Combination Light Switch Test
1.Remove the driver's dashboard lower cover and steering column covers (see section 20)
Disconnect the 4P and 7P connectors from the switch.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact
. lf the terminals are bent, loose. or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf theterminals look OK, check for continuity between them ineach switch position according tothetables lfthere
is no continuity between any of them. check for continuity in the switch harness
- lf there is continuity in the switch harness. replace the combination light switch
- lf there is no continuity in the switch harness, replace it.

Eoforo adiu3ting th€ h.adlights:
. Park the vehicle on level surface.
. Make sure the tire prgssures are correct.
a The driver or someone who weighs the same should
sit in the driver's seat.
96 - 98 modols
1. Open the hood.
2. Check the horizontal adjustment indicator.
The "0" mark on the horizontal indicator gear
should be aligned with the mark on the horizontal
indicator.
HORIZONTAL INDICATOR
Check the vertical adjustment indicator. The bubble
should be centered underneath the longest scribe
mark on the gauge.
VERTICAL INDICATOR:
Headlight become very hot in use; do not touch them
or any attaching hardware immediately after they
have been turnsd off.
MARK

(Bubblol
lf either indicator is not aligned with its "0"mark as
described left column, an adjustment can be made
by using a Phillips screwdriver.
Adjust the headlights to local requirements by turn-
ing the adjusters.
After headlight replacement, it may bs necessary to
readjust the horizontal indicator gear.
. First install the headlioht, and adjust its horizon-
tal and vertical aimings according to local re-
quirements.
. Then check that the arrow on the horizontal indi-
cator gear is aligned with the mark on the hori-
zontal indicator.- lf they are not aligned, remove the screw,
adiust the indicator gear, and retighten the
screw.
NOTE: As the outer lenses are made ot an acryli-
coated, polycarbonated material, do not cover the
headlights when they are turned on.

Turn Signal/Hazard Relay Input Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations, precautions, and procedures
in the SRS section {24} before performing repairs or ser-
vice.
Remove the turn signal/hazard relay from the under-
dash fuse/relay box.
Inspect the relay and fuse/relay box socket terminals
to be sure they are all making good contact.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded,
repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
. lf the terminals look OK, make the following
input tests at the fuse/relay box socket.- lf any test indicates a problem, find and cor-
rect the cause, then recheck the system.- lf all the input tests prove OK, the turn signal/
hazard relay must be faulty; replace it.

)Erasing the DTC Memory
To erase the DTC(s) from the SRS unit, use a Honda
PGM Tester (see the Honda PGM Tester SRS vehicle
System Supplement) or the following procedure
1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF
2. Connect the SCS service connector to the MES con-
nector (2P). Do not use a jumper wlre.

Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
The SRS indicator light comes on for about six sec-
onds and goes off. Remove the SCS service connec-
tor from the MES connector (2P) within four seconds
after the SRS indicator light went off.
The SRS indicator light comes on again. Reconnect
the SCS service connector to the lvlES connector
(2P) within the four seconds after the SRS indicator
light comes on.
The SRS indicator light goes off. Remove the SCS
service connector from the MES connector (2P)
within four seconds.
The SRS indicator light indicates that the memory is
erased by blinking two times.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for ten sec-
onos.

Troubleshooting Intermittent
Failures
lf there was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur, it will be
stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator light comes on.
Afte. checking the DTC, troubleshoot as lollows:
1. Read rhe DTC {see "Reading the DTC"}.
Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC
Memory").
With the shifi lever in neutral, turn the ignition switch
ON (ll), and lei the engine idle.
The SRS indicator light comes on for about six sec-
onds and goes off.

tl-- -l
Shake the wire harness and the connector, take a test
drive (quick acceleration, quick braking, cornering),
and turn the steering wheel fully left and right, and
hold it there for five lo ten seconds to find the cause
of the intermittent failure.
lf the problem recurs, the SRS indicator light will
stay on.
