Rear Brake Pads
Inspection and Replacement
Never use an air hose or dry brush to clean brakeassemblies.
Use an OsHA-apptoved vacuum cl€aner to avoidbreathing brake dust,
Block the front wheels, loosen the rear wneet nutsslightly, support the rear of the vehicle on safetystands, then remove the rear wheels.
Release the parking brake, and remove the calioersh ield.
CALIPER SHIELD
Remove the brake hose clamp bolt from the trailingarm first, then remove the two caliper mountingbolts and the caliper from the bracket.
CAUTION:
. Thoroughly clean the outside of the caliDer toprevent dust and dirt trom entering inside.. Support the calipor with a pieco of wire so thatit does not hang fuom the brake hose.

Rear Brake Disc
Disc Runout Inspection
1.Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise thevehicle, and suppon it on safety stands. Removethe front wheels.
Remove the brake pads (see page 19-24).
Inspect the disc surface for damage and cracks.Clean the disc thoaoughly, and remove a

rust.
Use wheel nuts and suitable plain washers to holdthe disc securely against the hub. then mount a dialindicator as shown. and measure the runout at10 mm (0.4 in) from the outer edge of the disc.
Brake Disc Runout:
Service Limit:0.10 mm {0.00,t in)
5. lf the disc is beyond the service limit, refinish thebrake disc,
Max. Retinishing Limit: 8.0 mm {0.31 in)
NOTE: A new disc should be refinished if its runoutis greater than 0.10 mm (0.004 in).

Inspection
1. Loosen the front wheel nuts slightly, then raise thevehicle, and support it on safety stands. Removethe front wh6els.
2. Remove the brake pads (see page j9-24).
3. Using a micrometer. measure disc thickness aterght points, approximately 45" apart and 1o mm{0.4 in) in from the outer edge of the disc. Replacethe brake disc if the smallest measurement is lessthan the max. refinishing limit.
Brake Disc Thickness:
Standard: 8.9 - 9.1 mm (0.350 - 0.358 in)Max. Rsfinishing Limit: 8.0 mm {0.31 in}

Anti-lock Brake System (ABSI
Featu res/Construction
When the brake pedal is depressed during driving, the wheels can lock before the vehicle comes to a stop, In such a case,the maneuverability of the vehicle is reduced if the front wheels are locked, and the stability of the vehicle is reduced if therear wheels are locked, creating an extremely unstable condition. The ABS precisely controls the slip rate of the wheels toensure the grip force of the tires. and it thereby ensures the maneuverbility and stability of the vehicle.Judging the vehicle speed. the ABS calculates the slip rate of the wheels based on the vehicle speed and the wheel speed,then it controls the brake fluid pressure to attain the target slip rate.

Troubleshooting Precautions
ABS Indicator Light
I The ABS indicator light comes on when the ABS control unit detects a problem in the system. However, even thoughthe system is normal, the ABs indicator light can come on, too, under the following conditions. To determine theactual cause of the problem, question the customer about the problem, taking the following conditions into consider-ation.
. Signal disturbance
. Wheel soin
. Only drive wheels rotate. Battery voltage fluctuates
2. When a problem is detected and the ABS indicator light comes on, the indicator light can stay on untat the ignitionswitch is turned off, or it can automatically go off, depending on the mode.. Lightstayson until the ignition switch isturned off;When the system is inthesvstem down mode.o Light automatically goes off:When the system is in the control inhibition mode.(refer to symptom-to-system chart)3 The ABS indicator light stays on when the system is reactivated without erasing the DTC, but it goes off after startingthe car.
when the wheel sensor system is faulty and the ABS indicator light comes on, the algorithm of the system automaticallyturns off the ABS indicator light after the wheel speed signal returns to the normal speed. while, when the DTC is erased,the CPU is reset and the ABS indicator light goes off when the system check€d out normal by the initial diagnosis.Therefore, test-drive the car after servicing the wheel sensor system, and be sure that the ABS indicator light does notcome on.
4. When the ABS control unit outputs battery voltage to the gauge assembty, the ABS indicator light goes off.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
1. The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is memorized when a problem is detected and the ABS indicator light does not gooff, or when the ABS indicator light comes on.The DTC is not memorized when the ABs indicator right comes on unress the cpU is activated.2. The memory can hold any number of DTCs. However, when the same DTc is detected twice or more, the later one iswritten over the old one.
Therefore. when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is recorded as one DTC.3. The DTCS are indicated in the order of ascending number, not in the order thev occur.4. The DTCS are memorized in the EEpROM {non-volatile memorv}.Therefore, the memorized DTCS cannot be canceled by disconnecting the battery. perform the specified orocedures toerase.
Solf-diagnosis
1. The self-diagnosis can be classifield into these four categories:' Initial diagnosis; Performed right after the engine sta rts and untiltheABs indicator light goes off.o Except ABS control: Performed when the ABS is not functioning,. During ABS control: Performed when the ABS is functioning.. During warning: Performed when the ABS indicator light is ON.2 The system performs the following controls when a problem is detected by the self-diagnosis:. ABS indicator light ON. Memory of DTC
. Mode change to the "system down mode,, or the "control inhibition mode,,.

Precautions/Procedu res
Steering-related Precautions
Stesring Wheel and Cable Reol Alignment
NOTE: To avoid misalignment of the steering wheel on
reassembly, make sure the wheels are turned straight
ahead before removing the steering wheel.
Rotate the cable reel clockwise until it stops.
Then rotate it counterclockwise {approximately two and
a half turns) until the arrow mark on the cable reel label
points straight up.

St€€rin9 Column Removal
CAUTION:
. Eefore removing thg stggring column. disconnect the
connsstor bqtween the cable r€el and th€ SRS msin
harness.
. lf the stoering column is going to be romoved with-
out dismounting th6 stoering wheel, lock the steer-
ing by turning the ignition key to o-LOCK position, or
remove the key trom the ignition switch so that the
steering wheel will not turn.
NOTE:
When the airbag and cable reel are disconnected,
don't reconnect the battery cable. lf the battery is
reconnected and the ignition switch is turned ON (ll),
the SRS unit will store this as an open in the driver's
airbag inflator, and the SRS indicator light will come
on.
For disconnecting the spring-loaded lock type con-
nector, refer to page 24-'10.
SRS MAIN HARNESS2P CONNECTOR
Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design because it will make it impossible to properly
install the airbag (only use genuine Honda replacement
parts).
After reassembly, confirm the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle
is correct. lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary,
do so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing
and repositioning the steering wheel.
