1999 HONDA CIVIC specification

lgnition System
lgnition Coil Test
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the
terminals. lf the resistance is not within soecifications.
replace the ignition coil.
NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature;
specifications are at 68'F (20'C).
HITACHI:
Primary Winding Resistance
{Betwesn the A and B lerminalsl;

lgnition Wire lnspection and Test
CAUTION: Carelully remove the ignition wires bypulling on the rubber boots, Do not bend the wires; you
might break them inside.
'1. Check the condition of the ignition wire terminals. lf
any terminal is corroded, clean it, and if it is broken
or distorted, replace the ignition wire.
Check for broken,corroded, and bentlermrnals.IGNITION WIRE
Connect ohmmeter probes and measure resistance.
lgnition Wire Resistance:
25 k0 max. at 68"F (20"C)
IGNITION WIRE
3. lf resistance exceeds 25 kO, replace the ignition wire.

JRotor Slip Ring Test
1. Check the resistance betlveen the slip rings
There should be 1 8 - 3 0 ohms
. lf resistance meets the specification, go to step 2.
. lf resistance does not meet the specification,
reolace the alternator'
SLIP BINGS
2. Check that there is no continuity between the slip
rings and the rotor or rotor shaft.
3. lf the rotor fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.
Stator Test
'1. Check that there is continuity between each pair of
leads.
CORE
Check that there is no continuity between each lead
and the coil core.
lf the coil fails either continuity check, replace the
alternator.

Alternator Brush InsPection
Separate the drive-end housing from the rear hous-
ing as described on page 23-121
Separate the rear housing from the stator/rectifier
assembly by removing the four screws and the ter-
minal nutfrom the rear housing {see page 23-121}
lvleasure the length of the brushes with vernrer
calrpers.
Alternator Brush Length:
O Standard {NEW} @ Service Limit
19.0 mm (0.75 in) 1 5.0 mm (0 20 in)
lf the brushes are less than the service limit, replace
them.

Headlights/Front Turn
Signal/Parking Lights
Daytime Running Lights Resistor
Test (Canada)
CAUTION: The daytime running lights resistor becomes
very hot when the daytime running lights are on; do not
touch il or the attaching hardware immediately after
the lights have been iurned off.
1. Disconnect the 3P connector from the resistor.
Terminal side of male
terminals
N4easure the resistance between the resistor termi
nals (No. 1 and No. 2) and the power terminal No. 3.
Resistance: 1.6 O t 0.08 O
Replace the resistor with a new one if any of the
resistances are beyond specification.
It-
Replacement
CAUTION: Halogen headlights b€come very hot in use;
do not touch them or the attaching hardware immedi-
ately after they have been turned off.
1. Remove the front bumper (see section 20).
2. Remove the mounting bolts,
3. Disconnect each connector, then remove the head-
lighVfront turn signal/parking light assembly.
