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio unit, defogger, lights, etc.) are off.

12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).
Cutting Procedure - By Code
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it to the right until the

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

enough to hold it in place. To release the ratchet mechanism at any point after the first click,
squeeze the handles slightly and push the release lever, then let the handles open.
9. Insert one of the bare wires into the splice connector end that is in the crimper jaws. Push the
wire all the way into the splice connector, and
squeeze the crimper handles. Keep squeezing until the jaws touch, and hold it at that position until
the ratchet clicks again.
10. Crimp the other wire in the same way into the other end of the splice connector.
11. After crimping, gently pull on the wires in the opposite directions to make sure they are secure
in the connector.
12. Separate the other wires in the harness from the repaired wire(s), and shield them with
nonflammable material.

Engine Won't Start - Check Alternator Bolts
Alternator: Technical Service Bulletins Engine Won't Start - Check Alternator Bolts
SOURCE: Honda Service News August 2004
TITLE: Engine Won't Start? Check for Loose Alternator Bolts
APPLIES TO: 2001-04 Civic
SERVICE TIP: Got a 2001-04 Civic in your shop with any or all of these symptoms?
- The engine cranks but it won't start.
- The MIL comes on.
- The immobilizer indicator blinks while the engine cranks.
- The HDS can't communicate with the ECM/PCM.
Check for loose alternator bolts. If these bolts are loose for any reason such as the alternator was
R&R;'ed or an accessory A/C was installed on a DX model at the dealership, the alternator can
overcharge and fry the ECM/PCM.
If the alternator bolts are loose, tighten them, and try restarting the engine. If the engine still won't
start, then check the ECM/PCM connector for battery voltage and ground. If you're reading battery
voltage and ground at the connector, then replace the ECM/PCM. Keep in mind, though, any
ECM/PCM damage that's caused by loose alternator bolts from A/C installation or body repair isn't
covered by warranty.

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

9. Install a 2 Ohms resistor between fuel pump 5P connector terminals No.1 and No.2, then turn
the ignition switch ON (II).
10. Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge indicates "F".
- If the pointer of the fuel gauge does not indicates "F", replace the gauge.
- If the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge sending unit.
NOTE: The pointer of the fuel gauge returns to the bottom on the gauge dial when the ignition
switch is OFF, regardless of the fuel level.
11. Relieve the fuel pressure. 12. Remove the fuel fill cap. 13. Disconnect the quick-connect fittings
from the fuel pump.
14. Using the special tool, loosen the fuel tank unit locknut (A).

Pressure Regulating Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
A/T Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid Valves A and B Test
1. Disconnect the connectors from the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B. 2.
Measure the resistance of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B between the No.
1 and No. 2 terminals of each connector.
STANDARD: About 5.0 Ohms
3. If the resistance of either A/T clutch pressure control solenoid is out of standard, replace the A/T
clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B. 4. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch
pressure control solenoid valve A (and B) to the battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2
terminal to the battery negative terminal. A clicking sound should be heard.
5. If no sound is heard, remove the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B. 6. Check
the fluid passage of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valve for dust and dirt.
7. Connect the No. 1 terminal of the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B to the
battery positive terminal, and connect the No. 2
terminal to the battery negative terminal. Make sure the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid valves
A and B move.
8. Disconnect one of the battery terminal and check valve movement.
NOTE: You can see valve movement through the fluid passage in the mounting surface of the A/T
clutch pressure control solenoid valves A and B body (c).
9. If either valve binds or moves sluggishly, or if the A/T clutch pressure control solenoid does not
operate, replace the A/T clutch pressure control
solenoid valves A and B.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

Recall - Ignition/Shift Interlock Defect
10-059
October 1, 2010
Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Safety Recall: Accord, Civic, and Element Ignition Switch Key Interlock
BACKGROUND
Under certain conditions, the interlock lever of the ignition switch may unexpectedly deform. The
interlock ensures the transmission is in Park before the ignition key can be removed. Interlock
failure may allow the ignition key to be removed when the shift lever is not in Park. If the driver fails
to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Not all vehicles within the VIN ranges are affected by this recall. Before beginning work on a
vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
Primary Oxygen Sensor
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Primary Oxygen Sensor
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (D17A1, D17A2 engines)
The primary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends signals to the
ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor
has an internal heater. The primary HO2S is installed in the three way catalytic converter (TWC)
(D17A1 engine) or in the exhaust manifold (D17A2 engine). By controlling the air fuel ratio with
primary HO2S and secondary HO2S, the deterioration of the primary HO2S can be evaluated by its
feedback period. When the feedback period exceeds a certain value during stable driving
conditions, the sensor is considered deteriorated and the ECM/PCM sets a DTC.

the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

Programming the Transmitter
To program the transmitters, use one of these two procedures:
^ Procedure One cancels all learned transmitter codes and adds one new transmitter. None of the
previously programmed transmitters will work. Use this programming procedure only if all
transmitters were lost or stolen, or if a new control unit has been installed.
^ Procedure Two adds additional transmitters without cancelling any of the previously learned
codes. The system will accept up to four transmitters.
Procedure One (cancels all codes, adds one new transmitter)
1. Open the driver's door.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position three times. (This
step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the system will not enter the programming mode.)
3. Within 10 seconds, close and open the door two times.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position five times. Close and
open the door. (Complete this process within 10 seconds.) Verify that the power door locks cycle
once to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
5. Within 20 seconds, press the "LOCK" button on the transmitter you are programming. Verify that
the door locks cycle once.
6. Within 20 seconds, press the "UNLOCK" button on the transmitter. Verify that the door locks
cycle once to confirm that the system has accepted the transmitter's code.
Procedure Two (adds transmitters)
1. Open the driver's door.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position and then to the LOCK position three times. (This
step must be completed within 10 seconds, or the

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.

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

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions
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.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
ABS Control Unit
Main Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it
calculates the vehicle speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the
vehicle speed during deceleration based on the rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel and transmits the control signal to the
modulator unit solenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and
pressure intensifying.
Self-diagnosis Function 1. The ABS control unit is equipped with a main CPU and a sub-CPU.
Each CPU checks the other for problems. 2. The CPUs check the circuit of the system. 3. The ABS
control unit turns on the ABS indicator when the unit detects a problem and the unit stops the
system. 4. The self-diagnosis can be classified into these two categories:
^ Initial diagnosis
^ Regular diagnosis
On-board Diagnosis Function The ABS can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding and checking wheel sensor
signals, use the Honda PGM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific
operating instructions.

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

How To Replace Connector Terminals
Multiple Junction Connector: Service and Repair How To Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions
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.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

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

Deploying Airbags/Tensioner (Outside Vehicle)
Airbag Disposal
Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners
(including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
or seat belt buckle tensioners must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the
Honda District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result
of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme
caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying the Components Out of the Vehicle
If an intact airbag or tensioner has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found
defective or damaged during transit, storage, or service, it should be deployed as follows:
1. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure or on the
tool label. 2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors on flat ground at least 30 feet (10 meters) from
any obstacles or people. 3. Follow steps 10, 11, and 12 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
Disposal of Damaged Components
Disposal of Damaged Components
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure for the driver's airbag, front passenger's
airbag, side airbag, and seat belt tensioner. 2. In all cases, make a short circuit by twisting together
the two inflator wires. 3. Package the component in exactly the same packaging that the new
replacement part came in. 4. Mark the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED",
"DAMAGED SIDE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED" or "DAMAGED
SEAT BELT TENSIONER NOT DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with your parts stock.
5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.

NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to two transmitters. If you program a
third transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter two times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only two transmitter codes can be
accepted.
^ Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes and then
reprogram them. To do this, refer to the security system owner's manual.
Programming the Transmitter
1. Move the driver's seat forward. Locate the security system control unit mounted on the floor
underneath the seat.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Use a pen or pencil to press and hold the green programming button on the side of the control
unit. When the security system LED on the instrument panel comes on, release the programming
button. (Steps 3 and 4 must be done within 5 seconds of each other.)
4. Press and release the top button on the transmitter. Verify that the LED goes out, the siren
chirps once, and the front sidemarker lights flash to confirm that the transmitter's code was
accepted by the control unit.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK, then to ON.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The immobilizer system is designed to prevent the car from being started without the owner's
ignition key. If an attempt is made to Start the car with any other key, the immobilizer system will
disable the car's fuel supply.
The immobilizer system consists of the ignition key, immobilizer control unit-receiver, immobilizer
indicator light, PGM-FI main relays, injector relay (GX), fuel pump (except GX), fuel tank internal
solenoid valve (GX), and the ECM/PCM.
With the ignition switch in ON (II) or START (III), the immobilizer control unit-receiver and the
ECM/PCM receive an "ignition on" signal through fuse 6 and the PGM-FI main relay 1. The
ECM/PCM then sends power to the ignition key transponder through the immobilizer control
unit-receiver. The transponder then sends a coded signal back to the ECM/PCM through the
receiver. If the signal is correct, the ECM/PCM will energize the car's fuel supply system by
grounding the PGM-FI main relay 2 (except GX) or injector relay (GX). The immobilizer indicator
light flashes a code to indicate that the correct key has been inserted. If the ignition key signal is
not correct, the ECM/PCM will not energize the car's fuel supply system by not grounding the
PGM-FI main relay 2 (except GX) or injector relay (GX). The immobilizer indicator light then flashes
a code to indicate that an incorrect key has been inserted.

5. If the pedal free play is out of specification, adjust the brake pedal position switch (C). If the
pedal free play is insufficient, it may result in brake
drag.
6. Push in the brake pedal position switch until its plunger is fully pressed (threaded end (A)
touching the pad (B) on the pedal arm). Then, turn the
brake pedal position switch clockwise to lock it. Make sure the brake lights go off when the pedal is
released.

airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result
of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme
caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying Airbags In the vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
and seat belt buckle tensioners should be deployed while still in the vehicle. The airbags, side
airbags, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners should not be considered as
salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3
minutes. 2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, and seat belt tensioner is securely mounted. 3.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from exiting
the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.

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
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.

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.

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.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

Environmental Impact Information
Refrigerant: Environmental Impact Information
Service Procedures
The Ozone Layer
A thin layer of ozone molecules, located 10 to 30 miles above the earth, form a protective cover by
absorbing a portion of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the Sun.
Ozone Depletion
Scientific research performed over the past 15 years links the release of chlorofluorocarbons
(CFC)s, also know by the trade name Freon) into the atmosphere to ozone depletion. When CFC's
are released into the atmosphere, they eventually reach the ozone layer located in the stratosphere
where they react with and destroy ozone molecules.
Harmful Effects
Ozone depletion and the corresponding increase in UV radiation has been shown to lead to higher
incidents of cancer as well as global warming. When viewed from a global perspective, ozone
depletion holds an enormous potential for damage.
Upper Level vs. Ground Level Ozone
Confusion often arises when we hear about the necessity of the ozone layer and ground level
ozone. The ozone layer existing high above the earth is beneficial but the same compound, when
located at ground level, is harmful to humans, animals, crops and vegetation.
Ground level ozone is a component of smog and forms when hydrocarbons (HC) react with
nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight and heat.
Montreal Protocol
In response to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the detrimental effects of (CFC)s, 24
countries and the European community met in Montreal, Canada, in 1987 to establish standards for
the control of (CFC)s. Since that time, a total of 132 countries have become signatories to this
agreement leading to an end of production of R12 in December, 1995, in all developed countries.
As established by the Montreal Protocol, R12 production in developed countries has ceased.
Clean Air Act
The United States Congress, acting in response to the Montreal Protocol, banned production of
(CFC)s by the year 2000. Congress also amended the Clean Air Act in an effort to control both the
production and use of (CFC)s for refrigerant applications including mobile vehicle air conditioning
systems.
Alternative Refrigerants
The introduction of alternative refrigerants, primarily the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 134a, aims at
preventing further ozone layer depletion. Because 134a is chlorine free, it is deemed ozone safe.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have
been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the
emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the test or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start
the engine. The MIL will come on for 15 - 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are
set. If it blinks several times, one or more readiness codes are not set to complete. To set each
code, drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures to set them in this section.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM

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 Locater)
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.

Body Paint
Paint: Service and Repair Body Paint
General
General
The 3-coat-3-bake (3C.3B) paint finishes gives the Civic a deep gloss and stunning finish. This
manual provides information on paint defects, repair, and refinishing. Throughout, the objective is
to explain in a simple yet comprehensive manner the basic items you should know about paint
repairs. Select the correct material for the defect, and repaint or refinish in the correct manner as
described.
WARNING:
- Most paints contain substances that are harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Read the paint label
before opening the container. Spray paint only in a well ventilated area.
- Cover spilled paint with sand, or wipe it up at once.
- Wear an approved respirator, gloves, eye protection, and appropriate clothing when painting.
Avoid contact with skin.
- If paint gets in your mouth or on your skin, rinse or wash thoroughly with water. If paint gets in
your eyes, flush with water and get prompt medical attention.
- Paint is flammable. Store it in a safe place, and keep it away from sparks, flames, or cigarettes.
Basic Rules for Repairing a Paint Finish
To repair paint damage, always use the 2-part acrylic urethane paints designated; polish and bake
each of the three coats, as in production, to maintain the original film thickness, and to assure the
same quality as the original finish.
Outline of Factory Painting Process:
Features in Each Work Process
1. Pretreatment and Electrodeposition
In the pretreatment process, the entire body is degreased, cleaned, and coated with zinc
phosphate by dipping. After the body has been cleaned with pure water, it is placed in an
electrolytic bath of soluble primer (Cationic Electrodeposition) This produces a thorough corrosion
inhibiting coating on the inner surface and corners of the body, pillars, sills, and panel joints.
Chipping primer is then applied to the most susceptible areas.
2. Intermediate coat
The intermediate coat is applied to the prepared surface for further protection against damage.
3. Top Coat
Enamel paint and either polyester or acrylic resin paint are used in the top coat for higher solidity,
smoothness, brightness, and weather resistance.

6. Disconnect the M, P, K, and J connectors from the under-dash fuse/relay box, and make these
input tests at the connectors.
- If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
- If all the input tests prove OK, the multiplex control unit must be faulty. Replace the under-dash
fuse/relay box assembly.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners. 3. The charges must
ignite and deploy the tensioners.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. A front impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. Aside impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally. If the
indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.

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

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners. 3. The charges must
ignite and deploy the tensioners.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. A front impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. Aside impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally. If the
indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation Precautions
Vehicle 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.

Disclaimer
Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the way into the
connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.

Transmitter Identification
The transmitter for the 1995-99 Accord and the 2000-02 Accord look identical, but they are not
interchangeable. The 1995-99 transmitter works the doors of a 2000-02 Accord, but it does not
open the trunk. If you are not sure which transmitter you have, press and hold the trunk release
button while looking at the LED. The LED on the 1995-99 transmitter comes on in about 1.1
seconds. The LED on the 2000-02 transmitter comes on in about 0.5 second.
Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is CR2025. Each transmitter uses one battery.

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

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
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.

Page 5534
Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contact less type. As the gear purser teeth rotate past the
wheel sensor's magnetic coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance
with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby
detects the wheel speed.
When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the outlet valve opens momentarily
to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is
restored, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.

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

Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early 1990's, 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's 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.

October 1, 2010
Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Safety Recall: Accord, Civic, and Element Ignition Switch Key Interlock
BACKGROUND
Under certain conditions, the interlock lever of the ignition switch may unexpectedly deform. The
interlock ensures the transmission is in Park before the ignition key can be removed. Interlock
failure may allow the ignition key to be removed when the shift lever is not in Park. If the driver fails
to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Page 8349
4. Polishing
Check that the primer surfacer has dried thoroughly, then sand the primer surfacer.

APPLIES TO: 03-04 Accord 01-04 Civic 02-04 CR-V 03-04 Element 02-04 Odyssey 03-04 Pilot
SERVICE TIP:
Got a vehicle in your shop that purrs like a kitten but it sets a DTC P0171 (fuel system too lean)?
Check the short-term fuel trim (ST FUEL TRIM B1). If the value reads higher than 1.05, then check
the MAP SENSOR value with the engine turned off and the ignition switch turned to ON (II).
- If the MAP SENSOR and BARO SENSOR values match, the MAP sensor is working OK. Do the
normal troubleshooting for DTC P0171.
- If the MAP SENSOR and BARO SENSOR values don't match, install a known-good MAP sensor,
and retest. If the sensor values now match, clear the DTC, and make sure the ST FUEL TRIM B1
value is normal (it reads about 1.0).

Wires
Page 3705
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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).

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.
Page 9303
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
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.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair System Evacuation
System Evacuation
CAUTION:
- Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
- Be careful when connecting service equipment.
- Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE
J221 0 to remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioning system.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
1. When an A/C system has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair,
it must be evacuated using a R-134a refrigerant
recovery/recycling/charging station (If the system has been open for several days, the
receiver/dryer should be replaced, and the system should be evacuated for several hours.)
2. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station (A) to the high-pressure
service port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C),
as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Evacuate the system.
3. If the low-pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 15 minutes,
there is probably a leak in the system. Partially
charge the system, and check for leaks.

programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
1. Open the driver's door.
2. Push the driver's power door lock switch to the unlock position and hold it. (Continue to hold the
switch during this procedure.)
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch, then remove it. Repeat this four more times (five times
total) within 10 seconds. (You must complete steps 3 and 4 within 10 seconds or the system will
exit the programming mode.)
4. Insert the key into the ignition switch. After you insert the key, make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in the programming mode.
5. Press the "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" button on the transmitter. All the power door locks (except the
driver's door) should cycle to confirm that the system accepted the transmitter's code.
6. To program a second transmitter, press its "LOCK" or "UNLOCK" button within 10 seconds of
programming the first transmitter.
7. Release the master power door lock switch to exit the programming mode.

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 Locater)
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.

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
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.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

How to Install New Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS
1. Carefully match the old terminal with a new one from the terminal repair kit. Choose the correct
replacement terminal based on the wire size range
the terminal will accommodate.
NOTE: If the replacement terminal quantities are low, reorder them by using the terminal part
number listed on the inside lid of the terminal repair kit. Replacement terminals are available
through your parts department using normal parts ordering procedures.
2. Depending on the size of the wire you are repairing, use the proper size slot in the crimping tool.

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor detects engine speed, and is used by the ECM/PCM to determine ignition timing
and timing for fuel injection of each cylinder.
Page 5124
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
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.

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

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

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

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The heater control panel controls the blower controls, air delivery, and A/C compressor controls
automatically. With the ignition switch in ON (II), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 14. The
control unit is grounded at G502.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor is located on the evaporator housing. If the temperature at the
evaporator gets too cold, the evaporator temperature sensor sends a signal to the heater control
panel to turn off the A/C compressor clutch. This prevents condensation from freezing on the
evaporator fins and blocking air delivery into the passenger compartment.

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.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
ABS Control Unit
Main Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it
calculates the vehicle speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the
vehicle speed during deceleration based on the rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel and transmits the control signal to the
modulator unit solenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and
pressure intensifying.
Self-diagnosis Function 1. The ABS control unit is equipped with a main CPU and a sub-CPU.
Each CPU checks the other for problems. 2. The CPUs check the circuit of the system. 3. The ABS
control unit turns on the ABS indicator when the unit detects a problem and the unit stops the
system. 4. The self-diagnosis can be classified into these two categories:
^ Initial diagnosis
^ Regular diagnosis
On-board Diagnosis Function The ABS can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding and checking wheel sensor
signals, use the Honda PGM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific
operating instructions.

6. Wipe off any debris from the lever's sliding surface on the ignition switch with a clean cloth or a
cotton swab.
NOTE:
To keep debris out of the ignition switch, do not clean it with compressed air.
Page 8134
Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is CR2025. Each transmitter uses one battery.
94-95 Passport (Except 1995-1/2)
1994-95 Passport (except 19951A) with dealer-installed security system
NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to four transmitters. If you program a
fifth transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter four times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only four transmitters can be
accepted.
Page 4156
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark above the seventh character of the engine compartment VIN. A
punch mark in that location means the ignition switch key interlock has already been
inspected/repaired.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. As a matter of
federal law, these vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.
Should a dealership sell an unrepaired vehicle that subsequently causes an injury or damage
because of the recalled item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and
will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a
vehicle in inventory is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign. An example of the
customer notification is at the end of this service bulletin.

Multiple Junction Connector: Service and Repair Checking For Poor Fir of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.
2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Page 2839
8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the way into the
connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.

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.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used 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 (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag
(C), the front passenger's airbag (D), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and
front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.
This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines
whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase
the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt
and buckle firmly to secure the occupants in their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OPDS). This system
consists of sensors (G) and a OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit
sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit. If the OPDS unit determines that the front
passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the front passenger is leaning into the side
airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger's side airbag. The
SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the seat. When the
side airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that
the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the
passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the
driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

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

Reconditioning
If the valve guides are worn, replace them before cutting the valve seats.
1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a valve seat cover.
-1 Carefully cut a 45°seat, removing only enough material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
-2 Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30° cutter and the lower edge of the seat with the
67.5° cutter (Intake) or 60° cutter (exhaust). Check
the width of the seat and adjust accordingly.
-3 Make one more very light pass with the 45° cutter to remove any possible burrs caused by the
other cutters.
Valve Seat Width Intake: Standard (New): 0.85 - 1.15 mm (0.033 - 0.045 inch) Service Limit: 1.60
mm (0.063 inch) Exhaust: Standard (New1: 1.25 - 1.55 mm (0.049 - 0.061 inch) Service Limit:2.00
mm (0.079 inch)
2. After resurfacing the seat, inspect it for even valve seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound (A)
to the valve face. Insert the valve in its original
location in the head, then lift it and snap it closed against the seat several times.
3. The actual valve seating surface (B), as shown by the blue compound, should be centered on
the seat.
^ If it is too high (closer to the valve stem), you must make a second cut with the 67.5° cutter
(Intake) or 60° cutter (exhaust) to move it down, then one more cut with the 45° cutter to restore
seat width.
^ If it is too low (closer to the valve edge), you must make a second cut with the 30° cutter to move
it up, then one more cut with the 45° cutter to restore seat width.
NOTE: The final cut should always be made with the 45° cutter.

Brakes - Brake Disc Refinishing Information
Brake Rotor/Disc: Technical Service Bulletins Brakes - Brake Disc Refinishing Information
00-088
July 14, 2010
Applies To: ALL Models
Brake Disc Refinishing Guidelines
(Supersedes 00-088, dated October 6, 2006, to revise the information marked with the black bars)
*REVISION SUMMARY
The requirement to refinish new brake discs was removed.*
American Honda does not allow replacement of brake discs under warranty unless the brake disc
is beyond its service limit for refinishing. If the brake disc is within its service limit, you must refinish
it. Maximum refinishing limits may be found in the Conventional Brakes section of the appropriate
service manual.
*Refinish brake discs only when they are scored or out of specification for runout or parallelism.
See the appropriate service manual for the specifications.*
American Honda requires refinishing of the front brake discs with an on-car brake lathe that mounts
to the steering knuckle. Use of an on-car, steering knuckle- mounted lathe is critical because it
corrects runout of the hub and disc as an assembly. Experience has shown that very small
amounts of runout, not felt as brake pulsation initially, will grow and become noticeable as the discs
are subjected to heat and wear over time and mileage. Two on-car brake lathes are recommended.
The Kwik-Lathe, model number KWY-108000501, is supported with automatic shipments of
adapters for new models, when required. The Accu-turn On-car Brake Lathe, model
ACCHONOCLPKG, is also recommended.
A power driver is required for the 82000 and is highly recommended for all other models. The
Kwik-Lathe power driver model number is KWY-108012005; the Accu-turn lathe includes a power
driver. Here are some advantages of using power drivers:
^ The disc is rotated at the optimum speed for a smooth and consistent cut.
^ There is no need to climb in and out of the vehicle to start and stop the engine or to shift the
transmission.
^ Securing the opposite wheel with a tie-down strap is not required.
^ There is no waiting for the engine to return to idle and no concern about engine speed changes
that can adversely affect brake disc cut and finish.
^ The Traction Control System (TCS) is not involved.
^ Consistent cutting speed increases cutting tool life.
ORDERING INFORMATION
Order brake lathes and power drivers through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program. To place
an order, call or use the fax order form provided in your Honda Tool and Equipment Program

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

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.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump,
pump motor, and the damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly.
It is a circulating-type modulator because the brake fluid circulates through the caliper, reservoir,
and the master cylinder. The hydraulic control has three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure
retaining, and pressure reducing. The hydraulic circuit is an independent four-channel type, one
channel for each wheel.
Pressure intensifying mode .................................................................................................................
................................................................. Inlet valve open, outlet valve closed
............................................................................................................................................................
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.
Pressure retaining mode .....................................................................................................................

