Fuses
The auxiliary fuse box is located on
the driver's side near the brake fluid
reservoir. To open it, push the tab on
each side and remove the
lid.
232 Taking Care of the Unexpected
Checking and Replacing Fuses
If something electrical in your car
stops working, the first thing you
should check for is a blown fuse.
Determine from the chart on pages
234 and 235 , or the diagram on the
fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses
control that component. Check those
fuses first, but check
all the fuses
before deciding that a blown fuse is
not the cause. Replace any blown
fuses and check
the component's
operation.
1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK
(0). Make sure the headlights and
all other accessories are off.
2. Remove the cover from the fuse
box.
3. Check each of the large fuses in
the under-hood fuse box by
looking through the top at the wire
inside. Removing these fuses
requires a Phillips-head screw­
driver.

Exhaust Emissions Controls
The exhaust emissions controls
include four systems:
PGM-FI,
Ignition Timing Control, Secondary
Air Injection System and
Three Way
Catalytic Converter. These four
systems work together to control the
engine's combustion and minimize
the amount of
HC, CO, and NOx that
comes out the tailpipe.
The exhaust
emissions control systems are
separate from the crankcase and
evaporative emissions control
systems.
PGM-FI System
The PGM-FI System uses sequential
multiport fuel injection.
It has three subsystems: Air Intake,
Engine
Control, and Fuel Control.
The Engine Control Module (ECM)
uses various sensors to determine
how much air is going into the
engine.
It then controls how much
fuel to inject under all operating
conditions.
Ignition Timing Control System
This system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of
HC, CO and NOx produced.
Secondazy Air Injection System
During engine warm-up, air is
pumped into the exhaust to reduce
emissions when
the engine is cold.
Three Way Catalytic Converter
The three way catalytic converter is
in the exhaust system. Through
chemical reactions, it converts
HC,
CO, and NOx in the engine's exhaust
to carbon dioxide
(COz), dinitrogen
(Nz), and water vapor.
Emissions Controls
Replacement Parts
The emissions control systems are
designed and certified to work
to­
gether in reducing emissions to
levels that comply with the
Clean Air
Act. To make sure the emissions
remain
low, you should use only new
Genuine Honda replacement parts or
their equivalent for repairs. Using
lower quality parts may increase the
emissions from your car.
The emissions control systems are
covered by warranties separate from
the rest of your car. Read your
warranty manual for more informa­
tion.
