Set the parking brake, Start the engine, and shift the
transmission through all gears three times.
Check the shift cable adjustment (see page 14-271]-.
Check the tront wheel alignment and adjust it if
needed (see section 18).
Let the engine reach normal operating temperature
(the radiator fan comes on) with the transmission in
E or N position, then turn it off and check the ATF

Brake Pedal
Pedal Hoight
1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the
brake switch locknut, and back off the brake switch
until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Lift up the carpet, At the insulator cutout, measure
the pedal height from the middle of the right side of
the oedal pad.
BRAKE SWITCH
ERAKE SWITCH
Standard Pedal Height (with floor m8i removed):
A/T: 161 mm (5 5/16 in)
M/T: 155 mm {6 U8 in}
Loosen the pushrod locknut, and screw the pushrod
in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height
from the floor is reached. Do not adjust the pedal
height with the pushrod pressed. After adiustment,
tighten the locknut firmly.

4. Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully
pressed (threaded end touching the pad on the
pedal arm), Then back otf the switch 1/4 turn to
make 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between the
threaded end and pad. Tighten the locknut firmly.
Connect the brake switch connecto.. Make sure that
the brake lights 90 off when the pedal is released
5. Checkthe brake pedalfree play as described below
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off. inspect the free play on the
pedal pad by pushing the pedal by hand-
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm (1/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adiust
the brake switch. lf the pedal free play is insuffi-
cient, it may result in brake drag.

Parking Brake Switch Test
1. Remove the parking brake cover,
2. Disconnect the connector from the parking brakeswitch.
3. Check for continuity between the terminal and bodyground in each position according to the table.

NOTE (Canada): lf the parking brake switch is OK, butthe brake system indicator does not function, perform
the input test for the daytime running lights control unit(see section 23).
Brake Fluid Level Switch Test
1. Remove the reservoir cap. Check that the float
moves up and down freely; if it doesn't, replace the
reservoir cap assembly.
2. Check for continuity between the terminals in each

Removal/lnstallation
1, Disconnect the brake fluid level switch connectors.
2. Remove the reservoir cap from the master cylinder.
3. Remove the brake fluid from the master cvlinder
reservoir with a syringe.
4. Disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.
To prevent spills, cover the line joints with rags or
shop towels.
5. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts and
wasners.
6. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster.
CAUTION: Be careful not to bend or damage the
brake lines when removing the master cylinder.
Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may dam.
age the paint; it brake fluid does cont.ct the paint,
wash it oft immediately with water.
7. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
8. Remove the cotter 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 (see page 19-15).

11. Remove the brake booster from the enqine com-
panment.
12. Install the brake booster and master cylinder in the
reverse order of removal, and note these items:
. 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 adjust the pushrod clearance before
installing the master cylinder (see page 19-14).
Fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the
brake system (see page 19-7).
After installation, check the brake pedal height and
brake pedal free play (see page 19-5), and adjust if
necessary.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
NOTE; Do not press the brake pedal whenturningthe ignition switch.
3 Record the blinking frequency of the ABS indicator. The brinking frequency indicates the DTc.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF. and remove the SCS service connector.NOTE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) will stay on after the engine is startsd if the SCS seryica connecror rsconnected.
5. Erase the DTC.
Conditions for DTC indication. The vehicle is stopped.. The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON flt).. The brake pedal is released.. The SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure.
The DTC indication stops and the ABS control unit axecutos tha softwaro lunction if at least one of tho following condi-tions i3 satisfiod:
. The vehicle is not stoooed.. The ABS control unit receives the normal signal (which is for the ABS control unit) from a Honda pGM Tesrer.. The SCS service connector is disconnectod during this procedure.

DTC Erasure
NOTE: This operation can also be done with the Honda PGM Tester.
1. Connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector (2P) located on the passenger's side of the center
console.
2. Press the brake oedal.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) while keeping the brake pedal pressed. The ABS indicator goes off after two seconds.
4. After the indicator goes off, release the brake pedal. The indicator comes on after four seconds.
5. After the indicator comes on, press the brake pedal again. The indicator goes off again after four seconds (the brake
oedal is still Dressed.)
6. After the indicator goes off, release the brake pedal again.
7. After four seconds. the indicator blinks twice for 0.3 second and the DTC is erased.
8. Confirm the DTC indication, and check that the DTC was erased.
NOTE: Always maintain these steps. lf you disconnect the SCS service connector and/or fail to operate the brake pedal
according to the indicator indication, the DTC will not be erased.
Conditions for DTC erasure
. The vehicle is stopped.
. The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON (ll)
. The brake pedal is pressed before the ignition switch is turned ON (ll).
. The SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure.
The DTC erasure stops and the ABS control unit executes the software funqtion it at least one of the following conditions
b satisfied:
. The vehicle is not stopped.
. The SCS service connector is disconnected during this service.
. TheABScontrol unit receives the normal signal (which is for the ABS control unit) from a Honda PGM Tester.
