1. Reset the ECM (see page 11-4).
2. Check the engine oil level, and refill ifnecessary.
3. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load {in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on.
4. Road testthe vehicle:
Accelerate in the 1st gear to an engine speed over
4.000 rpm. Hold the speed for at least 2 seconds. lf
DTC P1259 is not repeated during the first road test,
repeat the test two more times.
ls DTC P1259 indicated?
YES Go to step 5.
NO-lntermittent failure, system is OK at this time
Check the oil consumption if oil was added in step
2. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the VTEC solenoid valve, the VTEC oil pressure
switch, and at the ECI\4. I
5, Turn the ignitjon switch OFF.
6. Disconnect the VTEC oil pressureswitch 2P
connector.
7. Check for continuity between VTEC oil pressure
switch 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2
VTEC OIL PRESSURE SWITCH2P CONNECTOR
Terminal side of male terminals
Is there continuity?
YES-Go to step 8.
NO Replace the VTEC oil pressure switch.l
8. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
9. Measure voltage between VTEC oil pressure switch

the manufacturer's instructions. then remove the
self-locking nut (B)while holding the damper shaft(C) with a hex wrench (D). Do not compress the
spring more than necessary to remove the nut,

should extend smoothly and constantly when
compression is released. lf it does not, the gas is
leaking and the damper should be replaced.
Check for oil leaks, abnormal noises, and binding
during these tests.

Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul
Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health.
' Avoid breathing dust particles.
. Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner'
Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and installthe caliper, and note these items:
. Donotspill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake f luid gets on the paint, wash it off
immediately with water.. To prevent dripping. cover disconnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.
. Cleanall partsinbrakefluidandairdry;blowoutall passageswith compressed air'
. Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles
. Replace pans with new ones as specified in the illustration.. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter contaminates the brake fluid.
. When reusing pads, always reinstallthem in their original positions to prevent loss of b ra king efficie ncy.
. Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
. Use only clean Honda DOT 3 brake fluid. Non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the
system.. Do not mix different brands ot brake fluid as they may not be compatible.
. Coatthe piston, piston seal groove, and caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
. Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
. Replaceall rubber parts with new ones whenever disassembled.
. After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference. and twisting.

Rear Window Replacement
NOTE:. Put on gloves to protect your hands.. Wear eye protection while cutting the glass adhesive
with piano wire.. Use seat covers to avoid damaging any surfaces.. Do not damage the rear window defogger grid lines
and terminals.
1.Remove these items:
. Hatch lower trim panel (see page 20-53). Hatch spoiler (see page 20-99)
Remove these items:
. High mount brake light {see page 22-821. Rear window wiper motor {see page 22-1461
Disconnect the rear window defogger connectors
(A).
4.lf the old rear window is to be reinstalled, make
alignment marks across the glass and body with a
grease pencrl,
Apply protective tape along the inside and outside
edges of the hatch. Using an awl, make a hole
through the adhesive from inside the vehicle at the
corner portion of the rearwindow. Push the piano
wire through the hole, and wrap each end around a
piece of wood,
6. With a helper on the outside, pull the piano wire (A)
back and Jorth in a sawing motion. Hold the piano
wire as close to the rear window (B) as possible to
prevent damage to the hatch, and carefully cut
through the adhesive {C} around the entire rear
Cutting positions:
7. Carefully remove the rear window.
