Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding
CAUTION: When pouring engine coolant, be sure to shut
th6 relay box lid and not to l€t coolant spill on th6 el€c-
trical parts or the paint. lf any coolant spills, rinse it off
immediately.
1. Slide the heater temDerature control lever to maxi-
mum heat.
Make sure the engine and radiator are cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
3. Loosen the drain plug, and drain the coolant.
4. Remove the drain bolt from the cvlinder block.

8.Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
a Use only genuine Honda antifreeze/coolant.
a For best corrosion protection, the coolant concen-
tration must be maintained year-round at 500,6
minimum. Coolant concentrations less than 507o
may not provide sufficient protection against cor,
rosion or freezing.
a Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will im-
pair cooling efliciency and are not recommended.
CAUTION:
a Do not mix different brands of anti-lrcezel
coolants.
a Do not use additional rust inhibitots or anti-tustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.

Cap Testing
1.Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with engine
coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
Apply a pressure of:
93 123 kPa(0.95 1.25 kgf/cm', 13.5 17.8 psi)
Check for a drop in pressure.

Pressure Testing
1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the top ot the filler neck.
2. Attach the pressure tester to the radiator and apply
a pressure of:
93 123 kPa(O.95- 1.25 kgf/cmr, 13.5-'17.8 psi)
3. Inspect lor engine coolant leaks and a drop inpressure.
4. Remove the tester and reinstall the radiator cap.
NOTE:
a Check for engine oil in the engine coolant and/orcoolant in the engine oil.a Check for ATF in the engine coolant and/orcoolant in the ATF {A/T}.

Descriotion
This system evaluates the catalyst's capacity by means of the HO2S (Primary and Secondary) output during stable drivingconditions. lf deterioration has been detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the MIL comes on and DTC p0420 willbe stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as DTC PO42O. troubleshoot those DTCS tirst. thentroubleshoot DTC P0420.

SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locatio.s, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section (23) before performing repairs or ser-
vtce.
1. When the engine is cool, drain the engine coolant
from the radiator (see section 1O).
@ oo not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot; the engine coolant is undol
prsssure and could sevdely scald you.
2. Ooen the clamD, then disconnect the heater valve
cable from the heater valve arm.

3. Disconnect the heater hoses lrom the heater unit.
CAUTION: Engine coolant will damaga paint. Ouick-
ly rinse any spilled engine coolant from painted
sudaces.
NOTE: Engine coolant will run out when the hoses
are disconnected, drain it into a clean drip pan.
4. Remove the mounting nut from the heater unit.
NOTE: When removing the mounting nut, take care
not to damage or bend the fuel pipes, brake pipes,
etc.

lnstall in the reverse order of removal. Make note of
these items:
. Apply sealant to the grommets
. Do not interchange the inlet and outlet hoses.
Make sure that the hose clamps are secure.
. Loosen the bleed bolt on the engine and refill the
radiator and coolant reservoir with the proper
engine coolant minure (see section 10).
Tighten the bleed bolt when all the trapped air
has escaped and engine coolant begins to flow
from it (see section 10).
. Connect all cables and make sure they are prop-
erly adjusted (see page 2'l-271.
