Indicator Light Testing
NOTE: Refer to section 23forthe lowfuel lndicator circuit
clragram.
1. Check the No. 25 METER (7.5 A) fuse in the under-
dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Park the vehicle on level ground.
@ Do not smoke while working on the
fuel system. Keep open flame away trom the work
aroa. Drain fuel only into an approved container.
Drain the fuel into an aoDroved container. Then
install the drain bolt with a new washer.
Add less than 8 f (2.1 U.S. Gal. 1.8 lmp. Gal) of fuel,
and turn the ignition switch ON {ll). The low fuel indi-
cator light should come on within four minutes.
INDICATON LIGHT
. lf the light comes on within four minutes, go tostep 8.
. lf the light does not come on within four min-
utes. go to step 5.
Remove the seat cushion (see section 20).
Remove the fuel tank access panel from the floor,
and disconnect the 5P connector from the fuel pump,
Connect the No. 1 and No. 2 terminals with a jumper
wire.
. lf the lightcomeson, checkthe sending unit.. lf the light does not come on, check for:- an open in the GRN/yEL wire between thefuel unit and fuel gauge assembly.- blown bulb.- poor ground (G552).

Emission Control System
System Description
The emission control system includes, a Three Way
Catalytic Converter {TWC), Positive Crankcase Ventilation
(PCV) svstem and Evaporative Emission (€VAP) Control
system. The emission control system is designed to meet
federal and state emission standards.
Tailpipe Emission
Inspsction
!@ Do not smoke during this procsdura. Keep
any open tlame away from your work area.
1. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle,
Connect a tachometer.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the idle speed, (see
page 11-169, 170).
Warm up and calibrate the CO meter according to the
meter manufacturer's instructions.
Check idle CO with the headlights, heater blower, rear
window defogger, cooling fan, and air conditioner off.
(Canada) Pull the parking brake lever up. Start the
engine, then check that the headlights are off.
CO meter should indicate 0.1% maximum.

Clearance InsPection
1. Measure the clearance between the shift arm A and
select arm.
Standard: 0.05 - 0 25 mm (0.002 - 0'01 inl
Service Limit:0.5 mm (0.02 in)
lf the clearance are more than the service limit,
measure the diameter of the select arm pln
Standard: 7.9 - 8.0 mm (0.311 - 0.315 in)
SELECTARM
lf the diameter of the select arm pin is less than
the service limit, replace the select arm wrtn a
new one.
lf the diameter of the select arm pin is within the
service limit, replace the shift arm A with a new
one.

Road Test
NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator tan comes on).
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, see page 14-160.
2. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. start the engine, then shift to E {'97 - 98) or E {'gg - 00) position
while pressing the brake pedal. Press the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
3. Repeat same test in E position ('97 - 98 models).
4. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the E or E position. Check that the shift points occur at approximate speeds
shown on a flat road. Also check for abnormal noise and clutch slippage.
Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. Monitor it with the Honda PGM Tester or as follows:
a. Unbolt the PCM for road testing; reJer to page 14-58.
b. Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between these terminals on the PCM:
. '97 Model: Between terminals D'! (+) and A9 (-) or A22 {-}
. '98 - OO Models; Between terminals C27 (+) and 820 (-) or 822 {-)
