Removal/lnstallation
SRS components are located in this area. Review lhe
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (24) before performing repairs or ser-
vice.
Removal:
1. Make sure you have the anti-lheft code for the radio
then write down the frequencies lor the radio's pre-
set buttons ('99 - 00 modelsl.
2. Disconnect the battery negative cable. then discon
nect the positive cable, and wait at least three min
utes,
3. Disconnect the airbag connectors (see section 24)'
4. Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and
knee bolster (see section 20)
5. Remove the two mounting nuts, and pull the under
dash fuse/relay box out from under the dash'
6. Disconnect the connectors from the under-dash
fuse/relay box, and take out the under-dash fuse/
relay box (see section 24).
lnstallation:
1. Connect the connectors to the under-dash tuse/
relay box, then install the under dash fuse/relay box
in the reverse order of removal (see section 24)'
2. Install the driver's dashboard lower cover (see sec
tion 20).
3. Connect the airbag connectors {see section 24)
4. Connect the battery positive cable, then connect the
negative cable.
5. Enter the anti-theft code lor the radio, then enter the
customer's radio station presets ('99 - 00 models)'
6. Confirm that all sYstems work properly'

-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.

-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

6. Adjust the ignition timing if necessary, as follows.
Loosen the distributor mounting bolts. and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing, or clockwise to retard the tim-
ing.
MOUNTING BOLTS18 N'm (1.8 kgfm, 13lblftl
Tighten the distributor mounting bolts, and recheck
the ignition timing.
Disconnect the SCS service connector from the ser-
vice check connector.
