@ 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.

1O. Refill the radiator to the base of the tiller neck. Put
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).
11. Turn oft the engine. Check the level in the radiator,
and add coolant it needed. Install the radiator caD,
and tighten it fully.

Troubleshooting
Self-diagnostic Procedures (cont'dl
':818C1 engine
a lf codes other than those listed above are indicated, verifv the code. lf the code indicated is not listed above, replace
rhe 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.
