Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator tan comes on).
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, see page 14-160.
2. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. start the engine, then shift to E {'97 - 98) or E {'gg - 00) position
while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
3. Repeat same test in E position ('97 - 98 models).
4. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E or E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds
shown on a flat road. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. Monitor it with the Honda PGM Tester or as follows:
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; reJer to page 14-58.
b. Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between these terminals on the PCM:
. '97 Model: Between terminals D'! (+) and A9 (-) or A22 {-}
. '98 - OO Models; Between terminals C27 (+) and 820 (-) or 822 {-)
