Starting System
Starter Test
NOTE: The air temperature must be between 59 and'100'F (15 and 38"C) before testing.
Recommended Procedure:
. Use a staner system tester.
. Connect and operate the equipment in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
. Test and troubleshoot as described.
Alte.nate Procedure:
. Use the following equipment:- Ammeter, 0 - 400 A- Voltmeter, 0 - 20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
Tachometer,0 - 1,200 rpm
. Hook up a voltmeter and ammeter as shown.
NOTE: After this test, or any subsequent repair. reset
the ECM/PCM to clear any codes (see section 1 1).
Check the Starter Engagement:
'1. Remove the No. 44 (15 A) fuse from the under-hood
fuse/relay box.
2. Turn the ignition switch to START (lll) with the shift
lever in E or E position (A/T) or with the clutch
pedal depressed {M/T). The starter should crank the
eng ine.
. lf the starter does not crank the engine, go to
step 3.
. lf it cranks the engine erratically or too slowly, go
to "Check for Wear and Damage" on the next
page.

Check the battery, battery positive cable, ground.
staner cut relay, and the wire connections for loose-
ness and corrosion. Test again.
lf the staner still does not crank the engine, go to
step 4.
Unplug the connector (BLK /VHT wire and solenoid
terminal) from the starter.
Connect a jumper wire from the baftery positive (+)
terminal to the solenoid terminal.
The starter should crank the engine.
. lf the starter still does not crank the engine,
remove it, and diagnose its internal problem.
. lf the starter cranks the engine, go to step 6.
Check the ignition switch (see section 23).
Check the starter cut relay {see section 23}.
Check the IVT gear position switch (A/T) or the clutch
interlock switch (M[).
Check for an open in the wire between the ignition
switch and starter.

Gharging System
Troubleshooting
lf the charging system light does not come on or does not go off, or the battery is dead or low, test the following items inthe order listed below:
1. Battery (see section 23)
2. Charging system light
3. Voltage
4. Alternator control system (U.S.A. model)
5. Alternator/regulator

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.

COOLANT TEMPERATURE
Coolant Temperature Sending Unit
Testing
1. Disconnect the YEUGRN wire from the coolant tem
perature sending unit.

POSITIVETERMINAL
YEL/GRN WIRE(Covered withinsulation)
2. Using an ohmmeter, measure the change in resis-
tance between the positive terminal and the engine
(ground) with the engine cold and with the engine
at operating temPerature.
Temperature133.F (56'C)1A5 - 212F

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.

ll. Engine Controt Module (EcM)/Powertrain Control Module {PCM) Reset Procedure
Either of the following actions will reset the ECM/PCM.
. use the oBD ll scan tool or Honda PGM Tester to clear the ECM's/PCM's memory. (see the oBD ll scan tool or
Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions )
. Turn the ignition switch oFF. Remove the BACK UP (RADIO) (7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box for 10
seconos.
lll. Final Procedure {this procedure must be done after any troubleshooting)
1. Remove the SCS Service Connector if it is connected. lf the SCS service connector is connected. and there are no
DTCS stored in the ECM/PCM, the MIL will stay on when the ignition switch is turnsd oN (ll).
2. Do the ECM/PCM Reset Procedure.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF
4. Disconnect the OBD ll scan tool orHonda PGM Tester from the Data Link Connector ( 16P)'
