Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding (cont'dl
Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
. Always use Genuine Honda Antifreeze/Coolant.
Using a non-Honda coolant can result in corro-s\on, ca

For best corrosion protection, the coolant con-
centration must be maintained year-round at50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than
50% may not provide sufficient protection against
corrosion or freezing. Coolant concentrationsgreater than 60% will impair cooling efficiency
and are not recommended.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or anti-rustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.

9. Pour coolant into the radiator uD to the base of the
filler neck. When pouring engine coolant. do not let
coolant spill on any electrical pans or the paint. lf
any coolant spills, rinse it oft immediately.
Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the
radiator fan comes on at least twice).
Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator,
add coolant if needed.
Put the radiator cap on tightly. then run the engine
again and check for leaks.

Testing
Replace the thermostat if it is open at room temperature.
To test a closed thermostat:
1. Suspend the thermostat in a container of water. Do
not let the thermometer touch the bottom of the hot
container.
THERMOMETER
THERMOSTAT
Heat the water, and check the temperature with a
thermometer. Check the temperature at which the
thermostat first opens, and at which it is fully open.
Measure the lift height of the thermostat when fully
open.
STANDARD THERMOSTAT
Lift height: above 8.0 mm (0.31 in)
Starts opening: 169 - 176'F (76 - 80'C)
Fully open: 194'F (90'C)

Radiator Fan Switch Testing
E@ Removing the radiator fan switch whilethe engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seri-ously scalding you. Always let the enginc and radiatorcool down before removing the radiator fan switch.
1. Remove the radiator fan switch from the thermostathousing (see page 10 '10).
2. Suspend the radiator fan switch in a container ofwater as shown.
Heat the water, and check the temperature with athermometer. Do not let the thermometer touch thebottom of the hot container.
Measure the continuity between the A and B termi-nals according to the table.
Bleed the air from the cooling system after installingthe radiator fan switch (see page 10-5).

Emission Control System
System Description
The emission control system includes, a Three Way
Catalytic Converter {TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) svstem and Evaporative Emission (€VAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
federal and state emission standards.
Tailpipe Emission
Inspsction
!@ Do not smoke during this procsdura. Keep
any open tlame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle,
Connect a tachometer.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed, (see
page 11-169, 170).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with the headlights, heater blower, rear
window defogger, cooling fan, and air conditioner off.
(Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
CO meter should indicate 0.1% maximum.

Cooler Flushing
@@ To prevent in;ury to face and eyos, atwayswear safety glasses ot a face shield when using thetlansmission flusher.
This procedure should be performed before reinstallingthe transmission.
2.
LCheck equipment for wear and cracks before using.Replace any worn or cracked components.
Using the measuring cup. fill the tank with 21 ounces{approximately 213 lull) ol biodegradable flushingfluid (J35944 - 20). Do not substitute with any otherfluid. Follow the handling procedure on the fluidcontaaner.
Secure the flusher filler cap, and pressurize theflusher with compressed air to 550 - 829 kpa (5.6 _
8.45 kgf/cm,, 80 - 120psi). The air line should beequipped with a water trap to ensure a dry air sys-tem.
Hang the flusher under the vehicle.
Attach the flusher discharge hose to the return lineof the transmission cooler using a clamp.
Connect the drain hose to the inlet line on the trans-mission cooler using a clamp.
IMPORTANT:
Securely clamp the opposite end ofthe drain hose to abucket or floor drain.

Turn on the water valve for 1O seconds. lf waterdoes not flow through the cooler, it is completelyplugged, cannot be flushed, and must be replaced.
Depress the trigger to mix the flushing fluid into thewater flow. Use the wire clip to hold the trigger down.
While flushing with the water and flushing fluid fortwo minutes, turn the air valve on for five secondsevery 15 - 20 seconds to create a surging action.AIR PRESSURE: MAX 845 kpa (8.45 kgf/cmr, t20 psi)
Turn the water valve off. Release the trigger, thenreverse the hoses to the cooler so you can flush inthe opposite direction. Repeat steps 8 through 10.
Release the trigger, and rinse the cooler with wate.for one minute.
Turn the water valve off, and the water supply off.
Turn the air valve on for two minutes, or until nomoisture is visible leaving the drain hose. Residualmoisture in the cooler or lines can damage thetransmission.
Remove the flusher from the cooler line. Attach thedrain hose to a container.
Install the transmission, and leave the drain hoseattached to the cooler line.

Fill the transmission with ATF, and run the engine
for 30 seconds or until approximately 0.951 {1.0 US
qt., 0.8 lmp qt.) is discharged.
Remove the drain hose, and reconnect the cooler
return hose to the transmission (see page 14-266).
Refill the transmission with ATF to the proper level
(see page l4'161 ).

TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. €mpty and rinse the flusher after each use. Fill the
flusher with water and pressurize it, then flush the
discharge line to ensure that the unit is clean.
2. lf discharge liquid does not foam, the orifice may be
blocked.
3. To clean, disconnect the large coupling nut from the
flusher.

IO.RING
Remove the in-line filter from the discharge side and
clean it if necessary.
The fluid orifice is located behind the filter.
Clean it with the pick stored in the bottom of the
