DTC 22: Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal
DTC 23: Engine Speed Signal
NOTE:. lf the MIL indicator is ON, troubleshoot the PGIVI-Fl
system first.. Even though the system is operating normally, the
EPS indicator will come on under the following
conditions.
- Condition 1:. The vehicle was traveling at least '12.4 mph(20 km/h), then. A rapld change in vehicle speed was detected,
then. The vehicle (or the vehicle speed sensor signal)
stopped for at least 5 seconds, and. The engine speed was still 1,640 rpm or higher for
at least 5 seconds- Condition 2:
After the vehicle (or the vehicle speed sensor
signal) has stopped for at least 10 seconds, yetthe
engine speed was still 1,640 rpm or higher for at
least 20 seconds.- Condition 3:
When the vehicle speed is 10 km/h (6.2 mph) or
above and the engine is running at 280 rpm or
below for 3 seconds.
1. Start the engine and check the tachometer.
ls the tachometer working correctly?
YES- Go to step 2.
NO-Go to step 9.
2. Test-drive the vehicle above 15 km/h {9.3 mph).
ls the speedometer working correctly?
YES Go to step 3.
NO-Perform the speedometer system
troubleshooting {see page 22-651.a
3.Block the rear wheels and raise the vehicle, and
make sure it is securely supported.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Block the right front wheel, and slowly rotate the
left front wheel, and measure the voltage between
EPS control unit connector C (20P)terminal No.7
and body ground.
EPS CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR C {2OP)
Does the voltage pulse 0 V and 5 V?
YES Go to step 6.
NO Repair open in the wire between the EPS
control unit and the VSS. lf the wire is OK,check for
a loose or poor connections at the EPS control unit.
lf necessary, substitute a known-good EPS control
unit, and recheck.l

General Troubleshooting Information
ABS Indicator
. lf the system is OK,theABS indicator goes off 2
seconds after turning the ignition switch ON (ll)
without starting the engine, and then comes on again
and goes off 2 seconds later after starting the engine.
This occurs because the ABS control unitisturned
on by the lG2 power source.. The ABS indicator comes on when the ABS control
unit detects a problem in the system. However, even
though the system is operating properly, the indicator
will come on under these conditions:- Only the drive wheels rotate- One drive wheel is stuck- The vehicle goes into a spin- The ABS continues to operate for a long time.- The vehicle is subjected to an electrical signal
disturbance
To determine the actual cause of the problem, question
the customer about the problem. taking the above
condilions into consideration.
. When a Droblem is detected and lhe ABS indicator
comes on, there are cases when the indicator stays
on until the ignition switch is turned OFF, and cases
when the indicator goes off automatically when the
sYstem returns to normal.- DTC 61: The ABS indicator goes off automatically
when the system returns to normal.- DTC 11, 13,15,17 ,31,32,33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 54,
or 81: The ABS indicator stays on until the ignition
switch is turned OFF whether or not the system
returns to normal.- DfC 12, 14, 16, 1a,21,51,52, or 53; The ABS
indicator goes off when the vehicle is driven again
and the system is OK after the ignition switch is
turned from OFF to ON {ll}.
Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTCI
. The memory can hold three DTCS. However, when
the same DTC is detected more than once, the more
recent DTC is written over the earlier one.
Therefore, when the same problem is detected
repeatedly, it is memorized as a single DTC.. The DTCs are in the order they occurred, beginning
with the most recent.. The DTCS are memorized in the EEPROM (non-
volatile memory). Therefore. the memorized DTCs
are not cleared when the battery is disconnected, the
ignition switch is turned off, or the system returns to
normal. Do the specified procedures to clear the
DTCs.
Self-diagnosis
. Self-diagnosis can be classified into two categories:- Initial diagnosis:
Done right after the engine starts and until the ABS
indicator goes off- Regular diagnosis:
Done rightafterthe initial diagnosis until the
ignition switch is turned OFF. When a problem is detected by self-diagnosis, the
system does the following:- Turns the ABS indicator on- Memorizes the DTC- Stops ABS control
Kickback
The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning,
and the fluid in the reservoir is forced out to the master
cylinder, causing kickback at the brake pedal.
Pump Motor
. The pump motor operates when the ABS is
functioning.. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor
operation when the vehicle is started the first time
after the ignition switch is turned ON (ll). You may
hear the motor operate at this time, but it is normal.

ABS Control Unit
Main Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the
vehicle speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration
based on the rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel and transmits the control signal to the modulator unit
solenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensifying.

4. The self-diagnosis can be classified into these two categories:. lnitial diagnosis. Regular diagnosis
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding and checking wheel sensor signals. use the Honda
PGM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific operating instructions.

Wheel Sensors
The wheel sensors are the magnetic contactless type. As the gear pulser teeth rotate past the wheel sensor's magnetic
coil, AC current is generated. The AC frequency changes in accordance with the wheel speed. The ABS control unit
detects the wheel sensor signal frequency and thereby detects the wheel speed.

When the wheel speed drops sharply below the vehicle speed, the inlet valve closes and il necessary, the outlet valve
opens momentarily to reduce the caliper fluid pressure. The pump motor starts at this time. As the wheel speed is
restored, and the outlet valve closes, the inlet valve opens momentarily to increase the caliper fluid pressure.
