SRS comoonents are located in this area. Review the SRS
component locations, precautions. and procedures in the

1. Remove the instrument panel lower cover (see sec-
tion 20).
2. Disconnect the ignition switch 6P connector at the

Check that the key cannot be removed with power
connected to the No. 5 terminal and ground connected
to the No. 3 terminal.
lf the key cannot be removed. the key interiock

Shift Lock Solenoid Test
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS
component locations, precautions, and procedures in the
SRS section (24) before performing repairs or service,
'1. Remove the instrument panel lower cover (see sec-
tion 20).
2. Remove the steering column covers (see section 17).
3. Disconnect the shift lock solenoid 2P connector.
Connect the No. 1 terminal of the shift lock solenoid
connector to the battery positive tgrminal, and con-
nect the No. 2 terminal to the battery nogative ter-
mrnal.
Check that the shift lever can be moved from the E
oosition. Release the batterv terminals from the
shift lock solenoid connector. Move the shift lever
back to the E position, and make sure it locks.
NOTE: Do not connect power to the No. 2 (-) termi-
nal {reverse polarity) or you will damage the diode
inside the solenoid.

6. Check that the shift lock releases when the release
lever is pushed, and check that it locks when the
release lever is released,
7. lf the solenoid does not work, replace it.

SUPPLEN\EN AL RES\RA(N SYSTES{ (SRS\
This model has an SRS which includes a driver's airbag in the steering wheel hub. a passenger's airbag in the dashboardabove the glove box ('97 - 00 models), and seat belt tensioners in the seat belt retractors ('98 - 00 models). Informationnecessary to safely service the SRS is included in this Service Manual. ltems marked with an asterisk (*) on the contentspage include, or are located near, SBS components. Servicing. disassembling or replacing these items will require specialprecautions and tools, and should only be done by an authorized Honda oearer.
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to peFonal iniury or death in the event of a sevore trontalcollision. allSRS service work must be performod by an authorized Honda dealer.lmproper service procedurgs, including incorrect removal and installalion of the SRS, could lead to personal iniurycaused by unintontional deployment of th€ airbags {'97 - 00 models), and seat belt tensioners ('98 - 00 modelsl.Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may lail in case ot a collision, or the airbags may deploy when theignition switch is ON (lll.
SRS electrical wiring harnesses are identitied by yellow colof coding. Ralated components are located in the steeringcolumn, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, and in the dashboard above the glove box. Do not use elec-trical test equipment on these cilcuits,

Troubleshooting
General Troubleshootin g
Check the following before you begin:
. Has the suspension been modified in a way that would affect steering?
. Are tire sizes, tire variety and air pressure correct?
. ls the steering wheel original equipment or equivalent?
. ls the power steering pump belt properly adjusted?
. ls steering fluid reservoir filled to proper level?
. ls the engine idle speed correct and steady?
Hard Steering (Check the power assist, see page 17-12. lf the force is over 29 N (3.0 kgl 6.6 lbfl, proceed with this troubleshooting.i
Abnormalthiidpressure (Iluidpressure is toohigh)
Relief pressuretoo low
Faulty valve body unit
Abnormal
Check the teed and return circuit lines and hosebetween the gearbox and pump for clogging anddeformation.
Normal line and hose
Check the pump fluid pressure(see page 17-16 or 17-17).Measure steady state lluid pres-
sure at idle with the pressure con-trol valve and the shut-off valve (it
so equipped) fully open.The fluid pressure should be 1,500kPa (15 kgf/cm,,213 psi)or less.
Normal
Check the flow control valve (see page 17 26).. Check the valv€ lor smooth movement in the hous-ing.. Check the relief valve for leaks.
Check the pump fluid pressure(see page 17-16 or l7-17).Measure pump relief pressure atidle with the pressure controlvalve and the shut'off valve lil soequipped) fully closed.The fluid pressure should be 6,9007,800 kPa (70 - 80 kgflcm,, 1,000- 1,140 psi).