.............................................................................................................................................. Caliper
fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve. Pressure reducing mode .....................................
............................................................................................................................................. Inlet
valve closed, outlet valve open
............................................................................................................................................. Caliper

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.

17. Using a small screwdriver, push down on the tip of the last tumbler to release it, then remove
the cylinder from the housing, being careful not to drop any tumblers and springs. Use your thumb
and forefinger to hold the tumblers in place. Then go to step 20.
18. While turning the key left and right and pushing on the rear of the inner cylinder to release the
spring, slowly remove the cylinder from the housing.
Page 6133
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.

Power Steering Fluid: Service and Repair
Replacement
Check the reservoir (A) at regular intervals, and add the recommended fluid as necessary. Always
use Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic
transmission fluid can cause increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.
1. Raise the reservoir, then disconnect the return hose (A) to drain the reservoir. Take care not to
spill the fluid on the body and parts. Wipe off any
spilled fluid at once.
2. Connect a hose (B) of suitable diameter to the disconnected return hose, and put the hose end
in a suitable container. 3. Start the engine, let it run at idle, and turn the steering wheel from
lock-to-lock several times. When fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the
engine. Discard the fluid.
4. Reinstall the return hose on the reservoir. 5. Fill the reservoir to the upper level line (C). 6. Start
the engine and run it at fast idle, then turn the steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air
from the system. 7. Recheck the fluid level and add more if necessary. Do not fill the reservoir
beyond the upper level line.

How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.
Page 9761
1. Remove the screw and passenger's power window switch (A) from the door panel. 2. Disconnect
the 5P connector (B) from the switch.
3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table. 4. If
the continuity is not as specified remove the two screws and replace the switch.
Page 5127
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
Page 8688
3. With the 12P connector disconnected, make these input tests. 4. If any test indicates a problem,
find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. If all the input tests prove OK, the actuator
may be faulty.
Substitute a known-good control unit and retest. If the system works properly, replace the cruise
control actuator.

8. Disconnect the 4P connector between the seat belt buckle tensioner (A) and floor wire harness.
9. Pull the seat belt out all the way and cut it.
10. Cutoff each connector, strip the ends of the wires, and connect the deployment tool alligator
clips (A) to the wires. Place the deployment tool at
least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the vehicle.
NOTE: The driver's airbag and the front passenger's airbag has four wires, two yellow and two red.
Twist each pair of unlike colored wires together, and connect an alligator clip to each pair.
11. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
- If the green light on the tool comes on, the igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy the
component. Go to Disposal of Damaged Components.
- If the red light on the tool comes on, the component is ready to be deployed.
12. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbags and tensioners should deploy (deployment is
both highly audible and visible: a loud noise and rapid
inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflation). If the components deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
- If an component doesn't deploy, yet the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to
Disposal of Damaged Components.
- During deployment the airbag can become hot enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbag.

the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
8. Put the splice connector in the proper size slot in the Crimper Tool, slide it to one end (where the
flare begins), and close the crimper handles far
enough to hold it in place. To release the ratchet mechanism at any point after the first click,
squeeze the handles slightly and push the release lever, then let the handles open.
9. Insert one of the bare wires into the splice connector end that is in the crimper jaws. Push the
wire all the way into the splice connector, and
squeeze the crimper handles. Keep squeezing until the jaws touch, and hold it at that position until
the ratchet clicks again.
10. Crimp the other wire in the same way into the other end of the splice connector.
11. After crimping, gently pull on the wires in the opposite directions to make sure they are secure
in the connector.
12. Separate the other wires in the harness from the repaired wire(s), and shield them with
nonflammable material.

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

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
Page 9506
3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from
the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former.
5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

Hydraulic Control Assembly - Antilock Brakes: Description and Operation
ABS Modulator
The ABS modulator consists of the inlet solenoid valve, outlet solenoid valve, reservoir, pump,
pump motor, and the damping chamber. The modulator reduces the caliper fluid pressure directly.
It is a circulating-type modulator because the brake fluid circulates through the caliper, reservoir,
and the master cylinder. The hydraulic control has three modes: pressure intensifying, pressure
retaining, and pressure reducing. The hydraulic circuit is an independent four-channel type, one
channel for each wheel.
Pressure intensifying mode .................................................................................................................
................................................................. Inlet valve open, outlet valve closed
............................................................................................................................................................
Master cylinder fluid is pumped out to the caliper.
Pressure retaining mode .....................................................................................................................
........................................................... Inlet valve closed, outlet valve closed
.............................................................................................................................................. Caliper
fluid is retained by the inlet valve and outlet valve. Pressure reducing mode .....................................
............................................................................................................................................. Inlet
valve closed, outlet valve open
............................................................................................................................................. Caliper
fluid flows through the outlet valve to the reservoir.
Motor operation mode
.................................................................................................................................. When starting
the pressure reducing mode, the pump motor is ON.
................................................................................................................................................... When
stopping ABS operation, the pump motor is OFF. ...........................................................................
The reservoir fluid is pumped out by the pump, through the damping chamber, to the master
cylinder.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Environmental Impact Information
Refrigerant: Environmental Impact Information
Service Procedures
The Ozone Layer
A thin layer of ozone molecules, located 10 to 30 miles above the earth, form a protective cover by
absorbing a portion of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the Sun.
Ozone Depletion
Scientific research performed over the past 15 years links the release of chlorofluorocarbons
(CFC)s, also know by the trade name Freon) into the atmosphere to ozone depletion. When CFC's
are released into the atmosphere, they eventually reach the ozone layer located in the stratosphere
where they react with and destroy ozone molecules.
Harmful Effects
Ozone depletion and the corresponding increase in UV radiation has been shown to lead to higher
incidents of cancer as well as global warming. When viewed from a global perspective, ozone
depletion holds an enormous potential for damage.
Upper Level vs. Ground Level Ozone
Confusion often arises when we hear about the necessity of the ozone layer and ground level
ozone. The ozone layer existing high above the earth is beneficial but the same compound, when
located at ground level, is harmful to humans, animals, crops and vegetation.
Ground level ozone is a component of smog and forms when hydrocarbons (HC) react with
nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight and heat.
Montreal Protocol
In response to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the detrimental effects of (CFC)s, 24
countries and the European community met in Montreal, Canada, in 1987 to establish standards for
the control of (CFC)s. Since that time, a total of 132 countries have become signatories to this
agreement leading to an end of production of R12 in December, 1995, in all developed countries.
As established by the Montreal Protocol, R12 production in developed countries has ceased.
Clean Air Act
The United States Congress, acting in response to the Montreal Protocol, banned production of
(CFC)s by the year 2000. Congress also amended the Clean Air Act in an effort to control both the
production and use of (CFC)s for refrigerant applications including mobile vehicle air conditioning
systems.
Alternative Refrigerants
The introduction of alternative refrigerants, primarily the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 134a, aims at
preventing further ozone layer depletion. Because 134a is chlorine free, it is deemed ozone safe.

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

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.

Deploying Airbags/Tensioner (Inside Vehicle)
Airbag Disposal
Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners
(including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
or seat belt buckle tensioners must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the
Honda District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result
of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme
caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying Airbags In the vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
and seat belt buckle tensioners should be deployed while still in the vehicle. The airbags, side
airbags, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners should not be considered as
salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the battery negative cable, and wait at least 3
minutes. 2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, and seat belt tensioner is securely mounted. 3.
Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool
label.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

- Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags, such as measuring resistance.
- Do not position yourself in front of the airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or
replacement.
- Refer to the scrapping procedures for disposal of the damaged airbag.
General Precautions
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.
Precautions For Electrical Inspections

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
Catalytic Converter System
NOX Adsorptive Three Way Catalyst (NOX Adsorptive TWC) (D17A6 engine)
The NOx adsorptive TWC absorbs NOx created during lean burn running when the oxygen
concentration is high. Then the engine is put into a richer running mode where the oxygen
concentration and NOx levels are low, and the absorbed NOx is released, keeping the average
NOx emissions low.
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO2), dinitrogen (N2), and water vapor.

3. Operate the switches listed. If the circuit is ok, the spotlight and ceiling lights will blink once. If
the circuit is faulty, the lights will not blink.
Tip: Operate the switches most closely related to the problem you are diagnosing is a quick way of
testing the circuits integrity.
4. If all inputs were confirmed, or multiple circuits failed at the same time in mode 2, go to the
multiplex sleep mode test. If a single switch fails in
mode 2, troubleshoot its circuit.
Multiplex Sleep Mode Test
1. Connect the positive lead of a voltmeter to terminal 10 of the under-dash fuse/relay box
connector E (YEL) or K (WHT/GRN) and the negative
lead to body ground.
2. Connect ammeter between the negative battery cable and the negative battery post. 3. Remove
the special tool from the multiplex inspection connector. 4. Close the doors, the hatch, turn the
headlights off, turn off the ignition switch and remove the key. 5. Within 1 minute the voltage on the
communication wire (E10 or K10) should change from approx 4 - 10 V to battery voltage and the
amperage at
the negative battery terminal should drop from approx. 70 - 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
6. Record your findings and go to the Multiplex Wake-up Test.
Multiplex Wake-up Test
1. From the sleep mode. Wake-up the multiplex system by performing one of the following
operations: 2. As the system shifts to its active (wake-up) mode, communication wire voltage will
return to 4 - 10 V and the battery terminal current will return to
70 - 80 mA.
3. If the system does not go into sleep mode or wake-up properly, perform the Multiplex Control
Unit Input Test.
NOTE: If multiple circuits fail to respond in the mode 2 tests and/or the multiplex circuit fails to go
into sleep mode or wake-up, it may mean that a control unit failed without triggering a DTC in mode
1. Perform the Multiplex Control Unit Input Test. If the input test confirms that all the inputs are
working properly, substitute a known-good multiplex control unit, gauge assembly or ECM one at a
time. If after swapping one of the above components the system works properly, replace the
original component, it is faulty.

Blower Motor: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The heater control panel controls the blower controls, air delivery, and A/C compressor controls
automatically. With the ignition switch in ON (II), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 14. The
control unit is grounded at G502.
Blower Controls
You can manually select the fan speed by turning the fan control dial clockwise, from the OFF
position. Turning the dial further clockwise increases the fan's speed, which increases air flow.
Battery voltage is applied through fuse 14 to the blower motor relay contacts at all times. With the
ignition switch ON (II), the blower motor relay in the under-hood fuse/relay box is energized which
feeds battery voltage to the blower motor. The blower power transistor controls the blower motor in
all speeds except HIGH. The blower power transistor is controlled by the heater control panel.
When the control panel requests HIGH blower speed, the blower power transistor grounds the
blower motor which connects it directly to ground, making the blower run at high speed.

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
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.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

A/T - Vehicle Speed Sensor Installation Precautions
Vehicle 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.

13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fir of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.
Page 5128
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair Monitors, Trips, and/or Drive Cycle (Readiness Codes)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have
been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the
emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the emissions test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the
engine. The MIL will come on for 15 - 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are
complete. If it blinks several times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set
readiness codes from incomplete to complete, do the procedure for the appropriate code.
Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness Code
NOTE:
- Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure.
- All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- Low ambient temperatures or excessive stop-and-go traffic may increase the drive time needed to
switch the readiness code from incomplete to complete.
- The readiness code will not switch to complete until all the enable criteria are met.
- If a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the MIL to come on, the readiness code cannot
be set to complete until you correct the fault.
Enable Criteria
- ECT at 158 °F (70 °C) or higher.
- Intake air temperature (IAT) at 20 °F (-7 °C) or higher.
- Vehicle speed is steady, and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) reads more then 25 mph (40 km/h).
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 5 miles (8 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Control System Monitor and Readiness code
NOTE:
- All readiness code are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- The enable criteria must be repeated if the intake air temperature (IAT) drops lower then 36 °F (2
°C) from its value at engine start up.
Enable Criteria
- At engine start up, ECT and IAT are higher than 32 °F (O °C), but lower than 95 °F (35 °C).
- At engine start up, the ECT and IAT are within 12 °F (7 °C) of each other.
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 2.5 miles (4 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Monitor and Readiness Code

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Vehicle Damage Warnings
Airbag Handling and Storage
Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not disassemble an airbag. It has no serviceable parts. Once an airbag has been deployed, it
cannot be repaired or reused. For temporary storage of the airbag during service, please observe
the following precautions.
- Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up. Never put anything on the removed airbag.
- To prevent damage to the airbag assembly, keep free from any oil, grease, detergent, or water.
- Store the removed airbag on a secure, fiat surface away from any high heat source (exceeding
200 °F / 93 °C).
Page 1678
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

7. Remove the mounting screws from the OPDS unit, and gently pull out the unit.
8. Disconnect the OPDS connectors, then remove the OPDS unit.
9. Install a new OPDS unit, then snap on its cover.
10. Slip the seat-back cover over the OPDS unit.
11. On Accords, check the seat-back clip attachment bosses on the seat-back panel:
^ If the attachment bosses are OK, go to step 12.
^ If the seat-back has a pocket, and the attachment bosses are deformed or damaged, do the
repair procedure in S/B 02-010, Seat-Back Panel Is Loose or Detached. Then go to step 12.

^ If no key code can be found on the iN or with the Matrix H High Security key Codes Book, remove
one tumbler at a time from the old inner cylinder, and match the number stamped on the old
tumbler to a new tumbler from the kit. Insert the new tumbler and spring in the appropriate new
inner cylinder cavity.
^ Do not use the old inner cylinder, springs, or tumblers.
^ Using your thumb and forefinger, hold the tumblers in place, insert the key in the cylinder and
verify that all tumblers are flush with the cylinder. If not, double-check the key number, the cutting
key code, the tumbler numbers, and the cavity locations.
NOTE:
If the key cannot be inserted, check the tumbler in the "J" cavity. It may be out of position.
Page 4118
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*

When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is
pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls
current to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to maintain the correct idle speed. Refer to the System
Diagram to see the functional layout of the system.
Idle Control System Diagram
The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the idle air control (IAC) valve:
- After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain amount of time. The amount of air is
increased to raise the idle speed.
- When the engine coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle
speed. The amount of bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature.

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

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

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.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

Seats With Side Airbags
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Seats With Side Airbags
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to the seat-back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat
manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.
Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad.
Confirm the indication when you exchange these parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
definitely deformed, it must be replaced.

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

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

Front Brake Disc Inspection
Runout 1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the proper locations.
Remove the front wheels. 2. Remove the brake pads. 3. Inspect the disc surface for damage and
cracks. Clean the disc thoroughly, and remove all rust.
4. Install suitable flat washers (A) and wheel nuts, and tighten the nuts to the specified torque to
hold the brake disc securely against the hub. 5. Set up the dial gauge against the brake disc as
shown, and measure the runout at 5 mm (0.2 inch) from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Disc Runout:
Service Limit: 0.10 mm (0.004 inch)
6. If the disc is beyond the service limit, refinish the brake disc.
Max. Refinish Limit: 19.0 mm (0.75 inch)
NOTE: ^
If the brake disc is beyond the service limit for refinishing, replace it.
^ A new disc should be refinished if its runout is greater than 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).
Thickness and Parallelism 1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and support it with safety stands in the
proper locations. Remove the front wheels. 2. Remove the brake pads.
3. Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at eight points, approximately 45° apart and 10 mm
(0.4 inch) in from the outer edge of the disc.
Replace the brake disc if the smallest measurement is less than the max. refinishing limit. Brake
Disc Thickness:
Standard: 20.9 - 21.8 mm (0.82 - 0.86 inch) Max. Refinishing Limit: 19.0 mm (0.75 inch) Brake Disc
Parallelism: 0.015 mm (0.0006 inch) max.
NOTE: This is the maximum allowable difference between the thickness measurements.
4. If the disc is beyond the service limit for parallelism, refinish the brake disc with an on-car brake
lathe. The Kwik-Lathe produced by Kwik-way
Manufacturing Co. and the "Front Brake Disc Lathe" offered by Snap-on Tools Co. are approved
for this operation.
NOTE: If the brake disc is beyond the service limit for refinishing, replace it.
Page 8755
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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners. 3. The charges must
ignite and deploy the tensioners.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. A front impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. Aside impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally. If the
indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

General Troubleshooting Information
General Troubleshooting Information
Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

- Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets
and holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
- Seat grommets in their grooves properly (A). Do not leave grommets distorted (B).
Testing and Repairs
- Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation. Replace them or repair them by wrapping
the break with electrical tape.
- After installing parts, make sure that no wires are pinched under them.
- When using electrical test equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions and those described.
- If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the wire side (except waterproof connector).
- Use back probe adaptor 07TAZ-001020A.
- Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for identification and replacement of connector
terminals.

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow from power at the top of the diagram to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another for example is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works you know the shared wiring is OK.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Heater Blows Cool Air When Coming to a Stop or at Idle
Got a 01-05 Civic with a heater that blows warm air while driving but starts blowing Cool air when
coming to a stop or at idle? What's most likely causing this problem is air trapped in the heater
core. To fix this problem, you've got to bleed the cooling system (replacing the thermostat won't do
the trick). Here's how you do it:
1. Fill the reserve tank with Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 50 the coolant level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the tank.
2. Remove the radiator cap. Make sure the coolant level is up to the base of the filler neck. Add
coolant if needed.
3. Loosely install the radiator cap.
4. Set the temperature control knob to maximum.
5. Start the engine, and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature (the cooling fans
cycle twice). Shut off the engine.
6. Remove the radiator cap. Make sure the coolant level is up to the base of the filler neck. Add
coolant if needed.
7. Securely install the radiator cap.
8. Start the engine, and check for leaks.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).

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

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.

Air Door Actuator / Motor: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The heater control unit-panel controls the blower controls, air delivery, and A/C compressor
controls automatically. With the ignition switch in ON (II), battery voltage is supplied through fuse
14. The control unit is grounded at G502.
Air Delivery
The heater control unit-panel controls the blower motor and supplies a 5 VDC reference voltage to
the air mixture control motor.
The air mix and mode control motors each receive inputs from the control unit. The air mix motor
regulates the mixture of cold and hot air by varying the position of the heater-evaporator door. The
mode control motor controls the direction and volume of outlet air. Use the mode control dial to
select the vents the air flows from. Some air will flow from the dashboard corner vents in all modes.
Both the air mix control motor and mode control motor are grounded by the control unit.
The recirculation control motor receives battery voltage through fuse 14 when the ignition switch is
ON (II). It regulates the position of the fresh/recirc door, and is controlled by the heater control
unit-panel when the recirculation button is pressed at the recir-A/C-rear defogger switch assembly.

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

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair Monitors, Trips, and/or Drive Cycle (Readiness Codes)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have
been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the
emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the emissions test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the
engine. The MIL will come on for 15 - 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are
complete. If it blinks several times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set
readiness codes from incomplete to complete, do the procedure for the appropriate code.
Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness Code
NOTE:
- Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure.
- All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- Low ambient temperatures or excessive stop-and-go traffic may increase the drive time needed to
switch the readiness code from incomplete to complete.
- The readiness code will not switch to complete until all the enable criteria are met.
- If a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the MIL to come on, the readiness code cannot
be set to complete until you correct the fault.
Enable Criteria
- ECT at 158 °F (70 °C) or higher.
- Intake air temperature (IAT) at 20 °F (-7 °C) or higher.
- Vehicle speed is steady, and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) reads more then 25 mph (40 km/h).
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 5 miles (8 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Control System Monitor and Readiness code
NOTE:
- All readiness code are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- The enable criteria must be repeated if the intake air temperature (IAT) drops lower then 36 °F (2
°C) from its value at engine start up.
Enable Criteria
- At engine start up, ECT and IAT are higher than 32 °F (O °C), but lower than 95 °F (35 °C).
- At engine start up, the ECT and IAT are within 12 °F (7 °C) of each other.
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 2.5 miles (4 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Monitor and Readiness Code
NOTE:
- Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure.
- All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.
Page 6192
17. Attach a hose (A) to the end of the pressure control valve (B) as shown. Then submerge the
pressure control valve in a container of power steering
fluid or solvent (C), and blow in the hose. ^
If air bubbles leak through the valve at less than 98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi), replace the pump
as an assembly. The pressure control valve is not available separately.
^ If the pressure control valve is OK, set it aside for reassembly later.
18. Inspect the ball bearing by rotating the outer race slowly. If you feel any play (axial or radial) or
roughness, remove the faulty ball bearing (A), and
install a new one (B).
19. Inspect each part shown with an asterisk in the Exploded View; if any of them are worn or
damaged, replace the pump as an assembly.
Reassembly
20. Install the new pump seal (A) (with its grooved side facing in) into the pump housing (B) by
hand first, then drive it in using the special tools until
the seal is fully seated in the pump housing.

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
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.

1. Turn the steering wheel fully to the right and left while applying the brake, and check the turning
angles of both front wheels. If the turning angle is
not within the specification or the inward turning angles differ between the right and left side, go to
step 2.
2. Check the toe. If it is correct, but the turning angle is not within the specification, check for bent
or damaged suspension components.

the 14P connector (B) from the switch.
3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table.
Driver's Switch: The driver's switch is combined with the control unit so you cannot isolate the
switch to test it. Instead, run the master switch input test procedures. If the tests are normal, the
driver's switch must be faulty.
4. If the switch is faulty, remove the three screws and replace the switch.

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

6. Remove the flange nuts (A) from the top of the damper. 7. Lower the lower arm, and remove the
damper assembly (B).
Disassembly/Inspection
1. Compress the damper spring with a commercially available strut spring compressor (A)
according to the manufacturer's instructions, then remove
the self-locking nut (B) while holding the damper shaft (C) with a hex wrench (D). Do not compress
the spring more than necessary to remove the nut.
2. Release the pressure from the strut spring compressor, then disassemble the damper as shown
in the Exploded View. 3. Reassemble all the parts, except for the spring.
4. Compress the damper assembly by hand, and check for smooth operation through a full stroke,
both compression and extension. The damper
should extend smoothly and constantly when compression is released. If it does not, the gas is
leaking and the damper should be replaced.
5. Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, and binding during these tests.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male

Valve: Testing and Inspection Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance Inspection
Inspection
1. Slide the valve out of its guide about 10 mm, then measure the guide-to-stem clearance with a
dial indicator while rocking the stem in the direction
of normal thrust (wobble method). ^
If the measurement exceeds the service limit, recheck it using a new valve.
^ If the measurement is now within the service limit, reassemble using a new valve.
^ If the measurement with a new valve still exceeds the service limit, go to step 2. Intake Valve
Stem-to-Guide Clearance Standard (New): 0.04 - 0.10 mm (0.002 - 0.004 inch) Service Limit: 0.16

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

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
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.

