-Starter Test
NOTE; The air temoerature must be between 59 and
100'F (15 and 38"C) before testing.
Recommended Procedure:
. Use a staner system tester.
. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
. Test and troubleshoot as described,
Alternate Procedurg:
. Use the following equipment:- Ammeter, 0 - 400 A
- Voltmeter, 0 - 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
- Tachometer, 0 - 1,200 rpm
. Hook up a voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
NEGATIVETERMINAL
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair. reset
the ECM/PCM to clear any codes (see section l1)
Check the Start€r Engagemont:
1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box,
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (llll with the shift
lever in E or E position (rVT) or with the clutch pedal
depressed {M/T). The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to
step 3.
. lf itcranksthe engineerraticallyortooslowly, go
to "Check for Wear and Damage" on the next
page.
Check the battery. battery positive cable, ground,
starter cut relay, and the wire connections for loose-
ness and corrosion, Test again.
lf the starter still does not crank the engine, go to
step 4,
Unplug the connector (BLK,/WHT wire and solenoid
terminal) from the starter,
Connect a jumper wire from the battery positive (+)
terminal to the solenoid terminal.
The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
remove it, and diagnose its internal problem
. lf the startercranksthe engine, goto step 6.
Check the ignition switch (see page 23-891.
Check the starter cut relay and clutch interlock switch
(see page 23-86,87).
Check the A/f gear position switch (see page 23-154).
Check for an open in the wire between the ignition
switch and starter.

In the "OHMS" range, the DVOM will measure
resistance between two points along a circuit.
Low resistance means good continuity.
Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can
make a DVOM give a false reading. To check
a reading, reverse the leads, and take a
second reading. lf the readings differ, the
component is affecting lhe measurement.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit.
A iumper wire is made up ot an in-line fuse
holder connected to a set of test leads. lt
should have a five amoere fuse. Never
connect a jumper wire across a short circuit.
The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
Short Finder (Short Circuit Locater)
Short finders are available to locale shorts to
ground. The short tinder creates a pulsing
magnetic field in the shorted circuit whlch you
can follow to the location of the short. lts use
is explained on page 15.
SHORT FINDER
To ordei any test equipment shown above,
contact your local tool supplier. For a list of
suppliers and tool numbers, refer to Honda
Required Special Tools and Equipment
Service Bulletin.

Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box.
2. Check the battery for damage, state of
charge, and clean and tight connections.
CAUTION:
. Do not quick-charge a battery unlers
the battery ground cable has been
disconnected, or you will damage the
alternator diodes.
. Do not attempt to crank the engine wlth
the ground cable disconnected or you
will severely damage the wiring.
While You're Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have
no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure lhat connectors without wire
seals are packed with dielectric (silicone)
grease. Part Number: 08798-9001 .
Pack wllh dlelectrlc (sillcons) greass
When connecting a connector, push it until it"clicks" into place.
Do not pull on the wires when
disconnecting a connector. Pull
only on the connector houslngs.
Most circuits Include solid-state
devlces. Test the voltages In these
circuits only with a lo-megaohm or
higher impedance digital multlm6ter.
Never use a test light or analog meter
on chcuits that contain solld-state
devices. Damage to the devices
may result.
