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 {-)

Stall Speed
Test
CAUTION:
. To prevent transmission damage, do not te3t stall speed for mors than 10 s€€onds at a time'
. Do not shift the lever while raising th€ engine spsed.
. Be sure to remove tho pressuro gauge bofore testing stall speed,
1. Before testing, check the transmission fluid level, s€e page 14-160.
2. Engage the parking brake and block all four wheels
3. Connect the tachometer, and start the engane.
4. Make sure the Ay'C switch is OFF
5. After the engine haswarmed upto normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on),shiftinto@ position.
6. Fully press the brake pedal and accelerator for 6 to 8 seconds, and note engine speed '
j. A|ow 2 minutes for cooling, then repeat the test in E, E ('97 - 98). E {'99 - 00}, and E positions. Stall speed should
be the same in E, E, E, tr. and E positions
Stall Speed rpm:
Specitication: 2,550 rpm
S€rvice Limit: ?,400 - 2.700 rpm
TROUBLEPROBAELE CAUSE
Stall rpm high in El, E, E, E and E
positions
ATF pump output is low
Clogged ATF strainer
Pressure regulator valve stuck closed
Slipping clutch
Stall rpm high in E positionSlippage of 1st clutch, 1st-hold clutch, or 1st gear one-way clutch
Stall rpm high in E positionSlippage of 2nd clutch
stall rpm high in E! or E positionSlippage of 1st clutch or 1st gear one-way clutch
Stall rpm high in E positionSlippage of 4th clutch
Stall rpm low in [dd, E. E, E, ana E
positions
. Engine output low
. Torque converter one-way clutch slipping