Seats With Side Airbags
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Seats With Side Airbags
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to the seat-back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat
manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.
Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad.
Confirm the indication when you exchange these parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
definitely deformed, it must be replaced.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Page 5038
3. If there is no continuity between any terminal, remove the transmission range switch cover, and
disconnect the connector (A) at the switch (B).
4. Check for continuity between terminals at the switch connector (c). There should be continuity
between the terminals listed for each position.
In the P position, between terminals: ^
No. 4 and No. 5
^ No. 4 and No. 6
^ No. 5 and No. 6
In the R position, between terminals: ^
No. 1 and No. 4
In the N position, between terminals: ^
No. 4 and No. 5

Power Steering Pump: Testing and Inspection Pump Pressure Test With T/N 07406-0010001
Test
Special Tools Required ^
P/S joint adapter (pump) 07RAK-S040111 or 07RAK-S040110
^ P/S joint adapter those) 07RAK-S040122
^ P/S pressure gauge 07406-0010001
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whether the trouble is in the pump or gearbox. 1.
Check the power steering fluid level and pump belt tension.
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose (A) from the pump outlet with care so as not to spill the power
steering fluid on the frame and other parts. Install
the P/S Joint adapter (pump) on the pump outlet (B).
3. Connect the P/S joint adapter (hose) to the P/S pressure gauge, then connect the pump outlet
hose (A) to the P/S joint adapter (hose). 4. Install the P/S pressure gauge to the P/S joint adapter
(pump).
5. Fully open the shut-off valve (A). 6. Fully open the pressure control valve (B). 7. Start the engine
and let it idle. 8. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm the fluid to
operating temperature at 158°F (70°). 9. Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engine is
idling. If the pump is in good condition, the gauge should be no more than 690 - 1,500
kPa (7 - 15 kgf/cm2, 100 - 214 psi). If it reads higher, check for: ^
Clogged or deformed feed or return line between the pump and gearbox.
^ Clogged valve body unit.
Raise the engine speed to 3,000 rpm, and measure the fluid pressure. If the pump is in good
condition, the gauge should read at least 290 - 1,100 kPa (3 - 11 kgf/cm2, 43 - 156 psi). If it reads
less, repair or replace the pump.
10. Lower the engine speed and let it idle. Close the shut-off valve, then close the pressure control
valve gradually until the pressure gauge needle is
stable. Read the pressure.
NOTICE: Do not keep the shut-off valve closed more than 5 seconds or the pump could be
damaged by overheating.
11. Immediately open the pressure control valve fully. If the pump is in good condition, the gauge
should read at least 7,600 - 8,300 kPa (78 - 85
kgf/cm2, 1,110 - 1,210 psi) ('01-03 models), or 7,800-8,500 kPa (80-87 kgf/cm2, 1,140-1,240 psi)
('04 model). A low reading means pump output is too low for full assist. Repair or replace the
pump.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
Page 9101
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and

8. Disconnect the 4P connector between the seat belt buckle tensioner (A) and floor wire harness.
9. Pull the seat belt out all the way and cut it.
10. Cutoff each connector, strip the ends of the wires, and connect the deployment tool alligator
clips (A) to the wires. Place the deployment tool at
least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the vehicle.
NOTE: The driver's airbag and the front passenger's airbag has four wires, two yellow and two red.
Twist each pair of unlike colored wires together, and connect an alligator clip to each pair.
11. Connect a 12 volt battery to the tool.
- If the green light on the tool comes on, the igniter circuit is defective and cannot deploy the
component. Go to Disposal of Damaged Components.
- If the red light on the tool comes on, the component is ready to be deployed.
12. Push the tool's deployment switch. The airbags and tensioners should deploy (deployment is
both highly audible and visible: a loud noise and rapid
inflation of the bag, followed by slow deflation). If the components deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
- If an component doesn't deploy, yet the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to
Disposal of Damaged Components.
- During deployment the airbag can become hot enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbag.
13. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A),
and seal it securely.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

Power Steering Pump: Testing and Inspection Pump Pressure Test With T/N 07406-001000A
Test
Special Tools Required ^
P/S joint adapter (pump) 07RAK-S040111 or 07RAK-S040110
^ P/S joint adapter (hose) 07RAK-S040122
^ P/S pressure gauge 07406-001000A
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whether the trouble is in the pump or gearbox. 1.
Check the power steering fluid level and pump belt tension.
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose (A) from the pump outlet with care so as not to spill the power
steering fluid on the frame and other parts. Install
the P/S joint adapter (pump) on the pump outlet (B).
3. Connect the P/S joint adapter (hose) to the P/S pressure gauge, then connect the pump outlet
hose (A) to the P/S joint adapter (hose). 4. Install the P/S pressure gauge to the P/S joint adapter
(pump).
5. Open the pressure control valve (A) fully. 6. Start the engine and let it idle. 7. Turn the steering
wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm the fluid to operating temperature at 158°F (70°C). 8.
Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engine is idling. If the pump is in good condition, the
gauge should be no more than 690 - 1,500
kPa (7 - 15 kgf/cm2, 100 - 214 psi). If it reads higher, check for: ^
Clogged or deformed feed or return line between the pump and gearbox.
^ Clogged valve body unit.
Raise the engine speed to 3,000 rpm, and measure the fluid pressure. If the pump is in good
condition, the gauge should read at least 290 - 1,100 kPa (3 - 11 kgf/cm2, 43 - 156 psi). If it reads
less, repair or replace the pump.
9. Lower the engine speed and let it idle. Close the pressure control valve gradually until the
pressure gauge needle is stable. Read the pressure.
NOTICE: Do not keep the pressure control valve closed more than 5 seconds or the pump could be
damaged by over-heating.
10. Immediately open the pressure control valve fully. If the pump is in good condition, the gauge
should read at least 7,600 - 8,300 kPa (78 - 85
kgf/cm2, 1,110 - 1,210 psi). A low reading means pump output is too low for full assist. Repair or
replace the pump.

System Description
Information Bus: Description and Operation System Description
System Descriptions
The Multiplex Control System has four internal functions:
- Multiplexing (send multiple signals over shared wires)
- Wake up/sleep (runs at full power only on demand to reduce battery draw)
- Fail-safe (fixes or ignores faulty signals)
- Self-diagnosis (Mode 1 for the system. Mode 2 for input lines)
The system controls the function of these circuits:
- Entry light control (ignition key light and ceiling light)
- Wiper/washer (including intermittent wipe and park functions)
- Interlock system
- Keyless/power Door Lock
- Key-in reminder
- Meter assembly, temperature gauge, and indicator lights
- HVAC (compressor and fan control)
Multiplex Communication
To reduce the number of wire harnesses, digital signals are sent via shared multiplex
communication lines rather than sending normal electrical signals through individual wires.
- The input signals from each switch are converted to digital signals at the central processing unit
(CPU).
- The digital signals are sent from the transmitting unit to the receiving unit as serial signals.
- The transmitted signal is converted to a switch signal at the receiving unit, and it operates the
related component or monitors a switch.
- There are exclusive communication lines between the ECM/PCM, the gauge assembly, and the
under-dash fuse/relay box,
Wake-up and Sleep
The multiplex control system has "wake-up" and "sleep" functions to decrease parasitic draw on
the battery when the ignition switch is OFF.
- In the sleep mode, the multiplex control unit stops functioning (communication and CPU control)
when it is not necessary for the system to operate.
- As soon as any operation is requested (for example, a door is unlocked), the related control unit
in the sleep mode immediately wakes up and begins to function.
- When the ignition switch is turned OFF, and the driver's or front passenger's door is opened, then
closed, there is about a 10 second delay before the control unit goes from the wake-up mode to the
sleep mode.
- If any door is open, the sleep mode will not function.
- If a key is in the ignition switch, the sleep mode will not function.
- When in sleep mode, the draw is reduced from 70 - 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
Fail-safe
To prevent improper operation, the multiplex control system has a fail-safe function. In the fail-safe
mode, the output signal is fixed when any part of the system malfunctions (for example a faulty
control unit or communication line).
Each control unit has a hardware fail-safe function that fixes the output signal when there is any
CPU malfunction, and a software fail-safe function that ignores the signal from the malfunctioning
control unit and allows the system to operate normally.

ATF Cooler Cleaning
Special Tools Required ^
ATF Cooler Cleaner GHITTCF6H
^ Magnetic Nonbypass Spin-on Filter GTHGNBP2 (Available through the Honda Tool and
Equipment Program 1-888-424-6857)
Before installing an overhauled or remanufactured automatic transmission, you must thoroughly
clean the ATF cooler to prevent system contamination. Failure to do so could cause a repeat
automatic transmission failure. The cleaning procedure involves heated ATF-Z1 delivered under
high pressure (100 psi). Check the security of all hoses and connections. Always wear safety
glasses or a face shield, along with gloves and protective clothing. If you get ATF in your eyes or
on your skin, rinse with water immediately.
WARNING: ^
Improper use of the ATF cooler cleaner can result in burns and other serious injuries.
^ Always wear eye protection and protective clothing, and follow this procedure.
1. Check the fluid in the cooler cleaner tank. (The fluid level should be 4.5 inches from the top of
the filler neck.) Adjust the level if needed; do not
overfill. Use only Honda ATF-Z1; do not use any additives.
2. Plug the cooler cleaner into a 110 V grounded electrical outlet.
NOTICE: Make sure the outlet has no other appliances (light fixtures, drop lights, extension cords)
plugged into it. Also, never plug the cooler cleaner into an extension cord or drop light; you would
damage the unit.
3. Flip the HEAT toggle switch to ON; the green indicator above the toggle switch comes on. Wait 1
hour for the cooler cleaner to reach its operating
temperature. (The cooler cleaner is ready to use when the temperature gauge reads 140° to
150°F.)
NOTE: If the red indicator above the HEAT toggle switch comes on, the fluid level in the tank is too
low for the tank heater to work.

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

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.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used 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 (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag
(C), the front passenger's airbag (D), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and
front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.
This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines
whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase
the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt
and buckle firmly to secure the occupants in their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OPDS). This system
consists of sensors (G) and a OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit
sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit. If the OPDS unit determines that the front
passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the front passenger is leaning into the side
airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger's side airbag. The
SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the seat. When the
side airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that
the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the
passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the
driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System)
The side airbag system also includes an Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS). This
system consists of Sensors (G) and a OPDS Unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The
OPDS unit sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit.
If the SRS unit determines that the front passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the
front passenger is leaning into the side airbag deployment path, it will automatically disable the
airbag. The SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the
seat.
Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator
When the side airbag is disabled, the Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator on the instrument panel alerts
the driver that the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is
removed, or the passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off, alerting the
driver that the side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

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

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.

Seat Belt: Testing and Inspection
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and
procedures before preforming repairs or service
WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible injury, always disconnect the seat belt
tensioner connector before removing the retractor.
In-vehicle Seat Belt Inspection
1. Check that the seat belt is not twisted or caught on anything. 2. After installing the anchors,
check for free movement on the anchor bolts. If necessary, remove the anchor bolts, and check
that the washers and
other parts are not damaged or improperly installed.
3. Check the seat belts for damage or discoloration. Clean with a shop towel if necessary.
CAUTION: Use only soap and water to clean.
NOTE: Dirt build-up in the metal loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract
slowly. Wipe the inside of the loops with a clean cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol.
4. Check that the seat belt does not lock when pulled out slowly. The seat belt is designed to lock
only during a sudden stop or impact. 5. Make sure that the seat belt will retract automatically when
released. 6. For each passenger's seat belt, make sure that the locking mechanism in the seat belt
retractor will engage when the seat belt is pulled all the way
out.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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

Terminal Numbering System
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they're in. The cavities 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

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

SRS Unit, Front Sensors and Side Impact Sensors
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front sensors, or the side impact sensors whenever
the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 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, front sensors, and the side impact sensor. The airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt tensioners were deployed, replace the SRS unit,
front sensors, and other related components. After a collision in which a side airbag was deployed,
replace the side impact sensor on the deployed side 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, front sensors, 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 3 minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting 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 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.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 °G) and dry (less
than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

Description and Operation
Fuel Cut Control Unit: Description and Operation
Fuel Cut-off Control
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel
economy at speeds over 850 rpm.
Fuel cut-off action also occurs when engine speed exceeds 6,900 rpm, regardless of the position of
the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. With A/T model, when the vehicle is
stopped, the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm.

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.
Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way of
transporting the vehicle.
To accommodate the flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with towing hooks (A) and tie
down slots (B).
The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down slots
can be used to secure the vehicle to truck.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear)
and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground.
Sling-type Equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go
around parts of the frame or suspension and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground.
The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is
attempted.
If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, it should be towed with the front wheels off the
ground. If due to damage, the vehicle must be towed with the front wheels on the ground, do the
following:
Manual Transmission
- Release the parking brake.
- Shift the transmission in Neutral.
Automatic Transmission and CVT
- Release the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Shift to D position, then N position.

Seats With Side Airbags
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Seats With Side Airbags
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to the seat-back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat
manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.
Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad.
Confirm the indication when you exchange these parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
definitely deformed, it must be replaced.

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Ignition Keys Gets Warm While Driving
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Ignition Key Gets Warm While Driving
APPLIES TO: 2003 Accords, 2001-03 Civics, 2002-03 CR-Vs
SERVICE TIP: Are owners of complaining of the ignition key getting warm while driving? The key
interlock solenoid in the ignition switch is the likely culprit. This solenoid is energized anytime the
shift lever isn't in Park, so the heat from the solenoid gets transferred to the ignition key. This is a
normal characteristic of the vehicle, and can't be fixed by replacing the key interlock solenoid, the
ignition lockset, or any other component.

enough to hold it in place. To release the ratchet mechanism at any point after the first click,
squeeze the handles slightly and push the release lever, then let the handles open.
9. Insert one of the bare wires into the splice connector end that is in the crimper jaws. Push the
wire all the way into the splice connector, and
squeeze the crimper handles. Keep squeezing until the jaws touch, and hold it at that position until
the ratchet clicks again.
10. Crimp the other wire in the same way into the other end of the splice connector.
11. After crimping, gently pull on the wires in the opposite directions to make sure they are secure
in the connector.
12. Separate the other wires in the harness from the repaired wire(s), and shield them with
nonflammable material.

1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. During the drive, decelerate (with the throttle fully closed)
for 5 seconds. After about 3.5 miles (5.6 km), the readiness code should switch from incomplete to
complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, the
enable criteria was probably not met; repeat the
procedure.
Air/Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Heater Monitor Readiness Code
NOTE: All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine, and let it idle for 1 minute. The readiness code should switch
from incomplete to complete. 3. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a
temporary DTC. If there is no DTC, repeat the procedure.
Misfire Monitor and Readiness Code
- This readiness code is always set to available because misfiring is continuously monitored.
- Monitoring pauses, and the misfire counter resets, if the vehicle is driven over a rough road.
- Monitoring also pauses, and the misfire counter holds at its current value, if the throttle position
changes more than a predetermined value, or if driving conditions fall outside the range of any
related enable criteria.
Fuel System Monitor and Readiness Code
- This readiness code is always set to available because the fuel system is continuously monitored
during closed loop operation.
- Monitoring pauses when the catalytic converter, EVAP control system, and A/F sensor monitors
are active.
- Monitoring also pauses when any related enable criteria are not being met. Monitoring resumes
when the enable criteria is again being met.
Comprehensive Component Monitor and Readiness Code
This readiness code is always set to available because the comprehensive component monitor is
continuously running whenever the engine is cranking or running.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop

^ Going from front to back, use the middle lock pin to set the first cam to the appropriate key code
number in the code book. (The cam is properly set when the number on the cam lines up with the
red scribe mark on the clamp unit.)
^ Slide the lock pin through the notch in the cam. (This locks the cam in place.)
^ Keep doing this for each of the remaining cams in the set until all the cams are set and locked,
then push the lock pin all the way in.
Repeat this process to set and lock the cams for the right cam set.
NOTE:
Make sure you set the MIS cam in the right cam set for the type of key you are cutting. For a
master key, set the cam to M; for a valet key, set it to S.
When you are done, push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams in the left cam set.
10. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the right
side at the front of the cams. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this
height. Do not overtighten the lever.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)
12. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the cam blades from front
to back. (The cutter bit cuts the same contours into the right edge of the key blank, from head to
tip.)

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

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair Monitors, Trips, and/or Drive Cycle (Readiness Codes)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have
been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the
emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the emissions test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the
engine. The MIL will come on for 15 - 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are
complete. If it blinks several times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set
readiness codes from incomplete to complete, do the procedure for the appropriate code.
Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness Code
NOTE:
- Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure.
- All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- Low ambient temperatures or excessive stop-and-go traffic may increase the drive time needed to
switch the readiness code from incomplete to complete.
- The readiness code will not switch to complete until all the enable criteria are met.
- If a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the MIL to come on, the readiness code cannot
be set to complete until you correct the fault.
Enable Criteria
- ECT at 158 °F (70 °C) or higher.
- Intake air temperature (IAT) at 20 °F (-7 °C) or higher.
- Vehicle speed is steady, and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) reads more then 25 mph (40 km/h).
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 5 miles (8 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Control System Monitor and Readiness code
NOTE:
- All readiness code are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- The enable criteria must be repeated if the intake air temperature (IAT) drops lower then 36 °F (2
°C) from its value at engine start up.
Enable Criteria
- At engine start up, ECT and IAT are higher than 32 °F (O °C), but lower than 95 °F (35 °C).
- At engine start up, the ECT and IAT are within 12 °F (7 °C) of each other.
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 2.5 miles (4 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Monitor and Readiness Code
NOTE:
- Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure.
- All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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).

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Ignition Keys Gets Warm While Driving
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Ignition Key Gets Warm While Driving
APPLIES TO: 2003 Accords, 2001-03 Civics, 2002-03 CR-Vs
SERVICE TIP: Are owners of complaining of the ignition key getting warm while driving? The key
interlock solenoid in the ignition switch is the likely culprit. This solenoid is energized anytime the
shift lever isn't in Park, so the heat from the solenoid gets transferred to the ignition key. This is a
normal characteristic of the vehicle, and can't be fixed by replacing the key interlock solenoid, the
ignition lockset, or any other component.

- Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets
and holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
- Seat grommets in their grooves properly (A). Do not leave grommets distorted (B).
Testing and Repairs
- Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation. Replace them or repair them by wrapping
the break with electrical tape.
- After installing parts, make sure that no wires are pinched under them.
- When using electrical test equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions and those described.
- If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the wire side (except waterproof connector).
- Use back probe adaptor 07TAZ-001020A.

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.

Airbag Disposal
Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners
(including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
or seat belt buckle tensioners must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the
Honda District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result
of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme
caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying the Components Out of the Vehicle
If an intact airbag or tensioner has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found
defective or damaged during transit, storage, or service, it should be deployed as follows:
1. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure or on the
tool label. 2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors on flat ground at least 30 feet (10 meters) from
any obstacles or people. 3. Follow steps 10, 11, and 12 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.

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

The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

13. After completing the right edge, push all of the cam blades to the right until they touch the
cams, then trace the cam blades from back to front. (The cutter bit cuts the same contours into the
left edge of the key from tip to head.) Turn off the cutter motor.
14. Release the vertical carriage lever. Push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the
cams. Pull the vertical carriage lever towards you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the
right side, at the front of the cams. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at
this height. Do not overtighten the lever.
15. Turn on the cutter motor, then retrace the cam blades from front to back. Push all the cam
blades to the right until they touch the cams, and then retrace the cam blades from back to front
(retracing cleans up the cuts on the key). Turn off the cutter motor.
16. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove the key. Make sure the jaw is
free of any metal shavings or debris. Turn the key over so the blank side is up, then slide it into the
jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key in place.
17. Push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams. Repeat steps 10 through 15 to cut
both edges on the other side of the key.
18. When you are done making the required cuts, release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw
and remove the key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and the locks. If the key does not work, recut the
key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key, code the key transponder.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have
been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the
emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the test or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start
the engine. The MIL will come on for 15 - 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are
set. If it blinks several times, one or more readiness codes are not set to complete. To set each
code, drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures to set them in this section.

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Ignition Keys Gets Warm While Driving
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Ignition Key Gets Warm While Driving
APPLIES TO: 2003 Accords, 2001-03 Civics, 2002-03 CR-Vs
SERVICE TIP: Are owners of complaining of the ignition key getting warm while driving? The key
interlock solenoid in the ignition switch is the likely culprit. This solenoid is energized anytime the
shift lever isn't in Park, so the heat from the solenoid gets transferred to the ignition key. This is a
normal characteristic of the vehicle, and can't be fixed by replacing the key interlock solenoid, the
ignition lockset, or any other component.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.

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

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

Fuel Line Coupler: Service and Repair
Fuel Line/Quick-Connect Fitting Precaution
The fuel line/quick-connect fittings connect the fuel rail (A) to fuel feed line (B), the fuel feed line (B)
to the fuel pipe (C), and the fuel line (D) to the fuel tank unit (E). When removing or installing the
fuel feed hose, fuel tank unit or fuel tank, it is necessary to disconnect or connect the quick-connect
fittings.
Pay attention to the following:
- The fuel feed hose (B), fuel line (D), and quick-connect fittings (E) are not heat-resistant; be
careful not to damage them during welding or other heat-generating procedures.
- The fuel feed hose (B), fuel line (D), and quick-connect fittings (E) are not acid-proof; do not touch
them with a shop towel used for wiping battery electrolyte. Replace them if they came into contact
with electrolyte or something similar.
- When connecting or disconnecting the fuel feed hose (B), fuel line (D), and quick-connect fittings
(E), be careful not to bend or twist them excessively. Replace them if they are damaged.
A disconnected quick-connect fitting can be reconnected, but the retainer on the mating line cannot
be reused once it has been removed from the line.

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.

SRS Unit, Front Sensors and Side Impact Sensors
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front sensors, or the side impact sensors whenever
the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 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, front sensors, and the side impact sensor. The airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt tensioners were deployed, replace the SRS unit,
front sensors, and other related components. After a collision in which a side airbag was deployed,
replace the side impact sensor on the deployed side 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, front sensors, 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 3 minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting 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 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.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 °G) and dry (less
than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

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.

NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to two transmitters. If you program a
third transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter two times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only two transmitter codes can be
accepted.
^ Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes and then
reprogram them. To do this, refer to the security system owner's manual.
Programming the Transmitter
1. Move the driver's seat forward. Locate the security system control unit mounted on the floor
underneath the seat.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Use a pen or pencil to press and hold the green programming button on the side of the control
unit. When the security system LED on the instrument panel comes on, release the programming
button. (Steps 3 and 4 must be done within 5 seconds of each other.)
4. Press and release the top button on the transmitter. Verify that the LED goes out, the siren
chirps once, and the front sidemarker lights flash to confirm that the transmitter's code was
accepted by the control unit.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK, then to ON.

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

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

3. Operate the switches listed. If the circuit is ok, the spotlight and ceiling lights will blink once. If
the circuit is faulty, the lights will not blink.
Tip: Operate the switches most closely related to the problem you are diagnosing is a quick way of
testing the circuits integrity.
4. If all inputs were confirmed, or multiple circuits failed at the same time in mode 2, go to the
multiplex sleep mode test. If a single switch fails in
mode 2, troubleshoot its circuit.
Multiplex Sleep Mode Test
1. Connect the positive lead of a voltmeter to terminal 10 of the under-dash fuse/relay box
connector E (YEL) or K (WHT/GRN) and the negative
lead to body ground.
2. Connect ammeter between the negative battery cable and the negative battery post. 3. Remove
the special tool from the multiplex inspection connector. 4. Close the doors, the hatch, turn the
headlights off, turn off the ignition switch and remove the key. 5. Within 1 minute the voltage on the
communication wire (E10 or K10) should change from approx 4 - 10 V to battery voltage and the
amperage at
the negative battery terminal should drop from approx. 70 - 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
6. Record your findings and go to the Multiplex Wake-up Test.
Multiplex Wake-up Test
1. From the sleep mode. Wake-up the multiplex system by performing one of the following
operations: 2. As the system shifts to its active (wake-up) mode, communication wire voltage will
return to 4 - 10 V and the battery terminal current will return to
70 - 80 mA.
3. If the system does not go into sleep mode or wake-up properly, perform the Multiplex Control
Unit Input Test.
NOTE: If multiple circuits fail to respond in the mode 2 tests and/or the multiplex circuit fails to go
into sleep mode or wake-up, it may mean that a control unit failed without triggering a DTC in mode
1. Perform the Multiplex Control Unit Input Test. If the input test confirms that all the inputs are
working properly, substitute a known-good multiplex control unit, gauge assembly or ECM one at a
time. If after swapping one of the above components the system works properly, replace the
original component, it is faulty.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Multiple Junction Connector: Service and Repair How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at

How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
Out of warranty: Any repairs to the SRS system for problems other than the 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3
DTCs that are done after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by the
District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request consideration, and get a
decision, before starting work.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
^ When you check for SRS DTCs with the HDS, codes other than 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3 are not
covered by this warranty extension bulletin.
^ If the vehicle is covered by warranty, repair it using the normal warranty repair procedures. If the
vehicle's warranty is expired, give your customer an estimate for the cost of the repair.
Do the appropriate inspection, based on the DTC.
SRS DTC 15-1
Clear the DTC with the HDS.
^ If DTC 15-1 does not set again, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
^ If DTC 15-1 sets again, continue with normal troubleshooting.
^ If the OPDS unit causes DTC 15-1 to set repeatedly, yet passes the other troubleshooting steps,
go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
SRS DTC 15-2
1. Inspect the connections and the wiring in the side airbag cutoff indicator circuit.
^ If all the connections and the wiring are OK, go to step 2.
^ If any of the connections or the wiring are faulty, repair the circuit, then go to step 2.
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
^ If DTC 15-2 does not set again, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
^ If DTC 15-2 sets again, continue with normal troubleshooting.
^ If the OPDS unit causes DTC 15-2 to set repeatedly, yet passes the other troubleshooting steps,
go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
SRS DTC 15-3
1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

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

12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).

