Test the VTEC Solenoid Valve:
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF
2. Disconnect the VTEC solenoid
valve 1P connector,
3. Attach the batterY Posrtrveterminal to the VTEC solenoid
valve terminal.4. Start the engine and check
the oil Pressure at engine
speed ol5,000 rPm
lrcoect the VTEC solenoid valve(see page S54)ls the pressure above 390 kPa(4.0 kgt/cm?, 57 Psi)?
Test the VTEC Pressure Switch:
With the battery Positive terminal
connected to the VTEC solenoid
valve, measure voltage between
the ECM connector terminal C10
and body ground.
ls there battery voltage above
5,000 rpm?

Removal
Engine removal is not required for this procedure.
!@@ Make sure jacks and safety stands are placed
properly and hoist brackels are attached to correst posi-
tion on the engine,
CAUTION:
o Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted sur-
faces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiling connectors
carelully while holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100"F {38'Cl
before loosening the retaining bolt.
NOTE:
. Unspecified items are common.
. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
AIso, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses or interfere with other parts.
o Inspect the timing belt before removing the cylinder
n eao.
. Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is
at top dead center (see page 6-64).
1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
Drain the engine coolant {see page 10-7).
. Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.
Remove the strut brace (see page 5-2).
Remove the intake air duct and air cleaner housing
(see page 5-3).
Remove the adjusting bolt and mounting bolt, then
remove the power steering (P/S) pump belt and pump
(see page 5 5).
