*1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because itdoes not contain the proper addtuves.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affectshift quality.*3: Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 B.ake Fluid, Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease thelife of the system.'4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid-V or S. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatictransmission fluid can cause increase v,/ear and poor steering in cold weather.

Inspection and Adiustment
Brake System Rubber Parts and Brake Booster
@ Brake Boost€r
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
lf the brakes do not work properly, check the brake
booster. Replace the brake booster as an assembly if it
does not work properly or if there are signs of leakage
@ Piston cup and Pre3sure cup Inspection
. Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage,
Replace the master cylinder as an assembly if the
pedal does not work properly or if there is damage
or signs of fluid leakage.
. Check for a difference in brake pedal stroke betlveen
quick and slow brake applications, Replace the mas-
ter cylinder if there is a difference in pedal stroke.
O Brake Hoses
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
Replace the brake hose with a new one if it is darnaged
or leaking.
@ Caliper PBton Seal and Pkton Boots
Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
lf the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes drag.
or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage, disassem-
ble and inspect the brake caliper. Replace the boots
and seals with new ones whenever the brake caliper is
disassembled.

Bleeding
CAUTION:
. Oo not reuse the drsined fluid,
. Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using
a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and
decrease the lile of the system,
a Make sure no dirt or other foreign matt€t is allowed
to contaminate the brske fluid.
. Do not spill brake fluid on tho car, it may damage the
pain; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.
NOTE: The reservoir on the master cylinder must be at
the MAX (upper) level mark at the start of bleeding pro-
cedure, and checked after bleeding each brake caliper.
Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir is at
the MAX (upper) level line.

Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal sever-al times, then apply steady pressure.
Loosen the brake bleed screw to allow air to escapefrom the system. Then tighten the bleed screw se-curely.
Repeat the procedure for each wheel in the sequenceshown below, until atr bubbles no longer appear inthe fluid.
Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX(upperl level line,

4. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when removing the master cylinder.
5. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and

6. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster.
To prevent spills, cover the line joints with rags or
shoD towels.
7. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
8. Remove the lock pin and clevis pin from the clevis.
Do not disconnect the clevis by removing it from
the operating rod of the brake booster. lf the clevis
is loosened, adjust the pushrod length before
installing the brake booster.

. When connecting the brake lines, make sure that
there is no interference between the brake lines
and other parts.
. Be careful not to bend or damage the brake lines
when installing the master cylinder.
. lf replacing the master cylinder or brake booster,
check and adiust the DUshrod clearance before
installing the master cylinder (see page 19-14).
13. Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake system (see page 19-7).'14. After installation, check the brake pedal height and
brake pedal free play and adjust if necessary (see

engine vacuum supply, and maintain an engine
speed that will deliver 66 kPa (500 mmHg, 20 in.Hg)

5. With a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the gauge body and the adjusting nut as shown.

NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge body
and adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-
to-piston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clear-
ance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is
0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
rechecked.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE:
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star Iocknut securely.

Brake Booster Inspection
Functions Tgst
1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, then
depress the pedal hard and hold it for 15 seconds. ll
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally; or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator proportioning valve, orcaliper) are leaking.
Start the engine with the pedal depressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is operat-
ing normally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the
booster or check valve is faulty.
With the engine running, depress the brake pedal
lightly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back
automatic transmission creep, lf the brake pedal
sinks more than 25 mm (1.0 in.) in three minutes,
the master cylinder is faulty. A slight change inpedal 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. Depress the brake pedal with the engine running,
then stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not
vary while depressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum
booster is OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is
fau lty.
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first depressed, it should be low. On con-
secutive applications, the pedal height should grad-
ually rise. lf the pedal position does not vary, check
the booster check valve.
Boostor Ch€ck Valve T6st
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster,
Start the engine and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum available. It no vacuum is available. the check
valve is not working properly. Replace the brake
booster vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.