Shift Indicator: Testing and Inspection Continuously Variable Transmission
Indicator Input Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations, precautions, and
procedures in the SRS section before performing repairs or service. 1. If the MIL has been
reported, check for a DTC, and repair the system as indicated by DTC. 2. If the MIL does not come
on, and the A/T gear position indicator P, N, or R does not come on. Turn the ignition switch off,
remove the gauge
assembly from the dashboard, then disconnect gauge assembly connector A (22P) and B (22P).
3. Inspect the connectors and connector terminals to be sure they are making good contact. 4. If
the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
5. Shift to the P position, and check for continuity between AS terminal (BLU/BLK) and ground.
There should be continuity in the P position and no
continuity in any other shift lever position. If your test results are different, check for a faulty
transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
6. Shift to the N position, and check for continuity between AS terminal (BLK/RED) and ground.
There should be continuity in the N position and no
continuity in any-other shift lever position. If your test results are different, check for a faulty
transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), shift to the R position, and check for voltage between A11
terminal (WHT) and ground. There should be 0 V in
the R position. There should be about 5 V in any other shift lever position. If your test results are
different, check for a faulty transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
8. Check for voltage between B17 terminal (YEL) and ground with the ignition switch ON (II). There
should be battery voltage. If your test results
are different, check for a blown No. 10 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box or an open in
the wire.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and check for continuity between B16terminal (BLK) and ground
under all conditions. There should be continuity.
If your test results are different, check for a poor ground (G501) or an open in the wire.
10. If all input tests prove OK, but the indicator is faulty, replace the printed circuit board.

*DETERMINING WHICH KEY TO USE
T-5 keys require less time to program and should be the first choice. They can be used as long as
the following requirements are met:
^ Do you have the customer's operating key?
^ Does the vehicle fall within the T-5 Sidewinder Key Applications?
^ Does your dealership have an Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator?
If the answer to all three questions on the above is yes, the 1-5 key option is the easier procedure.
If you answered no to any of the questions, you should order the key(s) from the parts catalogue,
and program it using the HDS.*
BEFORE YOU START CUTTING
1. Get the original key or the key number from your customer or from the iN.
2. Get the applicable key blank.
3. If cutting by code, look up the applicable 9-digit cutting code for the key number. Refer to the
code book Honda High Security key Codes that comes with the machine.

Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early 1990's, 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's 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.

How to Install New Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS
1. Carefully match the old terminal with a new one from the terminal repair kit. Choose the correct
replacement terminal based on the wire size range
the terminal will accommodate.
NOTE: If the replacement terminal quantities are low, reorder them by using the terminal part
number listed on the inside lid of the terminal repair kit. Replacement terminals are available
through your parts department using normal parts ordering procedures.
2. Depending on the size of the wire you are repairing, use the proper size slot in the crimping tool.
Page 9510
13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fir of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.
Page 5373
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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.

- From the wheelhouse side, plug weld the holes in the dashboard upper and damper housing
extension.
- Weld the front wheelhouse, damper housing, and front side
- Weld the wheelhouse upper member. When replacing the front wheelhouse only, but weld the
wheelhouse upper member.
Page 2525
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
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.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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.

8. Put the splice connector in the proper size slot in the Crimper Tool, slide it to one end (where the
flare begins), and close the crimper handles far
enough to hold it in place. To release the ratchet mechanism at any point after the first click,
squeeze the handles slightly and push the release lever, then let the handles open.
9. Insert one of the bare wires into the splice connector end that is in the crimper jaws. Push the
wire all the way into the splice connector, and
squeeze the crimper handles. Keep squeezing until the jaws touch, and hold it at that position until
the ratchet clicks again.
10. Crimp the other wire in the same way into the other end of the splice connector.
11. After crimping, gently pull on the wires in the opposite directions to make sure they are secure
in the connector.
12. Separate the other wires in the harness from the repaired wire(s), and shield them with
nonflammable material.
Page 9656
8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the way into the
connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fir of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

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

SRS Unit, Front Sensors and Side Impact Sensors
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front sensors, or the side impact sensors whenever
the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 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, front sensors, and the side impact sensor. The airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt tensioners were deployed, replace the SRS unit,
front sensors, and other related components. After a collision in which a side airbag was deployed,
replace the side impact sensor on the deployed side 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, front sensors, 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 3 minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting 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 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.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 °G) and dry (less
than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
Alignment: All Technical Service Bulletins Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
9. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap each rear tire back to the front, one at a time, and test-drive
the vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Replace the bad tire, then return the vehicle to your
customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec after swapping the front and rear tires, go to step 10.
10. Test-drive a known-good donor vehicle on the same road you used earlier, and check its pull.
11. Swap all four tires from the donor vehicle with the tires on your customer¡C■s vehicle.
Page 8554
2. Clean the grooves in the front bumper and the air spoiler with isopropyl alcohol.
3. Apply a small bead (3 to 5 mm) of 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive in the groove in the front bumper
air spoiler.
4. Install the front bumper air spoiler to the bumper.
5. Install the four spoiler plates and the two push clips.
6. Install the four bolts, and torque them to 9.8 N.m (7.2 lb-ft).
7. Clean any excessive adhesive from the front bumper air spoiler.

7. Apply a small amount of Permalube grease to the base of the new lever. Then attach the slide
hammer to the new lever pin, insert the lever into the
ignition switch, and seat the pin with the slide hammer.
8. Check the installed height of the pin with vernier calipers. If the height is more than 5.0 mm, the
pin is not seated. If needed, reattach the slide
hammer, and seat the pin.
NOTE:
It's normal for the interlock lever to be loose, even when the pin is fully seated.
9. Install a new spring on the lever. Make sure you attach the ends of the spring correctly:
^ The right end goes into the slot on the ignition switch.
Electrical - Battery Replacement Precautions
Battery Cable: Technical Service Bulletins Electrical - Battery Replacement Precautions
Replacing a Battery? Don't Disconnect the Cables
With the
Engine Running
When replacing a battery, many service techs disconnect the battery cables with the engine
running to keep the data alive in volatile memory. This practice worked fine back in the day when
vehicles were pretty much a box on wheels, but with so many of today's vehicles sporting a
impressive array of cool, high tech hardware, it's not recommended. Here's why:
^ The battery works as a capacitor to prevent sudden swings in voltage. With the battery cables
disconnected, the alternator voltage regulator tries to
stabilize the system voltage, but it can only do so by turning the alternator on and off.
^ When solenoids or relays are turned on and of{ they produce a very high voltage spike that
travels through the 12-volt system. This voltage spike can
fry sensitive solid state components or corrupt the data that's stored in volatile memory for such
components as the gauge control module, the radio, and the various control units.
The best way to keep data alive in volatile memory when replacing a battery is to hook up a Honda
Computer Memory Saver to the 16P data link connector (DLC). This portable tool works as a
secondary 12-volt source. It saves you the hassle of writing down your customer's audio presets,
resetting the clock, or even doing the idle learn procedure.

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

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners. 3. The charges must
ignite and deploy the tensioners.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. A front impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. Aside impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally. If the
indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

General Troubleshooting Information
Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

ATF Level Check
NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission.
1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on). 2. Park the
vehicle on level ground, and turn the engine off.
3. Remove the dipstick (yellow loop) (A) from the transmission, and wipe it with a clean cloth. 4.
Insert the dipstick into the transmission.
5. Remove the dipstick and check the fluid level within 60 - 90 seconds after the engine is turned
off. The dipstick should read between the upper
mark (A) and the lower mark (B) on the HOT side of the gauge (C). Do not check the level on the
COLD side of the gauge (D) when the ATF warmed up.
NOTE: Some dipsticks have only the HOT gauge, in which case they might or might not have HOT
stamped into the dipstick.
6. If the level is below the lower mark (B), check for fluid leaks at the transmission, hose and line
joints, and cooler lines. 7. If the level exceeds the upper mark (A), drain the fluid for proper level. 8.
Pour the recommended fluid into the dipstick hole to bring it to upper mark. Always use Honda
ATF-Z1 Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).
Using non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
9. Insert the dipstick back into the transmission.

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

1. 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.

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.

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

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 Locater)
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.

Seats With Side Airbags
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Seats With Side Airbags
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to the seat-back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat
manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.
Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad.
Confirm the indication when you exchange these parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
definitely deformed, it must be replaced.
Page 5126
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
The TP sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle valve shaft. As the throttle position
changes, the sensor varies the signal voltage to the ECM/PCM. The TP sensor is not replaceable
apart from the throttle body.
Page 9035
Circuit Diagram
Page 9017
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
Page 8305
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

October 1, 2010
Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Safety Recall: Accord, Civic, and Element Ignition Switch Key Interlock
BACKGROUND
Under certain conditions, the interlock lever of the ignition switch may unexpectedly deform. The
interlock ensures the transmission is in Park before the ignition key can be removed. Interlock
failure may allow the ignition key to be removed when the shift lever is not in Park. If the driver fails
to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Not all vehicles within the VIN ranges are affected by this recall. Before beginning work on a
vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.

(Not interchangeable with CR-V and S2000 remote transmitter)
Transmitter Identification
The transmitter for the 1995-99 Accord and the 2000-02 Accord look identical, but they are not
interchangeable. The 1995-99 transmitter works the doors of a 2000-02 Accord, but it does not
open the trunk. If you are not sure which transmitter you have, press and hold the trunk release
button while looking at the LED. The LED on the 1995-99 transmitter comes on in about 1.1
seconds. The LED on the 2000-02 transmitter comes on in about 0.5 second.
Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
Out of warranty: Any repairs to the SRS system for problems other than the 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3
DTCs that are done after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by the
District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request consideration, and get a
decision, before starting work.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
^ When you check for SRS DTCs with the HDS, codes other than 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3 are not
covered by this warranty extension bulletin.
^ If the vehicle is covered by warranty, repair it using the normal warranty repair procedures. If the
vehicle's warranty is expired, give your customer an estimate for the cost of the repair.
Do the appropriate inspection, based on the DTC.
SRS DTC 15-1
Clear the DTC with the HDS.
^ If DTC 15-1 does not set again, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
^ If DTC 15-1 sets again, continue with normal troubleshooting.
^ If the OPDS unit causes DTC 15-1 to set repeatedly, yet passes the other troubleshooting steps,
go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
SRS DTC 15-2
1. Inspect the connections and the wiring in the side airbag cutoff indicator circuit.
^ If all the connections and the wiring are OK, go to step 2.
^ If any of the connections or the wiring are faulty, repair the circuit, then go to step 2.
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
^ If DTC 15-2 does not set again, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
^ If DTC 15-2 sets again, continue with normal troubleshooting.
^ If the OPDS unit causes DTC 15-2 to set repeatedly, yet passes the other troubleshooting steps,
go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
SRS DTC 15-3
1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
^ If DTC 15-3 does not set again, go to step 2.
^ If DTC 15-3 sets again, continue with normal troubleshooting.
2. Ask your customer if electrical devices such as a laptop computer or a fluorescent map light are
ever used near the front passenger's seat-back. (Some electrical devices that plug into the
vehicle's accessory power socket, especially those using a power inverter/converter, can interfere
with the seat-back sensors and cause SRS DTC 15-3 to set.)
^ If your customer uses any of these devices operate the device near the front passenger's
seat-back. If DTC 15-3 sets again, clear it, then return the vehicle to the customer. Advise the
customer to avoid using the device near the front passenger's seat-back.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.
EXAMPLE B:
Page 3209
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop
Page 3153
8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the way into the
connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

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

Testing and Inspection
Vacuum Brake Booster: Testing and Inspection
Brake Booster Test
Functional Test 1. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal several times to deplete the
vacuum reservoir, then press the pedal hard and hold it for 15 seconds.
If the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is bypassing internally, or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator, proportioning valve, calipers, or wheel cylinders) is leaking.
2. Start the engine with the brake pedal pressed. If the pedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is
operating normally. If the pedal height does not
vary, the booster or check valve is faulty.
3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal lightly. If the brake pedal sinks more than 10 mm
(3/8 inch) in 3 minutes, the master cylinder is
faulty. A slight change in pedal height when the A/C compressor cycles on and off is normal. (The
A/C compressor load changes the vacuum available to the booster.)
Leak Test 1. Press the brake pedal with the engine running, then stop the engine. If the pedal
height does not vary while pressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum
booster is OK. If the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 30 seconds. Press the brake pedal several times using normal
pressure. When the pedal is first pressed, it should be
low. On consecutive applications, the pedal height should gradually rise. If the pedal position does
not vary, check the booster check valve.
3. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose (check valve built-in) (A) at the booster (B) side. 4.
Start the engine, and let it idle. There should be vacuum available. If no vacuum is available, the
check valve is not working properly. Replace the
brake booster vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.
5. Start the engine, and then pinch the brake booster vacuum hose between the check valve and
the booster. 6. Turn the engine off and wait 30 seconds. Press the brake pedal several times using
normal pressure. When the pedal is first pressed, it should be
low. On consecutive applications, the pedal height should gradually rise. ^
If the pedal position does not vary, replace the brake booster.
^ If the pedal position varies, replace the brake booster vacuum hose/check valve assembly.

8. Reassemble the transmission; see page 13-43 (13-59 for Hybrid) of the service manual.
9. Install the new shift fork holder. Check the reverse shift fork clearance; see page 13-19 (13-34
for Hybrid) of the service manual.
10. Reinstall the transmission; see page 13-9 (13-23 for Hybrid) of the service manual.
11. Fill the transmission with MTF.
12. * Test-drive the car; make several right turns (left turns for Hybrid), and check that the clicking
noise is gone.*

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

9. Open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the original key with its flat side down into the center
jaw up to the key stop. Slide the key blank with its flat side down into the right jaw up to the key
stop. Close the jaws with the jaws knob to lock the keys into place. Visually inspect both keys for
proper alignment in the jaws.
10. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage. With the clamp
carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)

October 1, 2010
Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Safety Recall: Accord, Civic, and Element Ignition Switch Key Interlock
BACKGROUND
Under certain conditions, the interlock lever of the ignition switch may unexpectedly deform. The
interlock ensures the transmission is in Park before the ignition key can be removed. Interlock
failure may allow the ignition key to be removed when the shift lever is not in Park. If the driver fails
to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Not all vehicles within the VIN ranges are affected by this recall. Before beginning work on a
vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
Page 8766
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.

the [A position. There should be about 5 V in any other shift lever position. If your test results are
different, check for a faulty transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
8. Check for voltage between B17 terminal (YEL) and ground with the ignition switch ON (II). There
should be battery voltage. If your test results
are different, check for a blown No. 10 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box or an open in
the wire.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and check for continuity between B16 terminal (BLK) and ground
under all conditions. There should be continuity.
If your test results are different, check for a poor ground (G501) or an open in the wire.

- If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
- If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.
Page 2168
8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the way into the
connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.
Page 2541
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run

Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, or the DVOM

Idle Speed: Description and Operation
Idle Control System
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is
pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls
current to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to maintain the correct idle speed. Refer to the System
Diagram to see the functional layout of the system.
Idle Control System Diagram
The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the idle air control (IAC) valve:
- After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain amount of time. The amount of air is
increased to raise the idle speed.
- When the engine coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle
speed. The amount of bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*

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
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.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

stop. Close the jaws with the jaws knob to lock the keys into place. Visually inspect both keys for
proper alignment in the jaws.
10. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage. With the clamp
carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.

Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

A/T - Avoiding Fluid Contamination
Fluid - CVT: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Avoiding Fluid Contamination
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Avoiding Comebacks From A/T Contamination
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
Installing a reman A/T? Here are some important tips to keep in mind to ensure a first-time fix and
to avoid any come-backs:
- If the vehicle has an ATF cooler, make sure you clean the cooler with the ATF Cooler Cleaner
(P/N GHTTTCF6H). See S/B 89-022, ATF Cooler Cleaner, for details.
- If the reman A/T kit includes an in-line filter, don't forget to install it. If the vehicle already has an
in-line filter from an earlier A/T replacement, then remove the existing filter, and install the new one.
- Spray the driveshaft splines with solvent and compressed air before installing them in the reman
A/T. If the failed A/T had a speed sensor, make sure it's clean before you install it. Debris from the
failed A/T can catch in the driveshaft splines or on the speed sensor and contaminate the reman
A/T.
- If the reman A/T comes with a heater/cooler, make sure you install the reman A/T with that
heater/cooler. Never install the heater/cooler from the failed A/T; you could contaminate the reman
A/T.
Page 165
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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).
Cutting Procedure - By Code
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it to the right until the
bottom left side is flush with the base edge. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in
place. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage.
Page 5929
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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 Locater)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

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

How to Tell a Bad FTP Sensor From an EVAP Leak
Troubleshooting a '01-05 Civic with DTC P0497 (EVAP system low purge flow)? When the fuel
tank pressure (FTP) sensor doesn't respond to vacuum testing, it's really easy to think you've got a
leak in the FVAP system. Here's an simple way to tell if the problem is just a bad FTP sensor or an
actual system leak:
1. Connect the HDS to the 16P DLC. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Turn on the HDS. 2. At the
screen prompts, enter the VIN (if you're asked)
and the odometer reading.
3. From the Select Mode screen, select Honda Systems. From the System Selection Menu, select
PGM-FI. From the Mode Menu, select All Data List.
4. Disconnect the two FTP sensor vacuum lines. Look at the FTP Sensor value on the display
screen.
^ If the value reads between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, go to step 6.
^ If the value doesn't read between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, check the electrical connections. If you find
any problems, fix them, then go to step 5. If the
circuits are OK, replace the FTP sensor, then go to step 5.
5. Look at the FTP Sensor value on the display screen.
^ If the value now reads between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, reconnect the vacuum lines and disconnect
the HDS. Return the vehicle to your customer.
^ If the value still doesn't read between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, go to step 6.
6. Connect a vacuum pump to the larger FTP sensor hose (the smaller hose is the FTP vent)
Slowly squeeze the pump handle to pull a vacuum on the
FTP sensor. Look at the sensor value on the display screen.
^ If the value changes, continue troubleshooting for DTC P0497.
^ If the value stays the same, the FTP sensor has a leak. Replace the sensor.

Seats With Side Airbags
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Seats With Side Airbags
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to the seat-back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat
manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.
Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad.
Confirm the indication when you exchange these parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
definitely deformed, it must be replaced.

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

Door and Bumper Reinforcement Beams
Door and bumper reinforcement beams used on Honda vehicles are made from a metal equivalent
to High Strength Steel.
If High Strength Steel is heated, the strength of the steel will be reduced. If High Strength Steel is
damaged, as in a vehicle accident, where the door and bumper reinforcement beams are bent, the
beams may crack if an attempt is made to straighten them.
For this reason, door and bumper reinforcement beams should NEVER be repaired; they should be
replaced if they are damaged.
NOTE: If a door beam is damaged, the whole door panel assembly should be replaced.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Page 7811
19. Using your thumb and forefinger to hold the tumblers, remove the key from the inner cylinder,
being careful not to drop any tumblers and springs.
20. *Using the key code from the iN that you have written down at step 2, build a new inner cylinder
with new springs, new cylinder, and tumblers from the door lock cylinder kit. Make sure you put the
appropriate numbered tumbler in the proper inner cylinder cavity. Apply a thin layer of Permalube
to each tumbler to help lubricate and retain it.*
NOTE:
^ There are two types of tumblers. The "SUBLOCK" tumbler goes only in cavity A." The "DISC"
tumbler goes in cavities "B" through "J."
^ Cavity "E" is empty on all cylinders.

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.

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. 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.

^ Going from front to back, use the middle lock pin to set the first cam to the appropriate key code
number in the code book. (The cam is properly set when the number on the cam lines up with the
red scribe mark on the clamp unit.)
^ Slide the lock pin through the notch in the cam. (This locks the cam in place.)
^ Keep doing this for each of the remaining cams in the set until all the cams are set and locked,
then push the lock pin all the way in.
Repeat this process to set and lock the cams for the right cam set.
NOTE:
Make sure you set the MIS cam in the right cam set for the type of key you are cutting. For a
master key, set the cam to M; for a valet key, set it to S.
When you are done, push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams in the left cam set.
10. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the right

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
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.

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

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

Refrigerant: Service and Repair System Evacuation
System Evacuation
CAUTION:
- Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
- Be careful when connecting service equipment.
- Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE
J221 0 to remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioning system.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant
manufacturers.
1. When an A/C system has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair,
it must be evacuated using a R-134a refrigerant
recovery/recycling/charging station (If the system has been open for several days, the
receiver/dryer should be replaced, and the system should be evacuated for several hours.)
2. Connect a R-134a refrigerant recovery/recycling/charging station (A) to the high-pressure
service port (B) and the low-pressure service port (C),
as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions. Evacuate the system.
3. If the low-pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 15 minutes,
there is probably a leak in the system. Partially
charge the system, and check for leaks.
Page 7948
- Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags, such as measuring resistance.
- Do not position yourself in front of the airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or
replacement.
- Refer to the scrapping procedures for disposal of the damaged airbag.
General Precautions
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.

How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from

How to Tell a Bad FTP Sensor From an EVAP Leak
Troubleshooting a '01-05 Civic with DTC P0497 (EVAP system low purge flow)? When the fuel
tank pressure (FTP) sensor doesn't respond to vacuum testing, it's really easy to think you've got a
leak in the FVAP system. Here's an simple way to tell if the problem is just a bad FTP sensor or an
actual system leak:
1. Connect the HDS to the 16P DLC. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Turn on the HDS. 2. At the
screen prompts, enter the VIN (if you're asked)
and the odometer reading.
3. From the Select Mode screen, select Honda Systems. From the System Selection Menu, select
PGM-FI. From the Mode Menu, select All Data List.
4. Disconnect the two FTP sensor vacuum lines. Look at the FTP Sensor value on the display
screen.
^ If the value reads between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, go to step 6.
^ If the value doesn't read between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, check the electrical connections. If you find
any problems, fix them, then go to step 5. If the
circuits are OK, replace the FTP sensor, then go to step 5.
5. Look at the FTP Sensor value on the display screen.
^ If the value now reads between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, reconnect the vacuum lines and disconnect
the HDS. Return the vehicle to your customer.
^ If the value still doesn't read between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, go to step 6.
6. Connect a vacuum pump to the larger FTP sensor hose (the smaller hose is the FTP vent)
Slowly squeeze the pump handle to pull a vacuum on the
FTP sensor. Look at the sensor value on the display screen.
^ If the value changes, continue troubleshooting for DTC P0497.
^ If the value stays the same, the FTP sensor has a leak. Replace the sensor.

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. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

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

Page 6144
Alignment: Service and Repair
Wheel Alignment
The suspension can be adjusted for front camber, front toe, and rear toe. However, each of these
adjustments are interrelated to each other. For example, when you adjust toe, the camber
changes. Therefore, you must adjust the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber or toe.
Pre-Alignment Checks For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these
checks: 1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement. 2. Make sure the
suspension is not modified. 3. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
Tire size: Front/rear: P185/70R14 87S P185/65R15 86H P195/60R15 87H Tire pressure:
Front/rear:210 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm2, 30 psi)
4. Check the runout of the wheels and tires.
5. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands, and move it up and down and
right and left to check for wobbling). 6. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilize
the suspension.
Front Caster Inspection Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment
to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equipment
manufacturer's instructions. Check the caster angle. If the caster angle is not within the
specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components. Front caster angle:
1°33' ± 1° for '01-02 models 2°14' ± 1° for '03-04 models
Front Camber Inspection Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment
equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions. Check the camber angle. If the camber angle is not within
the specification, adjust the camber. Front camber angle: 0°00' ± 45'
Front Camber Adjustment
The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or both of the damper pinch bolts with the
smaller diameter adjusting bolt(s). The difference between the adjusting bolt diameter and the
pinch bolt hole diameter allows a small range of adjustment.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.

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

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.

