asterisks.)
SYMPTOM
The security system will not arm or it arms by itself.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Key switch contact chatter causes the control unit to change modes.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
* Civic: Replace the security control unit, and reprogram the remote(s).*
* CR-V and Element: Replace the security control unit and the microphone, then reprogram the

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 101
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Interior Lighting Module: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 112
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 113
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 114
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 115
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 124
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 125
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 126
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 127
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 129
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.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair ECM/PCM Idle Learn Procedure
ECM/PCM Idle Learn Procedure
The idle learn procedure must be done so the ECM/PCM can learn the engine idle characteristics.
Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of these actions:
- Disconnect the battery.
- Replace the ECM/PCM or disconnect its connector.
- Reset the ECM/PCM.
NOTE: Erasing DTCs with the HDS does not require you to do the idle learn procedure.
- Replace the throttle body.
- Replace the idle air control (IAC) valve.
- Remove the No.6 ECU (ECM/PCM) (15A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- Remove the No.19 BATTERY (80A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- Remove PGM-FI main relay 1.
- Remove any of the wires from the under-hood fusel relay box.
- Disconnect any of the connectors from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- Disconnect the connector between the engine compartment wire harness and ECM/PCM wire
harness.
- Disconnect the G2 terminal from the transmission housing.
- Disconnect the G1 terminal from the body.
- Disconnect the G101 terminal from the cylinder head cover.
Procedure
1. Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, rear window defogger, lights, etc.) are off. 2. Start the
engine, and hold it at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or
until the engine coolant temperature
reaches 194 °F (90 °C).

Air Bag Control Module: Service Precautions
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition
switch is ON (II), or at least for three minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the
area around the SRS unit and the side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and
cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit. After a collision in which
the side airbag was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the side where the side airbag
deployed and the SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side impact sensors. If there is
any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact sensors.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact sensors.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, and disconnect the connectors from
the SRS unit.
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts
torqued to 9.8 Nm (1.0 kg.m, 7.2 lb.ft)
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors and keep them away from dust.
Store the SRS unit and the side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104°F / 40°C) and dry (less
than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
SRS Unit
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver and front passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag and front passenger's airbag.
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator 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:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and send them to the airbag inflators (and seat belt
tensioners). 3. The inflators must ignite and deploy the airbags (and activate the tensioners).

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.

4. 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
switch 45° clockwise to lock it. The gap between the brake pedal position switch and the pad is
automatically adjusted to 0.4 to 3.0 mm (0.016 - 0.118 inch) by locking the switch. Make sure the
brake lights go off when the pedal is released.
5. Check the brake pedal free play.
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off, inspect the play (A) on the pedal pad (B) by pushing the pedal by hand. 2. 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.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contact less type. The wheel sensors detect changing of
magnetic polarity on the magnetic encoder. The ABS control unit calculates the wheel speed based
on signals received from the wheel sensor.
Wheel Speed and Modulator Control
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 452
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Dimmer Switch: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 463
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 464
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 465
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 466
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 475
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 476
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 477
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 478
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 479
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel > Dimmer Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 480
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.

TITLE: Got a DTC P0171? Check the Short-Term Fuel Trim
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).

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

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.

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.

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
None. This service bulletin is for information only.
*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.

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.)

Switches - Ignition System > Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 810
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.)

Switches - Ignition System > Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 811
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.

Switches - Ignition System > Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 812
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.)

Switches - Ignition System > Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 813
^ 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.)

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

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.

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 > Page 884
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.)

Ignition Switch > Page 885
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.

Ignition Switch > Page 886
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.)

^ 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.)

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.

*Vehicle Pulls or Drifts, and/or Steering Wheel Is Off-Center (Supersedes 06-068, Vehicle Pulling
or Drifting, dated October 4, 2007, to revise the information marked by asterisks) (Replaces
90-011, Steering Wheel Off-Center Adjustment at PDI)*
*REVISION SUMMARY
The title description was revised.*
SYMPTOM
While driving on a straight road, the vehicle pulls or drifts to the right or left.
BACKGROUND
New tools were developed to help you diagnose and correct a pulling and/or steering wheel
off-center issue. There is a diagnosis worksheet included to take on your test-drive and record your
findings. These values are used to build the 15-digit DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that is required
for your warranty claim. The last step in each repair procedure helps you create the correct code.
In the rare case that you have to repair a vehicle that pulls and has the steering wheel off-center,
use REPAIR PROCEDURE B to file your warranty claim.
For more information, refer to Training Module SSC 44 - Steering Drift or Pull Interactive Service

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.

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.

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.

NOTE:
Do this repair procedure if, after doing step 10 of the test-drive, the vehicle pulled in the opposite
direction after you swapped the front tires.
1. Swap wheels 2 and 4 on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 2, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, put wheels 2 and 4 back to their original positions, and go to step 2.
2. Swap wheels 1 and 3 on the driver's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 1, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, use a known-good tire in position 1 and continue diagnosis.
3. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.

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.

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

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.

^ 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.

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

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.

12. Test-drive your customer¡C■s vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap the tires back to the donor vehicle one at a time, and test-drive
your customer¡C■s vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Do this until the drift comes back.
Replace the bad tire(s), then return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec using the donor vehicle tires, contact Tech Line for further action.

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.

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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 1072
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.

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.

NOTE:
Do this repair procedure if, after doing step 10 of the test-drive, the vehicle pulled in the opposite
direction after you swapped the front tires.
1. Swap wheels 2 and 4 on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 2, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, put wheels 2 and 4 back to their original positions, and go to step 2.
2. Swap wheels 1 and 3 on the driver's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 1, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, use a known-good tire in position 1 and continue diagnosis.
3. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.

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.

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

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.

^ 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.

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.

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 1080
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.
12. Test-drive your customer¡C■s vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap the tires back to the donor vehicle one at a time, and test-drive
your customer¡C■s vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Do this until the drift comes back.
Replace the bad tire(s), then return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec using the donor vehicle tires, contact Tech Line for further action.

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: 205/70R15 95S
Tire pressure:
Front/rear: 180 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 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
manufacture'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°45' ± 1°
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. 1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and
make sure it is securely supported. Remove the front wheels.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 1094
2. Loosen the damper pinch nuts and bolts (A), and adjust the camber by moving the bottom of the
damper within the range of the damper pinch bolt
free play.
3. Tighten the nuts to the specified torque. 4. Reinstall the front wheels. Lower the front of the
vehicle to the ground, and bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension. 5. Check
the camber angle. If it is within the specification, check the front toe. If it is not within the
specification, go to step 6. 6. Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
Remove the front wheels.
7. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle.
NOTE: The camber angle can be adjusted up to ±15' (center of tolerance) by replacing one damper
pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt. The camber angle can be adjusted up to ±30' by replacing both
upper and lower damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts.
8. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque. 9. Reinstall the front wheels. Lower the front of the
vehicle to the ground, and bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension.
10. Check the camber angle. If it is within the specification, check the front toe, and adjust it if
necessary. If it is not within the specification, readjust
it, and recheck. If the camber angle cannot be adjusted to the specification, check for bent or
damaged suspension components.
Rear 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, check for bent or damaged suspension components. Rear camber angle: -1°00'±
45'
NOTICE: Do not loosen the special bolts on the trailing arm.
Front Toe Inspection/Adjustment 1. Center the steering wheel spokes. 2. Check the toe. If it is not
within the specification, go to step 3.
Front toe-in: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 inch)

March 1, 2005
Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Customer Assurance Program: CR-V Engine Oil Filter (Supersedes 04-077, dated December 17,
2004)
Updated information is shown by asterisks.
*As of February 28, 2005, this program is no longer in effect.*
BACKGROUND
Although it is standard industry practice to make sure the old filter's gasket is removed from the
engine block mounting surface before a new filter is installed, we are aware of several instances
where this procedure was not properly followed during the first oil filter change.
The result has been oil leakage and, in some cases, engine compartment fires.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
To see if an in-stock new vehicle has already been corrected, do an iN VIN status inquiry.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles were mailed a notification letter of this program. An example of the
letter is at the end of this service bulletin.
The letter offers customers an optional oil filter inspection. To receive the inspection, these criteria
must be met:
^ The vehicle is within the affected VIN range (see VEHICLES AFFECTED).
^ The customer requests the inspection.
^ The first oil filter replacement was done within the last 30 days.
Do an inspection only if all three criteria are met.
Enclosed with the letter is an adhesive label to be used by the customer at the first oil filter change
interval only. The label can be attached to the repair order as a technician reminder to return the
old filter gasket to the customer to verify it was properly removed. An example of the label is at the
end of this service bulletin.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
There are four possible corrective actions:
^ In-stock new vehicle: Replace the oil filter; top off but do not replace the engine oil.
^ Customer vehicle with a Honda oil filter: Inspect the oil filter installation.
^ Customer vehicle with a non-Honda oil filter:

Bulletins > Recalls for Oil Filter: > 04-077 > Mar > 05 > Campaign - Oil Filter Campaign Cancellation > Page 1166
Inspect the oil filter installation; strongly suggest replacing the oil filter with a Honda oil filter; if the
customer agrees, replace the oil filter, then top off but do not replace the engine oil.
^ Customer vehicle with a double-gasket condition: If a double-gasket condition is found during the
inspection, submit a digital photo of the condition, install a new oil filter, then top off but do not
replace the engine oil.

March 1, 2005
Applies To: See VEHICLES AFFECTED
Customer Assurance Program: CR-V Engine Oil Filter (Supersedes 04-077, dated December 17,
2004)
Updated information is shown by asterisks.
*As of February 28, 2005, this program is no longer in effect.*
BACKGROUND
Although it is standard industry practice to make sure the old filter's gasket is removed from the
engine block mounting surface before a new filter is installed, we are aware of several instances
where this procedure was not properly followed during the first oil filter change.
The result has been oil leakage and, in some cases, engine compartment fires.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
To see if an in-stock new vehicle has already been corrected, do an iN VIN status inquiry.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles were mailed a notification letter of this program. An example of the
letter is at the end of this service bulletin.
The letter offers customers an optional oil filter inspection. To receive the inspection, these criteria
must be met:
^ The vehicle is within the affected VIN range (see VEHICLES AFFECTED).
^ The customer requests the inspection.
^ The first oil filter replacement was done within the last 30 days.
Do an inspection only if all three criteria are met.
Enclosed with the letter is an adhesive label to be used by the customer at the first oil filter change
interval only. The label can be attached to the repair order as a technician reminder to return the
old filter gasket to the customer to verify it was properly removed. An example of the label is at the
end of this service bulletin.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
There are four possible corrective actions:
^ In-stock new vehicle: Replace the oil filter; top off but do not replace the engine oil.
^ Customer vehicle with a Honda oil filter: Inspect the oil filter installation.
^ Customer vehicle with a non-Honda oil filter:

Inspect the oil filter installation; strongly suggest replacing the oil filter with a Honda oil filter; if the
customer agrees, replace the oil filter, then top off but do not replace the engine oil.
^ Customer vehicle with a double-gasket condition: If a double-gasket condition is found during the
inspection, submit a digital photo of the condition, install a new oil filter, then top off but do not
replace the engine oil.

2. Check the A/C compressor clutch as described in the service manual.
3. If the clutch and the coil test good, remove and install them on the new compressor, or install a
new clutch and coil if needed.
4. Adjust the amount of refrigerant oil in the new A/C compressor.
NOTE:
The new compressor comes with 130 mL of SP-10 PAG oil. Calculate the amount of oil to be
drained from the new compressor for desiccant/ filter and compressor replacement.
Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the desiccant and filter, the amount of oil drained from the new compressor needs
to be reduced by 10 mL.
5. Install the new compressor, then torque its mounting bolts to 22 N.m (16 lb-ft). Connect the
discharge line, the suction line, and the condenser line
with new 0-rings, then torque the line nut and the bolts to 9.8 N.m (7.2 lb-ft). Reconnect the
compressor clutch connector.

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.

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

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.

