L./Checking th€ Diagnostic Trouble Codo (DTC)
with the Sowica Check Connector and Special Tool
When the TCM senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the [D;l indicator light in the gauge assembly willblink.
When the Service Check Connector (located under the dash on the passenger side) is connected with the special tool asshown, the E1T indicator light will indicate (blink) the Diagnostic Troubte Code (DTC) when the ignition switch is turned ON{
}.
When the @ indicator light has been reported on, connect the Service Check Connector with the special toot.
GAUGE ASSEMEI.Y
Then turn ON (ll) the ignition switch and observe the E indicator light.Codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks. Codes 1O and above are indicated by a series of long and shortblinks. One long blink equals 10 short blinks. Add the long and short blinks together to determine the code. After deter-mining the code, refer to the electrical system Symptom-to-Component Chart on pages 14-S4 and 55.

Some PGM-FI problems will also make the E indicator light come on. After repairing the PGM-FI system, dasconnect theBACK UP fuse No. 47 (7.5 A) in the under-hood tuse/relay box for more than 1O seconds to reset the TCM memory, thenrecnecK.

2. Remove the No. 47 BACK UP fuse {7.8 A) from the under-hood fuse/relay box for lO seconds to reset the TCM.
NOTE:
. Disconnecting the No, 47 BACK UP fuse also cancels the radio anti-theft code, preset stations and clock setting, Get thecustomer's code number, and make note of the rsdio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them.o The TCM memory cannot be cleared by using the OBD ll Scan Tool or Honda pGM Tester; be sure to remove the BACKUP fuse to reset the TCM.

NOTE: WhentheOBDll Scan Tool orHonda PGM Tester indicates the DTC(S) for the automatic transmission control sys-
tem, the scan tool or tester also indicates code P0700 simultaneously. Code P0700 means detection of some automatic
transmission problem on the PGM-Fl control system.
lf the self-diagnostic E indicator light does not blink. perform an inspection according to the table below.
NOTE:
. lf a custombr describes the symptom for code P1706 (6), P0725 (11) or P0715 (15), it will be necessary to recreate the
symptom by test-driving, then recheck the DTC,. Sometimes the E indicator light and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) may come on simultaneously. lf so, check
the PGM-Fl system according to the DTC, then reset the memory by removing the BACK UP fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box for more than l0 seconds. Drive the vehicle for several minutes at a speed over 30 mph(50 km/h). then recheck the DTC.
. Disconnecting the BACK UP fuse also cancels the radio anti-theft code, preset stations and the clock setting. Get the
customer's code number, and make note of the radio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them.

Limited Slip Differential (B18C5 engine)
Description (cont'd)
When roundang a curve
When the vehacle rounds a curye, tne differential allows the outer wheel to rotate a little faster than the inner wheel.
when this takes p|ace. the short and |ong pinion gears rotate, and wa|k around the side gears in the directions
shown. lf, for example. the right shaft is rotated in a counterclockwise direction with the differential carrier held sta-
tionary, the force is transmitted through the right side gear, short pinion gears and long pinion gears to the left side
gear, causing the left shaft to rotate in a clockwise direction. This allows the outer wheel to turn more times than the
inner wheel when the vehicle goes around a turn.
PINION GEARILONG)
When limiting differential action
The limited slip differential acts to limit the differential action when either wheel slips on ice or snow or on turn. This
is done by using the friction created between each gear and differential carrier:"''
(1) The pinions are forced against the differential carrier by the force as they are- rotated and repelled outward.
(2) The ends of the pinion gears are held firmly against the differential carrier due to the side thrust from the heli-
callY cut gears.

RIG}IT SHAFT
With the pinion gears locked, the torque applied to the slipping wheel is reduced 8nd the torque delivered to the
other wheel is increased.
