lgnition Timing Inspection
1.
4.
5.
Connect the Honda PGM Tester to the data link
connector (DTC), and check for DTC'S. lf a DTC is
present, diagnose and repair the cause before
inspecting the ignition timing.
Startthe engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Neutral) until the radiator fan comes on,
then let it idle.
Check the idle speed (see page 11-138).
Follow the tester's prompts in the "SCS" menu
{see the tester operator's manual),
Connect the timing light to the service loop.
o
6. Point the light toward the pointer (A) on the cam
chain case. Check the ignition timing under no load
conditions: headlights, blower fan. rear window
defogger, and air conditioner are not operaling. lf
the ignition timing differs from the specification,
and there are no engine control module {ECM)DTcs,
replace the ECM (see page 11-4)

6. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in Neutral) until the radiator fan comes on,
then let it idle.
7. Raise the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it
there.
8. Turn the headlights (high beam) on, and measure
voltage at the under-hood fuse/relay box terminal.
ls the voltage between 13.9 and 15.1 v?
YES-Go to step 9.
NO Repair or replace the alternator components
(see page 4-30).1
9. Read the amperage at '13.5 V.
NOTE: Adjust the voltage by turning the blower
motor, rear window defogger, brake lights. etc. ON.
ls the amperage 604 ot morc?
YES-Alternator/regulator operation is OK. I

Alternator Control System Test
NOTE: After troubleshooting, perform the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).
1 . Check for proper operation of the electrical load
detector (ELD) by checking the malfunction
indicator lamp (MlL) (see page 1 l-3). lf a DTC is
present, diagnose and repair the cause before
continuing with this test.
2. Disconnect the engine wire harness 6P connector
from the starter sub harness 6P connector.
3. Start the engine, and turn the headlights (high
beam) ON,
4. Measure voltage between the engine wire harness
6P connector terminal No. 2 and the positive
terminal of lhe battery.