Engine Oil: Service Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
- Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
- Do not put oily rags in pockets.
- Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
- Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly.
- First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
- Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin.
- Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help).
Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
- Do not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinner or solvents for cleaning skin.
- If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
- Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
- Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical

Applies To: ALL Vehicles With Conventional A/C Compressors
A/C Leak Detection
(Supersedes 07-030, dated June 15, 2007, to update the information marked by asterisks)
The OPTIMAX Jr. (TM)A/C Leak Detection Kit for Honda vehicles, P/N TRP124893, is a new
required tool. The kit is used to add small amounts of dye to A/C systems to help locate smaller
leaks that an electronic leak detector might not find.
When searching for leaks, always begin by using an electronic leak detector. Refer to Service
Bulletin 97-027, Denso HLD-100 Halogen Leak Detector; for tips on using this tool, then follow up
with the OPTIMAX Jr.
This new detection kit complements but does not replace the electronic detector.
The kit contains:
^ TRP8640CS, OPTIMAX Jr. (TM) cordless, fluorescent leak detection flashlight lamp (includes 3
standard AA batteries)
^ TRP38600601, (6) 0.06 oz. (1.7 g) Tracer-Stick(R) R134a/PAG A/C dye capsules with ID labels
^ TRP3887, R-134a Universal Connect Set(TM)
^ TRP120884, GLO-AWAY(TM) dye cleaner
^ TRP9940, fluorescence-enhancing glasses
^ TRP1143, (1) empty Tracer-Stick dye capsule
ORDERING INFO
*One OPTIMAX Jr. A/C Leak Detection Kit was shipped to each current dealer as a required
special tool. Additional kits and replacement capsules may be ordered through the Honda Tool and
Equipment Program. On the iN, click on Service, Service Bay, Tool and Equipment Program,
Online Catalog tab, and Air Conditioning Equipment, or call.*
NOTICE
^ Do not use leak-trace dye in any Honda hybrid vehicle equipped with a dual-scroll compressor
This can increase the chance of electric shock. The compressor is easily identified by the orange
high-voltage cable that is connected to the compressor body.
^ Only Tracer-Stick single-dose fluorescent dye capsules from Tracer Products (Tracerline(R)) are
approved for use in Honda vehicles. Other dyes contain solvents that may contaminate the
system's refrigerant oil, leading to component failure.
^ Adding excessive amounts of dye can lead to compressor damage and failure.

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.

A/C - Refrigerant Leak Detection > Page 1321
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
A/C - Refrigerant Leak Detection > Page 1322
Low ambient light conditions (a dark work area) will aid in locating the leak.
NOTE:
Not all UV lamps work well with all types of fluorescent dye. Use only the lamp provided in the kit to
inspect for leaks.
(c) Inspect the entire system. Be sure to check these locations:
^ damaged and corroded areas
^ fittings
^ hose-to-line couplings
^ refrigerant controls
^ service ports
^ brazed or welded areas
^ areas near attachment points
(d) Check for evaporator leaks by illuminating the evaporator drain tube area with the UV lamp and
glasses.
(e) After repairing a leak, remove any fluorescent residue using the GLO-AWAY dye cleaner from
the kit and hot water (follow the instructions on the bottle).

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 Seats With Side Airbags
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 after market accessories on the seat (covers, pads, seat heaters, lights, etc.).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
System Description
SRS
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), side airbags (E), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle
tensioners (J), and front impact sensors (K).
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seal 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 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 side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

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 Bell 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 inflators 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. A side 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 5 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 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 circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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.

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
complete. If it blinks five times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set each code,
drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures to set them.

Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
Lift and Support Points
NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components such as suspension or the fuel tank from the
rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall safety stands. When substantial
weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change and cause the
vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.
Frame Hoist
1. Position the hoist lift blocks (A), or safety stands, under the vehicle's front support points (B) and
rear support points (C). 2. Raise the hoist a few inches, and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is
firmly supported. 3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift points for solid contact with the
lift blocks.
Safety Stands
To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points (B and C) as for a frame
hoist. Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a
jack.
Floor Jack
1. Set the parking brake. 2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted. 3. When lifting the rear of the
vehicle, put the gearshift lever in reverse, or the automatic transmission in the P position.
4. Position the floor jack under the front jacking bracket (A) or rear jacking bracket (B), center the
jacking bracket in the jack lift platform (C), and
jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety stands under it.
5. Position the safety stands under the support points and adjust them so the vehicle is level. 6.
Lower the vehicle onto the stands.

SOURCE: Honda Service News November 2003
TITLE: Humming or Growling? Check the Wheel Bearings
APPLIES TO: 1998-04 Accord, 2001-04 CR-V, 2003 Element, 1999-04 Odyssey
SERVICE TIP: A bad front wheel bearing(s) can make a humming or growling that's easily
mistaken for a noisy bearing or gear in the A/T. Before you order a reman A/T, test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the A/T is really the problem.
Listen carefully as you accelerate and decelerate during your test-drive. Shift into neutral. Varying
throttle position and shifting into neutral changes the load on the A/T bearings and gears. If the A/T
has a bad bearing or gear, the change in load will affect its noise level. If that's what you find, then
go ahead and order a reman A/T.
If the noise level isn't affected by changes in throttle position or shifting into neutral, then the culprit
could be a bad front wheel bearing(s). Since the wheel bearings aren't mounted on shafts being
spread apart by gears, they're not affected by changes in load. Also, since Honda uses angular
contact wheel bearings, you won't normally hear a change in noise level when you swerve the
vehicle from side to side.
Hook up a STEELMAN® ChassisEAR (T/N JSP SM06600) to the front knuckles, and test-drive the
vehicle again. Refer to S/B 00-063, STEELMAN ChassisEAR Diagnostic Tool, for more info.
If you hear humming or growling from one or affected wheel bearing(s), and then test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the noise is gone.
If you don't hear any noise from the front wheel bearings, the problem could be from tire noise or
vibration. Swap the front wheels and tires with a known-good vehicle. Testdrive the vehicle, and
check if the noise or vibration goes away.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Jump Starting > System Information > Service and Repair > Page 1475
Be sure to first disconnect the negative cable from the vehicle with the discharged battery.

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 only way to
transport the vehicle.
To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with towing hooks (A) and tie down
hooks (B).
The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down
hooks slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the truck.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear)
and lifts them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground. Never tow the vehicle
with wheel lift equipment.
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. This method of towing the CR-V is unacceptable.
The only recommended way of towing the CR-V is on a flat-bed truck. Towing the 4WD CR-V with
only two wheels on the ground will damage parts of the 4WD system. The 2WD CR-V may also be
towed with the front wheels off the ground, or with all four wheels on the ground.
If the 2WD CR-V 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, or if the
vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, do the following:
Manual Transmission
- Release the parking brake.
- Shift the transmission to Neutral.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Towing Information > System Information > Service and Repair > Page 1479
Automatic Transmission
- Release the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Shift to the D position, then the N position.
- 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Vehicle Lifting > Component Information > Service and Repair
Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
Lift and Support Points
NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components such as suspension or the fuel tank from the
rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall safety stands. When substantial
weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change and cause the
vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.
Frame Hoist
1. Position the hoist lift blocks (A), or safety stands, under the vehicle's front support points (B) and
rear support points (C). 2. Raise the hoist a few inches, and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is
firmly supported. 3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift points for solid contact with the
lift blocks.
Safety Stands
To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points (B and C) as for a frame
hoist. Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a
jack.
Floor Jack
1. Set the parking brake. 2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted. 3. When lifting the rear of the
vehicle, put the gearshift lever in reverse, or the automatic transmission in the P position.
4. Position the floor jack under the front jacking bracket (A) or rear jacking bracket (B), center the
jacking bracket in the jack lift platform (C), and
jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety stands under it.
5. Position the safety stands under the support points and adjust them so the vehicle is level. 6.
Lower the vehicle onto the stands.

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

shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1503
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1504
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1505
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1514
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1515
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1516
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1517
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids - Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1519
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.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VTEC/VTC
- The i-VTEC has a VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in
addition to the usual VTEC. This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust
emissions at all levels of engine speed, vehicle speed, and engine load.
- The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
- The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. It changes the intake valve
timing continuously.
VTC system
- The VTC system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
- Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
- Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is
closed quickly to reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the
charging effect.
- Reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
- If a malfunction occurs, the VTC system control is disabled and the valve timing is fixed at the
fully retarded position.

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 1523
VTEC system
- The VTEC system changes the cam profile to correspond to the engine speed. It maximizes
torque at low engine speed and output at high engine speed.
- The low lift cam is used at low engine speeds, and the high lift cam is used at high engine
speeds.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Diagram Information and Instructions
Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1558
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1569
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1570
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1571
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1572
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1581
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1582
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1583
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1584
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.

Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1585
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods > Variable Valve
Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1586
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.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VTEC/VTC
- The i-VTEC has a VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in
addition to the usual VTEC. This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust
emissions at all levels of engine speed, vehicle speed, and engine load.
- The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
- The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. It changes the intake valve
timing continuously.
VTC system
- The VTC system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
- Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
- Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is
closed quickly to reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the
charging effect.
- Reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
- If a malfunction occurs, the VTC system control is disabled and the valve timing is fixed at the
fully retarded position.

VTEC system
- The VTEC system changes the cam profile to correspond to the engine speed. It maximizes
torque at low engine speed and output at high engine speed.
- The low lift cam is used at low engine speeds, and the high lift cam is used at high engine
speeds.

Balance Shaft: Technical Service Bulletins Balancer Shaft Buzz Or Rattle Is Normal
SOURCE: Honda Service News June 2004
TITLE: Balancer Shaft Buzz or Rattle Is Normal
APPLIES TO: A/T-equipped 2003-04 Accord L4s, 2002-04 CR-Vs, and 2003-04 Elements.
SERVICE TIP: Have customers complained of a buzz or rattle when the vehicle is sitting in Park or
Neutral and the engine is winding down from 3,000 to 2,000 rpm? What they're hearing is a
harmonic resonation coming from the oil pump and balancer shaft assemblies, which is a normal
characteristic of the vehicle. Don't bother replacing engine components; it won't change or reduce
this condition.

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.

SOURCE: Honda Service News June 2004
TITLE: Growl When Accelerating? Check the Left Motor Mount
APPLIES TO: 2004 CR-V with A/T
SERVICE TIP: If the left front motor mount in a isn't installed properly, you'll hear a growl when
accelerating. The motor mount, which is attached to the A/T, has rubber ears that keep the motor
mount from contacting the motor mount bracket. If the rubber ears aren't facing the right way, the
motor mount can contact the body and transmit engine and A/T noise.
To fix this problem, check the rubber ears on the left front motor mount, and make sure they're
pointing down as shown. If the ears aren't pointing down, refer to step 11 on page 5-11 of the
2002-04 CR-V S/M, and install the ears correctly. (On ISIS, use the keyword ENGINE INSTALL,
then select Engine Installation from the list.)

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.

Engine Oil: Service Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer.
Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
- Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
- Do not put oily rags in pockets.
- Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
- Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly.
- First Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
- Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin.
- Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help).
Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
- Do not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinner or solvents for cleaning skin.
- If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
- Where practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
- Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical
goggles or face shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.

Customer Assurance Program: CR-V Engine Oil Filter (Supersedes 04-077, dated December 17,
2004)
Updated information is shown by asterisks.
*As of February 28, 2005, this program is no longer in effect.*
BACKGROUND
Although it is standard industry practice to make sure the old filter's gasket is removed from the
engine block mounting surface before a new filter is installed, we are aware of several instances
where this procedure was not properly followed during the first oil filter change.
The result has been oil leakage and, in some cases, engine compartment fires.
VEHICLES AFFECTED
To see if an in-stock new vehicle has already been corrected, do an iN VIN status inquiry.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles were mailed a notification letter of this program. An example of the
letter is at the end of this service bulletin.
The letter offers customers an optional oil filter inspection. To receive the inspection, these criteria
must be met:
^ The vehicle is within the affected VIN range (see VEHICLES AFFECTED).
^ The customer requests the inspection.
^ The first oil filter replacement was done within the last 30 days.
Do an inspection only if all three criteria are met.
Enclosed with the letter is an adhesive label to be used by the customer at the first oil filter change
interval only. The label can be attached to the repair order as a technician reminder to return the
old filter gasket to the customer to verify it was properly removed. An example of the label is at the
end of this service bulletin.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
There are four possible corrective actions:
^ In-stock new vehicle: Replace the oil filter; top off but do not replace the engine oil.
^ Customer vehicle with a Honda oil filter: Inspect the oil filter installation.
^ Customer vehicle with a non-Honda oil filter:

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1748
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1759
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1760
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1761
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1762
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1771
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1772
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1773
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1774
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Warning
Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1776
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.

