Troubleshooting
Noise and Vibration
NOTE: Pump noise in first 2 - 3 minutes after starting in cold weather is normal.
Humming
Rattle or chattering
Humming due to pulsation of fluid is normal, particularly when the wheel isturned with the vehicle stooDed.
lf equipped with automatic trans-mission, the hum could be thetorque converter or pump noase.
Confirm by temporarily removingthe pump belt.
Feed hose (high-pressure) touch-ing the frame.Beposition the feed hose.
Loose steering shaft connector,tie-rod, or balljoint.Check and tighten, or replaceparts as necessary,
Column shaft wobbling.Roplace the column assembly.
Check the rack guide for properadjustment (see page 17-15).Adjust, if necessary.
Rattling sound and feeling when turning the steering wheel right and left with th€engine OFF is normal.
Pump noise, though not loud, from the valve body unit can be heard when turn-ing the steering wheel to full lock in either direction. This is normal. Do not holdthe steering wheel at full lock lor more than five seconds when inspecting.

Troubleshooting
Fluid Leaks
Check the gearbox assembly for oil leaks carefully. Oil can leak out ot various points, depending on location of the faulty
oil seals/seal rings. Check the following before removing the gearbox from the frame.
Steering GearboxLeaking from the oil seal on thetop of the valve housing.Replace the valve oil seal fromthe valve housing.
Leaking from cylinder end intoleft tie rod boot.Replace the valve oil seal fromthe pinion shaft.
Replace the cylinder end seal onthe valve body unit side.
Leaking from cylinder end intoright tie-rod boot.Replace the cylinder end seal onthe cylinder end side.
Leaking lrom the shaft upper endsection or pin engagement sec-tion of the pinion shaft.Replace the valve body unit.
Tighten the connector. It it's stillleaking, replace the line, cylinderor valve housing.
Leaking from cylinder line A or Bconnections (at tlare nut).
Leaking caused by a damagedcylinder line A or B.Replace cylinder line A or B.
Leaking from pump outlet hoseand return line joint fitting on thevalve body unit {at tlare nut}.
Tighten the connector. ll it's stillleaking, replace the line, joint fit-ting or valve housing,

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.

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

Troubleshooting Precautions
ABS lndicalor
1 lf the system is oK, the ABS indicator goes off two seconds after turning the ignition switch oN 1l) wathout staningthe engine, and then comes on again and goes off after two seconds. This occurs because the ABS control unit isturned on by the lG2 power source.2. The ABS indicator comes on when the ABS control unit detects a problem in the system. However, even thouoh thesystem is operating properly, the ABs indicator will come on too, under the following conditions:. Signal disturbance
. Wheel spin
. Only drive wheels rotate. Battery voltage fluctuates
To determine the actual cause of the problem, question the customer about the problem, taking these conditions intoconsideration:
3 When a problem is detected and the ABS indicator comes on, the indicator can stay on until the ignition switch isturned OFF, or it can automatically go off, depending on the mode.. Indicator stays on untilthe ignition switch is turned off: When the system is in the system down mode.. Indicator automatically goes off: When the system is in the control inhibition mode.4 The ABS indicator stays on when the system is reactivated without erasing the DTC, but it goes off after starting thevehicle.
When the wheel sensor system is faulty and the ABS indicator comes on. the algorithm of the system automatically turnsoff the ABS indicator after the wheel speed signal returns to the normal speed. Also, when the DTc is erased, the cpu isreset and the ABS indicator goes off when the system checked out normal by the initial diagnosis.Therefore, test-drive the vehicle after servicing the wheel sensor system. and be sure that the ABS indicator does notcome on.
5 When the ABS control unit outputs battery voltage to the gauge assembly, the ABS indicator ooes off.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCI
1. The diagnostic trouble code (DTc) is memorized when a problem is detected and the ABS indicator does not go off,or when the ABS indicator comes on.The DTc is not memorized when the ABS indicator comes on unress the cpu is activated,2 The memory can hold any number of DTCs. However, when the same DTc is detected twice or more, the tater one iswritten over the old one.
Therefore, when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is recorded as one DTC.3. The DTCs are indicated in the order of ascending number, not in the order they occur.4. The DTCS are memorized in the EEPROM (non-volatile memorv).Therefore, the memorized DTcs cannot be canceled by disconnecting the battery. perform the specified procedures toerase the DTCS.
Self-diagnosis
1. Self-diagnosis can be classified into these four categories:' Initial diagnosis: Performed right after the eng ine starts and untir theABS indicator goes off.. Except ABS control: Performed when the ABS is not functioning.. During ABS control: Performed when the ABS is functioning.. During warning: Performed when the ABS indicator is ON.2. The system performs the fo|owing contrors when a probrem is detected by the serf-diagnosis:. ABS indicator ON. Memorv of DTC. Mode changetothe "system down mode,, or the ,,control inhibition mode,,.

Kickback'1. The 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.
2. The ABS control unit operates the solenoid valve when the brake pedal is released after the initial diagnosis You may
hear the solenoid valve operate at this time, but it is normal
Pumo Motol
1. The pump motor operates when the ABS is functioning
2. The ABS control unit checks the pump motor operation during acceleration. You may hear the motor operate at this
time, but it is normal.
Brake Fluid Replacement/Ail Bleeding
L Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures are the same as for vehicles without ABS To ease bleeding, start
with the front wheels.
Troubleshooting
1. The troubleshooting flowchart procedures assume that the cause of the problem is still present and the ABS indicator
is still on. Following the flowchart when the ABS indicator does not come on can result in incorrect diagnosis.
2. Ouestion the customer about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same conditions
for troubleshooting.
Self-diagnosis is made at various times such as the initial diagnosis, except ABS control, during ABS control, during
acceleration, during the specified vehicle speed, etc. Therefore, the symptom canngt be checked unless the check
conditions match with the problem conditjons
3. When the ABS jndicator does not come on during the test-drive. but troubleshooting is performed based on the DTC,
check lor loose connectors, poor contact of the terminals, etc., before you start troubleshooting.
4. After troubleshooting, erase the DTC and test-drive the vehicle. Be sure the ABS indicator does not come on.
5. The connector illustratjons show the female terminals with a single outline and the male terminals with a double out-
l ne.
ABS Function Test
To simulate ABS operation and activate the solenoid valves and pump, use the Honda PGM Tester.
Connect the PGM Tester to the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC). When the System Select menu is displayed, select the ABS
Test Mode menu, and follow the tester's prompts.
