Always use Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oii can cause stiffer shifting because it does
not contain the Drooer additives.
Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of
the system.

Starting System
Starter Performance Test
1,Disconnect the wires from the S terminal and the M
termrnal.
Make a connection as described below using as
heavy a wire as possible (preterably equivalent to
the wire used for the vehicle). To avoid damaging
the starter, never leave the battery connected for
more than 10 seconds,
Connect the battery as shown. Be sure to
disconnect the starter motor wire from the solenoid.
lf the starter pinion moves out, it is workingpropefly.
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. lf thepinion does not retract, the hold-in coil of the
solenoid is working properly.

5. Disconnect the battery from the starter body. lfthepinion retracts immediately, it is working properly.
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
Connect the starter to the battery as described in
the diagram below, and confirm that the motor
sta rts and keeps rotating.

lf the eiectric cu rrent and motor speed meet the
specifications when the battery voltage is at 1 1.5 V,
the staner is working properly,

6. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Neutral) until the radiator fan comes on,
then let it idle.
7. Raise the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it
there.
8. Turn the headlights (high beam) on, and measure
voltage at the under-hood fuse/relay box terminal.
ls the voltage between 13.9 and 15.1 v?
YES-Go to step 9.
NO Repair or replace the alternator components
(see page 4-30).1
9. Read the amperage at '13.5 V.
NOTE: Adjust the voltage by turning the blower
motor, rear window defogger, brake lights. etc. ON.

YES-Alternator/regulator operation is OK. I
NO Repair or replace the alternator components(see page 4-30).1

Alternator Control System Test
NOTE: After troubleshooting, perform the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).
1 . Check for proper operation of the electrical load
detector (ELD) by checking the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL) (see page 1 l-3). lf a DTC is
present, diagnose and repair the cause before
continuing with this test.
2. Disconnect the engine wire harness 6P connector
from the starter sub harness 6P connector.
3. Start the engine, and turn the headlights (high
beam) ON,
4. Measure voltage between the engine wire harness
6P connector terminal No. 2 and the positive
terminal of lhe battery.

lf any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system. lf all the input tests prove OK,
the cruise control unit may be faulty. Substitute a known-good cruise control unit and retest. lf the system works
properly, replace the cruise control unit.

control actuator (B).
Remove the cover (A), and check the output linkage
(B) for smooth movement.