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

Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1802
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1813
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1814
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1815
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1816
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1825
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1826
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1827
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1828
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure
Warning Lamp/Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1830
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.

TITLE: Balancer Shaft Buzz or Rattle Is Normal
APPLIES TO: A/T-equipped 2003-04 Accord L4s, 2002-04 CR-Vs, and 2003-04 Elements.
SERVICE TIP: Have customers complained of a buzz or rattle when the vehicle is sitting in Park or
Neutral and the engine is winding down from 3,000 to 2,000 rpm? What they're hearing is a
harmonic resonation coming from the oil pump and balancer shaft assemblies, which is a normal
characteristic of the vehicle. Don't bother replacing engine components; it won't change or reduce
this condition.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1897
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1908
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1909
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1910
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1911
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1920
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1921
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1922
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1923
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1925
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.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VTEC/VTC
- The i-VTEC has a VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in
addition to the usual VTEC. This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust
emissions at all levels of engine speed, vehicle speed, and engine load.
- The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
- The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. It changes the intake valve
timing continuously.
VTC system
- The VTC system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
- Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
- Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is
closed quickly to reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the
charging effect.
- Reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
- If a malfunction occurs, the VTC system control is disabled and the valve timing is fixed at the
fully retarded position.

VTEC system
- The VTEC system changes the cam profile to correspond to the engine speed. It maximizes
torque at low engine speed and output at high engine speed.
- The low lift cam is used at low engine speeds, and the high lift cam is used at high engine
speeds.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2040
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Radiator Cooling Fan Motor: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2051
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2052
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2053
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.

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

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2063
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2064
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2065
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2066
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.

Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2067
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Radiator Cooling Fan > Radiator Cooling
Fan Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2068
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.

Engine Control Module: Service and Repair ECM/PCM Idle Learn Procedure
ECM/PCM Idle Learn Procedure
The idle learn procedure must be done so the ECM/PCM can learn the engine idle characteristics.
Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of these actions:
- Disconnect the battery.
- Replace the ECM/PCM or disconnect its connector.
- Reset the ECM/PCM.
NOTE: Erasing DTCs with the HDS does not require you to do the idle learn procedure.
- Replace the throttle body.
- Replace the idle air control (IAC) valve.
- Remove the No.6 ECU (ECM/PCM) (15A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- Remove the No.19 BATTERY (80A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- Remove PGM-FI main relay 1.
- Remove any of the wires from the under-hood fusel relay box.
- Disconnect any of the connectors from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- Disconnect the connector between the engine compartment wire harness and ECM/PCM wire
harness.
- Disconnect the G2 terminal from the transmission housing.
- Disconnect the G1 terminal from the body.
- Disconnect the G101 terminal from the cylinder head cover.
Procedure
1. Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, rear window defogger, lights, etc.) are off. 2. Start the
engine, and hold it at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or
until the engine coolant temperature
reaches 194 °F (90 °C).

ECM/PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) E0S05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good ECM/PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the ECM/PCM only if the ECM/PCM does not already have the latest software
loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the ECM/PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the ECM/PCM
NOTE:
- To ensure the latest program is installed, do an ECM/PCM update whenever the ECM/PCM is
substituted or replaced.
- You can not update an ECM/PCM with the program it already has. It will only accept a new
program.
- Before you update the ECM/PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent ECM/PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C,
power windows, moonroof, 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 ECM/PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the Honda interface module (HIM) to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under
the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the ECM/PCM update procedure as described on the HIM
label. If the software in the ECM/PCM is the latest, 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 HDS: It allows you
to start the engine. 4. After completing your tests, reinstall the original ECM/PCM and rewrite the
immobilizer code with the PCM replacement procedure in the HDS
again.
5. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.

TITLE: Got a DTC P0171? Check the Short-Term Fuel Trim
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).

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

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Secondary Oxygen Sensor
Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the three way
catalytic converter (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 ECM/PCM compares the
HO2S output with the A/F sensor output to determine catalyst efficiency. The secondary HO2S is
installed in the TWC.

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.

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.

PROGRAMMING KEYS
Depending on the type of key blank you use, do this:
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), you must code the
key's transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer
key Code Duplicator).
^ 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).
ORDERING INFORMATION
*To order the MATRIX H Key Cutting Machine, replacement cutter bits, fixed jaws and mobile jaws,
T-5 programmable key blanks, and practice key blanks, contact the Honda Tool and Equipment
Program by calling 888-424-6857 or using the fax order form provided in your Honda Tool and
Equipment Program Catalog.*
Order Honda key blanks through normal parts ordering channels.
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
None. This service bulletin is for information only.
*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.

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.

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.)

Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 2517
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.

Switches - Ignition System > Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 2518
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.)

Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 2519
^ 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.)

Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 2520
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

Idle Control System Diagram
The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the idle air control (IAC) valve:
- After the engine starts, the A/C 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 A/C valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle
speed. The amount of bypassed air is controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature.

TITLE: Got a DTC P0171? Check the Short-Term Fuel Trim
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.

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

ECM/PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) E0S05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good ECM/PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the ECM/PCM only if the ECM/PCM does not already have the latest software
loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the ECM/PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the ECM/PCM
NOTE:
- To ensure the latest program is installed, do an ECM/PCM update whenever the ECM/PCM is
substituted or replaced.
- You can not update an ECM/PCM with the program it already has. It will only accept a new
program.
- Before you update the ECM/PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent ECM/PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C,
power windows, moonroof, 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 ECM/PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the Honda interface module (HIM) to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under
the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the ECM/PCM update procedure as described on the HIM
label. If the software in the ECM/PCM is the latest, 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 HDS: It allows you
to start the engine. 4. After completing your tests, reinstall the original ECM/PCM and rewrite the
immobilizer code with the PCM replacement procedure in the HDS
again.
5. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2690
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2701
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2702
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2703
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2704
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2713
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2714
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2715
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2716
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2717
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2718
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.

Information Bus: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
The conventional portion of the electrical system carries DC 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 it's 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:
- Low Oil Pressure Indicator
- Seat Belt Reminder
- Lights-on Reminder Key-in Reminder
- Entry Light Control System
- Dash and Console Lights (brightness control)
- Wiper/Washers Keyless/Security Alarm System
- Interlock System
- HVAC

Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes
NOTE: THIS IS THE ONLY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR
READING DTCs.
Special Tool Required: MPCS Service Connector 07WAZ-001010A
1. Check the No.9 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box and the No.10 (7.5 A) fuse in the
under- dash fuse/relay box.
Are the fuses OK?
YES - Go to step 2.
NO - Find and repair the cause of the blown fuse.
2. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover. 3. Switch the ceiling light to the middle position.
Close all doors. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the driver's seatbelt is unbuckled, the beeper
will beep five times.
4. Check self-diagnosis function Mode 1 for a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) by connecting the
special tool (A) to the multiplex control inspection
connector (B). After about 5 seconds, the ignition switch light and ceiling light should come on for 2
seconds, go out, then blink once for 0.2 second. This means that you are in Mode 1 of the selfdiagnosis function.
Did the blinking lights confirm that you are in Mode 1?
YES - Count the blinks, then go to step 5.
NO - See if the SCS circuit is working properly. Go to step 6.
5. If there is a DTC, it will blink, pause, then repeat the DTC as long as the ignition switch is ON (II).
Is there a repeating DTC?
YES - Count the blinks, then go to Trouble Code Descriptions.
NO - Go to step 9.
6. Check for continuity between the inspection connector T1 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 8.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Information Bus > Component
Information > Testing and Inspection > Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes > Page 2725
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Check for continuity between the connector J of under-dash fuse/relay box No.4 terminal and
body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box. Replace and check for DTCs.
NO - Repair the open in the wire, and recheck for DTCs.
8. From Mode 1, disconnect the special tool from the multiplex control inspection connector for
about 5 to 10 seconds, then reconnect it. The ceiling
light should come on for 2 seconds, then blink twice more at 0.2 second intervals. This means the
system has gone from Mode 1 to Mode 2.
NOTE: To cancel mode 2, disconnect the SCS service connector from the multiplex control
inspection connector for more than 10 seconds or turn the ignition switch OFF.
9. Look in the table for the switches most closely related to the problem. While still in Mode 2,
operate the switches. If the circuit is OK, the ceiling
light should blink once. If the circuit is faulty, there will be no indication.
Does the ceiling light blink?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Go to step 10.
10. Check two or three other circuits listed. Does the ceiling light blink for each circuit?
YES - The additional circuits are OK. Repair the short or open in the circuit that failed the test in
step 10.
NO - Multiple failed circuits can mean that the control unit has failed without triggering a DTC. Test
a few more circuits. If they also fail, test the multiplex control unit inputs. If all the input test are OK,
substitute a known-good control unit, gauge assembly, or ECM/PCM, one at a time, then recheck.
If the system works properly, the original control unit is faulty; replace it. If there is still a
malfunction, substitute a known-good control unit for the next most likely faulty control unit, then
recheck. If the system works properly, that control unit is faulty; replace it.

11. Shift to the sleep mode:
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the key. If the control unit receives no inputs from the
inputs listed below, it will go into sleep mode after about 40 seconds.
12. Confirm the sleep mode:
Check for voltage on the YEL and WHT/GRN wires. There should be battery voltage in the sleep
mode. Check the parasitic draw at the battery while shifting into the sleep mode. Amperage should
change from about 70 to 80 mA to less than 10 mA.
13. Shift to the wake up mode:
When the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the multiplex control unit, gauge assembly, and
ECM/PCM wake up at the same time without "talking" to each other through the communication
lines. When any switch in the multiplex system is turned on, it wakes up its related control unit
which, in turn, wakes up the other units.
After confirming the sleep mode, look in the table for the switch most closely related to the problem.
Operate that switch and see if its control unit wakes up.
NOTE: If any control unit is faulty and will not wake up, several parts of the system will malfunction
at the same time.
In the table, the control unit is followed by a list of the switches and input signals that can wake it
up.
Is the wake-up function OK?
YES - Intermittent failure; the system is OK at this time.
NO - Test the multiplex control unit inputs.

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
complete. If it blinks five times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set each code,
drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures to set them.

ECM/PCM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Required
Honda Interface Module (HIM) E0S05A35570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good ECM/PCM in a troubleshooting
procedure. Update the ECM/PCM only if the ECM/PCM does not already have the latest software
loaded.
NOTE: Do not turn the ignition switch OFF while updating; the ECM/PCM can be damaged.
How to Update the ECM/PCM
NOTE:
- To ensure the latest program is installed, do an ECM/PCM update whenever the ECM/PCM is
substituted or replaced.
- You can not update an ECM/PCM with the program it already has. It will only accept a new
program.
- Before you update the ECM/PCM, make sure the vehicle's battery is fully charged.
- To prevent ECM/PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, A/C,
power windows, moonroof, 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 ECM/PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). Do not start the engine.
2. Connect the Honda interface module (HIM) to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under
the driver's side of dashboard. 3. Do the ECM/PCM update procedure as described on the HIM
label. If the software in the ECM/PCM is the latest, 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 HDS: It allows you
to start the engine. 4. After completing your tests, reinstall the original ECM/PCM and rewrite the
immobilizer code with the PCM replacement procedure in the HDS
again.
5. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.

TITLE: Got a DTC P0171? Check the Short-Term Fuel Trim
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).

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

Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the three way
catalytic converter (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 ECM/PCM compares the
HO2S output with the A/F sensor output to determine catalyst efficiency. The secondary HO2S is
installed in the TWC.

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.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Diagram Information and Instructions
Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3100
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For A Short With A Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3112
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3113
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3114
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3123
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3124
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3125
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3126
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.

> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3127
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Variable Valve Timing Actuator
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3128
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.

