Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
Diagnostic Trouble Gode IDTCI Indication
NOTE: This operation can also be done with the Honda pGM Tester.
1. Connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector (2P) located on the passenger's side of the centerconsote.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
NOTE; Do not press the brake pedal whenturningthe ignition switch.
3 Record the blinking frequency of the ABS indicator. The brinking frequency indicates the DTc.
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF. and remove the SCS service connector.NOTE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) will stay on after the engine is startsd if the SCS seryica connecror rsconnected.
5. Erase the DTC.
Conditions for DTC indication. The vehicle is stopped.. The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON flt).. The brake pedal is released.. The SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure.
The DTC indication stops and the ABS control unit axecutos tha softwaro lunction if at least one of tho following condi-tions i3 satisfiod:
. The vehicle is not stoooed.. The ABS control unit receives the normal signal (which is for the ABS control unit) from a Honda pGM Tesrer.. The SCS service connector is disconnectod during this procedure.

Pull out the evaporator temperature sensor from
the evaporator fins.
Remove the self-tapping screws and the clamps
from the housings.
Carefully separate the housings, then remove the
evaporator.
lf necessary, remove the expansion valve When
loosening the nuts of the expansion valve, use a sec-
ond wrench to hold the expansion valve or the evapo-
rator line. Otherwise, they can be damaged.
6. Reassemble the evaporator in the reverse order of
disassembly. Make note of these items.
. Replace the O-rings with new ones at each fitting,
and apply a thin coat of refrigerant oil before
installing them. Be sure to use the right O-rings
for HFC-'134a (R-134a) to avoid leakage.
. Install the expansion valve capillary tube with
the capillary tube in contact with the outlet line
directly, and wrap it with electricaltape.
. Reinstall the evaporator temperature sensor to
its original location.
. Make sure that there is no air leakage.
