Precautions for Real-time 4WD (Four-wheel Drivel
Under normal conditions, the vehicle is in 2WD (front-wheel drive). However, the system will instantly transmit
appropriate driving force to the rear wheels {depending on the driving force of the front wheels and the road conditons)
The Real-time 4WD-Dual Pump System does not have a manual switch to disable the 4WD system. Whenever service
work requires spinning the front or rear wheels with the engine, always lift up and support the vehicle so all lour wheels
are off the ground (see page 1- 19).

Lubrication Points
For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied. refer to the illustrated index and various work pro-
cedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.
Recomm6nded Engine OilEngine oil viscosity for ambient temperature ranges
100'F
-30 -20 .10 0 10 20 30 40'c
r1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid {MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the orooer additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect
shift qualitv.+3r Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.*4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmis-
sion fluid can caused increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Starting System
Starter Test (cont'dl
Check lor Wear and D8mage
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and
steadily. lf the staner engages, but cranks the engine
erratically, remove it, and inspect the starter drive gear
and torque converter ring gear or flywheel ring gear for
oamage.
Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding or
slipping when the armature is rotated with the drive
gear held. lf damaged, replace the gears.
Check Cranking Voltage and Current Draw
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.7 volts on Ay'T
models, and 8.0 volts on M/T moders.
Current draw should be no more than 230 amperes on
A,/T models, and 200 amperes on M/T models.
lf cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,
check for:
. dead or low battery.
a open circuit in starter armature commutator seg,
ments.
. starter armature dragging.
. shorted armature winding.
. excessive drag in engine.
Check Cranking rpm
Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 rpm.
lf speed is too low, check for:
a loose baftery or starter terminals.
. excesslvely worn staner brushes
. open circuit in commutator segments.
. dirty or damaged helical splines or drive gear.
a defective drive gear overrunning clutch.
Check Starter Disengagement
With the shift lever in @ or @ position (A,iT) or with the
clutch pedal depressed {M/T). turn the ignition switch to
START (lll). and release to ON (ll).
The starter drive gear should disengage from the torque
converter ring gear or flywheel ring gear when you
release the key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on the torque converter ring
gear or flywheel ring gear, check for
. solenoid plunger and switch malfunction.
. dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch.
Starter Solenoid Test
1. Check the hold-in coil for continuity between the S
terminal and lhe armature housing (ground). The
coil is OK if there is continuity.

Performance Test
Disconnect the wire from terminal N4.
Make a connection as described below using as
heavy a wire as possible (preferably equivalent to
the wire used for the vehicle).
Connect the battery as shown. lf the starter pinion
pops out. it is working properly. To avoid damaging
the starter, do not leave the battery connected for
more than 10 seconds.

ie
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal. lf the
pinion does not retract, the hold-in coil is working
properly. To avoid damaging the starter, do not
leave the battery connected for more than 10 sec
onds.

5. Disconnect the battery also from the body. lf the
pinion retracts immediately, it is working properly,
To avoid damaging the starter, do not leave the bat-
terv connected for more than 10 seconds.

7.
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
Connect the starter to the battery as described in
the diagram below, and confirm that the motor
starts and keeps rotating.
8, lf the electric current and motor soeed meet the
specifications when the battery voltage is at 11.5 V,
the starter is working properly.

Spark Plug Inspection
Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator for:
. lmproper gap. Oil-fouling. Carbon deposits. Cracked centerelectrode insulator
Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by:
. Advanced ignition timing
. Loose spark plug
. Plug heat range too hot
. Insufficient cooling
Fouled plug may be caused by:
. Retarded ignition timing
. Oil in combustion chamber
. Incorrect spark plug gap
. Plug heat range too cold
. Excessive idling/low speed runnang
. Clogged air cleaner element
. Deteriorated ignition wires

2. Check the electrode gaP.
. Adjust the gap with a suitable gapping tool.
Electrode Gap
Standard 1.1 3 ' mm (0.043 Loo. in)
Replace the plug if the center electrode is rounded

Apply a small quantity of anti-seize compound to
the plug threads, and screw the plugs into the cylin-
der head finger-tight. Then torque them to 18 N'm