Variable Valve Timing Actuator: Description and Operation
VTEC/VTC
- The i-VTEC has a VTC (Variable Valve Timing Control) mechanism on the intake camshaft in
addition to the usual VTEC. This mechanism improves fuel efficiency and reduces exhaust
emissions at all levels of engine speed, vehicle speed, and engine load.
- The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.
- The VTC changes the phase of the intake camshaft via oil pressure. It changes the intake valve
timing continuously.
VTC system
- The VTC system makes continuous intake valve timing changes based on operating conditions.
- Intake valve timing is optimized to allow the engine to produce maximum power.
- Cam angle is advanced to obtain the EGR effect and reduce pumping loss. The intake valve is
closed quickly to reduce the entry of the air/fuel mixture into the intake port and improve the
charging effect.
- Reduces the cam advance at idle, stabilizes combustion, and reduces engine speed.
- If a malfunction occurs, the VTC system control is disabled and the valve timing is fixed at the
fully retarded position.

VTEC system
- The VTEC system changes the cam profile to correspond to the engine speed. It maximizes
torque at low engine speed and output at high engine speed.
- The low lift cam is used at low engine speeds, and the high lift cam is used at high engine
speeds.

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.

EVAP Two Way Valve and EVAP Bypass Solenoid Valve
The EVAP two way valve is installed between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister line.
The EVAP two way valve sends fuel vapor to the EVAP canister corresponding to the pressure
inside the fuel tank and prevents excessive vacuum in the fuel tank by drawing in fresh air through
the EVAP canister. The EVAP bypass solenoid valve opens to bypass the two way valve during the
EVAP leak check.

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 the line to a T-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 fitting 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.

Clogged Line
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2004
TITLE: Got DTC P1457? Check for a Clogged EVAP Canister Purge Line.
APPLIES TO: 2002-03 CR-V
SERVICE TIP: Got a DTC P1457 [EVAP control system leakage (EVAP canister system)]? The
problem could be a clogged EVAP canister purge line. If your customer was out four-wheeling it,
there's a good possibility that mud, sand, or debris could have been sucked into the line, especially
if the EVAP canister got damaged or ripped from the vehicle or if the vehicle was plowing through
some deep, standing water.
A clogged EVAP canister purge line can delay the supply of vacuum to the fuel tank pressure
(FTP) sensor. If the FTP sensor reacts sluggishly, the voltage won't drop down fast enough, and
the ECM/PCM will set a DTC P1457 and maybe a test ID (TID) 2D.
To check for a clogged EVAP canister purge line, connect the HDS with version 1.012.023 or later
software to the 16P DLC, and run the EVAP System Function Test. If the EVAP system fails the
test, you'll need to troubleshoot and repair the problem. If the EVAP system passes the test, then
follow these steps to check for a clog in the purge line from the EVAP canister to the engine:
1. Disconnect the purge hose at the EVAP canister, and attach a vacuum gauge to the hose.
2. Start the engine, and activate the purge control valve by back-probing and grounding the
YEL/BLU wire. Watch the vacuum gauge.
- If the gauge needle instantly reads the manifold vacuum, then the purge valve is clear. Reconnect
the purge hose to the EVAP canister, and look for other possible causes.
- If the gauge needle doesn't instantly read the manifold vacuum, then the purge control valve
could be clogged. Go to step 3.
3. Disconnect the hose between the EVAP test port and the purge control valve. Attach a vacuum
gauge to the test port end of the hose.
4. Activate the purge control valve by backprobing and grounding the YEL/BLU wire. Watch the
vacuum gauge.
- If the gauge needle instantly reads the manifold vacuum, then clean or replace the EVAP test
port, the purge line to the rear of the vehicle, or both.
- If the gauge needle doesn't instantly read the manifold vacuum, then look for a clogged purge
control valve port in the intake manifold. If the port is clear, then replace the purge control valve,
and retest.

Throttle Body: All Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Stuck In Park After Throttle Body Replacement
SOURCE: Honda Service News July 2004
TITLE: A/T Stuck in Park After Throttle Body Replacement
APPLIES TO: A/T-equipped 2003-04 Accords, 2002-04 CR-Vs, and 2003-04 Elements.
SERVICE TIP: Has this happened to you? You've replaced the throttle body, now you start the
engine, but the A/T won't shift out of Park.
If this situation strikes an all-too-familiar chord, it could be that the PCM needs to learn the relative
throttle position. This is a learned value, just like idle learn. To make this happen, here's what you
do:
1. Connect the HDS with version 1.012.023 or later software to the 16P DLC.
2. With the engine turned off, check the TPS sensor voltage and the relative throttle position. The
TPS sensor voltage should read 0.49 volt; the relative throttle position should read 0 %.
If both the TPS sensor voltage and the throttle position are OK, then continue with normal
troubleshooting.
If the TPS sensor voltage doesn't read 0.49 volt, go to step 3.
If the relative throttle position doesn¡C■t read 0%, go to step 4.
3. TPS sensor voltage greater than 0.49 volt: Check the adjustment of the cruise control and
throttle cables. If the cables are properly adjusted, then replace the throttle body, and retest. TPS
sensor voltage less than 0.49 volt: Replace the throttle body, and retest.
4. Reset the PCM with the HDS, then do the idle learn procedure.

Throttle Body: Testing and Inspection
Throttle Body Test
NOTE:
- Do not adjust the throttle stop screw. It is preset at the factory.
- if the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) has been reported on, check for diagnostic trouble codes
(DTCs).
1. With the engine off, check the throttle cable movement. The cable should move without binding
or sticking.
- If the cable operates OK, go to step 2.
- If the cable binds or sticks, check it and its routing.
- If the cable is faulty, reroute it or replace it, and adjust it, then go to step 2.
2. Operate the throttle lever by hand to see if the throttle valve and/or shaft are too loose or too
tight.
- If there is excessive play in the throttle valve shaft, or any binding in the throttle valve at the fully
closed or fully opened position, replace the throttle body.
- If the throttle valve and shaft are OK, go to step 3.
3. Connect the scan tool or the HDS to the data link connector (DLC). 4. Turn the ignition switch
ON (II). 5. Check the throttle position with the scan tool or the HDS. The reading should be about
10 % or 0.5 V when the throttle is fully closed and about
90 % or 4.5 V when the throttle is fully opened. If the throttle position is correct, the throttle body is OK.
- If the throttle position is not correct, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the TP
sensor and the ECM/PCM. If the connections and terminals are OK, replace the throttle body.

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.

PROGRAMMING KEYS
Depending on the type of key blank you use, do this:
^ If you have used a T-5 programmable key blank ("T-5" stamped on the shank), you must code the
key's transponder with the Ilco Immobilizer Key Code Duplicator (see S/B 99-053, Ilco Immobilizer
key Code Duplicator).
^ 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).

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
None. This service bulletin is for information only.
*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.

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 > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Starting System Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 3578
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.)

Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Starting System Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 3579
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.

Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Starting System Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 3580
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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Ignition System > Sensors and Switches - Ignition System >
Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Starting System Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 3581
^ 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.)

Ignition Switch > Ignition Switch Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Starting System Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 3582
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.

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.

- 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.

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.

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.

SERVICE TIP:
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to keep the torque converter in place when you're
handling or installing a reman A/T. If the torque converter slips off the mainshaft, and you don't put
it back on the shaft exactly right, you could cut the O-ring. This could result in loss of lock-up
control and ATF leakage.

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.

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

TOOL DESCRIPTION
CLEANING PROCEDURE
The cleaning procedure involves hot fluid under high pressure. Check the security of all hoses and
connections. Always wear safety glasses or a face shield, gloves, and protective clothing. If you get
ATF in your eyes or on your skin, rinse with water immediately.
Improper use of the ATF cooler cleaner can result in burns and other serious injuries.
Always wear eye protection and protective clothing, and follow all instructions in this bulletin.
1. Plug the ATF 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 cord; you would
damage the unit.
2. Flip the HEAT toggle switch to 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.)

open for at least 15 seconds to purge the lines of residual ATF.
7. Disconnect the red and blue hoses from the ATF cooler, then connect the red hose to the cooler
inlet line.
8. Connect the blue hose to the cooler outlet line.
9. Flip the MOTOR toggle switch to ON, and let the pump run for 5 minutes. While the pump is
running, open and close the air purge valve periodically.
10. Flip the MOTOR toggle switch to OFF with the air purge valve open. Leave the air purge valve
open for at least 15 seconds to purge the lines of residual ATF.
11. Disconnect the red and blue hoses from the ATF cooler lines. Connect the red and blue hoses
to each other.
12. Disconnect the shop air from the air purge valve. Disconnect and stow the coupler if used.
13. Disconnect and stow the fittings from the ATF cooler inlet and outlet lines.
14. Unplug the cooler cleaner from the 110 V outlet.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
Follow these instructions to keep the ATF cooler cleaner working properly:
*^ Replace the two magnetic nonbypass spin-on filters every 20 hours, based on hour meter
reading. For more information on filter replacement, see the
January 2008 Honda ServiceNews article, Hour Meter Tells You When to Replace ATF Cooler
Cleaner Filters.*
^ Fill the tank so the ATF is 4.5 inches from the top of the filler hole; do not overfill.
NOTE:
If the fluid level is low, the red indicator above the HEAT toggle switch comes on and the tank
heater will not work.
^ Replace the ATF in the tank when it looks dark or dirty.

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.

Transmission Cooler: Technical Service Bulletins A/T - Leak From Cooler Line Banjo Bolt
SOURCE: Honda Service News December 2003
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).

Transmission Cooler: Service and Repair
ATF Cooler Flushing
Special Tools Required Commercially Available Transmission Cooler Flusher Kent-Moore
J38405-A or equivalent
This procedure should be performed before reinstalling the transmission. 1. Check equipment for
wear and cracks before using. Replace any worn or cracked components.
2. Using the measuring cup, fill the flusher (A) with 21 ounces (approximately 2/3 full) of
biodegradable flushing fluid (J35944-20). Do not
substitute with any other fluid. Follow the handling procedure on the fluid container.
3. Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize the flusher with compressed air to 550 - 829 kPa
(5.6 - 8.45 kgf/cm2, 80 - 120 psi). The air line
should be equipped with a water trap to ensure a dry air system.
4. Hang the flusher under the vehicle. 5. Attach the flusher discharge hose (B) to the return line of
the ATF cooler using a clamp. 6. Connect the drain hose (C) to the inlet line on the ATF cooler
using a clamp. Securely clamp the opposite end of the drain hose to a bucket (D) or
floor drain.
7. With the water and air valves (A) off, attach the water and air supplies to the flusher. (Hot water if
available.) 8. Turn on the water valve for 10 seconds. If water does not flow through the cooler, it is
completely plugged, it cannot be flushed, and must be
replaced.
9. Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into the water flow. Use the wire clip to hold the
trigger down.
10. While flushing with the water and flushing fluid for 2 minutes, turn the air valve on for 5 seconds
every 15 - 20 seconds to create a surging
action. AIR PRESSURE: MAX 845 kPa (8.45 kgf/cm2, 120 psi)
11. Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger, then reverse the hoses to the cooler so you can
flush in the opposite direction. Repeat steps 8 through
10.
12. Release the trigger, and rinse the cooler with water for 1 minute. 13. Turn the water valve off
and the water supply off. 14. Turn the air valve on for 2 minutes, or until no moisture is visible
leaving the drain hose. Residual moisture in the cooler or lines can damage the
transmission.
15. Remove the flusher from the cooler line. Attach the drain hose to an ATF container. 16. Install
the transmission, and leave the drain hose attached to the cooler line. 17. Make sure the
transmission is in the P position. Fill the transmission with ATF, and run the engine for 30 seconds
or until approximately 0.95 L
(1.0 US qt., 0.8 Imp qt.) is discharged.
18. Remove the drain hose, and reconnect the cooler return hose to the transmission. 19. Refill the
transmission with ATF to the proper level.

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

TITLE: 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.

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.

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

TITLE: Keep Torque Converter on Mainshaft to Avoid Damage
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
We can't emphasize enough how important it is to keep the torque converter in place when you're
handling or installing a reman A/T. If the torque converter slips off the mainshaft, and you don't put
it back on the shaft exactly right, you could cut the O-ring. This could result in loss of lock-up
control and ATF leakage.

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.

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.

