Alternator, Regulator, Battery & Starter tester OTC3131
Available through the Honda Canada Inc. Technical
Tools Department; FAX

NOTE:  Air temperature must be within 15 38 °C (59 100 °F) during this procedure.
 After this inspection, you must reset the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module
(PCM). Otherwise, the ECM/PCM will continue to stop
the fuel injectors from operating.
 The battery must be in good condition and fully charged.
1. Connect the alternator, regulator, battery & starter tester (OTC3131) to the battery as shown.
NOTE: The probe is not used for battery testing.
2. Do the BATTERY TEST. ThebatteryisOK.Gotostep3.
If the display indicates BAD BATTERY, replace
the battery, then retest. If the display indicates
CHARGE & RETEST, charge the battery, then retest. 3. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the
data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
5. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the ECM/PCM. If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-204).
6. Select ALL INJECTORS STOP in the PGM-FI INSPECTION menu with the HDS.
7. Set the parking brake, then with the shift lever in N or P (A/T model) or the clutch pedal pressed (M/T
model), turn the ignition switch to START (III).
The starting system is OK. Go to step 14.
Go to step 8.
8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
9. Check the electrical connections at the battery, the negative battery cable to the body, the engine
ground cables, and the starter for looseness and
corrosion. Then try cranking the engine again.
Repairing the loose connection corrected the
problem. The starting system is OK. Go to step 14.
Based on the following symptoms, take the
appropriate action:
 If the starter does not crank the engine at all, go to step 10.
 If the starter cranks the engine erratically or too slowly,gotostep12.
 If the starter does not disengage from the flywheel ring gear (M/T model) or torque
converter ring gear (A/T model) when you
release the key, replace the starter, or remove
and disassemble it, and check for the following:
– Starter solenoid and switch malfunction
– Dirty drive gear or damaged overrunning clutch
Does the display indicate GOOD or GOOD, LOWCHARGE? Does t he st ar t er cr ank t he engi ne nor mal l y ?

12. Do the STARTING TEST with the alternator, regulator battery & starter tester.
NOTE: The probe is used for starter testing.
Go to step 13.
Replace the starter, or remove and
disassemble it, and check for these problems:
 Draginthestarterarmature
 Short in the armature winding
 Excessive drag in the engine
 Open circuit in starter armature commutator segments
 Excessively worn starter brushes
 Open circuit in the starter brushes
 Dirty or damaged helical splines or drive gear
 Faulty overrunning clutch
13. Remove the starter, and inspect its drive gear and the flywheel ring gear (M/T model) or the torque
converter ring gear (A/T model) for damage.
Replace any damaged parts.
14. Select ECM/PCM reset (see page 11-4) in the PGM- FI INSPECTION menu to cancel ALL INJECTORS
STOP with the HDS. 1. Disconnect the clutch interlock switch 2P connector
(A).
2. Remove the clutch interlock switch (B).
3. Check for continuity between the terminals accordingtothetable.
 If the continuity is not as specified, replace the clutch interlock switch (see page 12-8).
 If OK, install the clutch interlock switch, and adjust the pedal height (see page 12-8).

Engine Compression Inspection
NOTE: After this inspection, you must reset the engine
control module (ECM)/powertrain control module
(PCM), otherwise the ECM/PCM will continue to stop
the fuel injectors from operating. 1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (cooling fan comes on).
2. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
3. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
5. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the ECM/PCM. If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11- 204).
6. Select ALL INJECTORS STOP in the PGM-FI, INSPECTION menu with the HDS.
7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Remove the four ignition coils (see page 4-21).
9. Remove the four spark plugs.
10. Attach the compression gauge to a spark plug hole. 11. Step on the accelerator pedal to open the throttle
fully, then crank the engine with the starter motor,
and measure the compression.
12. Measure the compression on the remaining cylinders.
13. If the compression is not within specifications, check the following items, then remeasure the
compression.
 Incorrect valve clearance
 Confirmation of cam timing
 Damaged or worn cam lobes
 Damaged or worn valves and seats
 Damaged cylinder head gasket
 Damaged or worn piston rings
 Damaged or worn piston and cylinder bore
14. Remove the compression gauge from the spark plug hole.
15. Install the four spark plugs.
16. Install the four ignition coils (see page 4-21).
17. Select the ECM/PCM reset (see page 11-4) in the PGM-FI INSPECTION menu to cancel ALL
INJECTORS STOP with the HDS.

the oil level is correct do the following test:
1. With the engine stopped, remove the oil pressure switch (see page 8-9), then install an oil pressure
gauge (A).
2. Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge registers no oil pressure. Repair the problem
before continuing.
3. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (fan comes on at least twice). The pressure should
be:
4. If the oil pressure is out of specifications, inspect these items:

 Blocking of oil screen.
 Inspect the oil pressure relief valve (see page 8-15).
 Inspect the oil pump (see page 8-17). 1. Warm up the engine.
2. Remove the drain bolt (A), and drain the engine oil.
3. Reinstall the drain bolt with a new washer (B).
4. Refill the engine with the recommended oil
