Radiator
Engine Coolant Refilling and Bleeding (cont'dl
Mix the recommended antifreeze with an equal
amount of water in a clean container.
NOTE:
. Always use Genuine Honda Antifreeze/Coolant.
Using a non-Honda coolant can result in corro-s\on, ca

o. fail.
For best corrosion protection, the coolant con-
centration must be maintained year-round at50% minimum. Coolant concentrations less than
50% may not provide sufficient protection against
corrosion or freezing. Coolant concentrationsgreater than 60% will impair cooling efficiency
and are not recommended.
Do not use additional rust inhibitors or anti-rustproducts; they may not be compatible with the
coolant.

9. Pour coolant into the radiator uD to the base of the
filler neck. When pouring engine coolant. do not let
coolant spill on any electrical pans or the paint. lf
any coolant spills, rinse it oft immediately.
Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the
radiator fan comes on at least twice).
Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator,
add coolant if needed.
Put the radiator cap on tightly. then run the engine
again and check for leaks.

Goolant Temperature Gauge
Gauge Testing
1. Check the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash
fuse/relay box before testin9.
2. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF, then discon-
nect the YEL/GRN wire from the coolant tempera-
ture sending unit. and ground it with a jumper wire.
YEL/GRNWIRE
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll). Check that the
pointer of the coolant temperature gauge starts
moving toward the "H" mark. Turn the ignition
switch OFF before the pointer reaches "H" on the
gauge dial. Failure to do so may damage the gauge.
lf the pointer of the gauge does not move at all,
check for an open in the YEL/GRN wire.
lf the wires are OK, replace the coolant temperature
gauge.
lf the coolant temperature gauge works, test the
coolant temperature sending unit.

Testing
1. Disconnect the YEUGRN wire from the coolant tem
perature sending unit.

2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the change in resis-
tance between the positive terminal and the engine

at operating temPerature.

3. lf the readings are substantially different from the
specitications above, inspect the coolant level and
the cooling system. lf the cooling system is OK,
replace the sending unit.

How to Read Flowcharts
A flowchart is designed to be used from start to final repair. lt's like a map showing you the shortest distance. But beware:
lf you go off the "map" anywhere but a "stop" symbol, you can easily get lost.
brARn
t.-OotO tw"t Describes the conditions or situation to start a troubleshooting flowchart.
FcTloNl Asks you to do something; perform a test, set up a condition etc.
@ Asks you about the result of an action, then sends you in the appropriate troubleshooting direction.
fS-OPl The end of a series of actions and decisions, describes a final repair action and sometimes directs you to
(bold type) an earlier part of the flowchart to confirm your repair.
NOTE:
. The term "lntermittent Failure" is used in these charts. lt simply means a system may have had a failure, but it checks
out OK at this time. lf the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) on the dash does not come on, check for poor connections
or loose wires at all connectors related to the circuit that you are troubleshooting (see illustration below).
. Most of the troubleshooting flowcharts have you reset the Engine Control Module (EcM)/Powertrain Control Module(PCM) and try to duplicate the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). lf the problem is intermittent and you can't duplicate the
code, do not continue though the flowchart. To do so will only result in confusion and, possibly, a needlessly replaced
ECM/PCM,
o "Open" and "Short" are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an acci-
dental connection of a wire to ground or to another wire. ln simple electronics, this usually means something won't
work at all. In complex electronics (like ECM'S/PCM'S), this can sometimes mean something works, but not the way it's
suooosed to.

PGM-Fl System
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Fuel iniecior Timing and Duration
The ECM/PCM contains memories for the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressure. The
basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is further modified by signals sent from various sensors
to obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve (lAC Valve)
When the engine is cold, the Ay'C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is depressed, the P/S load
is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM/PCM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain the correct idle speed.
lgnition Timing Control
o The ECM/PCM contains memories for basic ionition timing at various engine speeds and manifold air flow rates.
lgnition timing is also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.
. A knock control system was adopted which sets the ideal ig nition timing for the octane rating of the gasoline used.*s
Other Control Funstions
1. Starting Control
When the engine is started. the ECM/PCM provides a rich mixture by increasing fuel injector duration.
2. Fuel Pump Control
. When the ignition switch is initially turned on (ll). the ECMiPCM suppli€s ground to the PGM-FI main relay that
supplies current to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.
. When the engine is running, the ECM/PCM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies current to the
fuel oumo.
. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM/PCM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relay which
cuts current to the fuel pump.
