Check the reservoir at regular intervals, and add fluid as
neceSsary.
CAUTION: Use only Genuine Honda Powel Ste€ring
Fluid-V. Using other fluids such as ATF or othor manu-
laclurer's power ste€ring fluid will damag€ the systom.

Raise the reservoir and disconnect the return hose
that goes to the oil cooler.
Connect a hose of suitable diameter to the discon-
nected return hose and put the hose end in a suit-
able container.
CAUTION: Take care not to spill thq fluid on lhe
body and parts. Wipe off any spilled fluid al onc€.
Start the engine. let it run at idle, and turn the steer-
ing wheel from lock-to-lock several times. When
fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the
engine. Discard the fluid.

4. Reinstallthe return hose on the reservoir.
5. Fill the reservoir to the uDDer level line.
6. Start the engine and run it at fast idle, then turn the
steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air
from the system,
7. Recheck the fluid level and add some it necessary.
CAUTION: Do not lill the reservoir boyond thc

NOTE: Perform rack guide adjustment with the wheels
in the straight ahead position.
1. Loosen the rack guide screw locknut with the spe-
cialtool, then loosen the rack guide screw.
Tighten the rack guide screw until it compresses the
spring and seats against the rack guide, then loosen
it.
Retighten ihe rack guide screw to 3.9 N.m (0.4
kgf.m, 2.9 lbi.ft), then back it ofl to specified angle.

ENGINE OIL PBESSURE SWITCH
Check for continuity between the positive terminal
and the engine (ground) with the ignition switch OFF.
a lf there is continuity, go to step 3.
a lf there is no continuity, replace the switch.
Check lor continuity again, this time with the engine
running.
a lf there is continuity, go to step 4.
a lf there is no continuity, the switch is OK.
Make sure engine oil level is OK, then check engine
oil pressure (see section 8).
a lf engine oil pressure is OK, replace the switch.
a lf engine oil pressure is low, check the engine oil
pump (see section 8) and, iI necessary, replace it.

Gauge Test
NOTE: Refer to page 23-123 for the fuel gauge system
circuit.
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Remove the rear seat (see section 20).
Remove the protective cover and access panel from
the tloor.
With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the 3p con-nector from the fuel gauge sending unit.

Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the
YEL/WHT terminal and the negative probe to the
BLK/WHT terminal, then turn the ignition switch ON(ll). The.e should be between 5 and 8 V.
a lf the voltage is as specified, go to step 6.a lI the voltage is not as specified, check for- an open in the YEL/WHT, BLU/WHT or
BLK/WHT wire.- poor ground (G501, G502).

6.Turn the ignition switch OFF. Attach a jumper wire
between the BLKMHT and YEL/WHT terminals,
then turn the ignition switch ON {1.,.
Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starls mov-
ing toward the "F" mark.
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the
pointer reaches "F" on the gauge dial, Failure to do
so may damage the tuel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type
gauge, hence the fuel level is continuously indicat-
ed even when the ignition switch is OFF, and thepointer moves more slowlv than that ol a bimetal
rype gauge.
a lf the pointer ol the fuel gauge does not move at
all, replace the gauge.
a It the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge send-
ing unit.
