Coolant Temperature Gauge
Troubleshooting
Before testing, check the No. I { 10A) fuse in the under-
hood fuse/relay box and the No. '10 (7.5A) fuse in the
under dash fuse/relay box.
1. Start the engine, and check the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL).
Does the MIL come on?
YES- Troubleshoot the cause of the ECM DTC (see
page 1 1-57), and recheck.
NO-Go to step 2.
2. Check for a multiplex control unit DTC (see page
22,168).
ls a DTC ind icated?
YES Troubleshooting the cause of the multiplex
control unit DTC {see page 22-168), and recheck.
NO Go to step 3.
3. Do the communication line check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
ls the word "Error" indicated on the odo/ttip
d isplay ?
YES The gauge cannot receive the signal from the
multiplex control unit and the ECI\,4. Check for an
open in the WHT/GRN wire (gauge connector
terminal B 13). lf no open is found, go to step 5.
NO Go to step 4.
4. Do the gauge drive circuit check with the self-
diagnosis procedure (see page 22-56).
Does the temperature gauge needle sweep lrom
the minimum position to the maximum, then tetutn
to the minimum position?
YES Go to step 5.
NO Replace the gauge assembly.l
5. Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.

System Description
The vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system that will disable the vehicle unless the proper ignition key is used.This system consists of a transponder located in the ignition key, an immobilizer control unit-receiver, an indicatorlight, and the ECM.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch and turned to the ON {ll) position, the immobilizer control unit-receiversends power to the transponder in the ignition key. The transponder then sends a coded signal back to the immobilizer
control unit-receiver which then sends a coded signal to the ECI\4.
iEl'JUiliii'tlun"oona"|.r KEYCYLTNDER
lf the proper key has been used, the immobilizer indicator light will come on for about 2 seconds, then go off.lf the wrong key has been used or the code was not received or recognized by the unit, the indicator light will comeon for about 2 seconds, then it will blink until the ignition switch is turned OFF.lf the ignition switch is turned OFF, the indicator will blink for about 5 seconds to signal that the unit has reset
correctly, then the indicator will go off.
lf the customer has lost his key, and cannot start the engine, contact Honda Customer Relations.

Troubleshooting
Before troubleshooting the immobilizer system,
troubleshoot any EClvl Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS)
(see page 11-3), and make sure the ECM has no
malfunction.
Note these items before trou bleshooting:
. Due to the action of the immobilizer system, the
engine takes slightly more time to start than on a
vehicle without an immobilizer system.. When the system is normal, and the proper key is
inserted, the indicator light comes on for 2 seconds,
then it will go off.. If the indicatorstartsto blink after 2 seconds, or if the
engine does not start. remove any other immobilizer
keys or large key fobs on the key ring, then repeat the
starting procedure.
lf the engine still does not start, continue with thisprocedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll) with proper key.
2. Check to see if the immobilizer indicator light
comes on.
Does the indicator light blink?
YES Disconnect the 7P connector from the
immobilizer control unit-receiver, then go to step 9.
NO Check for these problems, then go to step 3.
. Blown No. 9 (10A)fuse in the under-hood
fuse/relay box.I. An open in the wire between the gauge assembly
and the immobilizer control unit-receiver.l. A faulty immobilizer indicator light,I. An open in the wire between the gauge assembly
and the under-hood fuse/relay box.l
Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover (see
page 20-59).
Remove the steering column lower cover (see page
11-9).

Precautions and Procedures
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully beforeperforming airbag system service. Observe theinstructions described in this manual. or the airbags
could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
. Except when performing electrical inspections.
always turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the
negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The memory is not erased even if the ignition
switch is turned OFF or the battery cables are
disconnected from the battery.. Use replacement pans which are manufactured to the
same standards and quality as the original parts. Do
not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Useonly new pans when making SRS repairs.. Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of being
dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks,
or deformation.
. Before removing any SRS parts (including the
disconnection of connectors), always disconnect the
SRS connector.. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. lf itis not a Honda multimeter, make sure its outout is 10mA (0.01A) or less when switched to the lowest value
in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output
could cause accidental deployment and possible
injury.. Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.. The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit.
Be sure to get the customer's radio code and write
down the frequencies for the radio's preset stations
before disconnecting the battery cable.. Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter
the radio code. then enter the customer's radio
station presets, and set the clock. Do the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).

Steering-related Plecautions
Cable Reel Alignment
. Misalignment of the cable reel could cause an open in
the wiring, making the SRS system and the horns
inoperative. Center the cable reel whenever the
following is performed (see step 6 on page 23-121).
- Installation of the steering wheel- Installation of the cable reel- Installation ofthe steering column- Other steering-related adjustment or installation
. Do not disassemble the cable reel.
. Do not apply grease to the cable reel.
. lf the cable reel shows any signs of damage or
contamination. replace it with a new one. For
example, it does not rotate smoothly.

Erasing the DTG Memory
Specisl Tool Required
SCS service connector 07PAz-0010100
To erase the DTC(S)from the SRS unit, use a Honda
PGM Tester {see lhe Honda PGfM Tester SRS Vehicle
System Supplement) or the following procedure.
1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the SCS service connector {A) to the MES
2P connector (B). Do not use a jumper wire.
07PAZ-0010100
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
4. The SRS indicator will come on for about 6 seconds,
and then go off. Remove the SCS service connector
from the MES connector within 4 seconds after the
indicator goes off.
5. The SRS indicator will come on again. Reconnect
the SCS service connector to the MES connector
within 4 seconds after the indicator comes on.
6. When the SRS indicator goes off, remove the SCS
service connector from the MES connector within 4
seconds.
7. The SRS indicator will bllnk two times indicating
that the memory has been erased.
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for '10
seconds.
9. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) again. The SRS js
OK if the SRS indicator comes on for 6 seconds and
then goes off.

Troubleshooting lntermittent Failures
lf there was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur. it will be
stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator will come on.
After checking the DTC, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Read the DTC (see "Reading the DTC").
2. Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC
Memory").
3. With the shift lever in neutral, start the engine, and
let it idle.
The SRS indicator will come on for about 6 seconds
and then go off.
Shake the wire harness and the connectors. take a
test drive (quick acceleration, quick braking,
cornering), turn the steering wheel fully left and
right, and hold it there for 5 to '10 seconds. lf the
problem recurs, the SRS indicator will come on.
lf you can't duplicate the intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this time.
