NOTE: Codo P0715 (15) on the PCM doesn't always moan there's an electricalproblem in the mainshaft or countershaft speed sensor circuit; code P07'15 (15)may also indicate a mechanical problem in the transmission. Any problem caus-ing irregular countershaft to mainshaft spoed difference can cause this codo; thiscan sometimes be seen in A'/T Free2e Data.

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 {-)

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.

Make sure lifts. iacks, and safety stands aro placed
properly, and hoist brackets are attached to the col-
rest position on the engine lsee section 11.
Apply th€ parking brake and block the r€ar wheels,
so vehicls will noi roll off the stands and fall on you
while working under it.
NOTE: Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
Disconnect the negative terminal, then disconnect
the positive terminal from the battery.
Remove the intake air duct and the air cleaner hous-
ing assembly,
Remove the starter cables. Remove the harness
clamp from the clamp bracket.

ABS Control
The ABS control unit detects the wheel speed based on the wheel sensor signal it received, then it calculates the vehicle
speed based on the detected wheel speed. The control unit detects the vehicle speed during deceleration based on the
rate of deceleration.
The ABS control unit calculates the slip rate of each wheel, and it transmits the control signal to the modulator unit
solenoid valve when the slip rate is high
The pressure reduction control has three modes: pressure reducing, pressure retaining, and pressure intensi{ying modes.
Self-diagnosis Function
The ABS control unit is equipped with a main cPU and a sub cPU, that check each other for problems.
The CPUs check the circuit of the system.
When the CPUS detect failure, they shift to the "system down mode" or the "control inhibition mode".
The self-diagnosis can be classitied into these four categories:
O: Initial diagnosis
O: Except ABS control
O; During ABS control
@: During warning
On-board Diagnosis Function
The ABS system can be diagnosed with the Honda PGM Tester.
The ALB Checker cannot be used with this system. For air bleeding. and checking wheel sensor signals, use the Honda
PGIM Tester. See the Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.
