ABS Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the vehicle
speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration based on the
rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel, and it transmits the control signal to the modulator unit
solenoid valve when the slip rate is high
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensi{ying modes.
Self-diagnosis Function
The ABS control unit is equipped with a main cPU and a sub cPU, that check each other for problems.
The CPUs check the circuit of the system.
When the CPUS detect failure, they shift to the "system down mode" or the "control inhibition mode".
The self-diagnosis can be classitied into these four categories:
O: Initial diagnosis
O: Except ABS control
O; During ABS control
@: During warning
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS system can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding. and checking wheel sensor signals, use the Honda
PGIM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.

Self-diagnosis Function
The heater control panel has a self-diagnosis function.
Running the Self-diagnosis Function'97 mod€l:
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll), then set the mode control dial to the Vent position, and the recirculation controt switch toRecirculate {recirculation indicator light comes on). Press and hold the recirculation control switch to Fresh (recirculation indi-cator light goes off). Continue to hold the switch; the recirculation indicator light will come on for two seconds. then it willblink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate a iaulty component. lf no DTC'S are found, the indicator liqht will notblink atter the initial two second light.
'98 - 00 models:
Set the mode control dial to the Vent position, and turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Within six seconds after turning the igni-tion switch on, press the recirculation control switch the required number of times depending on the recirculation indicatorlight status:
.lftheindicatorlightisON,presstherecirculationcontrol switch five times..lftheindicatorlightisOFF,presstherecirculationcontrol switch six I|mes.The recirculation indicator light will come on for two seconds, then blink the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) to indicate afaulty component. lf no DTC'S are found, the indicator light will not blink after the initial two second liqht.
