Locking HONDA CR-V 2000 RD1-RD3 / 1.G Workshop Manual

Charging System
IRectifier Test
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc
tion. Since the alternator rectifier is made up of eight
diodes (four pairs), each diode must be tested for continuity in both directions with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability; a total of 16 checks.
'l. Check for continuity in each direction between- the B and P terminals.- E (ground) and P terminals.
All diodes should have continuity in only one direc-
tion.
2. lf any of the diodes fails, replace the rectifier assem-
bly. (Diodes are not available separatelv.)

Remove the end cover, then take out the brush holder
by removing its two screws.
Measure the length of the brushes with a vernier
calrper.
Alternator Brush Length:
Standard (Newl:10.5 mm 10.41 inl
Service Limit: 1.5 mm {0.06 in)
lf the brushes are less than the service limit, replace
the alternator brush assemblv.

4. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step tighten all bolts, in sequence, to about 29
N.m {3.0 kgf.m,22 lbf.ft); in the finat step, tighten inthe same sequence to 85 N.m (8.7 kgf.m,63 lbf.ft).
Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a pre-
set-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly
and do not overtighten.
lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.

align the retainer locking pawls with the connector
grooves. Then press the quick-connect fittings onto
the pipe until both retainer pawls lock with a click-
Ing sound.
NOTE: lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount of
new engine oil on the pipe end.
5. Make sure the connection is secure and that the pawls
are firmly locked into place; check visually and bypulling the connector.
Reconnect the battery negative cable, and turn the
ignition switch ON (ll). The fuel pump will run for
about two seconds, and fuel pressure will rise. Repeat
two or three times, and check that there is no leakage
in the fuel supply system.
