Fuel System
Status
Fuel system status is indicated as "open" or "closed".
Closed: Based on the A,/F Sensor output, the ECM
determines the airlfuel ratio and controls the amount of
injected fuel.
Open: lgnoring Ay'F Sensor output, the ECM refers to
signals from the throttle position {TP), manifold absolute
pressure (MAP), intake air temperature (lAT), barometric
pressure (BARO), and engine coolant temperature (ECT))
sensors to control the amount of iniected fuel.
At idle speed: closedYES
Short Term
FuelTrim
The airlfuel ratio correction coefficient for correcting the
amount of injected fuel when the fuel system status
is "closed." When the ratio is leaner than the
sloichiometric ratio, the ECM increases short term fuel
trim gradually, and the amount of iniected fuel increases.
The airlfuel ratio gradually gets richer, causing a lower
oxygen content in the exhaust gas. Consequently, the
short term fuel trim is lowered, and the ECM reduces the
amount of injected fuel.
This cvcle keeps the airlfuel ratio close to the
stoichiometric ratio when in closed loop status.
o.7 1.5YES
Long Term
Fuel Trim
Long term fuel trim is computed from short term fuel trim
and indicates changes occurring in the fuel supply system
over a long period.
lf long term fuel trlm is higher than 1.00, the amounl of
injected fuel must be increased. lf it is lower than 1.00, the
amount of injected fuel must be reduced.

PGM-FI System
The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-Fl) system is a
sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Air Conditioning {A/C) Compressor Glutch Relay
When the ECfM receives a demand for cooling from the
Ay'C system, it delays the compressor from being
energized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth
transition to the AVC mode.
Air Fuel Ratio lA/Fl Sensor
The Ay'F Sensor operates over a wide airlfuel range. The
Ay'F Sensor is installed upstream of the TWC, and sends
signals to the ECM which varies the duration of fuel
injection accordingly.

The VTEC mechanism changes the valve lift and timing by using more than one cam profile.

How to Set Readiness Codes
Malfunction lndicator Lamp (MlL) Indication
(ln relation to Readiness Codesl
The vehicle has certain "readiness codes" that are part
of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems.
lf the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone
dead, if the DTCS have been cleared, or if the ECM has
been reset, these codes are set to incomplete. In some
states, part of the emission testing is to make su re these
codes are set to complete. lf all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the emission test, or the
test cannot be finished.
To check ifthe readiness codes are complete, turn the
ignition switch ON (ll), but do not start the engine. The
MIL will come on for 15 20 seconds. lf it then goes off,
the readiness codes are complete. lf it blinks several
times, one or more readiness codes are not complete.
To set readlness codes from incomplete to complete.
do the procedure for the appropriate code.

L
Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness
Code
NOTE:. Do not turn the ignition switch off during the
procedure.
. All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is
disconnected or when the ECM is cleared with the
OBD ll scan tool or Honda PG lvl Tester.. Low ambient temperatures or excessive slop-and-go
traffic may increase the drive time needed to switch
the readiness code from incomplete to complete.' The readiness code will not switch to com Dlete until
all the enable criteria are met.. lf a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the
MIL to come on. the readiness code cannot be set to
comDlete until vou correct the fault.
Enable Criteria. ECT at 158"F (70'C) or higher.. Intake air temperature (lAT) at 20"F (-7'C) or higher.. Vehicle speed is steady, and vehicle speed sensor
(VSS) reads more then 25 mph (13km/h).
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link \
connector (DLCi, and bring up the tool's generic \"
OBD ll mode.
Start the engine.
Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions
with short periods of steady cruise. After about
5 miles (3 km), the readiness code should switch
from incomplete to complete.
lf the readiness code is still set to incomplete, check
for a temporary DTC. lf there is no DTC, one or
more of the enable crlteria were probably not met;

NOTE:
All readiness code are cleared when the batterV is
disconnected or when the ECM is cleared with the
OBD ll scan tool or Honda PGM Tester.
The enable criteria must be repeated if the intake air
temperature (lAT) drops lower than 36'F (20"C) from
its value at engine $an up.
Enable Criteria
At engine start up, ECT and IAT are higher than 32'F(0"C) , but lower than 95'F (35"C).
At engine start up, the ECT and IAT are within 12'F(7'C) of each other.
Procedure
1. Connect the scan tool to the vehicle's data link
connector (DLC), and bring up the tool's generic
OBD ll mode.
2. Start the engine.
3. Test-drive the vehicle under stop-and-go conditions
with short periods of steady cruise. After about
2.5 miles (1.6 km), the readiness code should
switch f rom incomplete to complete.
4. lf the readinesscode isstill setto incomplete, check
for a temporary DTC. lf there is no DTC, one or
more of the enable criteria were probably not met;
repeat the procedure.
