-lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it it necessary (see
section 'l '1 ).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and BLK
wires) from the connector holder located under the
dash on the front passenger side, then connect the
SCS service connector (T/N 07PAZ - 0010'100) to it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3.000 rpm with
no load {A,/T in E or E. M/T in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. 1 ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights. blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

Loosen the distributor mounting bolts. and turn the
distributor ignition (Dl) housing counterclockwise to
advance the timing, or clockwise to retard the tim-
ing.

It -Alternator Belt Inspection and Adiustment
Deflection Method:
Apply a force of 98 N (10 kgl,22lbll, and measure the
deflection between the alternator and the crankshaft pul-
ley.
Detlection | 8.0 - 10.5 mm (0.31 - 0.41 in)
NOTE: On a brand-new belt {one that has been run for less
than five minutes). the deflection should be 6.0 - 8.5 mm
(0.26 - 0.33 in) when first measured. If the belt is worn or
damaged, replace it.
CRANKSHAFTPULLEY
lf adiustm€nt is necossary:
1. Loosen the lower mounting nut and the upper mount-
ing bolt.
2, Move the alternator to obtain the proper belt tension,
then retighten the upper mounting bolt and the lower
mounting nut to the specified torques.
3. Recheckthe deflection ofthe belt.

NOTE: On a brand-new belt {one that has been run for less
than five minutes), the tension should be 540 -740 N
(55 - 75 kgf, 121 - 165 lbf) when first measured. lf the belt

Description
)
The sRS is a safety device which, when used in coniunction with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver land
front passenger) in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the sRS unit {including safing
sensor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's airbag (and front passenger's airbag)

Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites the inflator charge(s) lf
battery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the voltage regulator and the back-up power clrcult
resoectivelv will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
(1) The impact sensor must activate. and send electric signals to the mlcroprocessor'
(2) The microprocessor must compute the signals' and must send signals to the airbag inflator(s)'
{3) The inflator(s) must ignite and deploy the airbag(s)'

Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), the SRS indicator light comes
on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally
lf the liglt does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormal-
ity in the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunctlon, and the data link circuit passes on the infor-
mation from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This intormation can be read with the Honda PGM Tesler con-
nected to the DLC (16P).
