NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating tem peratu re (the rad iator fan comes on )'
1. Apply parking brake and block the wheels. Start the engine, then shift to E position while depressing the brake
Dedal, Depress the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall'
2. Repeat same test in E Position.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds shown
in the table. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; refer to page 14-50.
b. Setthedigital multimeter to check the th rottle position sensor voltage between PCM terminals;

Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan com6s on).
1. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. Start the engine, then shift to the E position while depressing the
brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
2. Test in E position
Park the vehicle in a slope (approx. 16'). apply the parking brake, and shift into E position. Release the brake; the
vehicle should not move.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the position shown in the table. Check that the engine speeds meet the approx-imate vehicle speeds shown in the table.
NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. To monitor the throttle position sensor volt-age, use one of the following methods:
A. Connect the Honda PGM Tester, and go to the PGM-FI Data List.
A1For road testing on '96 - 98 models, remove the drive/s side kick panel to expose the TCM; on '99 - OO models,remove the passenger's side kick panel to expose the PCM (see page l,[-236),