Wheel Bearing: Technical Service Bulletins Wheel Bearings - Humming Or Growling
SOURCE: Honda Service News November 2003
TITLE: Humming or Growling? Check the Wheel Bearings
APPLIES TO: 1998-04 Accord, 2001-04 CR-V, 2003 Element, 1999-04 Odyssey
SERVICE TIP: A bad front wheel bearing(s) can make a humming or growling that's easily
mistaken for a noisy bearing or gear in the A/T. Before you order a reman A/T, test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the A/T is really the problem.
Listen carefully as you accelerate and decelerate during your test-drive. Shift into neutral. Varying
throttle position and shifting into neutral changes the load on the A/T bearings and gears. If the A/T
has a bad bearing or gear, the change in load will affect its noise level. If that's what you find, then
go ahead and order a reman A/T.
If the noise level isn't affected by changes in throttle position or shifting into neutral, then the culprit
could be a bad front wheel bearing(s). Since the wheel bearings aren't mounted on shafts being
spread apart by gears, they're not affected by changes in load. Also, since Honda uses angular
contact wheel bearings, you won't normally hear a change in noise level when you swerve the
vehicle from side to side.
Hook up a STEELMAN® ChassisEAR (T/N JSP SM06600) to the front knuckles, and test-drive the
vehicle again. Refer to S/B 00-063, STEELMAN ChassisEAR Diagnostic Tool, for more info.
If you hear humming or growling from one or affected wheel bearing(s), and then test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the noise is gone.
If you don't hear any noise from the front wheel bearings, the problem could be from tire noise or
vibration. Swap the front wheels and tires with a known-good vehicle. Testdrive the vehicle, and
check if the noise or vibration goes away.

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.

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.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contact less type. The wheel sensors detect changing of
magnetic polarity on the magnetic encoder. The ABS control unit calculates the wheel speed based
on signals received from the wheel sensor.
Wheel Speed and Modulator Control
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.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Wheel Sensor Inspection
1. Remove the appropriate front driveshaft or rear driveshaft.
2. Check the magnetic encoder after cleaning the encoder. If necessary, replace the encoder. 3.
Measure the air gap between the wheel sensor and the magnetic encoder all the way around while
rotating the encoder.
Standard: Front/Rear: 0.5 - 1.5 mm (0.02 - 0.06 inch)
Note:
- Install the wheel brearing with the magnetic encoder (brown color) toward the inside of the
knuckle.
- Remove any oil, grease, dust, or other foreign material from the encoder surface.
- Be carful not to damage the encoder surface when you insert them wheel bearing.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Brake System Bleeding
NOTE: Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint,
wash it off immediately with water.
- The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of the
bleeding procedure and checked after bleeding each brake caliper. Add fluid as required.
- Do not reuse the drained fluid.
- Always use Honda DOT3 brake fluid. Non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the
life of the system. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake
fluid.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at the MAX (upper) level line (A). 2. Slide a
piece of clear plastic hose over the first bleed screw, and submerge the other end in a container of
new brake fluid. 3. Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several times, then apply steady
pressure. 4. Loosen the left-front brake bleed screw to allow air to escape from the system. Then
tighten the bleed screw securely.
5. Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequence shown until air bubbles no longer appear
in the fluid.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4731
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Brake Warning Indicator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4743
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4744
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4745
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4754
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4755
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4756
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4757
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.

> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4758
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4759
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.

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

FRONT BRAKE DISCS
The following guidelines show the Kwik-Way lathe setup, the Accu-turn lathe setup is similar.
Setting Up the Vehicle
Put the transmission in Neutral. If you are not using the power drive system, start the engine, and
let it warm up to its normal operating temperature so the idle speed will stabilize to its lowest rpm.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes - Brake Disc Refinishing Information > Page 4795
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).

P/N KWY-108006000 (for most models), P/N KWY-108007500 (Odysseys, Pilots, and Ridgelines
with two-piston calipers)
Attaching the Power Drive System
1. Make sure the drive motor assembly on the power drive system is level with the brake disc.
2. Attach the mounting yoke to the brake disc, and secure it with one of the wheel nuts. Torque the
wheel nut to the required specification (see the
appropriate service manual).

Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes - Brake Disc Refinishing Information > Page 4797
3. Attach the driveshaft on the drive motor assembly to the mounting yoke, making sure the center
line of the driveshaft is level with the spindle nut on
the wheel hub.
4. Set the lower toggle switch on the drive motor assembly to FWD (counterclockwise rotation) or
REV (clockwise rotation).
Setting Up and Adjusting the Brake Lathe
Use Kwik-Way cutting bits, P/N KWY-109109223, and the holding screws that come with them.
These bits are stamped KW and are available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program
(see ORDERING INFORMATION).
Before you use the brake lathe, inspect the tips of the cutting bits with a magnifying glass to make
sure the tips are not worn out. Each bit has three tips. If a tip is worn, rotate the bit, and use a new
tip. A worn tip produces a poor finish and may cause chattering.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Disc Brake System > Brake Rotor/Disc > Component
Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes - Brake Disc Refinishing Information > Page 4798
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Brakes - Brake Disc Refinishing Information > Page 4799
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).

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 control valve, or calipers) is leaking.
2. Start the engine with the pedal pressed. If the pedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is working
properly. 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. With the engine stopped, 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) at the booster 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. Reconnect the brake booster vacuum hose. Start the engine, and then pinch the brake booster
vacuum hose and check valve, and retest. 6. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait 30 seconds.
Press the brake pedal several times using normal pressure. When the pedal is first pressed, it
should below. 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.

Vacuum Brake Booster: 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 them 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.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contact less type. The wheel sensors detect changing of
magnetic polarity on the magnetic encoder. The ABS control unit calculates the wheel speed based
on signals received from the wheel sensor.
Wheel Speed and Modulator Control
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.

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.

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.)

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.)

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.

Ignition Switch > Page 4942
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.)

^ 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.)

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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Battery > Battery Cable > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Electrical - Battery Replacement Precautions > Page 4964
The Honda Computer Memory Saver is indeed a real time saver, but here's a word of caution:
Don't let the positive battery cable touch any body ground. It will cause a short that will either blow
the fuse in the tool or cause a drop in system voltage resulting in the loss of any data that 5 in
volatile memory.
The Honda Computer Memory Saver is available through the Honda Tool and Equipment Program.
To order one, just call and ask for FZRMS4000H.

Ignition Lock Solenoid: Description and Operation
Interlock System (A/T)
How the Circuit Works
Key Interlock
When you push the key into the ignition switch, a ground signal is provided to the multiplex control
unit. If the shift lever is in PARK, the multiplex control unit provides voltage to the key interlock
solenoid, energizing the solenoid and allowing the key to be turned to the LOCK (0) position.
Shift Position Interlock
Battery voltage is supplied at all times through fuse 7 to the brake pedal position switch. With the
ignition in ACC (I) or ON (II), battery voltage is supplied through fuse 8 (in the under-dash
fuse/relay box) to the shift lock solenoid. When you push the brake pedal, battery voltage is applied
through the WHT/BLK wire to the PCM. If, at the same time, you do not push the accelerator pedal,
a low voltage signal is sent through the WHT/BLU wire to the multiplex control unit. The multiplex
control unit then applies ground through the YEL/BLK wire to the shift lock solenoid. The solenoid
is then energized allowing the shift lever to be moved from the PARK position.

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.

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.)

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 5007
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.)

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Starting System - Unable To Key In Ignition Switch > Page 5008
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.

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.)

^ 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.)

Dead Power Socket? Keep Electrical Load Below Max
NOTE: This article applies to Japan-built 03-06 Accords, '05-06 Civic Hybrids, '02-6 CR-Vs, and
'04-06 Insights. The accessory power socket is made to handle a maximum electrical load of 120
watts (10 amps). Exceed that limit over a period of time, and the socket could overheat and cause
an open circuit.
If you've got a vehicle in your shop with a dead accessory power socket, check for continuity
between the center contact and the wire terminal. If you find an open circuit, remind your service
customer to keep the electrical load below 120 watts or the problem could wind up happening
again.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5055
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM

1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes 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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5067
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5068
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5069
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5078
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5080
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5081
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5082
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5083
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.

Multiple Junction Connector: Service and Repair How To Replace Connector Terminals
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.

Multiple Junction Connector: Service and Repair 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.
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.

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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
8. Put the splice connector in the proper size slot in the Crimper Tool, slide it to one end (where the

Dead Power Socket? Keep Electrical Load Below Max
NOTE: This article applies to Japan-built 03-06 Accords, '05-06 Civic Hybrids, '02-6 CR-Vs, and
'04-06 Insights. The accessory power socket is made to handle a maximum electrical load of 120
watts (10 amps). Exceed that limit over a period of time, and the socket could overheat and cause
an open circuit.
If you've got a vehicle in your shop with a dead accessory power socket, check for continuity
between the center contact and the wire terminal. If you find an open circuit, remind your service
customer to keep the electrical load below 120 watts or the problem could wind up happening
again.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5178
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Auxiliary Power Outlet: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5189
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5190
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5191
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5192
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5201
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5202
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5203
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Auxiliary Power Outlet > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5204
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5206
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.

Multiple Junction Connector: Service and Repair How To Replace Connector Terminals
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.

Multiple Junction Connector: Service and Repair 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.
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Multiple Junction Connector > Component Information >
Service and Repair > How To Replace Connector Terminals > Page 5256
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.
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.

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
the same location; the resulting "lump" of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Multiple Junction Connector > Component Information >
Service and Repair > How To Replace Connector Terminals > Page 5258
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
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.

*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.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE:
Do this repair procedure if, after doing step 10 of the test-drive, the vehicle pulled in the opposite
direction after you swapped the front tires.
1. Swap wheels 2 and 4 on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 2, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, put wheels 2 and 4 back to their original positions, and go to step 2.
2. Swap wheels 1 and 3 on the driver's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 1, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, use a known-good tire in position 1 and continue diagnosis.
3. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.

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.

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

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.

^ If the wheels are pointed to the right, shorten the driver's side tie-rod, and lengthen the
passenger's side.
^ If the wheels are pointed to the left, shorten the passenger's side tie-rod, and lengthen the
driver's side.
^ Each 360° turn of the tie-rod equals about 8 mm of steering wheel adjustment. For example, a
steering wheel is off-center by 4 mm with the front wheels pointed right (when the steering wheel is
centered). To correct the off-center, shorten the driver's side tie-rod by a half-turn, and lengthen the
passenger's side tie-rod by a half-turn.
4. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.

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

2. Check the A/C compressor clutch as described in the service manual.
3. If the clutch and the coil test good, remove and install them on the new compressor, or install a
new clutch and coil if needed.
4. Adjust the amount of refrigerant oil in the new A/C compressor.
NOTE:
The new compressor comes with 130 mL of SP-10 PAG oil. Calculate the amount of oil to be
drained from the new compressor for desiccant/ filter and compressor replacement.
Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the desiccant and filter, the amount of oil drained from the new compressor needs
to be reduced by 10 mL.
5. Install the new compressor, then torque its mounting bolts to 22 N.m (16 lb-ft). Connect the

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

Diagnostic Trouble Code:
To create the 15-digit DTC, see the applicable repair procedure.
Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill
consideration by the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request
consideration, and get a decision, before starting work.
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.

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.

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.

Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5354
NOTE:
Do this repair procedure if, after doing step 10 of the test-drive, the vehicle pulled in the opposite
direction after you swapped the front tires.
1. Swap wheels 2 and 4 on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 2, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, put wheels 2 and 4 back to their original positions, and go to step 2.
2. Swap wheels 1 and 3 on the driver's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 1, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, use a known-good tire in position 1 and continue diagnosis.
3. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
REPAIR PROCEDURE B
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5355
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.

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

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.

^ 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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5359
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.
12. Test-drive your customer¡C■s vehicle on the same road you used earlier.
- If the drift is now within spec, swap the tires back to the donor vehicle one at a time, and test-drive
your customer¡C■s vehicle on the same road you used earlier. Do this until the drift comes back.
Replace the bad tire(s), then return the vehicle to your customer.
- If the drift is still out of spec using the donor vehicle tires, contact Tech Line for further action.

*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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5361
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5362
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.
The steering wheel offset gauge is a sticker that attaches to the steering wheel and the steering
column cover. Place the sticker on the steering wheel when the steering wheel is straight. When
you test-drive the vehicle, you can read how many millimeters the steering wheel is off-center.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is pulling, repairing the pull may correct the steering wheel offset.

Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5364
NOTE:
Do this repair procedure if, after doing step 10 of the test-drive, the vehicle pulled in the opposite
direction after you swapped the front tires.
1. Swap wheels 2 and 4 on the passenger's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 2, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, put wheels 2 and 4 back to their original positions, and go to step 2.
2. Swap wheels 1 and 3 on the driver's side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 1, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, use a known-good tire in position 1 and continue diagnosis.
3. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
REPAIR PROCEDURE B
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All
Other Service Bulletins for Alignment: > Page 5365
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.

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

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.

^ 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

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: 205/70R15 95S
Tire pressure:
Front/rear: 180 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm2, 26 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
manufacture'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°45' ± 1°
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. 1. Raise the front of the vehicle, and
make sure it is securely supported. Remove the front wheels.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 5373
2. Loosen the damper pinch nuts and bolts (A), and adjust the camber by moving the bottom of the
damper within the range of the damper pinch bolt
free play.
3. Tighten the nuts to the specified torque. 4. Reinstall the front wheels. Lower the front of the
vehicle to the ground, and bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension. 5. Check
the camber angle. If it is within the specification, check the front toe. If it is not within the
specification, go to step 6. 6. Raise the front of the vehicle, and make sure it is securely supported.
Remove the front wheels.
7. Replace the damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts (A), and adjust the camber angle.
NOTE: The camber angle can be adjusted up to ±15' (center of tolerance) by replacing one damper
pinch bolt with the adjusting bolt. The camber angle can be adjusted up to ±30' by replacing both
upper and lower damper pinch bolts with the adjusting bolts.
8. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque. 9. Reinstall the front wheels. Lower the front of the
vehicle to the ground, and bounce the vehicle several times to stabilize the suspension.
10. Check the camber angle. If it is within the specification, check the front toe, and adjust it if
necessary. If it is not within the specification, readjust
it, and recheck. If the camber angle cannot be adjusted to the specification, check for bent or
damaged suspension components.
Rear 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, check for bent or damaged suspension components. Rear camber angle: -1°00'±
45'
NOTICE: Do not loosen the special bolts on the trailing arm.
Front Toe Inspection/Adjustment 1. Center the steering wheel spokes. 2. Check the toe. If it is not
within the specification, go to step 3.
Front toe-in: 0 ± 2 mm (0 ± 0.08 inch)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Alignment > System Information > Specifications > Page 5374
3. Loosen the locknut (A) while holding the tie-rod end (B). 4. Turn the tie-rod arm (C) until the toe
is correct.
NOTE: Adjust both the right and left wheels at the same time by the same amount in opposite
directions to obtain the correct toe and to keep the steering wheel straight.
5. After adjusting, tighten the locknut while holding the tie-rod arm. Make sure the toe setting does
not change.
Rear Toe Inspection/Adjustment 1. Release the parking brake. 2. Check the toe. If it is not within
the specification, go to step 3.
Rear toe-in: 2 [+2 -1] mm (0.08 [+0.08 -0.04] inch)
3. Loosen the self-locking nut (A) while holding the adjusting bolt (B).
NOTICE: Do not loosen the special bolts (C) on the trailing arm.
4. Replace the self-locking nut with a new one, and lightly tighten.
NOTE: Always use a new self-locking nut whenever it has been loosened.
5. Turn the adjusting bolt until the toe is correct.
Rear toe-in: 2 [+2 -1] mm (0.08 [+0.08 -1] inch)
6. Tighten the self-locking nut to the specified torque while holding the adjusting bolt.
Turning Angle 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.

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.

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 after market accessories on the seat (covers, pads, seat heaters, lights, etc.).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
System Description
SRS
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), side airbags (E), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle
tensioners (J), and front impact sensors (K).
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seal 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 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 side airbag will deploy in a side impact.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Column > Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming >
System Information > Description and Operation > Seats With Side Airbags > Page 5437
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 Bell 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 inflators 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. A side 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 5 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 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 circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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.

Technical Service Bulletins > Wheel Bearings - Humming Or Growling
Wheel Bearing: Technical Service Bulletins Wheel Bearings - Humming Or Growling
SOURCE: Honda Service News November 2003
TITLE: Humming or Growling? Check the Wheel Bearings
APPLIES TO: 1998-04 Accord, 2001-04 CR-V, 2003 Element, 1999-04 Odyssey
SERVICE TIP: A bad front wheel bearing(s) can make a humming or growling that's easily
mistaken for a noisy bearing or gear in the A/T. Before you order a reman A/T, test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the A/T is really the problem.
Listen carefully as you accelerate and decelerate during your test-drive. Shift into neutral. Varying
throttle position and shifting into neutral changes the load on the A/T bearings and gears. If the A/T
has a bad bearing or gear, the change in load will affect its noise level. If that's what you find, then
go ahead and order a reman A/T.
If the noise level isn't affected by changes in throttle position or shifting into neutral, then the culprit
could be a bad front wheel bearing(s). Since the wheel bearings aren't mounted on shafts being
spread apart by gears, they're not affected by changes in load. Also, since Honda uses angular
contact wheel bearings, you won't normally hear a change in noise level when you swerve the
vehicle from side to side.
Hook up a STEELMAN® ChassisEAR (T/N JSP SM06600) to the front knuckles, and test-drive the
vehicle again. Refer to S/B 00-063, STEELMAN ChassisEAR Diagnostic Tool, for more info.
If you hear humming or growling from one or affected wheel bearing(s), and then test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the noise is gone.
If you don't hear any noise from the front wheel bearings, the problem could be from tire noise or
vibration. Swap the front wheels and tires with a known-good vehicle. Testdrive the vehicle, and
check if the noise or vibration goes away.

Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair
Lift and Support Points
NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components such as suspension or the fuel tank from the
rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall safety stands. When substantial
weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change and cause the
vehicle to tip forward on the hoist.
Frame Hoist
1. Position the hoist lift blocks (A), or safety stands, under the vehicle's front support points (B) and
rear support points (C). 2. Raise the hoist a few inches, and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is
firmly supported. 3. Raise the hoist to full height, and inspect the lift points for solid contact with the
lift blocks.
Safety Stands
To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points (B and C) as for a frame
hoist. Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a
jack.
Floor Jack
1. Set the parking brake. 2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted. 3. When lifting the rear of the
vehicle, put the gearshift lever in reverse, or the automatic transmission in the P position.
4. Position the floor jack under the front jacking bracket (A) or rear jacking bracket (B), center the
jacking bracket in the jack lift platform (C), and
jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety stands under it.
5. Position the safety stands under the support points and adjust them so the vehicle is level. 6.
Lower the vehicle onto the stands.

Wheel Bearing: Technical Service Bulletins Wheel Bearings - Humming Or Growling
SOURCE: Honda Service News November 2003
TITLE: Humming or Growling? Check the Wheel Bearings
APPLIES TO: 1998-04 Accord, 2001-04 CR-V, 2003 Element, 1999-04 Odyssey
SERVICE TIP: A bad front wheel bearing(s) can make a humming or growling that's easily
mistaken for a noisy bearing or gear in the A/T. Before you order a reman A/T, test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the A/T is really the problem.
Listen carefully as you accelerate and decelerate during your test-drive. Shift into neutral. Varying
throttle position and shifting into neutral changes the load on the A/T bearings and gears. If the A/T
has a bad bearing or gear, the change in load will affect its noise level. If that's what you find, then
go ahead and order a reman A/T.
If the noise level isn't affected by changes in throttle position or shifting into neutral, then the culprit
could be a bad front wheel bearing(s). Since the wheel bearings aren't mounted on shafts being
spread apart by gears, they're not affected by changes in load. Also, since Honda uses angular
contact wheel bearings, you won't normally hear a change in noise level when you swerve the
vehicle from side to side.
Hook up a STEELMAN® ChassisEAR (T/N JSP SM06600) to the front knuckles, and test-drive the
vehicle again. Refer to S/B 00-063, STEELMAN ChassisEAR Diagnostic Tool, for more info.
If you hear humming or growling from one or affected wheel bearing(s), and then test-drive the
vehicle to make sure the noise is gone.
If you don't hear any noise from the front wheel bearings, the problem could be from tire noise or
vibration. Swap the front wheels and tires with a known-good vehicle. Testdrive the vehicle, and
check if the noise or vibration goes away.

2. Check the A/C compressor clutch as described in the service manual.
3. If the clutch and the coil test good, remove and install them on the new compressor, or install a
new clutch and coil if needed.
4. Adjust the amount of refrigerant oil in the new A/C compressor.
NOTE:
The new compressor comes with 130 mL of SP-10 PAG oil. Calculate the amount of oil to be
drained from the new compressor for desiccant/ filter and compressor replacement.
Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the desiccant and filter, the amount of oil drained from the new compressor needs
to be reduced by 10 mL.
5. Install the new compressor, then torque its mounting bolts to 22 N.m (16 lb-ft). Connect the
discharge line, the suction line, and the condenser line
with new 0-rings, then torque the line nut and the bolts to 9.8 N.m (7.2 lb-ft). Reconnect the
compressor clutch connector.

3. If the clutch and the coil test good, remove and install them on the new compressor, or install a
new clutch and coil if needed.
4. Adjust the amount of refrigerant oil in the new A/C compressor.
NOTE:
The new compressor comes with 130 mL of SP-10 PAG oil. Calculate the amount of oil to be
drained from the new compressor for the discharge hose, the condenser, the desiccant/filter and
the compressor replacement.
Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the discharge hose, condenser, and desiccant/filter, the amount of oil drained from
the new compressor needs to be reduced by 45 mL.

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

Blower Motor: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
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 12 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 unit-panel.
When the control unit-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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5801
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Condenser Fan: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5812
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5813
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5814
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5815
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5824
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5825
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5826
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 5829
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.

Condenser Fan: Description and Operation
How the Circuit Works
Voltage is provided at all times to the radiator fan relay contacts through fuse 4 and to the A/C
condenser fan relay contacts through fuse 1. With the ignition switch ON (II), voltage is provided to
the coils of the relays through fuse 14 (in the under-dash fuse/relay box).
The relays are grounded by either the radiator fan switch or by the ECM/PCM. Grounding the
relays energizes their coils and applies battery voltage to the radiator and condenser fan motors.
Both fans then run until ground is removed from the relay coils.

2. Check the A/C compressor clutch as described in the service manual.
3. If the clutch and the coil test good, remove and install them on the new compressor, or install a
new clutch and coil if needed.
4. Adjust the amount of refrigerant oil in the new A/C compressor.
NOTE:
The new compressor comes with 130 mL of SP-10 PAG oil. Calculate the amount of oil to be
drained from the new compressor for desiccant/ filter and compressor replacement.
Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the desiccant and filter, the amount of oil drained from the new compressor needs
to be reduced by 10 mL.
5. Install the new compressor, then torque its mounting bolts to 22 N.m (16 lb-ft). Connect the

new clutch and coil if needed.
4. Adjust the amount of refrigerant oil in the new A/C compressor.
NOTE:
The new compressor comes with 130 mL of SP-10 PAG oil. Calculate the amount of oil to be
drained from the new compressor for desiccant/ filter and compressor replacement.
Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the desiccant and filter, the amount of oil drained from the new compressor needs
to be reduced by 10 mL.

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.

3. If the clutch and the coil test good, remove and install them on the new compressor, or install a
new clutch and coil if needed.
4. Adjust the amount of refrigerant oil in the new A/C compressor.
NOTE:
The new compressor comes with 130 mL of SP-10 PAG oil. Calculate the amount of oil to be
drained from the new compressor for desiccant/ filter and compressor replacement.
Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the desiccant and filter, the amount of oil drained from the new compressor needs
to be reduced by 10 mL.
5. Install the new compressor, then torque its mounting bolts to 22 N.m (16 lb-ft). Connect the

Compressor: Drain the PAG oil from the failed A/C compressor into an appropriate container and
record the amount in mL. Subtract the volume of oil drained from the failed compressor from 130
mL (5-1/3 fl.oz.), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor: 130 mL (5-1/3
fl.oz.) - Volume of oil removed compressor = Volume to drain from new compressor.
NOTE:
Even if no oil is drained from the failed compressor, don't drain more than 50 mL (1-2/3 fl.oz.) from
the new compressor.
Example:
When replacing the desiccant and filter, the amount of oil drained from the new compressor needs
to be reduced by 10 mL.

