shaft.
No. 1 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: t.5 mm (0.06 in)
No. 2 Propeller Shaft Runout:
Service Limit: 1.5 mm {0.06 inl
lf the runout on either oroDeller shaft exceeds the
service limit, replac€ the propeller shaft assembly.

Power Steering Gearbox
Removal
Note these items during removal:
. Using solvent and a brush, wash any oil and dirt off
the valve body unit its lines, and the end if the gear-
box. Blow dry with compressed air.
. Be sure to remove the steering wheel before discon-
necting the steering joint. Damage to the cable reel
can occur.
. With 4WD. tilt the engine with a jack to expand the
clearance between the transfer assembly and rear
beam when removing the steering gearbox from the
rear oeam.
Do not remove the steering gearbox by removing the
transfer assembly from the transmission.
1. Drain the power steering fluid as described on page'17-15.
Raise the vehicle, and suppon it on safety stands in
the proper locations (see section 1).
Remove the front wheels,
Remove the drive/s airbag assembly {see section 24).
Remove the steering wheel {see page 17-18).
Remove the steering joint bolts, then disconnect the
steering joint by moving the joint toward the column.

7. Remove the cotter pin from the nut, and remove the
castle nut {'97 - 98 models) or hex nut ('99 - 00
models).
COTTER PINReplace.
Install the 10 mm hex nut on the ball joint. Be sure
that the 10 mm hex nut is flush with the ball joint
pin end, or the threaded section of the ball joint pin
might be damaged by the special tool. Refer to sec-
tion 18 for ball joint remover usage instruction, Be
careful not to damaging the ball joint boot.
Separate the tie-rod ball joint and knuckle using the
special tool.
Remove the right and left tie-rod ends, then extend
the rack all the way to the right.
Remove the TWC (see section 9).
Disconnect the shift linkage from the transmission

After installation. perform the following checks.
. Start the engine, allow it to idle, and turn the
steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to
warm up the fluid. Check the gearbox for leaks
(see page 17-23).
. Adjust the front toe (s€e section 18).

ABS 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 it 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 intensi{ying modes.
Self-diagnosis Function
The ABS control unit is equipped with a main cPU and a sub cPU, that check each other for problems.
The CPUs check the circuit of the system.
When the CPUS detect failure, they shift to the "system down mode" or the "control inhibition mode".
The self-diagnosis can be classitied into these four categories:
O: Initial diagnosis
O: Except ABS control
O; During ABS control
@: During warning
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS system 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
PGIM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.
