Screw in the brake switch until its plunger is fully
depressed (threaded end touching the pad on thepedal arm). Then back off the switch 1/4 turn tomake 0.3 mm (0.01 in) of clearance between thethreaded end and the pad. Tighten the locknut firm-ly. Connect the brake switch connector.
CAUTION: Make sure that the brake lights go oflwhen the pedal is released.
5. Check the brake pedal free play as described below.
Pedal Free Play
1. Stop the engine, and inspect the play on the pedal
pad by pushing the pedal by hand.
Free Play: 1 - 5 mm {l/16 - 3/16 in)
2. lf the pedal free play is out of specification, adjustthe brake switch. tf the pedal free play is insuffi_cient, it may result in brake drag.

NOTE: lf the clearance between the gauge body
and adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-
to-piston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clear-
ance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is
0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm(0.02 in) or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
rechecked.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
NOTE:
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star Iocknut securely.

Brake Booster Inspection
Functions Tgst
1. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times to deplete the vacuum reservoir, then
depress the pedal hard and hold it for 15 seconds. ll
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally; or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator proportioning valve, orcaliper) are leaking.
Start the engine with the pedal depressed. lf thepedal sinks slightly, the vacuum booster is operat-
ing normally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the
booster or check valve is faulty.
With the engine running, depress the brake pedal
lightly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back
automatic transmission creep, lf the brake pedal
sinks more than 25 mm (1.0 in.) in three minutes,
the master cylinder is faulty. A slight change inpedal height when the A,,/C compressor cycles on
and off is normal. (The A/C compressor load
changes the vacuum available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1. Depress the brake pedal with the engine running,
then stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not
vary while depressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum
booster is OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is
fau lty.
2. With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal
several times using normal pressure. When thepedal is first depressed, it should be low. On con-
secutive applications, the pedal height should grad-
ually rise. lf the pedal position does not vary, check
the booster check valve.
Boostor Ch€ck Valve T6st
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster,
Start the engine and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum available. It no vacuum is available. the check
valve is not working properly. Replace the brake
booster vacuum hose and check valve, and retest.

IABS Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the vehiclespeed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration based on therate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel, and it transmits the control signal to the modulator unitsolenoid valve when the slip rate is high.
The pressure reduction control has three-modes: pressure reduction, pressure retaining, and pressure intensifying.
Self-diagnosis Function
The CPUS in the ABS control unit check the circuit of the system.
The self-diagnosis can be classifield into two categories.. Initial diagnosis: Performed right after the engine starts and until the ABS indicator gose off.. Regular diagnosis: Performed right after the initial diagnosis until the ignition switch isturnedoff.
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS control unit is connected to the data link connector fi6p).The ABS system can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.

Troubleshooting Precautions
ABS lndicator
1. lf the system is OK. the ABS indicator goes off two seconds after turning the ignition switch ON (ll) without starting
the engine, and then comes on again and goes off after two seconds. This occurs because the ABS control unit is
turned on bv the lG2 oower source.
2. The ABS indicator comes on when the ABS control unit detects a problem in the system. However, even though the
system is operating properly, the ABS indicator will come on under the following conditions.. Onlv drive wheels rotate
. One drive wheel is stuck
. Vehicle spin
. ABS continues to operate for a long time
. Signal disturbance
To determine the actual cause of problem. question the customer about the problem, taking these conditions into
consideration.
3. When a problem is detected and the ABS indicator comes on, there are cases when the indicator stays on until the
ignition switch is turned OFF, and cases when the indicator goes off automatically when the system returns to nor-
mal. For DTCS 61 and 62, the indicator goes off automatically when the system returns normal. For all other codes.
the indicator stays on until the ignition switch is turned OFF.
4. For DTCS 12, 14, 16, '18, 2'1,22, 23, 24,51,52 and 53, the indicator goes off when the vehicle is driven again and the
system is OK after the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ON (ll). However, if the DTC is erased, the CPU is reset
and the indicator goes off right after the engine is started if the system is OK.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
1. lf the CPU cannot be actlvated and the indicator comes on, the DTC is not memorized.
2. The memory can hold any number of DTCS. However, when the same DTC is detected more than once, the later one
is written over the old one. Therefore, when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is memorized as one DTC.
3. The DTCs are indicated in the order of ascending number, not in the order they occur.
4, The DTCS are memorized in the EEPROM (non-volatile memory). Therefore, the memorized DTCS cannot be canceled
by disconnecting the battery. Perform the specified procedures to erase the DTCS,
S6lt-dirgnosis
1. Self-diagnosis can be classifield into two categories.
. Initial diagnosis: Performed right afterthe enginestansand untiltheABS indicator goes off.. Regular diagnosis: Performed rightafterthe initial diagnosis untilthe ignition switch isturned OFF.
2. When a problem is detected by self-diagnosis, the system
. Turns the fail-safe relay OFF
. Turns the solenoid valve OFF
. Turns the oumo motor OFF
. Turns the ABS indicator ON

NOTE: This operation can also be done with the Honda PGM Tester.
1. Connect the SCS short connector to the service check connector (2P) under the glove box,
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) without the brake pedal depressed.
NOTE: lf the brake pedal is depressed when turning the ignition switch ON (ll), the system shifts to the DTC Erasure
mode.
3. The blinking frequency indicates the DTC.
NOTE: lf the DTC is not memorized, the ABS indicator will go off fo r 3.6 seconds, and then come back on.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the SCS short connector.
NOTE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) will stay on after the engine is started if the SCS shon connector is con-
nected.
Conditions lor DTC indication
. Vehicle speed is 6 mph (10 km/h) or less.
. The SCS short connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON {ll).
. The brake pedal is released.
