engine coolant HONDA INTEGRA 1994 4.G User Guide

@ ne-oving the radiator cap while the engine
is hot can cause the engine coolant to splay out, seri-
ously scalding you. Always let the engine and radiatol
cool down betore removing the radiator cap.
CAUTION: When poudng engine coolant, be sure to shut
the relay box lid and not to let coolant spill on the elec-
tlical pans or the paint. ll any coolant spills, rinse it otf
immediately.
1. Slide the heater temperature control lever to maxi-
mum heat.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the radiator cao.
3. Loosen the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator,
and remove the drain bolt from the enoine block. Let
the coolant drain out.

5.
Remove the reservoir from its holder by pulling it
straight up. Drain the coolant, then put the reservoir
back in its holder.
When the coolant stops draining, apply liquid gasket
to the drain bolt threads, then reinstallthe bolt with
a new washer. Tighten it securely
6. Tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
7. Mix the recommended antifreeze/coolant with an
equal amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
. Use only HONDA-RECOMMENOED antifreeze/
coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the engine coolant
concentrations must be maintained year-round at
50% MINIMUM. Coolant concentrations less than
50% may not provide sufficient protection
against corrosion or freezing.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix ditterent blands ot anti-freeze/
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitois or anti-rust
products; they may not bs compatibl€ with the
recommgndsd engins coolant.

the cap on the radiator. and tighten it only to the tirst
stop, Stan the engine and let it run until it warms
up (the radiator cooling fan comes on at leasttwice).

1.Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine
coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure ol:
93- 123 kPa(O.95- 1.25 kgJ/cm', 13.5- 1 7.8 psi)
Check for a drop in pressure.

NOTE: Across each row in the chart. the systems that could be sources of a symptom are ranked in the order they should
be inspected staning with O. Find the symptom in the left column, read across to the most likely source. then refer
to the page listed at the top of that column. lf inspection shows the system is OK, try the next mosr likely system O, etc,
* lf codes other then those listed above are indicated, count the number of blinks again. It the MIL is in fact blinking
^ these codes, replace the ECM.
qy, lf the MIL is on while the engine is running. connect the SCS shon connector to the service check connector. It no
code is displayed {MlL stays on steady), the back-up system is in operation.
Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. lf the indication goes away, replace the original ECM.

a The MIL may come on, indicating a system problem when, in fact, there is a poor or intermittent electricalconnection.
First, check the electrical connections, clean or repair connections it necessary.
o The MIL and @ indicator light may light simultaneously when the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 6, 7 or 17. Check
the PGM-Fl system according to the PGM-Fl system troubleshooting, then recheck the l!! indicator light. ll it lights,
see page 14-5O, 51.
a The MIL does not come on when there is a malfunction in the A/T Fl signal or Electrical Load Detector (ELDI circuits.
However, it will indicate the codes when the Service Check Connector is shorted.

PGM-FI System
System Description
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECMIOUTPUTS
PGM-Fl System
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multipon fuel injection system,
Fuol Iniector Timing and Duration
The ECM contains memories tor the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. Thebasic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is turther modilied by signals sent from vanous sensofsto obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve (lAC Vatve)
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear (A/T only) the brake pedal is depressed,the P/S load is high, or the alternalor is charging, the ECM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain correct idle soeed.
lgnition Timing Controla The ECM contains mamories for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. lgnition timingis also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.a A Knock Control System is also used. when detonation is detected by the knock sensof. the ignition timing is retarded(B18Cl engine).
Other Control Functions
1. Starting Control
When the engine is started. the ECM provides a rich mixture by increasing fuel injector duration.2. Fuel Pump Control
a When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-Fl main relay that suppliescurrent to the fuel pump tor two seconds to pressurize the tuel system.a When the engine is running, the ECM supplies gfound to the PGM-Fl main relay that supplies current to the fuel pump.a When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relav which cutscurrent to the fuel pump.

3. Fuel Cut-oft Control
a During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the {uel injectors is cut otJ to improve fuel economy
at speeds over tollowing rpm:
. 8188l engine: 91O tpm (Canada model: 1,O50 rpm)
. 818C1 engine: 95O tpm (Canada model: l,O5O rpm)
a Fuel cut-olf action also takes place when engine speed exceeds, 7,O0O rpm {81 8B1 engine), 8,1O0 rpm (B 18Cl
engine), regardless oI the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from ovet-revving.
A/C Compressor Clutch Relay
When the ECM receives a domand for cooling trom the air conditioning system, it del8ys the compressor from being
enetgized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A/C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant tempersture is below 163oF {73"C), the ECM supplies a ground to the EVAP pu.ge control
solenoid valve which cuts vacuum to the EVAP purge control diaphragm valve.
Intake Air Bypsss (lAB) Control Sol€noid Valve
When the engine rpm is below 5,750 rpm, the IAB control solenoid valve is activated by a signal from the ECM,
intske air flows through the long intake path, then high torque is delivered. At spaeds highe. than 5,750 rpm, the
solenoid valve is deactivated by the ECM, and intake air flows through the short intake path in order to reduce the
resistance in airflow.
ECM fail-safe/bEck-up Functions
1. Fail-sate Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-progtammed
value tor that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
Back-uD Function
When an abnormalitv occurs in the ECM itself, the fuel iniectors are controlled by a back-up citcuit independent of
the system in order to permit minimal driving.
Self-diagnosis Function IMaltunction Indicator Lamp {MlL)1
Wh6n an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the code
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground tor the MIL tor two seconds
to check the MIL bulb condition.
Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent tals€ indications, th€ Two Trip Dstection Method is used for the HO2S and fuel metering-related self-
diagnostic tunctions. When an abnormslity occurs, the ECM stores it in its memo.y. Wh€n the ssme sbnormality
recurs alter the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON ag8in, the ECM informs the driver by lighting the MlL.
However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is canc€ll€d when you short the service check connector. The MIL
will then blink immedistelv when an abnormality occurs.
