Troubleshooting Procedures
How To Begin Troubleshooting
When the Malfunction indicator Lamp (MlLl has been reported on, or there is a driveability problem, use the appropri-ate procedure below to diagnose and repair the problem.
A. When the MIL has come on:
1. Connect the Honda PGM Tester or an OBD Il scan tool to the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC) located behind theright side of the center console.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check the DTC and note it. Also check and note
the freeze frame data.
Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart and
begin troubleshooting.
NOTE:
. SeetheOBDll scan tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.. The scan tool or tester can read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), freeze frame data, current data, and otherEngine Control Module (ECM}/Powertrain Control Module (PCM) data.. Freeze frame data indicates the engine conditions when the first malfunction, misfire or fuel trim malfunction wasdetected. lt can be useful information when troubleshootino.
B. When the MIL has not come on, but there is a driveability problem, refer to the Symptom Chart on page 11-64.
C. DTCs will be indicated by the blinking of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp {MlL) with the SCS service connector con-nected.
Connect the SCS service connector to Service Check Connector as shown. {The 2P Service Check Connecror rslocated behind the right side of the center console.) Turn the ignition switch ON 0l).

lnspection and Adjustment
Pump Pressure Gheck With T/N 07406 - 0010001
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whetherthe trouble is in the pump orgearbox.
1. Check the powsr steering fluid level (see page 17-15), and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose from the pump
outlet with care so as not to spill the pow€r steeringiluid on the frame and other pans. thon install theP/S joint adapter (pumpl on the pump outlet.

6. Fully open the pressure controlvatve.
7. Start the engine and let it idle.
8. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock severaltimes to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
9, Measure steady-state fluid pressure while the engineis idling. lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge
should read less than 1,500 kPa (15 kgf/cmr, 213 psi).
lf it reads high, check the outlet hose or valve bodvunit (see General Troubleshooting).
10. Close the pressure control valve, then close theshut-off valve gradually until the pressure gauge
nsedle is stable. Read the pressure.

11. lmmodiately open the pressure controlvalve fullv.
lf the pump is in good condition, the gauge shouldread at least 6,900 - 7,800 kpa (70 - 80 kgflcmr,'1,000 - 1.140 psi). A low reading means pump out-put is too low for full assist. Repair or replace theDUMD.

Pump Pressure Check With T/N 07406 -
Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whether
the trouble is in the pump or gearbox.
1. Check the power steering tluid level (see page 17-
151, and pump belt tension (see page 17-14).
2. Disconnect the pump outlet hose from the pump
outlet with care so as not to spill the power steering
fluid on the frame and other parts, then install the
