Starter Reassembly
'1. Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, then
position the brush about halfway out of its holder.
and release the spring to hold it there.
Install the armature in the housing. Next, pry back
each brush spring again, and push the brush down
until it seats against the commutator, then release
the spring against the end of the brush.

JRectifier Removal
1. Remove the four through bolts.
Heat the rear bearing seat with a 1,000 W hair drier
tor about five minutes (120 - 140'F, 50 - 60"C).
3. Separate the rear housing from the drive-end hous-
ing by inserting a flst tip screwdriver into the open-
ings and prying them a part. Be careful not to dam-
age the stator with the tip of the screwdraver.
Seoarate the rear housing and drive-end housing
with the stator attached to the rear housing.

1. Open the hood.
2. Check the horizontal adjustment indicator.
The "0" mark on the horizontal indicator gear
should be aligned with the mark on the horizontal
indicator.
HORIZONTAL INDICATOR
Check the vertical adjustment indicator. The bubble
should be centered underneath the longest scribe
mark on the gauge.
VERTICAL INDICATOR:
Headlight become very hot in use; do not touch them
or any attaching hardware immediately after they
have been turnsd off.
MARK

(Bubblol
lf either indicator is not aligned with its "0"mark as
described left column, an adjustment can be made
by using a Phillips screwdriver.
Adjust the headlights to local requirements by turn-
ing the adjusters.
After headlight replacement, it may bs necessary to
readjust the horizontal indicator gear.
. First install the headlioht, and adjust its horizon-
tal and vertical aimings according to local re-
quirements.
. Then check that the arrow on the horizontal indi-
cator gear is aligned with the mark on the hori-
zontal indicator.- lf they are not aligned, remove the screw,
adiust the indicator gear, and retighten the
screw.
NOTE: As the outer lenses are made ot an acryli-
coated, polycarbonated material, do not cover the
headlights when they are turned on.

Description
)
The sRS is a safety device which, when used in coniunction with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver land
front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the sRS unit {including safing
sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's airbag (and front passenger's airbag)

DRIVER'S AIRBAG
CABLE REEL
SRS UNtT
t
Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites the inflator charge(s) lf
battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the voltage regulator and the back-up power clrcult
resoectivelv will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
(1) The impact sensor must activate. and send electric signals to the mlcroprocessor'
(2) The microprocessor must compute the signals' and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s)'
{3) The inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s)'

Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), the SRS indicator light comes
on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally
lf the liglt does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormal-
ity in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunctlon, and the data link circuit passes on the infor-
mation from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This intormation can be read with the Honda PGM Tesler con-
nected to the DLC (16P).

How the Circuit Works
Seat Belt Warning
With the ignition switch in ON (ll) or START (lll),
battery voltage is applied to the seat belt reminder
light. When the seat belt is not buckled, the seat
belt reminder/key-on beeper circuit in the
integrated control unit senses ground through the
closed seat belt switch. The seat belt reminder light
comes on and stays on, and the beeper beeps for
6 seconds. The reminder light and beeper will stop
when the seat belt is buckled or the timer circuit
deactivates them.
lgnition Key Warning
Battery voltage is supplied at all times to the seat
belt reminder/key-on beeper circuit in the
integrated control unit. When you turn on the
ignition key switch the integrated control unit
senses ground. lf you open the driver's door, the
door switch closes, causing the beeper to sound
until the door is closed.
Refer to the Service Manual (Section 23, Electrical)
for specitic tests or troubleshootrng procedures.
