Lubrication Points
For the details of lubrication points and type of lubricants to be applied. refer to the illustrated index and various work pro-
cedures (such as Assembly/Reassembly, Replacement, Overhaul, Installation, etc.) contained in each section.

r1: Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid {MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it
does not contain the orooer additives.*2: Always use Genuine Honda Premium Formula Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect
shift qualitv.+3r Always use Genuine Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the
life of the system.*4: Always use Genuine Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmis-
sion fluid can caused increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Starting System
Starter Test (cont'dl
Check lor Wear and D8mage
The starter should crank the engine smoothly and
steadily. lf the staner engages, but cranks the engine
erratically, remove it, and inspect the starter drive gear
and torque converter ring gear or flywheel ring gear for
oamage.
Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding or
slipping when the armature is rotated with the drive
gear held. lf damaged, replace the gears.
Check Cranking Voltage and Current Draw
Cranking voltage should be no less than 8.7 volts on Ay'T
models, and 8.0 volts on M/T moders.
Current draw should be no more than 230 amperes on
A,/T models, and 200 amperes on M/T models.
lf cranking voltage is too low, or current draw too high,
check for:
. dead or low battery.
a open circuit in starter armature commutator seg,
ments.
. starter armature dragging.
. shorted armature winding.
. excessive drag in engine.
Check Cranking rpm
Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 rpm.
lf speed is too low, check for:
a loose baftery or starter terminals.
. excesslvely worn staner brushes
. open circuit in commutator segments.
. dirty or damaged helical splines or drive gear.
a defective drive gear overrunning clutch.
Check Starter Disengagement
With the shift lever in @ or @ position (A,iT) or with the
clutch pedal depressed {M/T). turn the ignition switch to
START (lll). and release to ON (ll).
The starter drive gear should disengage from the torque
converter ring gear or flywheel ring gear when you
release the key.
lf the drive gear hangs up on the torque converter ring
gear or flywheel ring gear, check for
. solenoid plunger and switch malfunction.
. dirty drive gear assembly or damaged overrunning
clutch.
Starter Solenoid Test

terminal and lhe armature housing (ground). The
coil is OK if there is continuity.

lgnition Control Module (lCMl Input Test
NOTE:
. See section 11 when the malfunction indicator lamp(MlL) comes on.
. Perform an input test for the ignition control module(lCM) after finishing the fundamental tests for the
ignition system and the fuel and emissions systems.
. '97 -'98 models: The tachometer should operate nor-
mally if the ICM is OK.
L Remove the distributor ignition (Dl) cap, the distrib-
utor ignition (Dl) rotor, and the leak cover.

Turn the ignition switch ON {ll). Check for voltage
between the BLK,^/EL wire and body ground. There
should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no battery voltage, check the BLK/rEL
wire betlveen the ignition switch and the lclvl.
. lf there is baftery voltage, go to step 4.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Check for voltage
between the WHT/BLU wire and body ground. There
should be battery voltage.
. lf there is no batteryvoltage, check:- ignition coil.- WHT/BLU wire between the ICM and ignition
corl.
. lf there is battery voltage, go to step 5,
'97 model: Disconnect the ECM/PCM connector A(32P). Check for continuity on the YEL/GRN wire
between the ICM and ECM/PCM. There should be
continuity.'98 - 00 models: Disconnect the ECM,PCM connector
B (25P). Check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire
between the ICM and ECM/PCM. There should be
continuity.
Check for continuity on the YEUGRN wire to body
ground. There should be no continuity.
Reconnect the ECM/PClvl connector.
'97 -'98 models: Check for continuity on the BLU
wire between the test tachometer connector and the
lCM. There should be continuity.
'97 -'98 models: Check for continuity on the BLU
wire to body ground. There should be no continuity.
lf all the tests are normal, replace the lCM.
