Troubleshootin g Procedures
Chccking the Diagnostic Trouble Code IDTC)with an OBD ll Scan tool or Honda PGM Tester
when the PCM senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the pl indicator light in the gauge assembly willblink. When the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC) (located under the dash on the driver,s side) is connected to the OBD llScan Tool or Honda PGM Tester as shown, the scan tool or tester will indicate the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) whenthe ignition switch is turned ON{ll).
lf the El indicator light or the MIL has been reported on, or lf a driveability problem is suspected, follow this procedure:
1. Connect the OBD ll Scan Tool (conforming to SAE J19781 or Honda PGM Tester to rhe 16p DLC. (See the OBD ll ScanTool or Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific instructions. lf you are using the Honda PGM Tester, make sure itis set to the SAE DTC type.)
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (lll, and observe the DTC on the screen,3, Record all fuel and emission DTCS, A/T DTCS, and freeze data.4 lf there is a fuel and emissions DTC, first checkthe fuel and emissions system as indicated bythe DTC (except for DTCP0700). DTC P0700 means there is one or more A,/T DTC, and no problems were detected in the fuel and emissions cir-cuit of the PCM.
5. Write down the radio station oresets.
6. Reset the memory with the PGM Tester or by removing the BACK UP fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay boxfor more than 10 seconds.
7. Drive the vehicle for several minutes at speeds over 30 mph (50 km/hr), and then recheck for DTCS. lf the A"/T DTCreturns, go to the Symptom-to Component Chart on pages 14-52 and 14-53 for'96 - 98 models, and pages 14-54 and14-55 for the'99 - 00 models, lf the DTC does not return, there was an intermittent problem within the circuit. Makesure all pins and terminals in the circuit are tight, and then go to step g.
8. Reset the radio preset stations, and set the clock.

Fuel Gauge
Gauge/Sending Unit Test
!@ Do not smoke while working on tho fuel
system. Keep open tlame away trom your wotk atea.
NOTE: Refer to page 23-133 for the fuel gauge system
circuit.
'1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/
relay box before testing.
2. Remove the access panel from the floor.
ACCESS PANEL
Disconnect the 3P connector from the fuel gauge
sending unit.
Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the No. 2
terminal and the negative probe to the No. I termi-
nal, then turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
There should be between 5 and 8 V.
. lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 5.
. lf the voltage is not as specified. check for:- an open in the YEUBLK or BLK wire.- poor ground (G552).
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Attach a jumper wire between the No. 1 and No. 2
terminals, then turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
)\
23-142
1.Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts mov-
ing toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before thepoinier reaches "F" on ihe gauge dial. Failure to do
so may damage the fuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type,
hence the fuel level is continuously indicated even
when the ignition switch is OFF, and the pointer
moves more slowly than that of a bimetaltype.
. lf the pointer of the fuel gauge does not move at
all, replace the gauge.
. lf the gauge is OK. inspect the fuel gauge send-
ing unit.
Remove the fuel gauge sending unit as shown.

Low Fuel Indicator Light Test
NOTE: For the low fuel indicator circuit diagram, refer to
the gauge assembly circuit diagram (see page 23'2311.
1. Check the No. 25 (7 5 A) luse in the driver's under
dash fuse/relay box before testing
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.

Drain the luel into an approved container. Reinstall
the fueltank drain bolt with a new washer.
Add less than 4L (1 1 U.S Gal, 0.9 lmp Gal) of fuel,
and turn the ignition switch ON (ll). The low fuel
indicator light should come on within four minutes'
. lf the light comes on within four minutes, go to
step 8.
. lf the light does not come on within four min-
utes, go to step 5.
Remove the access panel lrom the Iloor'
Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the
fuel tank sending unit 3P connector.
Connect the fuel tank sending unit 3P terminals No'
1 and No. 3 with a jumPer wire
. lf the light comes on, replace the fuel gauge
sending unit (see Page 23 1421
. lf the light does not come on, check for:
- An open in the GRN/YEL wire between the
fuel gauge sending unit and the fuel gauge
- A blown bulb.- A poor ground (G552)