7. Apply a small amount of Permalube grease to the base of the new lever. Then attach the slide
hammer to the new lever pin, insert the lever into the
ignition switch, and seat the pin with the slide hammer.
8. Check the installed height of the pin with vernier calipers. If the height is more than 5.0 mm, the
pin is not seated. If needed, reattach the slide
hammer, and seat the pin.
NOTE:
It's normal for the interlock lever to be loose, even when the pin is fully seated.
9. Install a new spring on the lever. Make sure you attach the ends of the spring correctly:
^ The right end goes into the slot on the ignition switch.
Page 9207
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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

2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or 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.

3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from
the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former.
5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
- If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
- If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Alarm Module: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The immobilizer system is designed to prevent the car from being started without the owner's
ignition key. If an attempt is made to Start the car with any other key, the immobilizer system will
disable the car's fuel supply.
The immobilizer system consists of the ignition key, immobilizer control unit-receiver, immobilizer
indicator light, PGM-FI main relays, injector relay (GX), fuel pump (except GX), fuel tank internal
solenoid valve (GX), and the ECM/PCM.
With the ignition switch in ON (II) or START (III), the immobilizer control unit-receiver and the
ECM/PCM receive an "ignition on" signal through fuse 6 and the PGM-FI main relay 1. The
ECM/PCM then sends power to the ignition key transponder through the immobilizer control
unit-receiver. The transponder then sends a coded signal back to the ECM/PCM through the
receiver. If the signal is correct, the ECM/PCM will energize the car's fuel supply system by
grounding the PGM-FI main relay 2 (except GX) or injector relay (GX). The immobilizer indicator
light flashes a code to indicate that the correct key has been inserted. If the ignition key signal is
not correct, the ECM/PCM will not energize the car's fuel supply system by not grounding the
PGM-FI main relay 2 (except GX) or injector relay (GX). The immobilizer indicator light then flashes
a code to indicate that an incorrect key has been inserted.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair Air Bag Disarming and Arming
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.

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

Idle Speed: Description and Operation
Idle Control System
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is
pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls
current to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to maintain the correct idle speed. Refer to the System
Diagram to see the functional layout of the system.
Idle Control System Diagram
The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the idle air control (IAC) valve:
- After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain amount of time. The amount of air is
increased to raise the idle speed.
- When the engine coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle
speed. The amount of bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature.
Page 2826
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Page 4980
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
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.

ECM/PCM Inputs And Outputs At Connector C (22P)
Primary Oxygen Sensor
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Primary Oxygen Sensor
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (D17A1, D17A2 engines)
The primary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends signals to the
ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor
has an internal heater. The primary HO2S is installed in the three way catalytic converter (TWC)
(D17A1 engine) or in the exhaust manifold (D17A2 engine). By controlling the air fuel ratio with
primary HO2S and secondary HO2S, the deterioration of the primary HO2S can be evaluated by its
feedback period. When the feedback period exceeds a certain value during stable driving
conditions, the sensor is considered deteriorated and the ECM/PCM sets a DTC.

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

Page 1755
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
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.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is CR2025. Each transmitter uses one battery.
94-95 Passport (Except 1995-1/2)
1994-95 Passport (except 19951A) with dealer-installed security system
NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to four transmitters. If you program a
fifth transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter four times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only four transmitters can be
accepted.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal

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

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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

Description and Operation
Rear Bumper: Description and Operation
Door and Bumper Reinforcement Beams
Door and bumper reinforcement beams used on Honda vehicles are made from a metal equivalent
to High Strength Steel.
If High Strength Steel is heated, the strength of the steel will be reduced. If High Strength Steel is
damaged, as in a vehicle accident, where the door and bumper reinforcement beams are bent, the
beams may crack if an attempt is made to straighten them.
For this reason, door and bumper reinforcement beams should NEVER be repaired; they should be
replaced if they are damaged.
NOTE: If a door beam is damaged, the whole door panel assembly should be replaced.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

button while looking at the LED. The LED on the 1995-99 transmitter comes on in about 1.1
seconds. The LED on the 2000-02 transmitter comes on in about 0.5 second.
Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Page 5251
1. Remove the secondary lock from the male terminal half.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

- Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks (A).
- Slip pliers (A) under the clip base and through the hole at an angle, then squeeze the expansion
tabs to release the clip.
- After installing harness clips, make sure the harness doesn't interfere with any moving parts.
- Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets
and holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
- Seat grommets in their grooves properly (A). Do not leave grommets distorted (B).
Testing and Repairs
- Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation. Replace them or repair them by wrapping
the break with electrical tape.
- After installing parts, make sure that no wires are pinched under them.
- When using electrical test equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions and those described.
- If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the wire side (except waterproof connector).
- Use back probe adaptor 07TAZ-001020A.
- Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for identification and replacement of connector
terminals.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

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
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.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Crankshaft Main Bearing: Service and Repair
Main Bearing Clearance Inspection
1. To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance, remove the main caps and bearing halves. 2.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a clean shop towel. 3. Place one strip of plastigage
across each main journal.
NOTE: If the engine is still in the car when you bolt the main cap down to check the clearance, the
weight of the crankshaft and drive plate will flatten the plastigage further than just the torque on the
cap bolt and give you an incorrect reading. For an accurate reading, support the crank with a jack
under the counterweights, and check only one bearing at a time.
4. Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the bolts to 51 Nm (5.2 kgf-cm, 38 ft. lbs.). Do not
rotate the crankshaft.
5. Remove the cap and bearing half, and measure the widest part of the plastigage.
Main Bearing-to-Journal Oil Clearance Standard (New): No.1, 5: 0.018 - 0.036mm (0.0007 - 0.0014
inch) No.2, 3, 4: 0.024 - 0.042mm (0.0009 - 0.0017 inch) Service Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
6. If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, (remove the engine if it's still in the car),
remove the crankshaft, and remove the upper half of
the bearing. Install a new, complete bearing with the same color code, and recheck the clearance.
Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
7. If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below that one), and check
again. If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.

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

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

proper alignment in the jaws.
10. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage. With the clamp
carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.

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

Page 1676
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
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.

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

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fir of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

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.

12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).
Cutting Procedure - By Code

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Ignition Keys Gets Warm While Driving
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Ignition Key Gets Warm While Driving
APPLIES TO: 2003 Accords, 2001-03 Civics, 2002-03 CR-Vs
SERVICE TIP: Are owners of complaining of the ignition key getting warm while driving? The key
interlock solenoid in the ignition switch is the likely culprit. This solenoid is energized anytime the
shift lever isn't in Park, so the heat from the solenoid gets transferred to the ignition key. This is a
normal characteristic of the vehicle, and can't be fixed by replacing the key interlock solenoid, the
ignition lockset, or any other component.

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

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.

Page 1072
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
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.

A/T - ATF Cooler Cleaner Information
Transmission Cooler: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - ATF Cooler Cleaner Information
Use Worm-Style Clamps With the ATF Cooler Cleaner
The spring-style clamps used on the ATF cooler lines are made to hold the cooler lines to the ATF
cooler under normal operating conditions. The ATF Cooler Cleaner (P/N GHTTTCF6H) uses high
pressure (100 psi) to do its job. With the pump motor running, the spring-style clamps can walk off
or disconnect, and you'll wind up with a real mess to clean up in your shop.
In March of this year, we sent each Honda dealership a pair of high-quality worm-style clamps to
replace the original spring-style clamps. These clamps were part of a cooler cleaner update kit, and
securely hold the cooler line in place. They've got a blue cap for easy identification. Need some
more? Just call G-TFC, Inc.
Page 9401
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.

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.

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

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used 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 (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag
(C), the front passenger's airbag (D), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and
front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.
This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines
whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase
the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt
and buckle firmly to secure the occupants in their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OPDS). This system
consists of sensors (G) and a OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit
sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit. If the OPDS unit determines that the front
passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the front passenger is leaning into the side
airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger's side airbag. The
SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the seat. When the
side airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that
the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the
passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the
driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a side impact.
Page 8761
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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions

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

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners. 3. The charges must
ignite and deploy the tensioners.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. A front impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. Aside impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally. If the
indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

- Before connecting connectors, make sure the terminals (A) are in place and not bent.
- Check for loose retainer (A) and rubber seals (B).
- The backs of some connectors are packed with dielectric grease. Add grease if necessary. If the
grease is contaminated, replace it.
- Insert the connector all the way and make sure it is securely locked.
- Position wires so that the open end of the cover faces down.
Handling Wires and Harnesses
- Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with their respective wire ties at the designated
locations.
Page 2528
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
Page 2155
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop
Page 2827
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
Page 9318
8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the way into the
connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from

accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt tensioners were deployed, replace the SRS unit,
front sensors, and other related components. After a collision in which a side airbag was deployed,
replace the side impact sensor on the deployed side 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, front sensors, 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 3 minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting 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 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft)
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors, and keep them away from dust.

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.

3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from
the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former.
5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
- If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
- If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

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.

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.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
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.

Programming the Transmitter
1. Locate the security system control unit under the driver's seat.
2. Rub your finger over the label on the top of the control unit until you find the depression. Once
you find it, push your finger through the label to expose the hole underneath. Inside the hole is a
square, yellow button; this is the programming button.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON, then turn it to LOCK.
4. Press and hold the programming button. Check that the security siren emits four separate chirps
followed by a five-chirp burst. This confirms that the system is in programming mode. The siren
then emits prompting chirps at 3-second intervals.
5. Release the programming button.
6. After a prompting chirp, press the "LOCK" button on the transmitter. Verify that the siren emits a
confirmation chirp to confirm that the transmitter's code was accepted by the control unit. If you
wait more than 30 seconds after the prompting chirp before programming a transmitter, or wait
more than 30 seconds between programming transmitters, the siren emits three chirps and the
system exits the programming mode.
7. To program additional transmitters, wait for another prompting chirp, then press the "LOCK"
button. (You can program up to four transmitters per vehicle.)
8. To exit the programming mode, turn the ignition switch to ON, then turn it to LOCK.
9. Test all the transmitters.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.

- This readiness code is always set to available because misfiring is continuously monitored.
- Monitoring pauses, and the misfire counter resets, if the vehicle is driven over a rough road.
- Monitoring also pauses, and the misfire counter holds at its current value, if the throttle position
changes more than a predetermined value, or if driving conditions fall outside the range of any
related enable criteria.
Fuel System Monitor and Readiness Code
- This readiness code is always set to available because the fuel system is continuously monitored
during closed loop operation.
- Monitoring pauses when the catalytic converter, EVAP control system, and A/F sensor monitors
are active.
- Monitoring also pauses when any related enable criteria are not being met. Monitoring resumes
when the enable criteria is again being met.

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.
EXAMPLE B:
Description and Operation
Fuel Cut Control Unit: Description and Operation
Fuel Cut-off Control
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel
economy at speeds over 850 rpm.
Fuel cut-off action also occurs when engine speed exceeds 6,900 rpm, regardless of the position of
the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. With A/T model, when the vehicle is
stopped, the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm.

How to Tell a Bad FTP Sensor From an EVAP Leak
Troubleshooting a '01-05 Civic with DTC P0497 (EVAP system low purge flow)? When the fuel
tank pressure (FTP) sensor doesn't respond to vacuum testing, it's really easy to think you've got a
leak in the FVAP system. Here's an simple way to tell if the problem is just a bad FTP sensor or an
actual system leak:
1. Connect the HDS to the 16P DLC. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Turn on the HDS. 2. At the
screen prompts, enter the VIN (if you're asked)
and the odometer reading.
3. From the Select Mode screen, select Honda Systems. From the System Selection Menu, select
PGM-FI. From the Mode Menu, select All Data List.
4. Disconnect the two FTP sensor vacuum lines. Look at the FTP Sensor value on the display
screen.
^ If the value reads between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, go to step 6.
^ If the value doesn't read between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, check the electrical connections. If you find
any problems, fix them, then go to step 5. If the
circuits are OK, replace the FTP sensor, then go to step 5.
5. Look at the FTP Sensor value on the display screen.
^ If the value now reads between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, reconnect the vacuum lines and disconnect
the HDS. Return the vehicle to your customer.
^ If the value still doesn't read between 2.45 and 2.55 volts, go to step 6.
6. Connect a vacuum pump to the larger FTP sensor hose (the smaller hose is the FTP vent)
Slowly squeeze the pump handle to pull a vacuum on the
FTP sensor. Look at the sensor value on the display screen.
^ If the value changes, continue troubleshooting for DTC P0497.
^ If the value stays the same, the FTP sensor has a leak. Replace the sensor.

9. Open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the original key with its flat side down into the center
jaw up to the key stop. Slide the key blank with its flat side down into the right jaw up to the key
stop. Close the jaws with the jaws knob to lock the keys into place. Visually inspect both keys for
proper alignment in the jaws.
10. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage. With the clamp
carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)

Fuel Gauge & Low Fuel Indicator Accuracy Check
Fuel Gauge: All Technical Service Bulletins Fuel Gauge & Low Fuel Indicator Accuracy Check
SOURCE: Honda Service News March 2003
TITLE: Charting the Fuel Gauge and the Low Fuel Indicator
APPLIES TO: 1998-03 Accord, 1996-03 Civic, or 1999-03 Odyssey
SERVICE TIP: If an owner is leery of the fuel gauge or low fuel indicator accuracy and worries
about running out of fuel, you may be able to restore faith in the accuracy of this hardware by
charting the operation.
If the fuel gauge, the low fuel indicator, or both doesn't give your customer a warm, fuzzy feeling,
don't replace the fuel gauge or the sending unit until you've first charted the fuel gauge needle
position and low fuel indicator status. You rarely improve accuracy by replacing fuel gauges and
sending units. To chart the fuel gauge needle position and the low fuel indicator status, do this:
1. Have your customer bring in the vehicle when the fuel tank is nearly empty.
2. Drain any remaining fuel from the tank.
3. Park the vehicle on a flat surface, and add 2 gallons of fuel to the tank with the ignition switch
turned to LOCK (0).
4. Start the engine, and note the fuel gauge needle position after 2 minutes. Draw a picture of the
fuel gauge showing the position of the needle. Also note on your drawing if the low fuel indicator is
on or off. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Add 2 more gallons of fuel to the tank. Start the engine, and note the position of the needle after
2 minutes. Draw another picture of the fuel gauge showing the current position of the needle. Note
the status of the low fuel indicator. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
6. Repeat step 5 until the fuel tank is full. Then give your customer all of the pictures you've drawn.
They're usually enough to convince even the staunchest Doubting Thomas.
Page 5557
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

Brake Pedal Position Switch
The brake pedal position switch signals the ECM/PCM when the brake pedal is pressed.
Page 8943
Odometer: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The indicators are controlled by relative conditions in their associated systems. For the following
indicators the information supplied to the gauge assembly is received via the multiplex control unit:
- Charging System
- Door Indicator Light
- Maintenance Required Indicator
- Seat Belt Reminder
- Trunk Indicator Light
Refer to each associated system to see its entire schematic.
Speedometer and Odometer
The odometer circuit drive and the speedometer are controlled by the CPU built-in the gauge
assembly. The CPU receives pulses from the vehicle speed sensor (except CVT) or PCM (CVT).
The pulse rate increases as the car accelerates. The frequency and duration of these input pulses
are measured by the CPU.
Page 8025
12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).
Cutting Procedure - By Code
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it to the right until the
bottom left side is flush with the base edge. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in
place. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage.
Service and Repair

Fuel Pressure Relieving
Before disconnecting fuel lines or hoses, relieve pressure from the system by disconnecting the
fuel tube/quick connect fitting in the engine compartment.
1. Make sure you have the antitheft code for the radio, then write down the frequencies for the
radio's preset buttons. 2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Remove the glove box, then remove the PGM-FI main relay 2 (A). 4. Start the engine, and let it
idle until it is stalls.
NOTE: The DTCs or Temporary DTCs P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304 may come on during this
procedure. If any DTCs are stored, ignore them.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 6. Remove the fuel fill cap to relieve fuel pressure in the fuel tank.
7. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
8. Remove the bolt (A) and the fuel feed pipe mounting bracket (B), then remove the quick-connect
fining covers (C). 9. Check the fuel quick-connect fitting for dirt, and clean if necessary.
10. Place a rag or shop towel over the quick-connect fitting (D).
Page 827
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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.

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

Brake Master Cylinder: Adjustments
Brake Booster Pushrod Clearance Adjustment
Special Tools Required Pushrod adjustment gauge 07JAG-SD40100
NOTE: Brake booster pushrod-to-piston clearance must be checked and adjustments made, if
necessary, before installing the master cylinder.
1. Set the special tool (A) on the master cylinder body (B), push in the center shaft (C) until the top
of it contacts the end of the secondary piston (D)
by turning the adjusting nut (E).
2. Without disturbing the center shaft's position, install the special tool (A) backwards on the
booster. 3. Install the master cylinder nuts (B), and tighten to the specified torque. 4. Connect the
booster in-line with a vacuum gauge (C) 0 - 101 kPa (0 - 760 mm Hg, 30 inch Hg) to the booster's
engine vacuum supply, and
maintain an engine speed that will deliver 66 kPa (500 mm Hg, 20 inch Hg) vacuum.
5. With a feeler gauge (A), measure the clearance between the gauge body and the adjusting nut
(B) as shown. If the clearance between the gauge
body and the adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 inch), the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0 mm.
However, if the clearance between the gauge body and the adjusting nut is 0 mm, the
pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm (0.02 inch) or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
rechecked. Clearance: 0 - 0.4 mm (0 - 0.0015 inch)

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System)
The side airbag system also includes an Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS). This
system consists of Sensors (G) and a OPDS Unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The
OPDS unit sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit.
If the SRS unit determines that the front passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the
front passenger is leaning into the side airbag deployment path, it will automatically disable the
airbag. The SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the
seat.
Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator
When the side airbag is disabled, the Side Airbag Cutoff Indicator on the instrument panel alerts
the driver that the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is
removed, or the passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off, alerting the
driver that the side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

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.
Primary Oxygen Sensor
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Primary Oxygen Sensor
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (D17A1, D17A2 engines)
The primary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends signals to the
ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor
has an internal heater. The primary HO2S is installed in the three way catalytic converter (TWC)
(D17A1 engine) or in the exhaust manifold (D17A2 engine). By controlling the air fuel ratio with
primary HO2S and secondary HO2S, the deterioration of the primary HO2S can be evaluated by its
feedback period. When the feedback period exceeds a certain value during stable driving
conditions, the sensor is considered deteriorated and the ECM/PCM sets a DTC.

- Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks (A).
- Slip pliers (A) under the clip base and through the hole at an angle, then squeeze the expansion
tabs to release the clip.
- After installing harness clips, make sure the harness doesn't interfere with any moving parts.
- Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets
and holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
- Seat grommets in their grooves properly (A). Do not leave grommets distorted (B).
Testing and Repairs
- Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation. Replace them or repair them by wrapping
the break with electrical tape.
- After installing parts, make sure that no wires are pinched under them.
- When using electrical test equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions and those described.
- If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the wire side (except waterproof connector).
- Use back probe adaptor 07TAZ-001020A.
- Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for identification and replacement of connector
terminals.

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.

Parking Brake Warning Switch: Testing and Inspection
Parking Brake Switch Test
1. Remove the console, and disconnect the connector (A) from the switch (B). 2. Check for
continuity between the positive terminal and body ground:
^ With the brake lever up, there should be continuity.
^ With the brake lever down, there should be no continuity.
Page 4231
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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

Service and Repair
Towing Information: Service and Repair
Towing
If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind
another vehicle with just a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.
Flat-bed Equipment - The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way of
transporting the vehicle.
To accommodate the flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with towing hooks (A) and tie
down slots (B).
The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down slots
can be used to secure the vehicle to truck.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear)
and lift them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground.
Sling-type Equipment - The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go
around parts of the frame or suspension and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground.
The vehicle's suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is
attempted.
If the vehicle cannot be transported by flat-bed, it should be towed with the front wheels off the
ground. If due to damage, the vehicle must be towed with the front wheels on the ground, do the
following:
Manual Transmission
- Release the parking brake.
- Shift the transmission in Neutral.
Automatic Transmission and CVT
- Release the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Shift to D position, then N position.

Brake Pedal - Click Or Pop When Depressed
Brake Pedal Assy: Technical Service Bulletins Brake Pedal - Click Or Pop When Depressed
SOURCE: Honda Service News November 2004
TITLE: Click or Pop When Pressing the Brake Pedal
APPLIES TO: 2003-04 Accord or 2001-05 Civic
SERVICE TIP: Got a 2003-04 Accord or 2001-05 Civic in your shop that clicks or pops when you
press the brake pedal? The culprit could be the brake pedal position switch. The switch plunger
doesn't fit squarely into the switch casing. When you press the brake pedal, the plunger rubs the
side of the casing and makes noise. There's a simple fix for this problem: Just turn the switch
around so the connector lock now faces the 5 o'clock position.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Programming the Transmitter
1. Locate the security system control unit under the driver's seat.
2. Rub your finger over the label on the top of the control unit until you find the depression. Once
you find it, push your finger through the label to expose the hole underneath. Inside the hole is a
square, yellow button; this is the programming button.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON, then turn it to LOCK.
4. Press and hold the programming button. Check that the security siren emits four separate chirps
followed by a five-chirp burst. This confirms that the system is in programming mode. The siren
then emits prompting chirps at 3-second intervals.
5. Release the programming button.
6. After a prompting chirp, press the "LOCK" button on the transmitter. Verify that the siren emits a
confirmation chirp to confirm that the transmitter's code was accepted by the control unit. If you
wait more than 30 seconds after the prompting chirp before programming a transmitter, or wait
more than 30 seconds between programming transmitters, the siren emits three chirps and the
system exits the programming mode.
7. To program additional transmitters, wait for another prompting chirp, then press the "LOCK"
button. (You can program up to four transmitters per vehicle.)
8. To exit the programming mode, turn the ignition switch to ON, then turn it to LOCK.

Tension: Used Belt: 390 - 540 N (40 - 55 kgf, 88 - 121 lbs.) New Belt: 740 - 880 N (75 - 90 kgf, 165
- 198 lbs.)
3. If you installed a new belt, run the engine for 5 minutes, then readjust the belt to the used belt
specification.
Adjustment
4. Loosen the power steering pump mounting nut (A.) and pump locknut (B). 5. Turn the adjusting
bolt (C) to get the proper belt tension, then retighten the mounting nut and locknut. 6. Start the
engine and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times, then stop the engine and
recheck the tension of the belt.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.
Adjustments
Cruise Control Servo Cable: Adjustments
Actuator Cable Adjustment
1. Check that the actuator cable (A) moves smoothly with no binding or sticking. 2. Measure the
amount of movement of the output linkage (B) until the engine speed starts to increase. At first, the
output linkage should be located
at the fully closed position (C). The free play (D) should be 3.75 ± 0.5 mm (0.15 ± 0.02 in.).
3. If the free play is not within specs, loosen the locknut, and turn the adjusting nut until the free
play is as specified, then retighten the locknut.
Page 4785
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop
Page 369
Page 1758
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.

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

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

7. Align the projections on the cable reel with the holes on the steering wheel, and install the
steering wheel with a new steering wheel bolt (A). 8. Install the driver's airbag. 9. Reconnect the
battery negative cable.
10. After installing the cable reel, confirm proper system operation:
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II); the SRS indicator should come on for about 6 seconds and then
go off.
- After the SRS indicator has turned off, turn the steering wheel fully left and right to confirm the
SRS indicator does not come on.
- Make sure the horn works.

Airbag Disposal
Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners
(including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
or seat belt buckle tensioners must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the
Honda District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result
of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme
caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying Airbags In the vehicle
If an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
and seat belt buckle tensioners should be deployed while still in the vehicle. The airbags, side
airbags, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners should not be considered as
salvageable parts and should never be installed in another vehicle.

brake disc.
- Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc and the inside of the wheel.
- Check the front wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.
Page 9643
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop
Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
Alignment: All Technical Service Bulletins Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
9. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap each rear tire back to the front, one at a time, and test-drive
the vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Replace the bad tire, then return the vehicle to your
customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec after swapping the front and rear tires, go to step 10.
10. Test-drive a known-good donor vehicle on the same road you used earlier, and check its pull.
11. Swap all four tires from the donor vehicle with the tires on your customer¡C■s vehicle.

