Symptom-to-Component Chart
Hydraulic System
Before troubleshooting a problem on Hydraulic system, check the self-diagnosis Dl ('97 - 98) or Lq ('99 - 00) indicator
light indication. lf the El or E indicator light indicates a trouble code, perform the electrical troubleshooting according to
the Electrical System-to-Component Chart. lf the Ol or E indicator light does not indicate a trouble code and failure is not
found on the electrical troubleshooting, perform the hydraulic troubleshooting following the chart.

Brake Pedal
Pedal Hoight
1. Disconnect the brake switch connector, loosen the
brake switch locknut, and back off the brake switch
until it is no longer touching the brake pedal.
2. Lift up the carpet, At the insulator cutout, measure
the pedal height from the middle of the right side of
the oedal pad.
BRAKE SWITCH
ERAKE SWITCH
Standard Pedal Height (with floor m8i removed):
A/T: 161 mm (5 5/16 in)
M/T: 155 mm {6 U8 in}
Loosen the pushrod locknut, and screw the pushrod
in or out with pliers until the standard pedal height
from the floor is reached. Do not adjust the pedal
height with the pushrod pressed. After adiustment,
tighten the locknut firmly.

4. Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully
pressed (threaded end touching the pad on the
pedal arm), Then back otf the switch 1/4 turn to
make 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between the
threaded end and pad. Tighten the locknut firmly.
Connect the brake switch connecto.. Make sure that
the brake lights 90 off when the pedal is released
5. Checkthe brake pedalfree play as described below
Pedal Free Play
1. With the engine off. inspect the free play on the
pedal pad by pushing the pedal by hand-
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm (1/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adiust
the brake switch. lf the pedal free play is insuffi-
cient, it may result in brake drag.

lf the clearance between the gauge body and
adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-to-
piston clearance is 0 mm. However. if the clearance
between the gauge body and adjusting nut is 0 mm,
the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm (0.02 in)
or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
recheck€d.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut, and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star locknut securely.
Remove the special tool.

Brake Booster Inspection
FunctionalTest
1. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal sev-
eral times to deplete the vacuum reservoir. thenpress the pedal hard, and hold it for 15 seconds. lf
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally, or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator, proportioning valve. or
caliper) is leaking.
2. Start the engine with the pedal pressed. lf the pedal
sinks slightly. the vacuum booster is operating nor-
mally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the booster
or check valve is faultv.
3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal light-
ly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back auto-
matic transmission creep. lf the brake pedal sinks
more than 10 mm (3/8 in.) in three minutes, the mas-
ter cylinder is faulty. A slight change in pedal height
when the Ay'C compressor cycles on and off is nor-
mal. (The Ay'C compressor load changes the vacuum
available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1.Press the brake pedal with the engine running, then
stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not vary
while pressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum booster is
OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal sev-
eral times using normal pressure. When the pedal is
first pressed. it should be low, On consecutive appli-
cations, the pedal height should gradually rise. lf thepedal position does not vary. check the booster
check valve.
Boostor Chock Valve Test
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster.
2. Start the engine, and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum. lf no vacuum is available, the check valve is
not working properly. Replace the brake booster
vacuum hose and check valve. and retest.

Troubleshooting
Erasing the DTC Memory
To erase the DTC{S) from the SRS unit, use a Honda
PGM Tester (see the Honda PGM Tester SRS Vehicle
System Supplement) or the following procedure.
1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the SCS service connector to the MES con,
nector (2P). Do not use a jumper wire.
MEMORY ERASESIGNAL (MES} CONNECTOR I2PIIGRY, GRYI or IGRN, GRNI
SCS SERVICE CONNECTOR07PAZ - 0010100
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll),
4. The SRS indicator light comes on for about six sec-
onds and then goes off. Remove the SCS servjce con
nector from the MES connector {2P) within four sec-
onds after the SRS indicator light went otf.
5. The SRS indicator light comes on again. Reconnect
the SCS service connector to the MES connector(2P) within four seconds after the SRS indicator lioht
comes on,
6. The SRS indicator light goes otf. Remove the SCS
service connector from the MES connector (2P)
within four seconds.
7. The SRS indicator light indicates that the memory is
erased by blinking two times.
L Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for ten sec
onos.

Troubleshooting Intermittent
Failures
lf there was a malfunction. but it doesn't recur, it will be
stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator light comes on.
After checking the DTC, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Read the DTC (see "Reading the DTC").
4.
Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC
Memory").
With the shift lever in neutral, turn the ignition switch
ON (ll), and let the engine idle.
The SRS indicator ljght comes on for about six sec-
onds and then goes off.

lt--- _l
Shake the wire harness and the connector, take a test
drive (quick acceleration, quick braking, cornering),
and turn the steering wheel fully left and right, and
hold it there for five to ten seconds to find the cause
of the intermittent failure.
lf the problem recurs, the SRS indicator light will
stay on.

Problem recurs, light stays on.
6. lf you can't duplicate the intermiftent tailure, the sys-
tem is OK at this time.
