)Actuator Test
't.Disconnect the actuator cable from the actuator rod
and the 4P connector.
Connect battery power to the No 4 terminal and
ground to the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 terminals.
Connect a vacuum pump to the vacuum hose Then
apply vacuum to the actuator.

5. With voltage and vacuum still applied, try to pull the
actuator rod out by hand. You should not be able to
oull it out. ll you can, it is defective

Disconnect ground from the No.3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5, and disconnect ground
from the No. 1 terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lI it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged. the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
It you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-
pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.
Replace the actuator'

Storing Transmitter Codes
. The codes of up to four transmitters can be stored in the control unit. {lf a {ifth code is stored, the code which was
stored tirst will be erased.)
. When the system enters the registration mode, all previously slored codes will be erased.
. The system leaves the registration mode and returns to the normal mode if you
- turn the valet swirch OFF, or
- turn the ignition switch OFF, or
- do not press the transmitter button for more than 10 seconds
Procedure:
NOTE: lt is important to maintain the time limits between steps
VALET SWITCH
NOTE: lf the tuner is turned ON, it willgo off and come on again when the reg-
istration procedure is completed-

NOTE: lf you want to register the codesof more than one transmitter, repeat step4 within 10 seconds with the next trans'mitter.
NOTE: After storing its code, make sure
the transmitter works properly bYrepeatedly pressing one ot its buttons.(The system starts to work when Youpress any transmitter button six times-)

Storing transmitter codes;
The codes of up to three transmitters can be read into
the keyless receiver unit memory. (lf a fourth code is
stored, the code which was input first will be erased.)
NOTE: lt is important to maintain the time limits
between the steps.
'1. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
2. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or unlock
button with the transmitter aimed at the vehicle.
3. Within I to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Within 1 to 4 sec., turn the ignition switch ON 1ll).
5. Within 1 to 4 sec., push the transmitter lock or
unlock button with the transmitter aimed at the

Within 8 sec., aim the transmitters (up to three)
whose codes you want to store at the receiver, and
press the transmitter lock or unlock buttons.

Precautions/ Procedures
)General Precautions
r Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it Do
not install any part that shows signs of being dropped
or improperly handled' such as dents, cracks or defor-
mation:
- Airbags- Cable reel
- SRS unit
-
Use only a digital multimeter to check the system lf
it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output ls
1O mA (0.01 A) or less when switched to the smallest
value in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher
output could damage the airbag circuit or cause acci-
dental deployment and possible injury'
I Do not install used SRS parts from another vehicle
When making SRS repairs, use only new pans'
) Except when performing electrical inspections'
always disconnect both the negative cable and posl-
tive cable from the battery, and wait at least three
minutes before beginning work
r Replacement of the combination light and wiper/
washer switches and cruise control switch can be
done without removing the steering wheel:
- Combinalion light and wiper/washer switch replace
ment, see section 23
- Cruise control sevresume switch replacement' see
section 23.
. Whenever the ignition switch is ON {ll), or has been
turned OFF for less than three minutes' be careful not
to bump the SRS unit; the airbag(s) could accidental-
ly deploy and cause damage or injury'
. Whenever the airbag{s) has(have) been activated'
replace the SRS unit.l,

Airbag Handling and Storage
Do not try to disassemble the airbag assembly. lt has no
serviceable parts Once an airbag has been operated
(deployed). it cannot be repaired or reused'
For temporary storage of the airbag assembly during ser-
vice. olease observe the following precauttons:
. store the .emoved airbag assemblv with the pad sur-
face uo The driver's (and front passenger's) airbag
connecto''s'-as {have) a built.in short contact (see

AIRBAG CONNECTORS(With built in shon contact)
. Store the removed airbag assembly on a secure flat
surface away from any high heat source {exceeding
212"FI1OO"CJ and free of any oil' grease, detergent or
water.
CAUTION: lmproper handling or storage can intern'lJy
damage the airbag assembly, making it inoperativo
lf you suspect the airbag assembly has been dam€cd'
inslall a new unit. and relsr lo the Deployment/DisPG'l
olocedules for disposing ol the damaged airbag

Precautions/Procedu res
SRS Unit Precautions
Take extra care when painting or doing body work inthe area below the dashboard. Avoid direct exDosureof the SRS unit or wiring to heat guns, welding. orsprayang equipment.
Disconnect the airbag connector(s) before discon-necting SRS harness connectors (see page24-1|1J.
After any degree of frontal body damage, or after acollision without airbag deployment, inspect the SRSunit for physical damage. lf it is dented. cracked, ordeformed, replace it.
Be sure the SRS unit is installed securely.
Do not disassemble the SRS unit.
Store the SRS unit in a cool (less than about 104.F/40"C) and dry (less than 80% humidity, no moisture)place. Do not spill water or oil on the SRS unit, andkeep it away from dust.
During installation or replacement, be careful not tobump (impact wrench, hammer, etc.) the area aroundthe SRS unit. The airbag(s) could accidentally deptoyand cause damage or injury.
24-8
Inspection After Deployment
After a collision ln which the airbag(s) was (were)
deployed, replace the SRS unit, and inspect the following:
1. Inspect all the SRS wire harnesses. Replace. don,trepair, any damaged harnesses.
2. Inspect the cable reel for heat damage. lf there is anydamage, replace the cable reel.
3. After the vehicle is completely repaired, turn theignition switch on. lf the SRS indicator light comeson for about six seconds and then goes off. the SRSsystem is OK. lf the indicator light does not functionproperly, go to SRS Troubleshooting.
