1997 HONDA CIVIC door lock actuator

)Control Unit Input Test ('99 - 00 models with Keyless Entry System)
1.Remove the driver's kick panel.
Disconnect the 18P connector from the control unit.
Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contacl.
. lf the terminals are bent, loose or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system
. lf the terminals look OK, make rhe following input tests at the connector.
- lf anv test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck ihe system
- lf all the input tests prove OK, the control unit must be faulty; replace it

Transmitter Test
NOTE:
. lf the doors unlock or lock with the transmitter, but
the LED on the transmitter does not come on, the
LED is faulty; replace the transmitter.
. lf any door is open, you cannot lock or unlock the
door with the transmitter.
. lf you unlocked the doors with thetransmitter, but do
not open any of the doors within 30 seconds, the
doors relock automatically.
. The doors do not lock or unlock with the transmitter
if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition switch.
1. Using a keyless entry checker (07MAJ - SP003001:
. Place the transmitter on the keyless entry check-
er, and press the transmitter button.
- lf the indicator light does not come on, check
for:- a dead or low batterv- Faulty transmitter- lf the ray indicator light comes on, the trans-
mitter is OK.

Storing transmitter codes;
The codes of up to three transmitters can be read into
the keyless receiver unit memory. (lf a fourth code is
stored, the code which was input first will be erased.)
NOTE: lt is important to maintain the time limits
between the steps.
'1. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
2. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock
button with the transmitter aimed at the vehicle.
3. Within I to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON 1ll).
5. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the
vehicle.
6. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
7. Within 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
8. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the
vehicle.
9.Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
Within 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Within '1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the
vehicle.
Confirm you can hear the sound of the door lock
acIuarors.
Within 8 sec., aim the transmitters (up to three)
whose codes you want to store at the receiver, and
press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons.
Contirm that you can hear the sound of the door
lock actuators after each transmitter code is stored.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and pull out the key.
Confirm proper operation with the new code(s).
