Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating tem peratu re (the rad iator fan comes on )'
1. Apply parking brake and block the wheels. Start the engine, then shift to E position while depressing the brake
Dedal, Depress the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall'
2. Repeat same test in E Position.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds shown
in the table. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; refer to page 14-50.

Troubleshooting Procedures
l. How To Begin Troubleshooting
When the E indicator light has been reported on, use the appropriate procedure below to diagnose and repatr theproDlem.
A. When the @ indicator light has come on:
l connect the Honda PGM Tester or an oBD ll Scan Tool to the 16P Data Link Connector (DLc) located near the leftkick panel.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check the DTC and note it. Also check and notethe freeze frame data.
Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart andbegin troubleshooting.
INOICATORLIGHT
NOTE: SeetheOBDll Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.
Some PGM-FI problems will also make the E indicator light come on. After repairing the pGM-Fl system, disconnect theBACK UP fuse (7.5 Al in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than l0 seconds to reset the TCM or PCM memory, rnenrecheck.
NOTE: Disconnecting the BACK UP fuse also cancels the radio preset stations and the clock setting. Make note of theradio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them,

B. DTCS will be indicated by the blinking of the E indicator light with the SCS service connector connected to the
Service Check Connector as shown. (The Service Check Connector (2P) is located under the dash on the passen
ger's side of the vehicle.) Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).

C. lf the inspection for a particular code requires voltage or resistance checks at the TCM or PCM connectors, removethe driver's side kick panel, and unbolt the TCM, and at the PCM connectors, remove the passenger's side kickpanel, and unbolt the PCM. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and connect the backprobe sets and a digital multimeteras described below. Check the system according to the procedure described for the appropriate code(s) listed onthe following pages.
