carefully while holding the connector portion to
avoid damage.
. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100"F
{38"C} before loossning the tetaining bolts.
NOTE:
o Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnectlon
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.
. Inspect the timing belt before removing the cylinder
h ead.
. Turnthe crankshaft pu lley so that the No. lpistonisat
top dead center (see Page 6-21)
'1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery'
Drain the engine coolant (see page'10-7).
a Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.
Remove the intake air duct and air cleaner housing
(see page 5 3).
Remove the mounting bolt and lock bolt. then
remove the power steering (P/S) pump belt and

bolt' then remove the air conditioning (A'lc) com-
pressor belt (see Page 5-6).

properly and hoist brackels are attached to correst posi-
tion on the engine,
CAUTION:

before loosening the retaining bolt.
NOTE:
. Unspecified items are common.
. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
AIso, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses or interfere with other parts.
o Inspect the timing belt before removing the cylinder
n eao.
. Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is
at top dead center (see page 6-64).
1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.

Starting System
Starter Test lcont'dl
Ch€ck tor Wear and Damage
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and
steadily, lf the starter engages. but cranks the engine
erratically, remove it, and inspect the starter drive gear
and torque converter or flywheel ring gear for damage.
. Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding
or slipping when the armature is rotated with the
drive gear held,- lf damaged. replace the gears.
Check Cranking Voltsge and Curr€nt Draw
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.5 volts.
Current draw should be no more than 350 amperes.
lf cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,
check for;
. dead or low batterv.
. open circuit in starter armature commutator seg-
ments,
. starter armature dragging.
. shorted armature winding.
o excessive drag in engine.
Check Cranking rpm
Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 rpm,
lf speed is too low, check for:
. loose battery or stanerterminals.
. excessively worn starter brushes,
. open circuit in commutator segments.
o dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear.
. defective drive gear overrunning clutch.
Check Siarter Disengag€ment
With the shift lever in El or @ position (A/T) or with the
clutch pedal depressed (M/T), turn the ignition switch to
START (lll), and release to ON (ll).
The starter drive gear should disengage from the torque
converter or flywheel ring gear when you release the
Key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on the torque converter or fly-
wheel ring gear, check for:
. solenoid plunger and switch malfunction,
. dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch.
Starter Solenoid Test
1. Check the hold-in coil for continuitv between the S
terminal and the armature housing (ground). The
coil is OK if there is continuitv,

Power Door Locks
Transmitter Test
NOTE:
. lf the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but
the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the
LED is faulty; replace the transmitter.
. lf any door is open, you cannot lock or unlock the
door with the transmitter.
. lf you unlocked the doors with thetransmitter, but do
not open any of the doors within 30 seconds, the
doors relock automatically.
. The doors do not lock or unlock with the transmitter
if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch.
1. Using a keyless entry checker (07MAJ - SP003001:
. Place the transmitter on the keyless entry check-
er, and press the transmitter button.
- lf the indicator light does not come on, check
for:- a dead or low batterv- Faulty transmitter- lf the ray indicator light comes on, the trans-
mitter is OK.

Troubleshooting

Self-diagnostic Procedures
The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it to locate the causes of system problems and to store this informa' I
tion in memory. For easier troubleshooting, this data can be retrieved via a data link circuit l
. When you turn the ignition switch ON (ll), the SRS indicator will come on. ll it goes off after six seconds. the system is
norma l.
. lf there is an abnormality, the system locates and defines the problem, stores this information in memory, and turns
the sRS indicator light on. The data will remain in the memory even when the ignition switch is turned off or if the bat-
tery is disconnected.
o when you connect the scs service connector to the service check connector (2P), and turn the ignition switch oN (ll),

. Before you ,"n1ou" th" SRS main harness, disconnect the driver's airbag connector (and the front passenger's airbag
connector).
. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged {see section 23}. lf the battery is dead or low, measuring valLles won t be
correct.
. Do not touch a tester probe to the terminals in the sRS unit or harness connectors, and do not connect the terminals
with a jumper wire. Use only the backprobe set or the special tools'
For backprobing spring-loaded lock type connectors, refer to page 24-9'
Reading the DTC
when the SRS indicator light is on, read the DTC using one of these methods:
A. Connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector {DLC), and follow the tester's prompts lf the tester
