Replacement
CAUTION: While replacing the speed sensor, be sure not to allow dust and other foreign parliclos to enter into the trans-mission.
'1. Disconnect the connectors for the drive pulley, the driven pulley, and the secondary gear shaft speed sensor.
2. Remove the 6 mm bolt from the transmission housing, and remove the drive pulley. the driven pulley, and the sec-ondary gear shaft speed sensors.
3. Replace the O-rings before reinstalling the drive pulley, the driven pulley, and the secondary gear shaft sp€ed sen-sors.

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),
Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between terminals:. '96 - 98 modols: TCM 84 {+} and Aa (-) or A17 (-1.. '99 - 0O models: FCM C27 {+l and 820 (-l ot 822 l-1.
