Wheel Sensor Inspection
1.
2.
Inspect the front and rear pulsers for chipped or
damaged teeth.
Measure the air gap between the wheel sensor and
the pulser all the way around while rotating the
pulser. Remove the rear brake disc to measure the
gap on the rear wheel sensor. lf the gap exceeds
1.0 mm (0.04 in.), check for a bent suspension arm.
Standard:
Front; 0.4- 1.0 mm (0.02-0.04 in.)

Emblem Replacement
NOTE: When removing the emblem, take care not to scratch the body.
1. To remove the front "H" emblem and front type emblem, remove the front bumper (see page 20-85)
2. Clean the bonding surface with a sponge dampened in alcohol. After cleaning, keep oil, grease, and water from
getting on the surface.
3. Apply the emblem, where shown.
. When installing the side i-VTEC emblem on the body, align the application tape with the edge of the wheel arch,
then press the emblem into place, and remove the application tape.. '03 model: When installing the LEV emblem on the quarter glass, align the application tape with the edge of the
black ceramic and alignment mark on the quarter glass, then press the emblem into place, and remove the
application tape.
