Description
Ths cal is equipped with the tottowing devices to prevent inadvertenl shifting:
a Key cylinder with interlocked ignition key (Key Interlock System)
a shift lever with shift lock (shilt Lock system)
Key Interlock System:
When the shift lever is in any other position than @ or is not securely locked in @ (parking pin switch is ON), a solenoid
is activated, making it impossible to remove the ignition key from the ignition switch.
To be able to remove the key, the shift lever must be in E] and must be securely locked in this position {parking pin
switch must be turned oft by the lock pin)
The shift lever is in any othel position than El and the psrking pin switch is ON:

Precautions/Procedures
General Precautions
Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it,
Do not install any part that shows signs of being drop-
ped or improperly handled. such as dents, cracks or
deformstion:
- Airbags- Cable reel- SRS unit
' Use only a digital multimeter to check the system lf
it's not a Honda multimeter. make sure its output is
10 mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallest
value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher
output could damage the airbag circuit or cause acci-
dental deployment and possible injury.
r Do not install used SRS parts from anothercar.When
making SRS repairs, use only new parts.
r Except when performing electrical inspections,
always disconnect both the negative cable and posl-
tive cable from the batterY, and wait at least three
minutes before beginning work.
r Replacement of the combination light and wiper/
washer switches and cruise control switch can be
done without removing the steering wheel:
- Combination light and wiperlwasher switch replace-
ment (see page 23-268).- Cruise controi sevresume switch replacement (see
page 23-259t .
. Whenever the ignition switch is ON (ll), or has been
turned OFF for less than three minutes, be caretul not
to bump the SRS unit; the airbags could accidentally
deploy and cause damage or iniuries.
. Whenever the airbag has been activated, replace the
SRS unit.
. The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit.
Be sure to get the customer's code number beJore dis-
connecting the battery cables.
23-281
Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not try to disassemble the airbag. lt has no service-
able parts. Once an airbag has been operated
(deployed), it cannot be repaired or reused.
For temporary storage of the airbag during service,
please observe the following precautions:
. Store the removed airbag with the pad surface up.
The driver's and tront passenger's airbag connectors
have 8 built-in short contact (see page 23-284).
@ r the airbag is improp€rly storcd face down,
accidental deployment could propel the unit with enough
force to caus6 serious iniury.
AIRBAG CONNECTORS(Built-in short contact)
. Store the removed airbag on a secure flat surface
away from any high heat source (exceeding
212F110O'CI and free of any oil, grease, detergent or
water.
CAUTION: lmproper handling or storage can intornally
damags the airbag, making it inoperative.
1l you su3pocl the aitbag has been damaged, install a ncw
unit and rofEr to ths Deployment/Dilpolal Procedures for
dbposing of ihe damsged ailbag.
)
Precautions/Procedu res
SRS Unit Precautions
Take extra caro when painting or doing body work in
the area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exposure
of the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns, welding, or
spraying equipment.
Disconnect the airbsg connector(s) before discon-
necting SRS harness connectors (see page 23-2851.
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after a
collision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRS
unit for physical damage. lf it is dented, cracked, or
deformed, reDlace it.
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securelv.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
Store the SRS unit in a cool (lass than about
104'F/40"C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no mois-
ture) place, Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit,
and keeD it awav trom dust.
During installation or r6placement, be careful not to
bump {impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area around
the SRS unit. The airbags could accidentally deploy
and cause damsge or injuries,
v
Inspection After Deployment
After a collision in which the airbags w6re deployed,
replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1, Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't
repair, any damaged harnesses
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there is any
damage. replace the cable reel.
3. After the vehicle is completely repairod, turn the
ignition switch ON {ll). lf the SRS indicator light
comes on for about six seconds and then goes off,
the SRS system is OK. lf the indicator light does not
function properly. go to SRS Troubleshooting.

Wiring Precautions
. Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.
NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow
outer protective covering.
. Be sure to install ihe harness wires so that they are not
pinched or interfering with other car parts.
. Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and
grounds are securely fastened for optimum metal-to-
metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent
problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Backprobing Spring-loaded Lock
Connectors
. When checking voltage or resistance on this type of
connector the first time, it is necessary to remove the
retainer to insert tester probes from the wire side.
NOTE: lt is not necessary to reinstall the removed
retainer; the terminals will stav locked in the connec-
tor housing.
To remove the retainer, insen a flat tip scrGirdr'\/".
between connector body and retainer, and car"fully
ory out the retarner.
NOTE: Take care not to break the conn€ctor.

Erasing the DTC Memory
To erase the DTC(S) from the SRS unit, use a Honda
PGM tester (see the Honda PGM Tester SRS vehicle
System Supplement) or the following procedure.
1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the SCS service connector to the MES con-
nector (2P). Do not use a jumper wlre.
MEMORY EMSESIGNAL {MESI CONNESTOR I2P)
[GRN, GBNI or IWHT, BLKI
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
The SBS indicator light comes on for about six sec-
onds and goes off. Remove the SCS service connec-
tor from the MES connector (2P) within four seconds
after the SRS indicator light went off.
The SRS indicator light comes on again. Reconnect
the scs service connector to the MES connector
(2P) within the four seconds after the SRS indicator
light comes on.
The SRS indicator light goes off. Remove the SCS
service connector from the MES connector (2P)
within four seconds.
The SRS indicator light indicates that the memory is
erased by blinking two times.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. and wait for ten sec-
onos.
Troubleshootin g Intermittent
Failures
lf the.e was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur, it will be
stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator light comes on,
Atter chocking ths DTC, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Read the DTC (see "Reading the DTC").
2. Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC
Memory").
3. With the shift l€ver in neutral, turn the ignition switch
ON (ll), and let the engine idle.
4. The SRS indicator light comes on for about six sec-
onds and then goes off.