Catalytic Converter: Description and Operation
Catalytic Converter System
NOX Adsorptive Three Way Catalyst (NOX Adsorptive TWC) (D17A6 engine)
The NOx adsorptive TWC absorbs NOx created during lean burn running when the oxygen
concentration is high. Then the engine is put into a richer running mode where the oxygen
concentration and NOx levels are low, and the absorbed NOx is released, keeping the average
NOx emissions low.
Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the
exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO2), dinitrogen (N2), and water vapor.

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

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

NOTE: The thermal protector will have no continuity above 252 to 262 °F (122 to 128 °C). When
the temperature drops below 241 to 219 °F (116 to 104 °C), the thermal protector will have
continuity.
5. Release the field coil connector from the holder, then disconnect it. Check resistance of the field
coil. If resistance is not within specifications,

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
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.

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

Idle Speed: Description and Operation
Idle Control System
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is
pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls
current to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to maintain the correct idle speed. Refer to the System
Diagram to see the functional layout of the system.
Idle Control System Diagram
The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the idle air control (IAC) valve:
- After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain amount of time. The amount of air is
increased to raise the idle speed.
- When the engine coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle
speed. The amount of bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature.

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.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is CR2025. Each transmitter uses one battery.

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

How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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

Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The indicators are controlled by relative conditions in their associated systems. For the following
indicators the information supplied to the gauge assembly is received via the multiplex control unit:
- Charging System
- Door Indicator Light
- Maintenance Required Indicator
- Seat Belt Reminder
- Trunk Indicator Light
Refer to each associated system to see its entire schematic.
Fuel Gauge and Low Fuel Indicator Light
WARNING: Do not smoke while working on the fuel system. Keep open flame away from the work
area. Drain fuel only into an approved container.
The fuel gauge and low fuel indicator light are controlled by the CPU built-in the gauge assembly.
The CPU receives fuel level information from the fuel gauge sending unit.
The fuel gauge sending unit's resistance varies from about 11 - 13 ohms at full to about 130 - 132
ohms at empty. The fuel level signals current changes with the varying resistance, which enables
the CPU to determine the level of the fuel. When the CPU determines that the fuel level is low, it
turns the low fuel indicator light on. When you turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), the gauge
returns to the bottom of the gauge dial regardless of the fuel level.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

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. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

3. Check for continuity between the terminals in each switch position according to the table. If the
continuity is not as specified, replace the
illumination bulbs (C) or the switch.
Page 9194
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
Page 7282
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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners. 3. The charges must
ignite and deploy the tensioners.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. A front impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. Aside impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally. If the
indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from
the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former.
5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
- If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
- If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

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
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.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

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.

SUMMARY: Honda is recalling certain model year 2003 Honda Accord, Civic two and four door,
and model year 2003-2004 Honda Element vehicles. The interlock lever of the ignition switch may
unexpectedly deform, which can allow the interlock function of a vehicle with an automatic
transmission to be defeated.
CONSEQUENCE: Removal of the ignition key when the gear selector of a vehicle with an
automatic transmission has not been shifted to the park position can allow the vehicle to roll away,
increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will remove the original interlock pin and lever within the ignition switch, and
replace them with newly, designed components. This service will be performed free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin on or about September 29, 2010. Owners may contact Honda at
1-800-999-1009.
NOTES: Honda safety recall No. R44. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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

Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Safety Recall: Accord, Civic, and Element Ignition Switch Key Interlock
BACKGROUND
Under certain conditions, the interlock lever of the ignition switch may unexpectedly deform. The
interlock ensures the transmission is in Park before the ignition key can be removed. Interlock
failure may allow the ignition key to be removed when the shift lever is not in Park. If the driver fails
to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

excessively.
5. Remove the brake drum (A), and remove the hub bearing unit (B) from the spindle. If the brake
drum has stuck to the hub bearing unit, pull them
out together. Do not tap on the aluminum brake drum.
6. Install the hub bearing unit in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.
- Before installing the brake drum, clean the mating surface of the hub and the inside of the brake
drum.
- Use a new spindle nut on reassembly.
- Before installing the spindle nut, apply a small amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the
nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the spindle nut shoulder against the spindle.

Wires
Primary Oxygen Sensor
Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Primary Oxygen Sensor
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (D17A1, D17A2 engines)
The primary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends signals to the
ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor
has an internal heater. The primary HO2S is installed in the three way catalytic converter (TWC)
(D17A1 engine) or in the exhaust manifold (D17A2 engine). By controlling the air fuel ratio with
primary HO2S and secondary HO2S, the deterioration of the primary HO2S can be evaluated by its
feedback period. When the feedback period exceeds a certain value during stable driving
conditions, the sensor is considered deteriorated and the ECM/PCM sets a DTC.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contact less type. As the gear purser teeth rotate past the
wheel sensor's magnetic coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance
with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby
detects the wheel speed.
When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the outlet valve opens momentarily
to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is
restored, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.

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

Body Control Systems: Description and Operation
System Descriptions
The Multiplex Control System has four internal functions:
- Multiplexing (send multiple signals over shared wires)
- Wake up/sleep (runs at full power only on demand to reduce battery draw)
- Fail-safe (fixes or ignores faulty signals)
- Self-diagnosis (Mode 1 for the system. Mode 2 for input lines)
The system controls the function of these circuits:
- Entry light control (ignition key light and ceiling light)
- Wiper/washer (including intermittent wipe and park functions)
- Interlock system
- Keyless/power Door Lock
- Key-in reminder
- Meter assembly, temperature gauge, and indicator lights
- HVAC (compressor and fan control)
Multiplex Communication
To reduce the number of wire harnesses, digital signals are sent via shared multiplex
communication lines rather than sending normal electrical signals through individual wires.
- The input signals from each switch are converted to digital signals at the central processing unit
(CPU).
- The digital signals are sent from the transmitting unit to the receiving unit as serial signals.
- The transmitted signal is converted to a switch signal at the receiving unit, and it operates the
related component or monitors a switch.
- There are exclusive communication lines between the ECM/PCM, the gauge assembly, and the
under-dash fuse/relay box,
Wake-up and Sleep
The multiplex control system has "wake-up" and "sleep" functions to decrease parasitic draw on
the battery when the ignition switch is OFF.
- In the sleep mode, the multiplex control unit stops functioning (communication and CPU control)
when it is not necessary for the system to operate.
- As soon as any operation is requested (for example, a door is unlocked), the related control unit
in the sleep mode immediately wakes up and begins to function.
- When the ignition switch is turned OFF, and the driver's or front passenger's door is opened, then
closed, there is about a 10 second delay before the control unit goes from the wake-up mode to the
sleep mode.
- If any door is open, the sleep mode will not function.
- If a key is in the ignition switch, the sleep mode will not function.
- When in sleep mode, the draw is reduced from 70 - 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
Fail-safe
To prevent improper operation, the multiplex control system has a fail-safe function. In the fail-safe
mode, the output signal is fixed when any part of the system malfunctions (for example a faulty
control unit or communication line).
Each control unit has a hardware fail-safe function that fixes the output signal when there is any
CPU malfunction, and a software fail-safe function that ignores the signal from the malfunctioning
control unit and allows the system to operate normally.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

some 2002 CR-Vs, some 2002 Odysseys, one 2003
Civic, and one 2003 Pilot were added.
^ CR-V, Odyssey, and Pilot were added under the REPAIR PROCEDURE and Example of
Customer Letter headings.*
BACKGROUND
A manufacturing error can produce over-pressurization of the driver's (front) airbag inflator during
airbag deployment. If an affected airbag deploys, the increased internal pressure may cause the
inflator casing to rupture. Metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, possibly
causing an injury or fatality to vehicle occupants.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Not all vehicles within the following VIN ranges are affected by this campaign. To verify vehicle
eligibility, you must check at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark below the third character of the engine compartment VIN. A
punch mark in that location means this campaign has already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. As a matter of
federal law, these vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

This system uses ROM chips that match the transmitter to the security system control unit. When
replacing a lost or stolen transmitter, you need to use the three ROM chips (provided with the new
transmitter) to match the old transmitter with the new transmitter and the control unit.
1. Remove the rear cover from the old transmitter and the new one.
2. Remove the ROM chip from the old transmitter by sliding its socket holder toward the ROM chip.
3. Insert a new ROM chip into the socket holder, then slide the socket holder toward the socket to
lock the chip in place.
4. Repeat step 3 to install a ROM chip into the new transmitter.
5. Reinstall the rear covers on the transmitters.
6. Remove the security system control unit from under the driver's seat.
7. Open the access cover on the control unit, and replace the ROM chip. (Use the same procedure
as in steps 2 and 3.)
8. Press the reset button next to the ROM chip.
9. Close the access cover, and reinstall the control unit.
If you are replacing a damaged transmitter, don't replace the ROM chips in the transmitters and the
control unit; just remove the chip from the old transmitter and install it in the new one.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
If your customer wants to add a third transmitter to the system, you need to order a four ROM chip
set directly from Alpine Electronics of America. The Alpine part number for the four ROM chip set is
5319. This ROM chip set does not come with a transmitter. Order the additional transmitter from
American Honda.
If you have questions about how to order a four ROM chip set, call Alpine's parts department at
(800) 421-2284, extension 8885.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

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

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair Monitors, Trips, and/or Drive Cycle (Readiness Codes)
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have
been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the
emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the emissions test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the
engine. The MIL will come on for 15 - 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are
complete. If it blinks several times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set
readiness codes from incomplete to complete, do the procedure for the appropriate code.
Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness Code
NOTE:
- Do not turn the ignition switch off during the procedure.
- All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- Low ambient temperatures or excessive stop-and-go traffic may increase the drive time needed to
switch the readiness code from incomplete to complete.
- The readiness code will not switch to complete until all the enable criteria are met.
- If a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the MIL to come on, the readiness code cannot
be set to complete until you correct the fault.
Enable Criteria
- ECT at 158 °F (70 °C) or higher.
- Intake air temperature (IAT) at 20 °F (-7 °C) or higher.
- Vehicle speed is steady, and vehicle speed sensor (VSS) reads more then 25 mph (40 km/h).
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 5 miles (8 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Control System Monitor and Readiness code
NOTE:
- All readiness code are cleared when the battery is disconnected or when the ECM/PCM is
cleared with the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
- The enable criteria must be repeated if the intake air temperature (IAT) drops lower then 36 °F (2
°C) from its value at engine start up.
Enable Criteria
- At engine start up, ECT and IAT are higher than 32 °F (O °C), but lower than 95 °F (35 °C).
- At engine start up, the ECT and IAT are within 12 °F (7 °C) of each other.
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD II mode. 2. Start the engine. 3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions with short
periods of steady cruise. After about 2.5 miles (4 km), the readiness code should
switch from incomplete to complete.
4. If the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check for a temporary DTC. If there is no DTC,
one or more of the enable criteria were probably not
met; repeat the procedure.
Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor Monitor and Readiness Code

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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).

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The heater control panel controls the blower controls, air delivery, and A/C compressor controls
automatically. With the ignition switch in ON (II), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 14. The
control unit is grounded at G502.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor is located on the evaporator housing. If the temperature at the
evaporator gets too cold, the evaporator temperature sensor sends a signal to the heater control
panel to turn off the A/C compressor clutch. This prevents condensation from freezing on the
evaporator fins and blocking air delivery into the passenger compartment.

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

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Ignition Keys Gets Warm While Driving
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Ignition Key Gets Warm While Driving
APPLIES TO: 2003 Accords, 2001-03 Civics, 2002-03 CR-Vs
SERVICE TIP: Are owners of complaining of the ignition key getting warm while driving? The key
interlock solenoid in the ignition switch is the likely culprit. This solenoid is energized anytime the
shift lever isn't in Park, so the heat from the solenoid gets transferred to the ignition key. This is a
normal characteristic of the vehicle, and can't be fixed by replacing the key interlock solenoid, the
ignition lockset, or any other component.
Page 4982
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early 1990's, 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's 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.
Page 7652
12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).
Cutting Procedure - By Code
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it to the right until the
bottom left side is flush with the base edge. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in
place. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage.
Page 5143
2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Page 8054
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

Use a U-shaped probe. Do not insert the probe forcibly.
Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using improper tools could cause an error in
inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.
SRS Unit, Front Sensors and Side Impact Sensors
SRS Unit, Front Sensors and Side Impact Sensors
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit, front sensors, or the side impact sensors whenever
the ignition switch is ON (II), or for at least 3 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, front sensors, and the side impact sensor. The airbags could
accidentally deploy and cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which any airbags or seat belt tensioners were deployed, replace the SRS unit,
front sensors, and other related components. After a collision in which a side airbag was deployed,
replace the side impact sensor on the deployed side 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, front sensors, 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 3 minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, or disconnecting 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 N.m (1.0 kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.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 °G) and dry (less
than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.
EXAMPLE B:
Page 5661
1. Cut off the female S terminal from the harness, making the cut as close to the terminal as
possible.
2. Strip 6 mm of insulation from the wire using the 2.0 slot on the crimping tool.
NOTE:
Make sure no wire strands were removed when you stripped the insulation. If any were removed,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
3. Insert the wire into the new terminal so it fits as shown.
4. Using the 2.0 slot on the crimping tool, position the terminal in the tool slot with the solid portion
of the terminal toward the anvil and the open section toward the former.

left edge of the key from tip to head.) Turn off the cutter motor.
14. Release the vertical carriage lever. Push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the
cams. Pull the vertical carriage lever towards you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the
right side, at the front of the cams. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at
this height. Do not overtighten the lever.
15. Turn on the cutter motor, then retrace the cam blades from front to back. Push all the cam
blades to the right until they touch the cams, and then retrace the cam blades from back to front
(retracing cleans up the cuts on the key). Turn off the cutter motor.
16. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove the key. Make sure the jaw is
free of any metal shavings or debris. Turn the key over so the blank side is up, then slide it into the
jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key in place.
17. Push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams. Repeat steps 10 through 15 to cut
both edges on the other side of the key.
18. When you are done making the required cuts, release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw
and remove the key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and the locks. If the key does not work, recut the
key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key, code the key transponder.

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
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.

12. Watch the SRS indicator:
^ If the indicator blinks twice and then goes off, the OPDS unit is initialized. Turn the ignition switch
to LOCK (0), and disconnect the HDS.
^ If the indicator blinks twice and then stays on, the OPDS unit is initialized, but SRS DTCs need to
be cleared. Go to step 13.
^ If the indicator stays on without first blinking, the OPDS unit is not initialized. Repeat steps 3 thru
12.
13. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), then disconnect the HDS.
14. Reconnect the SCS service connector to the MES connector. Do not use a jumper wire.
15. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
16. Watch the SRS indicator. (It comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.) Disconnect the
SCS service connector from the MES connector within 4 seconds after the indicator goes off.
17. When the SRS indicator comes on again, connect the SCS service connector to the MES
connector within 4 seconds after the indicator comes on.
18. When the SRS indicator goes off, disconnect the SCS service connector from the MES
connector within 4 seconds. (The SRS indicator blinks twice to indicate that the memory has been
cleared.)
19. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and wait for 10 seconds.
20. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). (The SRS is OK if the SRS indicator comes on for 6 seconds
and then goes off.) If the DTC clearing fails, repeat the process two more times. If the DTC clearing
fails again, check for set SRS DTCs, and troubleshoot them with the appropriate service manual.

The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Electric Load Sensor: Description and Operation
Electrical Load Detector (ELD)
Since the early 1990's, 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's 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.

Recall - Ignition/Shift Interlock Defect
10-059
October 1, 2010
Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Safety Recall: Accord, Civic, and Element Ignition Switch Key Interlock
BACKGROUND
Under certain conditions, the interlock lever of the ignition switch may unexpectedly deform. The
interlock ensures the transmission is in Park before the ignition key can be removed. Interlock
failure may allow the ignition key to be removed when the shift lever is not in Park. If the driver fails
to engage the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
Not all vehicles within the VIN ranges are affected by this recall. Before beginning work on a
vehicle, verify its eligibility by checking at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

5. Install the steering column covers.
6. If necessary, center the cable reel. (New replacement cable reels come centered.) Do this by
first rotating the cable reel clockwise until it stops.
Then rotate it counterclockwise (approximately 2 1/2 turns) until the arrow mark on the cable reel
label points straight up.

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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

VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): Honda/Accord 2003 Honda/Civic 2003
Honda/Element 2003-2004 MANUFACTURER: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
MFR'S REPORT DATE: August 04, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V364000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA09001 COMPONENT: Electrical System: Ignition
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 384220
SUMMARY: Honda is recalling certain model year 2003 Honda Accord, Civic two and four door,
and model year 2003-2004 Honda Element vehicles. The interlock lever of the ignition switch may
unexpectedly deform, which can allow the interlock function of a vehicle with an automatic
transmission to be defeated.
CONSEQUENCE: Removal of the ignition key when the gear selector of a vehicle with an
automatic transmission has not been shifted to the park position can allow the vehicle to roll away,
increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will remove the original interlock pin and lever within the ignition switch, and
replace them with newly, designed components. This service will be performed free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin on or about September 29, 2010. Owners may contact Honda at
1-800-999-1009.
NOTES: Honda safety recall No. R44. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to

REPAIR PROCEDURE
Page 7789
12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).
Cutting Procedure - By Code

Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder: Technical Service Bulletins Ignition Keys Gets Warm While Driving
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2003
TITLE: Ignition Key Gets Warm While Driving
APPLIES TO: 2003 Accords, 2001-03 Civics, 2002-03 CR-Vs
SERVICE TIP: Are owners of complaining of the ignition key getting warm while driving? The key
interlock solenoid in the ignition switch is the likely culprit. This solenoid is energized anytime the
shift lever isn't in Park, so the heat from the solenoid gets transferred to the ignition key. This is a
normal characteristic of the vehicle, and can't be fixed by replacing the key interlock solenoid, the
ignition lockset, or any other component.
Page 3763
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark above the seventh character of the engine compartment VIN. A
punch mark in that location means the ignition switch key interlock has already been
inspected/repaired.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. As a matter of
federal law, these vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.
Should a dealership sell an unrepaired vehicle that subsequently causes an injury or damage
because of the recalled item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and
will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a
vehicle in inventory is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign. An example of the
customer notification is at the end of this service bulletin.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the ignition switch and, if needed, install a Key
Interlock Repair Kit.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete each step within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode. Program the transmitters within 10 seconds.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

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.

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

9. Troubleshoot the DTC(s) in the order indicated using the shown charts.
If a faulty control unit is suspected, substitute it with a known good part and recheck for DTCs.
- If the DTC(s) is still present, go to the next step instead for the DTC.
- If the DTC(s) is no longer present, replace the original part.
Note: Before replacing a Faulty ECM/PCM make sure it has the latest software revision. Update if
necessary before swapping or replacing.

Page 9191
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
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.

Description and Operation
Fuel Cut Control Unit: Description and Operation
Fuel Cut-off Control
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel
economy at speeds over 850 rpm.
Fuel cut-off action also occurs when engine speed exceeds 6,900 rpm, regardless of the position of
the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. With A/T model, when the vehicle is
stopped, the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm.

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

The 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.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The heater control panel controls the blower controls, air delivery, and A/C compressor controls
automatically. With the ignition switch in ON (II), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 14. The
control unit is grounded at G502.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor
The evaporator temperature sensor is located on the evaporator housing. If the temperature at the
evaporator gets too cold, the evaporator temperature sensor sends a signal to the heater control
panel to turn off the A/C compressor clutch. This prevents condensation from freezing on the
evaporator fins and blocking air delivery into the passenger compartment.

How to Install New Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS
1. Carefully match the old terminal with a new one from the terminal repair kit. Choose the correct
replacement terminal based on the wire size range
the terminal will accommodate.
NOTE: If the replacement terminal quantities are low, reorder them by using the terminal part
number listed on the inside lid of the terminal repair kit. Replacement terminals are available
through your parts department using normal parts ordering procedures.
2. Depending on the size of the wire you are repairing, use the proper size slot in the crimping tool.
Page 4215
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
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.

Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAZ-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners
(including those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners
or seat belt buckle tensioners must be deployed. If the vehicle is still within the warranty period, the
Honda District Service Manager must give approval and/or special instruction before deploying the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners or seat belt buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result
of vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped. If the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners and seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed), treat them with extreme
caution. Follow this procedure.
Deploying the Components Out of the Vehicle
If an intact airbag or tensioner has been removed from a scrapped vehicle, or has been found
defective or damaged during transit, storage, or service, it should be deployed as follows:
1. Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure or on the
tool label. 2. Position the airbag face up, outdoors on flat ground at least 30 feet (10 meters) from
any obstacles or people. 3. Follow steps 10, 11, and 12 of the in-vehicle deployment procedure.
Deployment Tool Check Procedure
Deployment Tool Check
1. Connect the yellow clips to both switch protector handles on the tool; connect the tool to a
battery. 2. Push the operation switch: green means the tool is OK; red means the tool is faulty. 3.
Disconnect the battery and the yellow clips.
Disposal of Damaged Components
Disposal of Damaged Components
1. If installed in a vehicle, follow the removal procedure for the driver's airbag, front passenger's
airbag, side airbag, seat belt tensioner, and seat belt
buckle tensioner.
2. In all cases, make a short circuit by cutting, stripping, and twisting together the two inflator wires.
NOTE: The driver's and passenger's airbag each have four wires: twist each pair of like-colored
wires together
3. Package the component in the same packaging that the new replacement part came in. 4. Mark
the outside of the box "DAMAGED AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SIDE AIRBAG NOT
DEPLOYED", "DAMAGED SEAT
BELT TENSIONER NOT DEPLOYED" or "DAMAGED SEAT BELT BUCKLE TENSIONER NOT
DEPLOYED" so it does not get confused with your parts stock.
5. Contact your Honda District Service Manager for how and where to return it for disposal.

inside. If you are reusing the pads, always
reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent a momentary loss of braking efficiency.
10. Push in the piston (A) so the caliper will fit over the pads. Make sure the piston boot is in
position to prevent damaging it when pivoting the caliper
down.
11. Pivot the caliper down into position. Being careful not to damage the pin boots, install the bolt
(B), and tighten it to the specified torque. 12. Press the brake pedal several times to make sure the
brake works, then test-drive.
NOTE: Engagement of the brake may require a greater pedal stroke immediately after the brake
pads have been replaced as a set. Several applications of the brake pedal will restore the normal
pedal stroke.
13. After installation, check for leaks at hose and line joints or connections, and retighten if
necessary.

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

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used 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 (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag
(C), the front passenger's airbag (D), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and
front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.
This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines
whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase
the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt
and buckle firmly to secure the occupants in their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OPDS). This system
consists of sensors (G) and a OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit
sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit. If the OPDS unit determines that the front
passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the front passenger is leaning into the side
airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger's side airbag. The
SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the seat. When the
side airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that
the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the
passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the
driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

Seats With Side Airbags
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Seats With Side Airbags
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to the seat-back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat
manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.
Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad.
Confirm the indication when you exchange these parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
definitely deformed, it must be replaced.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to four transmitters. If you program a
fifth transmitter, the system's memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer
work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter four times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only four transmitter codes can be
accepted.
^ Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes, and then
reprogram them. To do this, refer to the security system owner's manual.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press and hold the Valet-Disarm button on the dashboard lower cover. (Continue to hold the
button during this procedure, or programming will be cancelled.) The LED on the upper steering

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
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.

- Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks (A).
- Slip pliers (A) under the clip base and through the hole at an angle, then squeeze the expansion
tabs to release the clip.
- After installing harness clips, make sure the harness doesn't interfere with any moving parts.
- Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and other hot parts, from sharp edges of brackets
and holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.
- Seat grommets in their grooves properly (A). Do not leave grommets distorted (B).
Testing and Repairs
- Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation. Replace them or repair them by wrapping
the break with electrical tape.
- After installing parts, make sure that no wires are pinched under them.
- When using electrical test equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions and those described.
- If possible, insert the probe of the tester from the wire side (except waterproof connector).
- Use back probe adaptor 07TAZ-001020A.
- Refer to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for identification and replacement of connector
terminals.

Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another for example is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works you know the shared wiring is OK.

the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
5. Shift to the P position, and check for continuity between AS terminal (BLU/BLK) and ground.
There should be continuity in the P position and no
continuity in any other shift lever position. If your test results are different, check for a faulty
transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
6. Shift to the N position, and check for continuity between AS terminal (BLK/RED) and ground.
There should be continuity in the N position and no
continuity in any-other shift lever position. If your test results are different, check for a faulty
transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
7. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), shift to the R position, and check for voltage between A11
terminal (WHT) and ground. There should be 0 V in
the R position. There should be about 5 V in any other shift lever position. If your test results are
different, check for a faulty transmission range switch or an open in the wire.
8. Check for voltage between B17 terminal (YEL) and ground with the ignition switch ON (II). There
should be battery voltage. If your test results
are different, check for a blown No. 10 (7.5A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box or an open in
the wire.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and check for continuity between B16terminal (BLK) and ground
under all conditions. There should be continuity.

- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent ECM/PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the
ECM/PCM update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the ECM/PCM update system. If
the software in the ECM/PCM is the
latest version, replace the ECM/PCM.
How to Substitute the ECM/PCM
1. Remove the ECM/PCM from the vehicle. 2. Install a known-good ECM/PCM in the vehicle. 3.
Rewrite the immobilizer code with the ECM/PCM replacement procedure in the Honda PGM
Tester; It allows you to start the engine. 4. After completing your tests, reinstall the original
ECM/PCM and rewrite the immobilizer code with the ECM/PCM replacement procedure in the
Honda PGM Tester again.

Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.

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.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Definitions
Air Bag
An inflatable cloth cushion designed to deploy in certain frontal crashes. It supplements the
protection offered by the seat belts by distributing the impact load more evenly over the vehicle
occupant's head and torso.
Asynchronous
Performed in a nonperiodic fashion, (i.e., no defined time or interval).
(B+)
Battery voltage, (B+) The voltage available at the battery at the time of the indicated measurement.
With the key "ON" and the engine not running, the system voltage will likely be between 12 and
12.5 volts. At idle the voltage may be 14 to 16 volts. The voltage could be as low as 10 volts during
engine cranking.
Bulb Check
The SDM will cause the "AIR BAG" warning lamp to flash seven times and then go "OFF"
whenever the ignition switch transitions to the ON position from any other ignition switch position
and no malfunctions are detected.
"CONTINUOUS MONITORING"
Tests performed by the SDM on the SRS every 100 milliseconds while "Ignition 1" voltage is in the
normal operating voltage range at the SDM.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
Formerly "DLC" a connector which allows communication with an external computer, such as a
scan tool.
Datum Line
A base line parallel to the plane of the underbody or frame from which all vertical measurements
originate.
Deploy
To inflate the air bag.
Deployment Loops
The circuits which supply current to the air bag assemblies to deploy the air bag.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Formerly "Code", a numerical designator used by the SDM to indicate specific SRS malfunctions.
Driver Current Source
An output of the SDM which applies current into the driver air bag assembly circuit during the
"Initiator Assembly Resistance Test".
Driver Air Bag Assembly
An assembly located in the steering wheel hub consisting of an inflatable bag, an inflator and an
initiator.
EEPROM
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. Memory which retains its contents
when power is removed from the SDM.
Ignition Cycle
The voltage at the SDM "Ignition 1" inputs, with ignition switch "ON", is within the normal operating
voltage range for at least ten seconds before turning ignition switch "OFF".

When you are done, push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams in the left cam set.
10. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the right
side at the front of the cams. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this
height. Do not overtighten the lever.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)
12. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the cam blades from front
to back. (The cutter bit cuts the same contours into the right edge of the key blank, from head to
tip.)

^ Going from front to back, use the middle lock pin to set the first cam to the appropriate key code
number in the code book. (The cam is properly set when the number on the cam lines up with the
red scribe mark on the clamp unit.)
^ Slide the lock pin through the notch in the cam. (This locks the cam in place.)
^ Keep doing this for each of the remaining cams in the set until all the cams are set and locked,
then push the lock pin all the way in.
Repeat this process to set and lock the cams for the right cam set.
NOTE:
Make sure you set the MIS cam in the right cam set for the type of key you are cutting. For a
master key, set the cam to M; for a valet key, set it to S.
When you are done, push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams in the left cam set.
10. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the right
side at the front of the cams. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this
height. Do not overtighten the lever.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)
12. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the cam blades from front
to back. (The cutter bit cuts the same contours into the right edge of the key blank, from head to
tip.)
Page 4783
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 Locater)
Short finders are available to locate shorts to ground. The short finder creates a pulsing magnetic
field in the shorted circuit which you can follow to the location of the short.
To order any test equipment shown above, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers
and tool numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Page 3266
8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the way into the
connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.

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 Locater)
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.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse 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, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
- Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected 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.

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

Page 9298
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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
SRS Components
Airbags
The SRS is a safety device which, when used 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 (A), the cable reel (B), the driver's airbag
(C), the front passenger's airbag (D), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle tensioners (J), and
front impact sensors (K).
Since the driver's and front passenger's airbags use the same sensors, both normally inflate at the
same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.
This can occur when the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines
whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection,
and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seat Belt and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
The seat belt and seat belt buckle tensioners are linked with the SRS airbags to further increase
the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end collision, the tensioners instantly retract the belt
and buckle firmly to secure the occupants in their seats.
OPDS
The side airbag system also includes an occupant position detection system (OPDS). This system
consists of sensors (G) and a OPDS unit (H) in the front passenger's seat-back. The OPDS unit
sends occupant height and position data to the SRS unit. If the OPDS unit determines that the front
passenger is of small stature (for example, a child) and the front passenger is leaning into the side
airbag deployment path, the SRS unit will automatically disable the passenger's side airbag. The
SRS unit will also disable the airbag when the OPDS detects certain objects on the seat. When the
side airbag is disabled, the side airbag cutoff indicator on the instrument panel alerts the driver that
the passenger's side airbag will not deploy in a side impact. When the object is removed, or the
passenger sits upright, the Side Airbag Cutoff indicator will go off after a few seconds, alerting the
driver that the passenger's side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

Connecting Rod Bearing: Service and Repair
Rod Bearing Clearance Inspection
1. Remove the connecting rod cap and bearing half. 2. Clean the crankshaft rod journal and
bearing half with a clean shop towel. 3. Place a strip of plastigage across the rod journal. 4.
Reinstall the bearing half and cap, and torque the bolts to 32 Nm (3.3 kgf-cm, 24 ft. lbs.). Do not
rotate the crankshaft.
5. Remove the rod cap and bearing half and measure the widest part of the plastigage.
Connecting Rod Bearing-to-Journal Oil Clearance: Standard (New): 0.024 - 0.042 mm (0.0009 0.0017 inch) Service Limit: 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
6. If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the upper half of the bearing, install a
new, complete bearing with the same color code,
and recheck the clearance. Do not file, shim, or scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust
clearance.
7. If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below that one), and check
clearance again. If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or
smaller bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.
Rod Bearing Selection
Each rod falls into one of four tolerance ranges (from 0 to 0.024 mm (0.0009 inch), in 0.006 mm
(0.0002 inch) increments) depending on the size of its big-end bore. It's then stamped with a
number (1, 2, 3, or 4), indicating the range. You may find any combination of 1, 2, 3, or 4 in any
engine. Normal Bore Size: 43.0 mm (1.89 inch) Inspect the connecting rod for cracks and heat
damage.

Information Bus: Description and Operation Circuit Description
How the Circuit Works
The conventional portion of the electrical system carries DC (or A/C) power through separate wires
to each component. The multiplex portion of the system, however, sends digital signals between
control units through shared wires to reduce the number and weight of wire harnesses. The signals
from each switch are converted to digital signals within the receiving multiplex control unit. The
digital signals are sent from one multiplex control unit to another as serial data over dedicated
communication lines. When the appropriate control unit receives the digital signal, it converts it
back to a switch signal and operates the related components.
The multiplex control system schematic shows its power, grounds, and communication lines. The
ignition key light is also shown because it is used to blink DTCs in the system's self-diagnosis
function. The rest of the multiplex control system wiring is shown in the following circuit schematics:

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.

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
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.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

13. After completing the right edge, push all of the cam blades to the right until they touch the
cams, then trace the cam blades from back to front. (The cutter bit cuts the same contours into the
left edge of the key from tip to head.) Turn off the cutter motor.
14. Release the vertical carriage lever. Push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the
cams. Pull the vertical carriage lever towards you until the tracer touches the flat surface on the
right side, at the front of the cams. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at
this height. Do not overtighten the lever.
15. Turn on the cutter motor, then retrace the cam blades from front to back. Push all the cam
blades to the right until they touch the cams, and then retrace the cam blades from back to front
(retracing cleans up the cuts on the key). Turn off the cutter motor.
16. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove the key. Make sure the jaw is
free of any metal shavings or debris. Turn the key over so the blank side is up, then slide it into the
jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key in place.
17. Push all the cam blades to the left until they touch the cams. Repeat steps 10 through 15 to cut
both edges on the other side of the key.
18. When you are done making the required cuts, release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw
and remove the key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and the locks. If the key does not work, recut the
key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key, code the key transponder.

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop

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.

^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

5. With the wire inserted in the new terminal as shown in step 3, crimp the wire by squeezing the
tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
6. Crimp the insulation by positioning the 5.5 slot on the tool over the insulation crimp section of the
terminal and squeezing the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the following NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over.
8. Clean the starter side of the S terminal as needed using electric contact cleaner and an electrical
connector cleaning brush (Snap-on P/N YA385A or equivalent). Blow out any debris remaining on
or around the terminal with compressed air.
9. Apply silicone dielectric grease (3M silicone paste P/N 08946, Permatex Dielectric Tune-up
grease P/N 67VR, or equivalent) to the female side of the S terminal, then carefully insert the
terminal into the S terminal on the starter side.
10. Slide the boot completely over the S terminal.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Description and Operation
Fuel Cut Control Unit: Description and Operation
Fuel Cut-off Control
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel
economy at speeds over 850 rpm.
Fuel cut-off action also occurs when engine speed exceeds 6,900 rpm, regardless of the position of
the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. With A/T model, when the vehicle is
stopped, the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm.

^ 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.

030901
Suspension - Drifting & Pulling At Highway Speeds
SOURCE: Honda Service News September 2003
TITLE: Drifting and Pulling at Highway Speeds
APPLIES TO: All Models
SERVICE TIP: Got a customer complaining that the vehicle drifts or pulls when driving at highway
speeds? Use this handy procedure to diagnose and repair the problem.
NOTE: Before doing the procedure in this article, check ISIS for related S/Bs and other S/N articles
for the model you're working on.
1. Check if your customer has original equipment wheels and tires and that the ride height hasn't
been modified.
- If the wheels, tires, and ride height are OK, go to step 2.
- If the wheels or tires aren't original equipment or the ride height was modified, stop here.
Aftermarket wheels or tires or a ride height that's been modified pose challenges that this article
doesn't cover. Resolve these issues with your customer before going further.
2. Set the tire pressures to the recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
3. Find a straight stretch of 4-lane road where you can safely (and legally) go 60 mph for several
minutes. Ideally, you want a road that's perfectly flat, but most roads have a crown that¡C■s
anywhere from 1.5° to 1.75° so they can drain.
Flat Road - While driving at 60 mph, use a stopwatch to time how long it takes to drift one full lane
from center to center. Record the time. Repeat this, driving in the opposite direction to cancel the
effects of wind, then average the two times you recorded. If the vehicle drifts one full lane from
center to center in less than 6 seconds, go to step 4. If not, return the vehicle to your customer.
Crowned Road - While driving at 60 mph, check if the vehicle climbs the crown. Do this for both a
left- and right-crowned road. A drift to the right on a right-crowned road and a drift to the left on
left-crowned road are considered normal. If the vehicle climbs the crown or it drifts to the right on a
left crowned road, go to step 4.
4. Record the original toe, camber, and caster readings. On Passports, set the ride height to spec if
needed. Refer to Ride Height Adjustment in S/B 99-043, Steering Wheel Shimmy or Chassis
Vibration.
5. Loosen the subframe mounting bolts, and move the rear beam (it¡C■s the entire front subframe
on some models) to get the maximum amount of caster and equal side-to-side camber. (As little as
0.4° of camber stagger can cause the vehicle to pull.)
6. Make sure the steering wheel is centered, then set the front and rear toe to the maximum toe-in
spec. (Toe-in improves vehicle stability and reduces the tendency to drift or pull.)
7. Test-drive the vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec, go to step 8.
8. Swap the front and rear tires on each side of the vehicle, then adjust the tire pressures to the
recommended cold inflation values listed on the doorjamb sticker.
Page 1167
1. Remove the driver's side grip cover:
^ Using a trim tool, pry out the front edge of the cover to release the front clip.
^ Pry out along the bottom to release the lower hooks.
^ Pry out along the top to release the upper hooks.
^ Pull the cover forward to release the rear clip.
2. Disconnect the power window master switch connector.
3. Remove the two screws that attach the power window switch base to the armrest, then remove
the switch base.
4. Remove the three screws, then replace the power window master switch assembly.

3. Lower the grab handle, then remove the caps (A). Remove the self-tapping ET screws, then
remove the grab handle (B). 4-door: Remove the
remaining grab handles.
4. 2-door: From the rear driver's side, remove the screw, then remove the coat hanger (A).
5. With moon roof: Remove the headliner (A).
1. Remove the socket plug (B). 2. 2-door: Remove the upper portion of the B-pillar upper trim (C)
from one side 3. 4-door: Remove the upper portion of the C-pillar trim (D) from each side 4.
Remove the remaining door opening trim (E) from each roof portion. 5. Detach the rear clips (F) by
pulling the headliner down. 6. Gently pull down the headliner from the moonroof opening, and
detach the clips (G) with a clip remover. Gently pull down on the sides of
moon roof opening to release fasteners (H). Be careful not to deform the headliner.
7. With the help of an assistant, release the clips (I) of the headliner from the moonroof frame (J),
and lower the headliner. 8. Remove the headliner through the passenger's door opening.
Page 2840
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
Page 9603
212. Combination Light Switch
Page 7426
- Turn off the engine.
It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the speed below 35 mph (55
km/h).
NOTE:
- Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If
you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine (automatic transmission), the vehicle must be
transported on a flat-bed.
- Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not
designed to support the vehicle's weight.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is CR2025. Each transmitter uses one battery.
Page 518
Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contact less type. As the gear purser teeth rotate past the
wheel sensor's magnetic coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance
with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby
detects the wheel speed.
When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the outlet valve opens momentarily
to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is
restored, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.

carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)

stop. Close the jaws with the jaws knob to lock the keys into place. Visually inspect both keys for
proper alignment in the jaws.
10. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage. With the clamp
carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)

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
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.

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.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Seat Belt Tensioners and Seat Belt Buckle Tensioners
1. A front impact sensor must activate and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the tensioners. 3. The charges must
ignite and deploy the tensioners.
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. A front impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. Aside impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the OPDS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS
indicator comes on and goes off after about 6 seconds if the SRS is operating normally. If the
indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it
indicates an abnormality in the SRS. The SRS must be inspected and repaired as soon as
possible.
For better serviceability, the SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).
Seats With Side Airbags
Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation Seats With Side Airbags
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a tag attached to the seat-back. Because the component parts
(seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
Because the seats are made by more than one manufacturer, make sure you replace any seat
components (seat-back cover, frame, etc.) with the correct parts. The name of the seat
manufacturer is indicated on the seat-back.
Moreover, the manufacturer name is indicated on the seat-back frame and the seat-back pad.
Confirm the indication when you exchange these parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair torn or frayed seat-back covers. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the seat-back cover and the side
airbag with new parts. If the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is
definitely deformed, it must be replaced.

(Supersedes 06-085, dated January 22, 2008, to update the information marked by asterisks)
BACKGROUND
On December 29, 2007, a federal court provided final approval of the settlement of a class action
lawsuit alleging that the odometers on certain 2002 through 2006 Honda models, and some 2007
Fit models, were overstating mileage. As part of the settlement, American Honda is extending the
mileage-based coverage period of all warranties, Honda Care Service Contracts, and Honda
Certified Used Vehicles by 5 percent on the above referenced vehicles.
The time limits for all warranties are unchanged.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
The vehicles affected by this settlement include certain 2002 through 2006 Honda models and
some 2007 Fit models purchased or leased between April 13, 2002, and November 7, 2006. The
affected region is the United States (including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.
Virgin Islands). Affected vehicles registered to customers with a military or a NATO address are
also included in this settlement.
The most effective way to check a vehicle's warranty coverage is by a VIN status inquiry.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
American Honda notified affected customers by mail or publication. The notices were sent to
original registered purchasers, informing them of the terms of the settlement. Notice was also
published in a national newspaper.
To view the content of the mailed notice, as well as other documents regarding the settlement, or
for additional information, please refer to these sources:
Website: www.odosettlementinfo.com Information Center: (888) 888-3082
CORRECTIVE ACTION
*On affected vehicles, the settlement requires you to honor a 5 percent increase in the mileage
coverage period for all warranties, all Honda Certified Used Vehicles, and those Honda Care
Service Contracts purchased only by the original owners.*
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
Use the chart as a reference for converting most standard warranty mileage limits to the extended
mileage coverage.
Use the chart as a reference to all service bulletins affected by the extended mileage coverage.
In addition to the 5 percent mileage increase in warranty coverage, any repair performed after
warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill

8. Put the splice connector in the proper size slot in the Crimper Tool, slide it to one end (where the
flare begins), and close the crimper handles far
enough to hold it in place. To release the ratchet mechanism at any point after the first click,
squeeze the handles slightly and push the release lever, then let the handles open.
9. Insert one of the bare wires into the splice connector end that is in the crimper jaws. Push the
wire all the way into the splice connector, and
squeeze the crimper handles. Keep squeezing until the jaws touch, and hold it at that position until
the ratchet clicks again.
10. Crimp the other wire in the same way into the other end of the splice connector.
11. After crimping, gently pull on the wires in the opposite directions to make sure they are secure
in the connector.
12. Separate the other wires in the harness from the repaired wire(s), and shield them with
nonflammable material.
Page 2053
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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
ABS Control Unit
Main Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it
calculates the vehicle speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the
vehicle speed during deceleration based on the rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel and transmits the control signal to the
modulator unit solenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and
pressure intensifying.
Self-diagnosis Function 1. The ABS control unit is equipped with a main CPU and a sub-CPU.
Each CPU checks the other for problems. 2. The CPUs check the circuit of the system. 3. The ABS
control unit turns on the ABS indicator when the unit detects a problem and the unit stops the
system. 4. The self-diagnosis can be classified into these two categories:
^ Initial diagnosis
^ Regular diagnosis
On-board Diagnosis Function The ABS can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding and checking wheel sensor
signals, use the Honda PGM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific
operating instructions.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
SRS Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator charges. 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:
Driver's and Front Passenger's Airbag(s)
1. The frontal impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and depending on the severity of the collision and
whether the seat belt buckle switch is ON or
OFF, it sends the appropriate signals to the airbag inflator(s).
3. The inflators that received signals must ignite and deploy the airbags.
Side Airbag(s)
1. The side impact sensors must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals and send them to the side airbag inflator(s). However,
the microprocessor cuts off the signals to the
front passenger's side airbag if the SRS unit determines that the front passenger's head is in the
deployment path of the side airbag.
3. The inflator that received the signal must ignite and deploy the side airbag.
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 6 seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the indicator does not come on, or does not go off after 6 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 SRS unit memory stores a DTC that relates to the cause of the
malfunction, and the unit is connected to the data link connector (DLC). This information can be
read with the Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the DLC (16P).

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
Out of warranty: Any repairs to the SRS system for problems other than the 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3
DTCs that are done after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by the
District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request consideration, and get a
decision, before starting work.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
^ When you check for SRS DTCs with the HDS, codes other than 15-1, 15-2, and 15-3 are not
covered by this warranty extension bulletin.
^ If the vehicle is covered by warranty, repair it using the normal warranty repair procedures. If the
vehicle's warranty is expired, give your customer an estimate for the cost of the repair.
Do the appropriate inspection, based on the DTC.
SRS DTC 15-1
Clear the DTC with the HDS.
^ If DTC 15-1 does not set again, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
^ If DTC 15-1 sets again, continue with normal troubleshooting.
^ If the OPDS unit causes DTC 15-1 to set repeatedly, yet passes the other troubleshooting steps,
go to REPAIR PROCEDURE A: OPDS UNIT REPLACEMENT.
SRS DTC 15-2
1. Inspect the connections and the wiring in the side airbag cutoff indicator circuit.
^ If all the connections and the wiring are OK, go to step 2.

Updated information is shown with asterisks.
BACKGROUND
*NOTE:
Because of a class action settlement, the warranty extension coverage for the OPDS unit and the
OPDS sensor on 2002 Accords, 2002-04 Civics, 2003-04 Civic Hybrids, 2002-04 CR-Vs, 2003
Elements, 2002 Odysseys, and 2003-04 Pilots purchased or leased between April 13, 2002, and
November 7, 2006, is now 10 years or 157,500 miles, whichever occurs first. For more information,
refer to Service Bulletin 06-085, Warranty Extension: Vehicle Warranty Mileage.*
Several vehicle models may have a problem with the OPDS (occupant position detection system)
that causes the SRS indicator to stay on. Typically, one or more of these DTCs will be set:
^ SRS DTC 15-1 (faulty OPDS unit or OPDS not initialized)
^ SRS DTC 15-2 (faulty side airbag indicator circuit)
^ SRS DTC 15-3 (faulty OPDS sensor)
To ensure continued reliability with the OPDS, American Honda is extending the warranty on the
OPDS unit and the OPDS sensor to 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
This warranty extension does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss, or
any that has been issued a salvage, branded, or similar title under any state's law. To check for
vehicle eligibility, you must do a VIN status inquiry
Page 3140
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

Terminal Numbering System
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they're in. The cavities 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

3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from
the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former.
5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
- If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
- If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than
10 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Start the engine in the P or N position, and warm it up to
normal operating temperature (the radiator fans come on). 4. To verify that the problem is repaired,
test-drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/h) or in freeze data range.
Page 5378
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set.
First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
- If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector
housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
- If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.
2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.
EXAMPLE B:
Page 5374
- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

Programming the Transmitter
1. Locate the security system control unit under the driver's seat.
2. Rub your finger over the label on the top of the control unit until you find the depression. Once
you find it, push your finger through the label to expose the hole underneath. Inside the hole is a
square, yellow button; this is the programming button.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON, then turn it to LOCK.
4. Press and hold the programming button. Check that the security siren emits four separate chirps
followed by a five-chirp burst. This confirms that the system is in programming mode. The siren
then emits prompting chirps at 3-second intervals.
5. Release the programming button.
6. After a prompting chirp, press the "LOCK" button on the transmitter. Verify that the siren emits a
confirmation chirp to confirm that the transmitter's code was accepted by the control unit. If you
wait more than 30 seconds after the prompting chirp before programming a transmitter, or wait
more than 30 seconds between programming transmitters, the siren emits three chirps and the
system exits the programming mode.
7. To program additional transmitters, wait for another prompting chirp, then press the "LOCK"
button. (You can program up to four transmitters per vehicle.)
8. To exit the programming mode, turn the ignition switch to ON, then turn it to LOCK.
9. Test all the transmitters.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is 23-144 (Radio Shack), A-23 (Eveready), or MS-21/MN-21 (Duracell). Each
transmitter uses one battery.

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Page 3838
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

Specifications
Page 4372
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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

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

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from exiting
the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is CR2025. Each transmitter uses one battery.

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
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.

Side Air Bag: Description and Operation
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact. Side impact sensors (F) in each
door sill and in the SRS unit detect such an impact and instantly inflate the driver's or the
passenger's side airbag. Only one side airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on
the passenger's side, the passenger's side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger.
Seats with Side Airbags
Seats with side airbags have a "SIDE AIRBAG" label on the seat-back. Because the component
parts (seat-back cover, cushion, etc.) of seats with and without airbags are different, make sure you
install only the correct replacement parts.
* When cleaning, do not saturate the seat with liquid, and do not spray steam on the seat.
* Do not repair a torn or frayed seat-back cover. Replace the seat-back cover.
* After a collision in which the side airbag was deployed, replace the side airbag with new parts. If
the seat-back cushion is split, it must be replaced. If the seat-back frame is deformed, it must be
replaced.
* Never put aftermarket accessories on the seat (cover, pads, seat heaters, lights, etc.).

