. Never use an air hoss or dry brush to claan b.ake assemblies.. Use an OsHA-approvod vacuum cleane. to avoid breathing braks dust,. Contaminated brake discs or pads roduce stopping ability.. When rausing tha pads. always rein3tall the brake p8d3 in thoir original positions to prevont loss of braking etticlency.
GAUTION: Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damags the paint; it brake fluid do6s contast the paint, wash hoff imm€diately with wator.
NOTE:
. Coat the piston, piston seal, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.. Replace all rubber pans with new ones whenever disassembled,. Clean all pans in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air,. Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
. Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.. Make sure no din or other foreign matter is 8llowed to contaminate the br8ke fluid.. Always use Genuine Honda DOT3 Brake Fluid. Using non-Honda brake fluid can caus6 corrosion and d€crease the liftof the system.

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.

6. After the indicator goes off, release the brake pedal again.
7. After a few seconds, the ABS indicator blinks twice and the DTC is erased. lf the indicator does not blink twice, repeat
steps 1 through 6. lf the indicator stays ON after the indicator blinks twice. check the DTC because a problem was
detected during initial diagnosis before shifting to DTC Erasure mode.

A/C System Service
Performance Test
The performance test will help determine if the air con,
ditioner system is operating within specifications.
Use only service equipment that is U.L.-listed and is cer,
tified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove
HFC-134a (R-134a) from the air conditioner svstem.
CAUTION: Exposure to air conditioner retrigerant and
lubricant vapor or mist can irritate eyes, nose and
throat. Avoid breathing the air conditioner refrigerant
and lubricant vapor or mist.
lf accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work
area before resuming service.
R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner sys-
tems should not be pressure tested or leak tested with
compressed arr.
@ some mixtures of air and R-134a have
been shown to be combustible at elevated Dressures
and can result in fire or explosion causing iniury orproperty damage. Never use compressed air to pressure
test R-134a service equipment or vehicle air conditioner
systems.
Additional health and safety information may be
obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufactur-
ers.
Connect a R-134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/
Charging System to the vehicle, as shown, follow-
ing the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Insen a thermometer in the center vent outlet.
Determine the relative humidity and air tempera-
IUre.
Test conditions:
. Avoid direct sunlight.
. Open hood.
. Open lront doors.
. Set the temperature control lever to MAX COOL,
the mode control switch on VENT and the recir-
culation control switch on RECIRCULATE.. Slide the heater fan switch on MAX.. Run the engine at 1.500 rpm.. No driver or passengers in vehicle.
After running the air conditioning for'10 minutes
under the above test conditions, read the delivery
temperature from the thermometer in the dashvent, and the high and low system pressure from
the A,/C gauges.
