ldle speed low or erratic.
Check power steering lluid level. lfthe level is excessively low checkfor leaks in the system. Add fluidto the specified level.
Air in reservoir, or check powersteering tluid level.
lf fluid level is OK, check O-ringsand seals on both ends of thepump inlet hose, and the P/Spump housing mating surlacesand drive shaft oil seal for suction leaks. Check the reservoir forcracks, Replace parts as neces-
Pump belt slipping on pulley(pump stops momentarily).Adjust the belt tension (see page17-14) or replace belt.
Check if pump pressure is normaland the gauge needle travel is 500kPa (5 kgl/cm,, 71 psi) or less.Check the flow control valve if theneedle travel exceeds 500 kPa (5kgflcm', 71 psi). lI the flow controlvalve is normal, replace the pumpas an assembly,
Install the power steering pres-sure gauge, Close the pressurecontrol valve and shut off valve (if
so equipped) fully and measurethe pump pressure (see page 17-16ot 17 17).

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS}
This model has an SRS which includes a driver's airbag in the steering wheel hub, a passenger's airbag in the dashboard
above the glove box ('97,00 models). and seat belt tensioners in the seat belt retractors ('98 - 00 models). Information
necessary to safely service the SRS is included in this Service Manual. ltems marked with an asterisk (*) on the contents
page include. or are located near, SRS components. Servicing, disassembling or replacing these items will require special
precautions and tools, and should only be done by an authorized Honda dealer.
@. To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to personal iniury or death in the event of 8 severe frontal
collision, all SRS service work must be performed by an authotized Honda dealer.
lmproper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal iniury
caused by unintentional deployment of the airbags ('97 - 00 models), and seat belt tensioners 138 - 00 models).
Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may fail in case of a collision, or the airbags may deploy when the
ignition switch is ON {lll.
SRS eleqtrical wiring harnesses are identified by yellow color coding. Related components are located in the steering
column, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, and in the dashboard above the glove box. Do not use elec-
tricaltest equipment on thes€ cilcuils.

10. Check the idler pulley bearing for play and drag,
and replace it with a new one if it's noisy or has
excessive play or drag.
lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
the following items,
. lf you're installing a new compressor, drain all the
reJrigerant oil from the removed compressor, and
measure its volume. Subtract the volume of
drained oil trom 130 m/ 14 U3 fl'o2,4.6 lmp'oz);
the result is the amount of oil you should drain
lrom the new compressor (through the suction fit-
trngl.
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fit-
ting, and apply a thin coat o{ refrigerant oil
before installing them. Be sure to use the right
O-rings for HFC-134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. Use refrigerant oil (SP-10) for R-134a KEIHIN spi-
ral type compressors only.
. To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to
the container once dispensed, and never mix it
with other refrigerant oils.
. lmmediately after using the oil, replace the cap
on the container. and seal it to avoid moisture
aDsorprlon.
. Do not spill the refrigerant oil on the vehicle; it
may damage the paint; if the retrigerant oil con-
tacts the Daint, wash it off immediately.
. Adjust the Ay'C compr'essor b€lt (see psge 22-69)
and the power steering pump belt {see section
17t.
. Charge the system (see page 22-611, and test its
performance (see page 22-56]-.