3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from
the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former.
5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
- If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
- If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

Programming the Transmitter
The transmitter is not programmable.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. To order a transmitter, you need
the vehicle's VIN, the code number from the power door lock control unit, and the ignition key code
number.
The power door lock code number is a five-digit number etched into the plastic case of the control
unit (mounted under the driver's seat). The ignition key code number is a four-digit number
stamped on the metal shank of all five original keys delivered with the car.
Replacement transmitters are manufactured to match the code of the keyless entry system. The
new ignition key is cut to match the vehicle's ignition switch, front door locks, tailgate lock, and
glove compartment lock.
To order this transmitter, use the controlled parts ordering screen on the iN system. The
transmitters are manufactured in Japan; delivery takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Batteries for the Transmitter

- 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.
Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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 Drop

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)
Page 1865
11. Disconnect the quick-connect fitting (A): Hold the connector (B) with one hand and squeeze the
retainer tabs (C) with the other hand to release
them from the locking pawls (D). Pull the connector off.
NOTE: Prevent the remaining fuel in the fuel feed line or hose from flowing out with a rag or shop towel.
- Be careful not to damage the line (E) or other parts.
- Do not use tools.
- If the connector does not move, keep the retainer tabs pressed down, and alternately pull and
push the connector until it comes off easily.
- Do not remove the retainer from the line; once removed, the retainer must be replaced with a new
one.
12. After disconnecting the quick-connect fitting, check it for dirt or damage (see step 4).

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Control Module: Service and Repair Updating the ECM/PCM
PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) P/N EQS05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the PCM only if the PCM does not already have the latest software loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the PCM
NOTE: To ensure the latest program is installed, do an PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
- Before you update the PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, moon roof, door locks, etc.) during the update.
- If you need to diagnose the Honda Interface Module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the Data Link Connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the HIM to the DLC (A) located under the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the PCM
update procedure as described on the HIM label and in the PCM update system. If the software in
the PCM is the latest version,
replace the PCM.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
This procedure must be done after any troubleshooting.
1. Clear the DTC(s) with the Scan Tool or HDS, or reset the PCM by removing the No. 6 (PCM)
fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than

NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to two transmitters. If you program a
third transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter two times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only two transmitter codes can be
accepted.
^ Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes and then
reprogram them. To do this, refer to the security system owner's manual.
Programming the Transmitter
1. Move the driver's seat forward. Locate the security system control unit mounted on the floor
underneath the seat.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Use a pen or pencil to press and hold the green programming button on the side of the control
unit. When the security system LED on the instrument panel comes on, release the programming
button. (Steps 3 and 4 must be done within 5 seconds of each other.)
4. Press and release the top button on the transmitter. Verify that the LED goes out, the siren
chirps once, and the front sidemarker lights flash to confirm that the transmitter's code was
accepted by the control unit.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK, then to ON.

Spraying clear coat Spray the top coat clear evenly over the surface of the top coat enamel. Do not
try to cover the surface with one heavy coat.
Drying After spraying the clear coat, allow it to dry for 10 minutes, then force dry it with infrared
lamps or other industrial dryer.
NOTE: Follow the top coat manufacturers instructions for drying times.
3. Polishing/buffing
Check that the clear coat has dried thoroughly and that it is coal.
1. Any adhesion or roughness on the top coat should be wet sanded and repaired.
Use the #1200 - #2000 and crystal block.
2. Polish any roughness caused by sanding.
NOTE: Clean the top coat surface frequently so you don't damage the clear coat with the polishing
particles.
Use a buffing towel, buffing wool, and compound.
3. Finishes up with buffing.
NOTE:
- Do not use a power buffer.
- Don't polish too much; use light hand pressure.
Use the buffing sponge, fine compound, very fine compound, then ultra fine compound.
4. After buffing, remove the masking paper and tape, and thoroughly wash the entire vehicle.

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.

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
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.

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
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.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM

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

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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

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 Locater)
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.

12. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you while you position the tracer on the right edge of the
original key at its head, using the clamp carriage lever. Let the cutter bit cut into the key blank, then
stop. Gently twist the lever clockwise to lock the vertical carriage at this height. Do not overtighten
the lever.
13. Use the clamp carriage lever and the tracer to follow the contours of the original key. (The
cutter bit cuts the same contours into the key blank.) Working from right to left, follow the right edge
of the original key from head to tip, then the left edge of the key from tip to head. Turn off the cutter
motor.
14. Reposition the tracer on the right edge of the original key at its head, using the clamp carriage
lever. Turn on the cutter motor. Retrace the key from head to tip, then from tip to head. (This
retracing cleans up the cuts on the key.) Turn off the cutter motor.
15. Release the vertical carriage lever. Open the jaw and remove only the new key. Make sure the
jaw is free of any metal shavings or debris, then turn the new key over and slide the key with its
blank side up into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw to lock the key into place.
16. Turn on the cutter motor, and repeat steps 12 thru 14 to cut both edges of the other side of the
key.
17. When you are finished making the required cuts, turn off the cutter motor, and release the
vertical carriage lever. Open the jaws, and remove the keys.
18. Use a wire brush to smooth the cut surfaces on the new key.
19. Make sure the key works in the ignition switch and all the locks. If the key does not work, recut
the key, and try it again.
20. Depending on the type of key blank you have used, do this:
^ If you have used a Honda key blank, add the transponder code of the new key to the immobilizer
system with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), code the key's
transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer key
Code Duplicator).
Cutting Procedure - By Code
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it to the right until the
bottom left side is flush with the base edge. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in
place. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage.

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

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

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

2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer is directly over the flat
surface of the code device, just ahead of the cam blades.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer just touches the flat surface ahead of
the cam blades. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the vertical arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right five clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer five clicks lower than the cutter bit at this point has the effect of making the cutter
bit cut the duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the set screw, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position.
8. Clean any metal shavings or debris out of the center jaw. (A soft-bristle toothbrush is ideal for
this purpose.) Then open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the key blank with its flat side
down into the jaw up to the key stop. Close the jaw with the jaws knob to lock the key blank into
place. Visually inspect the key for proper alignment in the jaw.
9. Set and lock the cam sets on the code device.
^ Starting with the left cam set, make sure the lock pin is pulled all the way out. (This releases the
cams.)

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.

Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
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.
Service and Repair
Repairs and Inspections Required After a Collision: Service and Repair
Component Replacement/Inspection After Deployment
NOTE: Before doing any SRS repairs, use the PGM Tester SRS menu method to check for DTCs.
After a collision where the seat belt tensioners deployed, replace these items:
- Seat belt tensioners
- Seat belt buckle tensioner
- SRS unit
- Front impact sensors
After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
- SRS unit
- Deployed airbag(s)
- Seat belt tensioners
- Seat belt buckle tensioners
- Front impact sensors
After a collision where the side airbag(s) deployed, replace these items:
- SRS unit
- Deployed side airbag(s)
- Side impact sensor(s) for side(s) deployed
During the repair process, inspect these areas:
- Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't repair, any damaged harnesses.
- Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. If there is any damage, replace the cable reel.
After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the SRS indicator comes
on for about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS airbag system is OK. If the indicator does not
function properly, use the PGM Tester SRS Menu Method to read the DTC. If this doesn't retrieve
any codes, use the Tester's SCS menu method. If you still cannot retrieve a code, go to SRS
Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting.

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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.

Alignment: Service and Repair
Wheel Alignment
The suspension can be adjusted for front camber, front toe, and rear toe. However, each of these
adjustments are interrelated to each other. For example, when you adjust toe, the camber
changes. Therefore, you must adjust the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber or toe.
Pre-Alignment Checks For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these
checks: 1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement. 2. Make sure the
suspension is not modified. 3. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
Tire size: Front/rear: P185/70R14 87S P185/65R15 86H P195/60R15 87H Tire pressure:
Front/rear:210 kPa (2.1 kgf/cm2, 30 psi)
4. Check the runout of the wheels and tires.
5. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a wheel with your hands, and move it up and down and
right and left to check for wobbling). 6. Bounce the vehicle up and down several times to stabilize
the suspension.
Front Caster Inspection Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment
to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equipment
manufacturer's instructions. Check the caster angle. If the caster angle is not within the
specification, check for bent or damaged suspension components. Front caster angle:
1°33' ± 1° for '01-02 models 2°14' ± 1° for '03-04 models
Front Camber Inspection Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment
equipment to measure wheel alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the
equipment manufacturer's instructions. Check the camber angle. If the camber angle is not within
the specification, adjust the camber. Front camber angle: 0°00' ± 45'
Front Camber Adjustment
The front camber can be adjusted by exchanging one or both of the damper pinch bolts with the
smaller diameter adjusting bolt(s). The difference between the adjusting bolt diameter and the
pinch bolt hole diameter allows a small range of adjustment.
Page 7446
- Before connecting connectors, make sure the terminals (A) are in place and not bent.
- Check for loose retainer (A) and rubber seals (B).
- The backs of some connectors are packed with dielectric grease. Add grease if necessary. If the
grease is contaminated, replace it.
- Insert the connector all the way and make sure it is securely locked.
- Position wires so that the open end of the cover faces down.
Handling Wires and Harnesses
- Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with their respective wire ties at the designated
locations.
Page 9657
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

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

Engine Control Module: Service Precautions
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.

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

Troubleshooting Tests
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 test 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 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.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

96-97 Passport With Dealer-Installed Security System
1996-97 Passport with dealer-installed security system
NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to two transmitters. If you program a
third transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter two times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only two transmitter codes can be
accepted.
^ Another way to clear a lost or stolen transmitter is to erase all transmitter codes and then
reprogram them. To do this, refer to the security system owner's manual.
Programming the Transmitter
1. Move the driver's seat forward. Locate the security system control unit mounted on the floor
underneath the seat.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Use a pen or pencil to press and hold the green programming button on the side of the control
unit. When the security system LED on the instrument panel comes on, release the programming
button. (Steps 3 and 4 must be done within 5 seconds of each other.)
4. Press and release the top button on the transmitter. Verify that the LED goes out, the siren
chirps once, and the front sidemarker lights flash to confirm that the transmitter's code was
accepted by the control unit.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK, then to ON.

Page 8132
Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter

APPLIES TO: 03-04 Accord 01-04 Civic 02-04 CR-V 03-04 Element 02-04 Odyssey 03-04 Pilot
SERVICE TIP:
Got a vehicle in your shop that purrs like a kitten but it sets a DTC P0171 (fuel system too lean)?
Check the short-term fuel trim (ST FUEL TRIM B1). If the value reads higher than 1.05, then check
the MAP SENSOR value with the engine turned off and the ignition switch turned to ON (II).
- If the MAP SENSOR and BARO SENSOR values match, the MAP sensor is working OK. Do the
normal troubleshooting for DTC P0171.
- If the MAP SENSOR and BARO SENSOR values don't match, install a known-good MAP sensor,
and retest. If the sensor values now match, clear the DTC, and make sure the ST FUEL TRIM B1
value is normal (it reads about 1.0).

NOTE: Dirt build-up in the loops of the upper anchors can cause the seat belts to retract slowly.
Wipe the inside of the loops with a clean cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol.
4. Check that the seat belt does not lock when pulled out slowly. The seat belt is designed to lock
only during a sudden stop or impact. 5. Make sure that the seat belt will retract automatically when
released. 6. For each passenger's seat belt, check the seat belt retractor locking mechanism ALR
(automatic locking retractor). This function is for securing
child seats.
-1 Pull the seat belt all the way out to engage the ALR. The seat belt should retract with a
ratcheting sound, but not extend. This is normal. -2 To disengage the ALR, release the seat belt
and allow it to fully retract, then pull the seat belt out part-way. The seat belt should retract and
extend normally.
7. Replace the seat belt with a new assembly if there is any abnormality. Do not disassemble any
part of the seat belt for any reason.
Page 9411
2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
Page 5269
7. Align the cutouts (A) on the rotary-frame with the neutral positioning cutouts (B) on the
transmission range switch, then put a 2.0 mm (0.08 inch)
feeler gauge blade (C) in the cutouts to hold it in the N position.
NOTE: Be sure to use a 2.0 mm (0.08 inch) blade or equivalent to hold the switch in the N position.
8. Install the transmission range switch (A) gently on the control shaft (B) with holding the N
position with the 2.0 mm (0.08 inch) blade (C).
9. Tighten the bolts on the transmission range switch while you continue to hold it in the N position.
Do not move the transmission range switch
when tightening the bolts. Remove the feeler gauge.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will

4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

Evaporative Check Valve: Testing and Inspection
EVAP Two Way Valve Test
Special Tools Required
- Vacuum pump/Gauge, 0 - 30 in.Hg A973X-041-XXXXX
- Vacuum/Pressure Gauge, 0 - 4 in.Hg 07JAZ-001000B
1. Remove the fuel fill cap.
2. Disconnect the vapor line from the EVAP two way valve (A). Connect it to a fitting (B) from the
vacuum gauge and the vacuum pump as shown. 3. Apply vacuum slowly and continuously while
watching the gauge. The vacuum should stabilize momentarily at 0.8 - 2.1 kPa (6 - 16 mmHg, 0.2 0.6 in.Hg). If the vacuum stabilizes (valve opens) below 0.8 kPa (6 mmHg, 0.2 in.Hg) or above 2.1
kPa (16 mmHg, 0.6 in.Hg), install a new valve and retest.
4. Move the vacuum pump hose from the vacuum fining to the pressure fitting, and move the
vacuum gauge hose from the vacuum side to the
pressure side (A) as shown.
5. Slowly pressurize the vapor line while watching the gauge. The pressure should stabilize
momentarily above 1.0 kPa (8 mmHg, 0.3 in.Hg).
- If the pressure momentarily stabilizes (valve opens) above 1.0 kPa (8 mmHg, 0.3 in.Hg), the valve
is OK.
- If the pressure stabilizes below 1.0 kPa (8 mmHg, 0.3 in.Hg), install a new valve and retest.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
Page 6343
2. Line up the slots in the arms with the bolt holes on the corners of the jack base, then attach the
adapter to the jack base with the bolts that came with the jack. Tighten all of the bolts securely.
3. Raise the jack to vehicle height.
4. With the rear bar of the adapter spanning the sides of the subframe, route the adapter's strap
around the front of the subframe. Pull the strap as tightly as possible, insert the pin through the
appropriate loop, then tighten the wing nut.
5. With all of the vehicle parts properly supported or removed (see Engine or Transmission
Removal in the appropriate service manual), carefully lower the subframe using the controls on the
jack.

General Troubleshooting Information
Tips and Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check applicable fuses in the appropriate fuse/relay box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state
of charge, and clean and tight connections.
NOTE: 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.
Handling Connectors
- Make sure the connectors are clean and have no loose wire terminals.
- Make sure multiple cavity connectors are packed with dielectric grease (except watertight
connectors).
- All connectors have push-down release type locks (A).
- Some connectors have a clip on their side used to attach them to a mount bracket on the body or
on another component. This clip has a pull type lock.
- Some mounted connectors cannot be disconnected unless you first release the lock and remove
the connector from its mount bracket (A).
- Never try to disconnect connectors by pulling on their wires; pull on the connector halves instead.
- Always reinstall plastic covers.

Check for continuity between the terminals.
- There should be continuity between the No.1 and No.3 terminals when power and ground are
connected to the No.2 and No.4 terminals.
- There should be no continuity between the No.1 and No.3 terminals when power is disconnected.
Five-terminal type
Check for continuity between the terminals.
- There should be continuity between the No.1 and No.2 terminals when power and ground are
connected to the No.3 and No.5 terminals.
- There should be continuity between the No.1 and No.4 terminals when power is disconnected.
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.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

A/C - Heater Blows Cool Air At Idle
Heater Core: Technical Service Bulletins A/C - Heater Blows Cool Air At Idle
Heater Blows Cool Air When Coming to a Stop or at Idle
Got a 01-05 Civic with a heater that blows warm air while driving but starts blowing Cool air when
coming to a stop or at idle? What's most likely causing this problem is air trapped in the heater
core. To fix this problem, you've got to bleed the cooling system (replacing the thermostat won't do
the trick). Here's how you do it:
1. Fill the reserve tank with Honda All Season Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 50 the coolant level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the tank.
2. Remove the radiator cap. Make sure the coolant level is up to the base of the filler neck. Add
coolant if needed.
3. Loosely install the radiator cap.
4. Set the temperature control knob to maximum.
5. Start the engine, and let it run until it reaches normal operating temperature (the cooling fans
cycle twice). Shut off the engine.
6. Remove the radiator cap. Make sure the coolant level is up to the base of the filler neck. Add
coolant if needed.
7. Securely install the radiator cap.
8. Start the engine, and check for leaks.
Page 1075
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. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a 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 off, 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 Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
Page 4787
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.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
Terminal Replacement Procedure
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Page 1098
10. Connect the connector securely, then install the transmission range switch cover.
11. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Move the shift lever through all gear positions, and cheek the
transmission range switch synchronization with the
A/T gear position indicator.
12. Allow the wheels to rotate freely, then start the engine. 13. Move the shift lever through all gear
positions, and verify the following:
^ The engine will not start in any position other than N or P.
^ The back-up lights come on when the shift lever is in the R position.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.
This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire).
4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit onto the stripped end of the
original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place.
6. Lay the pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making
more than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.

Programming the Transmitter
NOTES:
^ The system accepts up to three transmitters. The transmitter codes are stored in a stacking-type
memory. If a fourth transmitter code is programmed, the code for the first transmitter is erased.
^ Entering the programming mode cancels all learned transmitter codes, so none of the previously
programmed transmitters will work. You must reprogram all of the transmitters once you are in the
programming mode.
^ You must complete steps 1-6 within 4 seconds of the previous step to keep the system from
exiting the programming mode.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on one of the transmitters. (An unprogrammed transmitter
can be used for this step.)
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Repeat steps 1 2, and 3 two more times using the same transmitter used in step 2.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
6. Press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on the same transmitter. Make sure the power door locks
cycle to confirm that the system is in programming mode.
7. Within 10 seconds, press the "Lock" or "Unlock" button on each transmitter. Make sure the
power door locks cycle after you press each transmitter button to confirm that the system accepted
the transmitter's code.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) to exit the programming mode.
Ordering a Transmitter
Transmitters can be ordered only by authorized Honda dealers. Order them from American Honda
using normal parts ordering procedures.
Batteries for the Transmitter
The battery number is CR2025. Each transmitter uses one battery.
94-95 Passport (Except 1995-1/2)
1994-95 Passport (except 19951A) with dealer-installed security system
NOTES:
^ The system uses a stacking-type memory that accepts up to four transmitters. If you program a
fifth transmitter, the memory for the first transmitter is pushed out, and it will no longer work.
^ To clear a lost or stolen transmitter from the system's memory, program a transmitter four times.
This will remove the missing transmitter from memory, since only four transmitters can be
accepted.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

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.

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

- Never perform electrical inspections to the airbags, such as measuring resistance.
- Do not position yourself in front of the airbag assembly during removal, inspection, or
replacement.
- Refer to the scrapping procedures for disposal of the damaged airbag.
General Precautions
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before performing the airbag system service.
Observe the instructions described or the airbags could accidentally deploy and cause damage or
injuries.
Except when performing electrical inspections, always turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect
the negative cable from the battery, and wait at least three minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The contents in the memory is not erased even if the ignition switch is turned OFF or the
battery cables are disconnected from the battery.
Use the replacement parts which are manufactured to the same standards as the original parts and
quality. Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Use only new parts when making SRS
repairs.
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it. Do not install any part that shows signs of
being dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks or deformation.
Before removing any of the SRS parts (including the disconnection of the connectors), always
disconnect the SRS connector.
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. If it is not a Honda multimeter, make sure its
output is 10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the lowest value in the ohmmeter range. A tester
with a higher output could cause accidental deployment and possible injury.
Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.
The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's radio code
before disconnecting the battery cable.
Precautions For Electrical Inspections
Precautions For Electrical Inspections
When using electrical test equipment, insert the probe of the tester into the wire side of the

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 Locater)
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.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution diagram set to get a more detailed
understanding of how picture is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

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.
Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo in the back of the book that shows the connector's location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an illustration in the back of the book that shows the connector
terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints shown on diagram [8] . Except for the DLC (data link connector)
disregard any numbers molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number "2" next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

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.

Cutting Procedure - By Copying
1. Press the ON/OFF button in the middle of the setting unit keypad. (This powers up the keypad.)
2. Turn the clamp unit lock lever to the left to release the clamp unit, and slide it all the way to the
left until it stops. Turn the lever to the right to lock the clamp unit in place.
3. Use the clamp carriage lever to position the clamp unit so the tracer and cutter bit are centered
directly over the base of the center and right jaws.
4. Pull the vertical carriage lever toward you until the tracer and the cutter bit just touch the base of
each fixed jaw. Watch the arrows on the keypad:
^ If the double-headed arrow in the middle of the keypad lights green, the tracer and cutter bit are
properly aligned.
^ If the arrow on the left of the keypad lights red, the cutter bit is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn
the micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the left until the double-headed arrow lights green.
^ If the arrow on the right of the keypad lights red, the tracer is not touching the fixed jaw. Turn the
micrometric ring nut above the tracer to the right until the double-headed arrow lights green.
*5. Turn the micrometric ring nut to the right three clicks so the cutter bit is slightly higher than the
tracer. The arrow on the left should light red. Raise the vertical carriage.
NOTE:
Setting the tracer three clicks lower than the cutter bit has the effect of making the cutter bit cut the
duplicated key a little shallower. This will protect the locking jaws from being damaged.*
6. Optional: Loosen the setscrew, and adjust the hand rest to a comfortable position. Tighten the
screw.
7. Pull the clamp carriage lever toward you until the clamp carriage clicks into its end-of-run
position. Tighten both the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs.
8. Make sure the center and right jaws are free of any metal shavings or debris. (A soft-bristle
toothbrush is ideal for this purpose.)
Page 7823
9. Open the jaws with the jaws knob, and slide the original key with its flat side down into the center
jaw up to the key stop. Slide the key blank with its flat side down into the right jaw up to the key
stop. Close the jaws with the jaws knob to lock the keys into place. Visually inspect both keys for
proper alignment in the jaws.
10. Loosen the lateral and spring tension adjustment knobs on the clamp carriage. With the clamp
carriage lever, adjust the clamp carriage to position the tracer and the cutter bit over the middle of
the two locked key blades. Tighten only the spring tension knob when done.
NOTE:
The clamp carriage has a spring system that puts lateral pressure on the tracer and cutting bit to
make it easier to cut sidewinder-type keys. Do not tighten the lateral tension adjustment knob. This
knob should be left loose.
11. Turn on the cutter motor with the motor start switch.
[NOTICE]
^ To avoid damaging the locking jaws while cutting, keep your hand off the vertical carriage lever.
Pressure on the lever will change the cutting depth.
* ^ To avoid breaking the cutter bit, never back up while cutting.*
^ Wear proper eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)

How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION:
On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate harness. If the SRS harness is damaged,
replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models, wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If
any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness; do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.

Piston Ring: Service and Repair
Replacement
1. Remove the piston from the cylinder block.
2. Using a ring expander (A), remove the old piston rings (B). 3. Clean all ring grooves thoroughly
with a squared off broken ring or ring groove cleaner with a blade to fit the piston grooves. The top
ring groove
is 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) wide. The second ring groove is 1.2 mm (0.05 inch wide. The oil ring groove
is 2.0 mm (0.08 inch) wide. File down a blade if necessary. Do not use a wire brush to clean the
ring grooves, or cut the ring grooves deeper with cleaning tools.
NOTE: If the piston is to be separated from the connecting rod, do not install new rings yet.
4. Using a piston, push a new ring (A) into the cylinder bore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 inch) from the
bottom. 5. Measure the piston ring end-gap (B) with a feeler gauge:
^ If the gap is too small, check to see if you have the proper rings for your engine.
^ If the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore diameter against the wear limits.
^ If the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder block must be rebored. Piston Ring End-Gap: Top
Ring Standard (New): 0.15 - 0.30 mm (0.006 - 0.012 inch) Service Limit: 0.60 mm (0.024 inch)
Second Ring Standard (New): 0.30 - 0.45 mm (0.012 - 0.018 inch) Service Limit: 0.60 mm (0.024
