2002 HONDA PASSPORT engine

232Technical Data
Vehicle Identification
Number (
VIN)
This is the legal identification of the
vehicle. It appears on a plate attached
to the left top of the instrument panel
and can be easily seen through the
windshield from outside the vehicle.
Engine type – W; 6VD1 3.2L
4S6DM58WI24400032
The VIN also appears on the
vehicle’s Certification Label on
the driver’s door lock pillar.
Engine Identification
You can identify your engine from
the
VIN. The eighth character of
the
VIN is the engine code that
gives the engine model (refer to
the illustration).
Some information in this section
may refer to the engine model.
The engine number is stamped on
the left side of the cylinder block
near the starter.
Service Parts Identification
The Vehicle Information Plate
(Service Parts
ID Plate) is
provided on all vehicle models.
It is located on the center dash
wall inside the engine
compartment. The plate lists the
VIN (Vehicle Identification
Number), paint information and
all production options and special

equipment on the vehicle when it
was shipped from the factory. Be
sure to provide this information to
your authorized Honda dealer
when it is necessary to order
parts.
Vehicle Loading Information
The components of your vehicle
are designed to provide
satisfactory service only if the
vehicle is not loaded in excess of
either the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (
GVWR) or the maximum
front and rear Gross Axle Weight
Ratings (
GAWRs). These ratings
are listed on the Vehicle
Certification Label located on the
left door lock pillar.
Your Honda dealer can advise you
of the proper loading conditions
for your vehicle. The use of
selected heavier suspension
components for added durability
purposes does not increase any of
the weight ratings printed on the
Vehicle Certification Label.
Maximum Front and Rear
Axle Weight
The weight of the cargo load must
be properly distributed over both
the front and rear axles. The
Certification Label shows the
maximum weight that the front
axle (front
GAWR) can carry. It
also shows the maximum weight
that the rear axle (rear
GAWR) can
carry. The
GVWR represents the
maximum permissible loaded
weight of the vehicle and takes
into account the engine,
transmission, frame, springs,
brake, axle, and tire capabilities.
Actual loads on the front and rear
axles can only be determined by
weighing the vehicle. This can be
done at highway weight stations
or other such commercial weigh
stations. Consult your Honda
dealer for assistance. The cargo

Fuses
Fuse boxes are installed on the left side of the
instrument panel and the right side of the engine
compartment. Each fuse box contains spare fuse
cartridges.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating
greatly increases the chances of damaging the
electrical system. If you do not have a replacement
fuse with the proper rating for the circuit, install one
with a lower rating.

248Owner Assistance
If you believe that your vehicle
has a defect which could cause a
crash or could cause injury or
death, you should immediately
inform the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
(
NHTSA) in addition to notifying
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
If
NHTSA receives similar
complaints, it may open an
investigation, and if it finds that a
safety defect exists in a group of
vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved
in individual problems between
you, your dealer, or American
Honda Motor Co., Inc. To contact
NHTSA, you may
either call the Auto Safety Hotline
toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or
202-366-0123 in the Washington,
D.C. area) or write to:
NHTSA
U.S. Department of Transportation
Washington, D.C. 20590
You can also obtain other
information about motor vehicle
safety from the Hotline. The burning of gasoline in your
vehicle’
s engine produces several
by-products. Some of these are
carbon monoxide (
CO), oxides of
nitrogen (
NOx), and hydrocarbons
(
HC). Gasoline evaporating from
the tank also produces
hydrocarbons. Controlling the
production of
NOx, CO, and HC is
important to the environment.
Under certain conditions of
sunlight and climate,
NOx and HC
react to form photochemical
“smog.” Carbon monoxide does
not contribute to smog creation,
but it is a poisonous gas.
The Clean Air Act
The United States Clean Air Act
sets standards for automobile
emissions. It also requires that
automobile manufacturers explain
to owners how their emissions
controls work and what to do to
Emissions ControlsReporting Safety Defects

249Owner Assistance
maintain
them. This section
summarizes how the emissions
controls work. Scheduled
maintenance is on page 204.
Crankcase Emissions
Control System
Your vehicle has a Positive
Crankcase Ventilation System.
This keeps gasses that build up in
the engine ’s crankcase from going
into the atmosphere. The Positive
Crankcase Ventilation valve routes
them from the crankcase back to
the intake manifold. They are then
drawn into the engine and burned.
Evaporative Emissions
Control System
As gasoline evaporates in the fuel
tank, an evaporative emission
control canister filled with
charcoal adsorbs the vapor. It is
stored in this canister while the engine is off. After the engine is
started and warmed up, the vapor
is drawn into the engine and
burned during driving.
Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery
The Onboard Refueling Vapor
Recovery (ORVR) system captures
the fuel vapors during refueling.
The vapors are adsorbed in a
canister filled with activated
carbon. While driving, the fuel
vapors are drawn into the engine
and burned off.
Exhaust Emissions Controls
The exhaust emission controls
include four systems: Fuel
Injection, Ignition Timing Control,
Exhaust Gas Recirculation, and
Three-Way Catalytic Converter.
These four systems work together
to control the engine
’s combustion and minimize the amount of HC,
CO, and NOx that comes out the
tailpipe. The exhaust emission
control systems are separate from
the crankcase and evaporative
emission control systems.
Fuel Injection System
The Fuel Injection System uses
sequential multiport fuel injection.
It has three subsystems: Air
Intake, Engine Control, and Fuel
Control. The Engine Control
Module (
ECM) uses various
sensors to determine how much
air is going into the engine. It then
controls how much fuel to inject
under all operating conditions.
Ignition Timing Control System
This system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of HC, CO and NOx produced.

250Owner Assistance
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
System
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation
(
EGR) system takes some of the
exhaust gas and routes it back into
the intake manifold. Adding
exhaust gas to the air/fuel mixture
reduces the amount of NOx
produced when the fuel is burned.
Three-Way Catalytic Converter
The Three-Way Catalytic
Converter is in the exhaust
system. Through chemical
reactions, it converts HC, CO, and
NOx in the engine’ s exhaust to
carbon dioxide (CO
2), dinitrogen
(N
2), and water vapor. Replacement Parts
The emissions control systems are
designed and certified to work
together in reducing emissions to
levels that comply with the Clean
Air Act. To make sure the
emissions remain low, you should
use only new Honda genuine
replacement parts or their
equivalent for repairs. Using
lower quality parts may increase
the emissions from your vehicle.
The emissions control systems are
covered by warranties separate
from the rest of your vehicle.
Read your warranty manual for
more information.
The tires on your vehicle meet all
U.S. Federal Safety
Requirements. All tires are also
graded for treadwear, traction, and
temperature performance
according to Department of
Transportation (
DOT) standards.
The following explains these
gradings.
Uniform Tire Quality
Grading
Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire
sidewall between the tread
shoulder and the maximum
section width. For example:
Treadwear 200
Traction AA
Temperature A
All passenger car tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to these
grades.
