Refill the transmission with the recommended
Genuine Honda CVT Fluid (see page 14-2991
CAUTION: While filling the CvT Fluid, bs surs not io
allow dust and other fotoign particles to entor into
the transmission.
Connect the battery positive (+) terminal first, then
the negative (-l terminal to the battery'
Check the ignition timing (see section 23).
Start the engine. Set the parking brake, and shift the
transmission through all gears three times Check
shift cable adjustment (see page 14-355).
Check the front wheel alignment (see section 18)
Let the engine reach operating temperature (the
radiator fan comes on) with the transmission in lXl

Turn Signal/Hazard Relay:
See page 23-172
Normally-open type:
1. Check for continuity between the terminals.. There should be continujty between the No. 1 andNo.3 terminals when power and ground are con-nected to the No. 2 and No. 4 terminals.. There should be no continuity between the No. 1and No. 3 terminals when power is disconnected.

-Performance Test
NOTE: Before staning the following checks. disconnect
the wire from terminal M. and make a connection as
described below using as heavy a wire as possible (prefer-
ably equivalent to the wire used for the car).
Pull-in CoilTest:
Connect the battery as shown, lf the staner pinion pops
out. it is working proPerly.
CAUTION: Do not leavo tho batterv connost€d for more
than 10 seconds.
Hold-in Coil Test:
Disconnect the battery from the M terminal' lf the pinion
does not retract, the hold-in coil is working properly.
CAUTION: Do not loavc lhe battsry connected for mot6
than 10 ssconds.
Retracting Tosi:
Disconnect the battery also from the body. lf the pinion
retracts immediately, it is working properly.
GAUTION: Do not loave the baftery conn€ctod tor more
than 10 seconds.
Startor No-load Tost:
Clamp the starter firmly in a vise.
Connect the starter to the battery as described in
the diagram below, and confirm that the motor
starts and keeps rotating.
