Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator tan comes on).
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, see page 14-160.
2. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. start the engine, then shift to E {'97 - 98) or E {'gg - 00) position
while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
3. Repeat same test in E position ('97 - 98 models).
4. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E or E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds
shown on a flat road. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. Monitor it with the Honda PGM Tester or as follows:
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; reJer to page 14-58.
b. Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between these terminals on the PCM:
. '97 Model: Between terminals D'! (+) and A9 (-) or A22 {-}
. '98 - OO Models; Between terminals C27 (+) and 820 (-) or 822 {-)

Upshift
NOTE:
. Lock-upON:The lock-up control solenoid valve A turns ON.. Lock-up OFF: The lock-up control solenoid valve A turns OFF.
4. Accelerate to about 35 mph (57 km/h) so the transmission is in 4th. then shift from E or E position to E position.The vehicle should immediately begin slowing down from engine braking.
5. Check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage in the following positions.
E {1st Gear) Position
Accelerate from a stop at full throttle, Make sure there is no abnormal noise or clutch slippage.Upshifts should not occur with the shift lever in this position.
E (2nd cear) Position
Accelerate from a stop at fuI throttre. Make sure there is no abnormar noise or crutch srippage.Upshifts and downshifts should not occur with the shift lever in this position.
E (Reverse) Position
Accelerate from a stop at full throttle. and check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
6. Test in E (Park) Position
Park the vehicle on slope (approx. 16"), apply the parking brake, and shift into E position. Release the brake; the vehi-cle should not move.
