Transmission Fluid Inspection and
Replacement
'1. Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn the
engine OFF.
2. Remove the oilfiller plug (A) and washer (B), check
the condition of the fluid, and make sure the fluid is
at the proper level (C).
lf the transmission fluid is diny, remove the drain
plug (D) and drain the fluid.
A44 N.m{4.5 kgt.m,33 rbr.ftl
Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer, and
refill the transmission fluid to the proper level.
Oil Capacity
1.5 0 (1.6 US (F) at tluid change
1.7 0 {1.8 US qt) at overhaul
Always use Honda Manual Transmission Fluid
(MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting
and noise because it does not contain the proper
additives.
Reinstall the oil filler plug with a new washer.5.

Back-Up Light Switch Test
1. Disconnectthe back-up light switch (A) connector.
Check for continuity between the back up light
swilch 2P connector No. 1 and No.2 terminals.
There should be continuity when the shift lever is in
reverse.
lf necessary, replace the back-up light switch.
Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08718-0001), and install it
on the transmission housing.

How to Troubleshoot EPS DTCs
The troubleshooting flowchart procedures assume that
the cause of the problem is still present and the EPS
indicator is still on, Following the flowchart when the
EPS indicator does not come on can result in incorrect
diagnosis.
The connector iliustrations show the female terminal
connectors with a single outline and the male terminal
connectors with a double outline.
1. Ouestion the customer about the conditions when
the problem occured, and try to reproduce the
same conditions for troubleshooting. Find out
when the EPS indicator came on, such as while
turning. afterturning, when the vehicle was at a
ce rta in speed, etc.
2. When the EPS indicator does not come on during
the test drive, but troubleshooting is done based on
the DTC, check for loose connectors, poor terminal
contact. etc in the affected circuit, before you start
troubleshooting.
3. After trou bleshooting, clear the DTC and test-drive
the vehicle. Be sure the EPS indicator does not
come on.
How to Retrieve EPS DTCs
Honda PGM Tester Method:
1, With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A) to the 16P data link connector (DLC)
(B) located under the dash on the driver's side of
the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition ON (ll), and follow the prompts on
the PGM Tester to display the DTC(s) on the screen.
After determining the DTC, refer to the DTC
Troubleshooting Index.
NOTE: See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual
for specific instructions.
Service Check Signal Circuit Method:
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A)to the 16P data link connector (DLC)
(B) located under the dash on the driver's side of
the vehicle.
Short the SCS circuit to body ground using the
Honda PGN4 Tester.
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).
Record the DTC.

General Troubleshooting Information (cont'dl
5. The blinking frequency indicates the DTC. DTCS are
indicated by a series of long and short blinks. One
long blink equals 10 short blinks. Add the long and
short blinks together to determine the DTC. After
determining the DTC, refer to the DTC
Troubleshooting Index.
The system will not indicate the DTC unless these
conditions are met:. Set the front wheels in the straight ahead drivingposition.. The ignition switch is turned ON (ll).. The engine is stopped.. The SCS circuit is shorted to body ground before
the ignition switch is turned ON (ll).

How to Clear EPS DTCs
Honda PGM Tesler Method:
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A) to the 16P data link connector (DLC)
(B) located under the dash on the driver's side of
the vehicle.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), and clear the
DTC{s) by following the screen prompts on the
PGM Tester.
NOTE: See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual
for specific instructions.

Service Check Signal Circuit Method:
NOTE: Use this procedure when the PGM Tester
software does not match the yearlmodel vehicle you
are working on.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A) to the 16P data link connector {DLC)(B) located under the dash on the driver's side of
the vehicle.
With the vehicle on the ground, set the front wheels
in the straight ahead driving position.
Short the SCS circuit to body ground using the
Honda PGM Tester.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). The EPS indicator
comes on for about 6 seconds. Within 4 seconds of
turning the switch ON, while the EPS indicator is on,
turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left from
the straight ahead driving position, and hold the
steering wheel in that position until the EPS
indicator goes off.
Within 4 seconds afterthe EPS indicator goes off,
return the steering wheel to the straight ahead
driving position and release the steering wheel.
The EPS indicator comes on again 4 seconds after
releasing the steering wheel,
Within 4 seconds after the EPS indicator comes on,
turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left again
and hold it in that position.
The EPS indicator goes off after 4 seconds.

1.Within 4 seconds after the EPS indicator goes off,
return the steering wheel to the straight ahead
driving position again and release the steering
wheel. The EPS indicator blinks twice 4 seconds
after releasing the steering wheel, indicating that
the DTC was erased.
NOTE: If the EPS indicator does not blink twice, an
error was made in the procedure and the DTC was
not erased. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and
repeat the operation from step 3.
Turn the ignition switch OFF afterthe EPS indicator
blinks twice.
9. Disconnect the Honda PGM Tester from the DLC.
10. Perform the DTC code output operation, and be
sure that the code has been erased.
