12.Apply power steering fluid to the surface of the spe-
cial tool. Set the new seal rings over the special tool
from the smaller diameter end of the tool, and
expand the seal rings. Do two rings at a time from
each end of the sleeve.
NOTE:
. Do not over-expand the seal ring. Install the resin
seal rings with care so as not to damage them.
After installation, be sure to contract the seal
rings using the specialtool (sizing tool).
. There are two types of sleeve seal rings: black
and brown. Oo not mix the different types of
sleeve seal rings as they are not compstible.
Align the special toolwith each groove in the sleeve.
and slide a sleeve seal ring into each groove.
NOTE: After installation, compress the seal rings
with your fingers temporarily.

IABS Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the vehiclespeed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration based on therate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel, and it transmits the control signal to the modulator unitsolenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has three-modes: pressure reduction, pressure retaining, and pressure intensifying.
Self-diagnosis Function
The CPUS in the ABS control unit check the circuit of the system.
The self-diagnosis can be classifield into two categories.. Initial diagnosis: Performed right after the engine starts and until the ABS indicator gose off.. Regular diagnosis: Performed right after the initial diagnosis until the ignition switch isturnedoff.
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS control unit is connected to the data link connector fi6p).The ABS system can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.

NOTE:
a Do not scrape down to the painted surface of the

NOTEr After cleaning, keep oil, grease or water from
getting on the surface.
lf the old rear window is to be reinstalled, use a put-
ty knite to scrape off alltraces of old adhesive, then
clean the rear window surlace with alcohol where
new adhesive is to be applied.
NOTE: Make sure the bonding surface is kept free
of water, oil and grease.
CAUTION: Avoid setling ths rear window on its
edges; the molding can be permanently detormed.
NOTE: Clean the shadowed area.

Handling Wires and Harnesses
I Secure wires and wire harnesses to the frame with
their respective wire ties at the designated locations.
a Remove clips carefully; don't damage their locks.
Slip pliers under the clip base and through the hole at an
angle, then squeez€ the expansion tabs to release the
clro.
sNAP-R|NG PLtERS
After installing harness clips, make sure the harness
doesn't interlere with any moving parts.
Keep wire harnesses away from exhaust pipes and
other hot parts, trom sharp edges ol brackets and
holes, and from exposed screws and bolts.

Testing and Repairs
a Do not use wires or harnesses with broken insulation.
Replace them or repair them by wrapping the break
with electrical tape.
a Atter installing parts. make sure that no wires are
oinched under them.
a When using electrical test equipment. follow the
manulacturer's instructions and those described in
this manual.
a lI possible, insert the probe of the tester {rom the wire
side {except waterproot connector).
a Seat grommets in their grooves properly.
a Use a probe with a tapered tip.
Reler to the instructions in the Honda Terminal Kit for
identification and replacement oI connector terminals.

Starting System
Performance Test
NOTE: Before starting the following checks, disconnectthe wire from terminal M, and make a connection asdescribed below using as heavy a wire as possible (prefer
ably equivalent to the wire used for the car).
Pull-in Coil Test:
Connect the battery as shown. If the starter pinion pops
out, it is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connectsd Jor morethan 1O seconds.
Hold-in Coil Test:
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. lf the pin-
ion does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connected for more
than 10 seconds.
J
Retracting Test:
Disconnect the battery negative cable. lf the pinion
retracts immediately, it is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not leave the battery connected fol more
than 1O seconds.
Starter No]oad Test:
1. Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
2. Connect the starter to the battery as shown, andconfirm that the motor starts and keeps rotating.
3 lf the electric current and motor soeed meet thespecifications when the battery voltage is at 1 1.5 V,the starter is working properly.
