IVehicle Speed Signal Circuit Troubleshooting
Special Tools Required:
Test Harness 07LAJ-PT3020A
Before testing, inspect the No. 4 (10A) and No. 10 (7.5A)
fuses in the under-dash fuse/relay box.
1. Disconnect the 3P connector from the vehicle
speed sensor (VSS) {A).
Connect the test harness only to the engine wire
harness.
Connect the RED test harness clip (B) to the positive
probe of an ohmmeter. Cover the white (C) and
green {D) test harness leads with protective tape (E).
Check for continuity between the RED test harness
clip and body ground,
ls there continuity?
YES Go to step 5.
NO Repair open in the BLK wire between the VSS
and G 101.I

5. Connect the WHT test harness cliD (B) to the
positive probe of a voltmeter, and connect the RED
test harness clip (C) to the negative probe.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).

YES-Go to step 7.
NO Repair open in the BLK,/YEL wire between the
VSS and the under-dash fuse/relay box.l
Disconnect the WHT test harness clip (B).
Connect the GRN test harness clip {D) to the
positive probe of a voltmeter.
Is there 5 V or more?
YES- Go to step 9.

Seat Belts
Front Seat Belt Replacement
SRS comDonents are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations (see page 23-13) and the
precautions and procedures (see page 23-14) in the SRS
section before performing repairs or service,
NOTE: Check the front seat belts for damage, and
replace them if necessary. Be careful not to damage
them during removal and installation.
Front Seat Belt
Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio,
then write down the frequencies for the preset
buttons.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and
wait at least 3 minutes before beginning work.
Slide the front seat forward fully.

self-tapping ET screw (P/N 90133-SZ4-0030)
made specifically for this application.. Check that the retractor locking mechanism
functions (see page 23-9).. Assemble the washers, collars, and bushing on
the upper and lower anchor bolts as shown.. lf the seat belt tensioner has been deployed
replace the front seat belt protector with a new
one.. Apply liquid thread lock to the anchor bolts
before reinstallation.. Before installing the anchor bolts, make sure
there are no twists or kinks in the front seat belt.. Make sure the seat belt tensioner connector is
plugged in properly.
. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.. Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter
the customer's radio station presets.
. Reset the clock.. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure {see page

Precautions and Procedures
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully beforeperforming airbag system service. Observe theinstructions described in this manual. or the airbags
could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
. Except when performing electrical inspections.
always turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the
negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The memory is not erased even if the ignition
switch is turned OFF or the battery cables are
disconnected from the battery.. Use replacement pans which are manufactured to the
same standards and quality as the original parts. Do
not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Useonly new pans when making SRS repairs.. Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of being
dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks,
or deformation.
. Before removing any SRS parts (including the
disconnection of connectors), always disconnect the
SRS connector.. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. lf itis not a Honda multimeter, make sure its outout is 10mA (0.01A) or less when switched to the lowest value
in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output
could cause accidental deployment and possible
injury.. Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.. The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit.
Be sure to get the customer's radio code and write
down the frequencies for the radio's preset stations
before disconnecting the battery cable.. Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter
the radio code. then enter the customer's radio
station presets, and set the clock. Do the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).

Steering-related Plecautions
Cable Reel Alignment
. Misalignment of the cable reel could cause an open in
the wiring, making the SRS system and the horns
inoperative. Center the cable reel whenever the
following is performed (see step 6 on page 23-121).
- Installation of the steering wheel- Installation of the cable reel- Installation ofthe steering column- Other steering-related adjustment or installation
. Do not disassemble the cable reel.
. Do not apply grease to the cable reel.
. lf the cable reel shows any signs of damage or
contamination. replace it with a new one. For
example, it does not rotate smoothly.

Initializing the OPDS {Occupant Position Detection System} Unit
Special Tool Required
SCS service connector 07PAz-00'1 01 00
When a seat-back cover, seat-back cushion, and/or OPDS unit is replaced, initialize the OPDS by following theprocedure below.
NOTE: Make sure the front passenger's seat is dry. Set the seat-back in the normal position, and make sure there isnothing on the seat.
'1. l\4ake sure the ignition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the Honda PGM Tester (A) to the DLC (16P) (B), andfollowtheTester's prompts jn the ,,SCS,, menu toground the SCS line (see the Honda PGM Tester Operator's ManuaD.
3. Connect the SCS service connector (C) to the MES 2P connector (D). Do not use a iumoer wire.
c07PAZ-00r0100
4. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).
5. The SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MESconnector within 4 seconds after the SRS indicator went off.
6. The SRS indicator comes on again. Reconnect the SCS service connector to the MES connector within 4 secondsafter the SRS indicator comes on.
7. The SRS indicator goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MES connector withln 4 seconds.8. Watch the sRS indicator.'lftheindicatorblinkstwotimesandthenstayson,theOPDSisinitialized.buttheDTCSneedtobeerased.Goto