A/C Leak Detection
(Supersedes 07-030, dated June 15, 2007, to update the information marked by asterisks)
The OPTIMAX Jr. (TM)A/C Leak Detection Kit for Honda vehicles, P/N TRP124893, is a new
required tool. The kit is used to add small amounts of dye to A/C systems to help locate smaller
leaks that an electronic leak detector might not find.
When searching for leaks, always begin by using an electronic leak detector. Refer to Service
Bulletin 97-027, Denso HLD-100 Halogen Leak Detector; for tips on using this tool, then follow up
with the OPTIMAX Jr.
This new detection kit complements but does not replace the electronic detector.
The kit contains:
^ TRP8640CS, OPTIMAX Jr. (TM) cordless, fluorescent leak detection flashlight lamp (includes 3
standard AA batteries)
^ TRP38600601, (6) 0.06 oz. (1.7 g) Tracer-Stick(R) R134a/PAG A/C dye capsules with ID labels
^ TRP3887, R-134a Universal Connect Set(TM)
^ TRP120884, GLO-AWAY(TM) dye cleaner
^ TRP9940, fluorescence-enhancing glasses
^ TRP1143, (1) empty Tracer-Stick dye capsule
ORDERING INFO
*One OPTIMAX Jr. A/C Leak Detection Kit was shipped to each current dealer as a required
special tool. Additional kits and replacement capsules may be ordered through the Honda Tool and
Equipment Program. On the iN, click on Service, Service Bay, Tool and Equipment Program,
Online Catalog tab, and Air Conditioning Equipment, or call.*
NOTICE
^ Do not use leak-trace dye in any Honda hybrid vehicle equipped with a dual-scroll compressor
This can increase the chance of electric shock. The compressor is easily identified by the orange
high-voltage cable that is connected to the compressor body.
^ Only Tracer-Stick single-dose fluorescent dye capsules from Tracer Products (Tracerline(R)) are
approved for use in Honda vehicles. Other dyes contain solvents that may contaminate the
system's refrigerant oil, leading to component failure.
^ Adding excessive amounts of dye can lead to compressor damage and failure.
USING THE OPTIMAX JR.

Bulletins > A/C - Refrigerant Leak Detection > Page 6019
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Refrigerant > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > A/C - Refrigerant Leak Detection > Page 6021
Low ambient light conditions (a dark work area) will aid in locating the leak.
NOTE:
Not all UV lamps work well with all types of fluorescent dye. Use only the lamp provided in the kit to
inspect for leaks.
(c) Inspect the entire system. Be sure to check these locations:
^ damaged and corroded areas
^ fittings
^ hose-to-line couplings
^ refrigerant controls
^ service ports
^ brazed or welded areas
^ areas near attachment points
(d) Check for evaporator leaks by illuminating the evaporator drain tube area with the UV lamp and
glasses.
(e) After repairing a leak, remove any fluorescent residue using the GLO-AWAY dye cleaner from
the kit and hot water (follow the instructions on the bottle).

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 side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seal 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 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 side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

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 Bell 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 inflators 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. A side 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 5 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 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 circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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 Control Module: Description and Operation
SRS Unit
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver and front passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag and front passenger's airbag.
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator 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:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and send them to the airbag inflators (and seat belt
tensioners). 3. The inflators must ignite and deploy the airbags (and activate the tensioners).

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

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.

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.
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, or seat belt tensioner is securely mounted. 3.
Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool
label.
Driver's Airbag:
4. Remove the access panel from the steering wheel, then disconnect the driver's airbag 4P
connector from the cable reel.
Front Passenger's Airbag:
5. Remove the access panel, then disconnect the front passenger's airbag 4P connector from
dashboard wire harness.
Side Airbag:
6. Disconnect the side airbag 2P connectors from the floor wire harness.
Seat belt tensioner:
7. Disconnect the seat belt tensioner 2P connectors from the floor wire harness. Pull the seat belt
out all the way and cut it.
Seat belt buckle tensioner:
8. Disconnect the seat belt buckle tensioner 4P connectors from the floor wire harness.

9. Cut off 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 each have four wires, two yellow and
two red. Twist each pair of unlike colored wires together, and connect an alligator clip to each pair.
10. 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.
11. 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 a component doesn't deploy, yet the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to
Disposal of Damaged components.
- During deployment, the airbags can become hot enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbags.
12. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A),
and seal it securely.

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 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 this 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. Cut off 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 each have four wires, two yellow and
two red. Twist each pair of unlike colored wires together, and connect an alligator clip to each pair.
4. 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.
5. 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).
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Side Air Bag > Component Information > Service and
Repair > Side Airbag > Page 6248
- If the components deploy and the green light on the tool comes on, continue with this procedure.
- If a component doesn't deploy, yet the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to
Disposal of Damaged components.
- During deployment, the airbags can become hot enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbags.
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.

Air Bag Control Module: Service Precautions
Be careful not to bump or impact the SRS unit or the side impact sensors whenever the ignition
switch is ON (II), or at least for three minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.
During installation or replacement, be careful not to bump (by impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the
area around the SRS unit and the side impact sensor. The airbags could accidentally deploy and
cause damage or injury.
After a collision in which the airbags were deployed, replace the SRS unit. After a collision in which
the side airbag was deployed, replace the side impact sensor on the side where the side airbag
deployed and the SRS unit. After a collision in which the airbags or the side airbags did not deploy,
inspect for any damage or any deformation on the SRS unit and the side impact sensors. If there is
any damage, replace the SRS unit and/or the side impact sensors.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit or the side impact sensors.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the battery negative cable and wait at least three minutes
before beginning installation or replacement of the SRS unit, and disconnect the connectors from
the SRS unit.
Be sure the SRS unit and side impact sensors are installed securely with the mounting bolts
torqued to 9.8 Nm (1.0 kg.m, 7.2 lb.ft)
Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit or the side impact sensors and keep them away from dust.
Store the SRS unit and the side impact sensors in a cool (less than 104°F / 40°C) and dry (less
than 80% relative humidity, no moisture) area.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation
SRS Unit
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help
protect the driver and front passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system
consists of the SRS unit (including safing sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's
airbag and front passenger's airbag.
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites
the inflator 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:
1. The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor. 2. The
microprocessor must compute the signals, and send them to the airbag inflators (and seat belt
tensioners). 3. The inflators must ignite and deploy the airbags (and activate the tensioners).

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

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.

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.

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 after market accessories on the seat (covers, pads, seat heaters, lights, etc.).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
System Description
SRS
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), side airbags (E), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle
tensioners (J), and front impact sensors (K).
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seal 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 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 side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Systems > Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming > System
Information > Description and Operation > Seats With Side Airbags > Page 6324
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 Bell 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 inflators 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. A side 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 5 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 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 circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation
SRS
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.

Seat Belt Tensioner: Service and Repair
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, or seat belt tensioner is securely mounted. 3.
Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly by following the check procedure on the tool
label.
Driver's Airbag:
4. Remove the access panel from the steering wheel, then disconnect the driver's airbag 4P
connector from the cable reel.
Front Passenger's Airbag:
5. Remove the access panel, then disconnect the front passenger's airbag 4P connector from
dashboard wire harness.
Side Airbag:
6. Disconnect the side airbag 2P connectors from the floor wire harness.
Seat belt tensioner:
7. Disconnect the seat belt tensioner 2P connectors from the floor wire harness. Pull the seat belt
out all the way and cut it.
Seat belt buckle tensioner:
8. Disconnect the seat belt buckle tensioner 4P connectors from the floor wire harness.

9. Cut off 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 each have four wires, two yellow and
two red. Twist each pair of unlike colored wires together, and connect an alligator clip to each pair.
10. 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.
11. 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 a component doesn't deploy, yet the green light comes ON, its igniter is defective. Go to
Disposal of Damaged components.
- During deployment, the airbags can become hot enough to burn you. Wait 30 minutes after
deployment before touching the airbags.
12. Dispose of the complete airbag. No part of it can be reused. Place it in a sturdy plastic bag (A),
and seal it securely.

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

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
column cover flashes when the system is in programming mode.
3. Press the top button on the transmitter. Check that the parking lights flash to confirm that the
transmitter's code was accepted.
4. Press the top button on each of the remaining transmitters. Check that the parking lights flash
after each transmitter code is accepted.
5. Release the Valet-Disarm button to exit the programming mode.

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.

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.

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
column cover flashes when the system is in programming mode.
3. Press the top button on the transmitter. Check that the parking lights flash to confirm that the
transmitter's code was accepted.
4. Press the top button on each of the remaining transmitters. Check that the parking lights flash
after each transmitter code is accepted.
5. Release the Valet-Disarm button to exit the programming mode.

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.

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 only way to
transport the vehicle.
To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with towing hooks (A) and tie down
hooks (B).
The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down
hooks slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the truck.
Wheel Lift Equipment - The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear)
and lifts them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground. Never tow the vehicle
with wheel lift equipment.
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. This method of towing the CR-V is unacceptable.
The only recommended way of towing the CR-V is on a flat-bed truck. Towing the 4WD CR-V with
only two wheels on the ground will damage parts of the 4WD system. The 2WD CR-V may also be
towed with the front wheels off the ground, or with all four wheels on the ground.
If the 2WD CR-V 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, or if the
vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, do the following:
Manual Transmission
- Release the parking brake.
- Shift the transmission to Neutral.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Towing Information >
System Information > Service and Repair > Page 6667
Automatic Transmission
- Release the parking brake.
- Start the engine.
- Shift to the D position, then the N position.
- 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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6673
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Trailer Connector: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6684
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6685
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6686
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6687
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6696
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6697
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6698
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6699
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Connector >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6701
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6710
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Trailer Lamps: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM

Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6721
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6722
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6723
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6724
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6733
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6734
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6735
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6736
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Lamps > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6738
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6747
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Trailer Connector: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6758
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6759
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6760
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6761
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6770
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6772
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6773
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Trailer Connector > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 6775
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.

Door and Bumper Reinforcement Beams
Door and bumper reinforcement beams used on Honda vehicles are made from a metal equivalent
to High Strength Steel (HSS).
If HSS is heated, the strength of the steel will be reduced. If HSS 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.

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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Fuel Door > Fuel Door Lock Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6883
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.)

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6884
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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6885
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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Fuel Door > Fuel Door Lock Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6886
^ 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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Fuel Door > Fuel Door Lock Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6887
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

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
None. This service bulletin is for information only.
*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.

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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Trunk / Liftgate > Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6948
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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Trunk / Liftgate > Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6949
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.

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6950
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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Trunk / Liftgate > Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder >
Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6951
^ 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.)

Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 6952
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7036
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Console Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7047
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7048
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7049
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7050
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7059
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7060
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7061
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7062
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.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7063
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Console > Console Lamp > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7064
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.

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.)

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.)

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7075
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.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7076
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.)

^ 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.)

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.

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.

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 after market accessories on the seat (covers, pads, seat heaters, lights, etc.).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
System Description
SRS
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), side airbags (E), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle
tensioners (J), and front impact sensors (K).
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seal 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 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 side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

Arming and Disarming > System Information > Description and Operation > Seats With Side Airbags > Page 7093
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 Bell 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 inflators 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. A side 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 5 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 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 circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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.)

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.)

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.

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.)

^ 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.)

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

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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Door Locks > Door Lock Cylinder > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7145
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.)

Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7146
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.

Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7147
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.)

Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7148
^ 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.)

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.

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.

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
column cover flashes when the system is in programming mode.
3. Press the top button on the transmitter. Check that the parking lights flash to confirm that the
transmitter's code was accepted.
4. Press the top button on each of the remaining transmitters. Check that the parking lights flash
after each transmitter code is accepted.
5. Release the Valet-Disarm button to exit the programming mode.

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.

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.

^ 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.

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

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
None. This service bulletin is for information only.
*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.

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.)

Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7277
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.)

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7279
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.)
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7280
^ 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.)
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Trunk / Liftgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information >
Technical Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7281
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.

