Valve HONDA CR-V 1999 RD1-RD3 / 1.G Repair Manual

Fuel Cut-off Control
. During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the fuel injectors iscutoffto improvefuel economyat
speeds over 970 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 920 rpm ('99 - 00 modelsl.
. Fuel cut-off action also takes place when engine speed exceeds 6,500 rpm ('97 - 98 models), 6900 rpm ('99 - 00
models), regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-rewing.
With Ay'T model. the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm when the vehicle is not moving.*'
4,./C Comoressor Clutch Relav
When the ECM/PCM receives a demand for cooling from the air conditioning system, it delays the compressor from
being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure a smooth transition to the Ay'C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant temperature is above 154"F (68'C), the ECM/PCM controls the EVAP purge control solenoid
valve which controls vacuum to the EVAP purge control canister,
Alternator Control
The system controls the voltage generated at the alternator in accordance with the electrical load and driving mode.
which reduces the engine load to improve the fuel economy.
PCM Fail-saf e/Back-up Functions
1. Fail-safe Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-pre
grammed value for that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
2. Back-up Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM/PCM itself, the fuel injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent
of the system in order to permit minimal driving.
3. Self-diagnosis Function IMalfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL)l
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the DTC
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on {ll), the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the MIL for two
seconds to check the MIL bulb condition.
4. Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the Two Trip Detection Method is used for the HO2S*1, fuel metering-related. idle control
system, ECT sensor and EVAP control system self-diagnostic functions. When an abnormality occurs, the ECM/PCM
stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON (ll) again,
the ECM/PCM informs the driver by lighting the MlL. However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled
when you jump the service check connector, The MIL will then blink immediately when an abnormality occurs.
5. Two (or Three) Driving Cycle Detection Method {'97 model)
A "Driving Cycle" consists of starting the engine, beginning closed loop operation, and stopping the engine. lf misfir-
ing that increases emissions or EVAP control system malfunction is detected during two consecutive driving cycles.
or TWC deterioration is detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the ECM/PCM turns the MIL on. However, to
ease troubleshooting, this function is cancelled when you jump the service check connector. The MIL will then blink
immediately when an abnormality occurs.

ldle Control System
System Description
The idle speed of the engjne is controlled by the ldle Air Control (lAC) Valve'
The valve changes the amount of air bypassing into the intake manifold in response to electric current controlled by the
ECM/PCM. When the lAc valve is activated, the valve opens to maintain the proper idle speed.
YEL/ From PGM'FI
BLK TMAIN RELAY
VARIOUSSENSORS
4.
IAC VALVE
INTAKE MANIFOLD
After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain time. The amount of air is increased to raise the idle speed
about 150 - 300 rpm.
when the cootant temperature ts row, the lAc valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed The amount o{
bvoassed air is thus controlled in relation to the engine coolant temperature
When the idle speed is out o{ specification and the scan tool does not indicate Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0505
or P1508, check the following items:
. Adjust the idle speed (see page 11-169, 170)
. Air conditioning signal (seepagell-1551
. ALT FR signal (see page 1l-159)
. Starter switch signal (see page 11-16'1)
. A,/T gear position signal (see section 14)
. PSP switch signal (seepagell-162)
. Brake switch signal (see page 11-165)
. Fast idlethermovalve (see page'11 168)
. Hoses and connecttons. IAC valve and its mounting O-rings
lf the above items are normat, suDslitute a known-good IAC valve and readjust the idle speed {see page 11-169, 170)
lf the idle speed still cannot be adjusted to specification (and the scan tool does not indicate DTC P0505 or Pl508)
after IAC valve reolacement, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM and recheck lf symptom goes away' replace the
original ECM/PCM.