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

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Paint, Striping and Decals > Paint > System Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Paint - Industrial Fallout Paint Damage > Page 7303
5. Check your work by running your fingers over the cleaned and lubricated surface to feel for any
remaining contamination.
^ If you feel any particles on the cleaned surface fold the clay in half, knead it back into a disk
shape, clean the section again, and recheck your work.
^ If the cleaned surface feels smooth, fold the clay in half, knead it back into a disk shape, and go
to step 6.
NOTE:
You must carefully fold and knead the clay to keep a clean side next to the paint surface. Never
use clay that has fallen on the ground. Any small pieces of dirt or sand that imbed in the clay will
scratch the paint surface. If the clay falls on the ground, discard it and get a fresh piece.
6. Clean the remaining sections of the sprayed area (repeat steps 4 and 5).
7. Wipe the lubricant from all the cleaned sections with a clean terry cloth towel.
8. Clean the rest of the affected panel and any additional panels that need cleaning (repeat steps 3
thru 7).
9. Apply the manufacturer's recommended wax or glaze to all the cleaned panels.

General
General
The 3-coat-3-bake (3C-3B) paint finishes give the CR-V a deep gloss and stunning finish.This
provides information on paint defect, 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 acylic 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.

Paint: Service and Repair Soft Chipping Guard Primer Coat
General
The removal of paint and undercoating by stone chips immediately exposes metal to the
atmosphere, causing it to oxidize.The thickness of this oxidation increases if the process continues
unchecked.The soft chipping guard primer protects against damage due to the impact of such
objects.
- The soft chipping guard primer coat is applied over the E-D. (Electrostatically Deposited) primer. It
is followed by guide coating and top coating.
- The soft chipping guard primer produces a smooth surface when dry.It should be sprayed so the
thickness of the protective film is 20 microns.
Basic Rules for Repairing a Soft Chipping Guard Primer Coat:
- Soft chipping guard primer coat is then applied to the most susceptible area.
- Spray the primer surface (2-part urethane primer surfacer) on the soft chipping guard primer
coating areas when you replaced parts using soft chipping guard primer coat.
WARNING: Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
- Ventilate when spraying undercoat.
1. Sanding the replacement part.
Use a double action sander and #400 disc sandpaper.
NOTE: Do not oversand the edges or corners of the part.
- Do not expose base metal.
2. Air blowing/degreasing
Use alcohol, and wax and grease remover.
3. Masking
Use masking tape and paper.

Repair > Body Paint > Page 7335
4. Spraying primer surfacer
- Spray about 4 to 5 coats to get 20 microns of thickness. One coat deposits about 5 to 7 microns.
- Do not try to cover the surface with one heavy coat. Apply several thin coats is recommended.
- Use a 2-part urethane primer surfacer and a spray gun.
- Mix the primer surfacer with the additive and solvent, and in the correct ratio.
- Follow the primer surfacer manufacturer's instructions.
5. Drying
After spraying primer surfacer, allow 7 to 10 minutes of drying time, then force dry it with infrared
lamps or an industrial dryer.
6. Polishing
Check the primer surfacer has dried thoroughly, then sand the primer surfacer.
Use a double action sander and #400~#600 disc sandpaper.

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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7451
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Seat Heater: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7462
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7463
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7464
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7465
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7474
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7475
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7476
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7477
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.

Information and Instructions > Page 7478
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Seats > Seat Heater > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7479
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.

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.

TRACER AND CUTTER BIT INSTALLATION
1. Turn the power switch on the back of the machine to ON. (This turns on the built-in work light.)
2. Use the Allen wrench from the built-in tool drawer to loosen the setscrew on the left sleeve of the
vertical carriage. Slide the tracer all the way into the sleeve, and tighten the screw.
3. Turn the plastic shield on the right sleeve of the vertical carriage so you can access the setscrew
on the sleeve. Use the Allen wrench to loosen the screw. Slide the cutter bit all the way into the
sleeve, and tighten the screw. Turn the plastic shield so the open side is in the back.

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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Tailgate > Tailgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7580
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.)

Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Tailgate > Tailgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7581
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Tailgate > Tailgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7582
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.)
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Tailgate > Tailgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7583
^ 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.)
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Tailgate > Tailgate Lock Cylinder > Component Information > Technical
Service Bulletins > Ignition/Locks - Cutting Sidewinder-Type Keys > Page 7584
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7648
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Brake Warning Indicator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7659
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7660
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7661
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7662
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7671
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7672
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7673
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7674
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7675
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7676
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7686
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Cigarette Lighter: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7697
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7698
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7699
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7700
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7709
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7710
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7711
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7712
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7713
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7714
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.

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.

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 after market accessories on the seat (covers, pads, seat heaters, lights, etc.).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
System Description
SRS
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), side airbags (E), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle
tensioners (J), and front impact sensors (K).
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seal 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 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

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 Bell 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 inflators 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. A side 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 5 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 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 circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Dimmer Switch > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7742
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

Dimmer Switch: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Dimmer Switch > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7753
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Dimmer Switch > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7754
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Dimmer Switch > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7755
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Dimmer Switch > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7756
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Dimmer Switch > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7767
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7768
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.

> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7769
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Dimmer Switch > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7770
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.

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 after market accessories on the seat (covers, pads, seat heaters, lights, etc.).

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Description and Operation SRS Components
System Description
SRS
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), side airbags (E), seat belt tensioners (I), seat belt buckle
tensioners (J), and front impact sensors (K).
Side Airbags
The side airbags (E) are in each front seat-back. They help protect the upper torso of the driver or
front seal 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 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 side airbag will deploy in a side impact.

Arming and Disarming > System Information > Description and Operation > Seats With Side Airbags > Page 7798
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 Bell 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 inflators 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. A side 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 5 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 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 circuit. This information can be read with the
Honda PGM Tester when it is connected to the data link connector (DLC).

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
complete. If it blinks five times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set each code,
drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures to set them.

(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.

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.

Warranty Extension: Vehicle Warranty Mileage
(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.

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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7860
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7871
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7872
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7873
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7874
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7883
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7884
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7885
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7886
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7888
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.

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

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7904
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Dimmer Switch: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7915
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7916
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7917
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7918
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7927
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7928
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7929
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7930
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Sensors and Switches - Instrument Panel
> Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 7932
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7980
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Brake Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7991
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7992
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7993
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 7994
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8003
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8005
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Information and Instructions > Page 8006
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8008
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Console Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8036
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Console Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Console Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8047
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Console Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8048
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Console Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8049
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Console Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8050
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8059
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Console Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8061
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8062
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.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8063
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Console Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8064
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8113
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Dimmer Switch: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Information and Instructions > Page 8124
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8125
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8126
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8127
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8136
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8137
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8138
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8139
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.

Information and Instructions > Page 8140
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dimmer Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8141
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8149
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Dome Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8160
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8161
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8162
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8163
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8172
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8173
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8174
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8175
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.

Information and Instructions > Page 8176
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8177
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8223
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 /

Interior Lighting Module: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8234
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8235
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8236
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8237
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8246
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8247
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8248
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8249
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.

Information and Instructions > Page 8250
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8251
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8266
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

License Plate Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8277
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8278
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8279
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8280
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8289
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8290
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8291
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8292
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.

Information and Instructions > Page 8293
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8294
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8313
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Parking Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8324
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8325
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8326
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8327
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8336
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8337
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8338
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Information and Instructions > Page 8339
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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8341
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8372
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.
Symbols
A complete description of schematic symbols begins in Wire Color Abbreviations.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Interior Lighting Module: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8383
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8384
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8385
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8386
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8395
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.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8396
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8397
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

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.

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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Relays and Modules - Lighting and Horns > Interior Lighting Module >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 8400
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8467
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. 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.

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 is #6.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8478
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8479
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8480
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8481
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8490
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8491
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8492
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8493
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8494
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Spot Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 8495
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8507
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

Power Distribution Schematics
Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the car. Refer to the Power Distribution section to get a more detailed picture of
how power is supplied to the circuit you're working on. Individual circuit schematics begin with a

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 is #6.

Trailer Lamps: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8519
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8520
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
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 Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8521
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8530
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8531
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8532
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8533
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.

Information and Instructions > Page 8534
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Trailer Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8535
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.

Circuit Schematics
Circuit Schematics
Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit's wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top , to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8550
shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a component it serves. If
that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors
All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.
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. 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.

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

Vanity Lamp: Diagnostic Aids
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground. Also,
trace circuits that share wiring with the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same
fuse, ground, or switch, and so on, are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any
shared circuits you didn't check in step 1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and
the cause must be in the wiring used only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same
time, the fuse or ground is a likely cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit's operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you've fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Testing For A Short With A Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
Testing for a Short with a Self-Powered Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the battery and load.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) (switched to the
lowest "OHMS" range) to the fuse terminal on the
load side.
3. Connect the other lead to a known good ground. 4. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the
harness. Continue this at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
DVOM. 5. If the self-powered test light goes on or the DVOM displays a low reading or no reading
(zero), there is a short to ground in the wiring near that
point.

Information and Instructions > Page 8561
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 Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
Testing for a Short with a Short Circuit Locator (Short Finder)
1. Remove the blown fuse. Leave the battery connected.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8562
2. Connect the short finder across the battery terminals and the load (component) side of the fuse
terminal. 3. Close all switches in the circuit you're testing. 4. Turn on the short finder. This creates a
pulsing magnetic field around the wiring between the fuse box and the short. 5. Beginning at the
fuse box, slowly move the short finder along the circuit wiring. The meter will read current pulses
through sheet metal and body
trim. As long as the meter is between the fuse and the short, the needle will move with each current
pulse. Once you move the meter past the point of the short, the needle will stop moving. Check the
wiring and connectors in this area to locate the cause of the short.
Testing For Continuity
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8563
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. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you're using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing For Voltage Drop
Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8564
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
How to Replace Connector Terminals
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.

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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8573
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8574
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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8575
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.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8576
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.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8577
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.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
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 Fit 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.
Honda Cr-v 4wd Workshop Manual (L4-2.4L (2004))
Honda Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Vanity Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 8578
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.

Wiper Blade: Technical Service Bulletins Windshield Wipers - Blade Care & Replacement
SOURCE: Honda Service News
TITLE: Windshield Wiper Blade Care and Replacement
APPLIES TO: All models
SERVICE TIP:
A buildup of road film, oil, or grease on the windshield or the wiper blades can cause the wiper
blades to smear, streak, or chatter when being used. If your customers complain of this problem,
and their wiper blades are less than 6 months old, try doing this before you replace the blades:
- Use Glass Cleaner or equivalent, to thoroughly clean the windshield. Make sure you clean it well
enough so that water slides off of it, not just beads up.
- Use Windshield Washer Concentrate Cleaner & Antifreeze straight from the bottle on a soft cloth
to clean the wiper blades. This stuff contains a wetting agent that conditions the blade rubber.
If the wiper blades still smear, streak, or chatter after you've cleaned the windshield and the blades,
then blade replacement is in order. When you remove the old blade from its holder, make sure you
grab the locking end of the blade on its top and bottom (use your thumb and index finger for this).
Tug on the blade until it releases, then slide it off the holder. Don't grab the locking end from the
sides. The metal rails could come loose and you could also wind up with a nasty cut.
If the new blades don't have rails, make sure you install the rails from the old blades on the new
blades like this:
If the old rails are curved:
- Install them on the new driver's-side wiper blade with the ends bowing away from the windshield.
This makes the blade press harder against the middle of the windshield, providing a clear center of
vision for the driver.
- Install them on the new passenger's side wiper blade with the ends bowing toward the windshield.
This makes the blade press harder against the edges of the windshield to clear off any water at the
upper and lower ends of each wiper pass.
If the old rails lie flat: Install them on either new wiper blade.
If one of the new blades is shorter than the other (this is common on many vehicles), just install the
shorter blade on the driver's side.

Honda Workshop Manuals > Wiper and Washer Systems > Wiper Blade > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Windshield Wipers - Blade Care & Replacement > Page 8791
Slide the new blade into the holder, and push from behind with your thumb until you feel the tabs
snap into place. Make sure the blade is locked in place before you reinstall the blade assembly. If
it's not, the blade could come off during use and the blade assembly could scratch the windshield.
