ECM ldle Learn Procedure
The idle learn procedure must be done so the ECM can
learn the engine idle characteristics.
Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of
these actions:. Disconnect the battery.
Replace the ECM or disconnect its connector.
Reset the ECM.
NOTE: Erasing DTCS with the Honda PGM Tester
does not require you to do the idle learn procedure.
Remove the No.6 ECU {ECM) ( 15A) fuse from the
under-hood fuse/relay box.
Remove the No.19 baftery (80A) fuse from the under-
hood fuse/relay box.
Remove PGM-FI main relay 1.
Remove any of the wires from the under-hood fuse/
retay Dox.
Disconnect any of the connectors from the under
hood fuse/relay box.
Disconnect the connector between the engine
compartment wire harness and ECM wire harness.
Disconnect the G2 terminal from the transmission
ho u srng.
Disconnectthe G'l terminal from the body.
Disconnectthe G101 terminal from the cylinder head
cover.
Procedure:
To complete the idle learn procedure, do this:
1. Make sure all electrical items (Ay'C, audio, rear
defogger, l:ghts, etc.,) are off.
2. Start the engine, and hold it at 3,000 rpm with no
load {in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or
until the engine coolanttemperature reaches 194"F(90'c).
3. Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the
throttle fully closed.
NOTE: lf the radiator fan comes on, do not include its
running time in the 5 minutes.

Intake Air System
Throttle Body Test
NOTE:. Do not adjust the throttle stop screw. lt is preset at the
factory.. lf the malfunction indicator lamp (MlL) has been
reported on, check for diagnostic trouble codes(DLCS) (see page 11 3).
1. With the engine off, check the throttle cable
movement. The cable should move without binding
or sticking.
. lf lhe cable moves OK, goto step 2.. lf the cable binds or sticks, check it and its routing.. lf the cable isfaulty, reroute itor replace itand
adjust it (see page 11-163), then go to step 2.
2. l\4ove the throttle lever by hand to see if the throftle
valve and/or shaft are too loose or too tight.
. lf there is excessive play in the throttle valve
shaft, or any binding in the throttle valve at the
fully closed position, replace the throttle body.. lf thethrottlevalve and shaft are OK, goto step3.
3. Connect the scan toolto the DLC.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check the throttle position with the scan tool. The
reading should be about 10% when the throttle is
fully closed and about 90% when the throttle is fully
openeo.
. lf the throttle position is correct, the throttle body
is OK.. lf thethrottle position is notcorrect, replace the
throttle body.

DTC P0420: Catalytic System Efficiency
Below Threshold
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at
the same time as DTC P0420, troubleshoot those DTCS
first, then recheck for DTC P0420.
P0137, P0138: Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor(secondary HO2S) (Sensor 2)
P0141: Secondary HO2S (Sensor 2) heater
1. Reset the ECM {see page 1'l-4}, then continue to
step 2 through 5 to reset the readiness code.
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on.
Drive for about l0 minutes without stopping. Your
speeo can vary.
With the transmission in 4th gear, drive at a steady
speed between 50 62 mph (80-'100 km/h) for
30 seconds.
Repeat step 4 three times. Between each repetition,
close the throttle completely for 1 2 seconds. lf
the engine is stopped during this part of the
procedure, repeat steps 3, 4 and 5.
Check for a Temporary DTC with the scan tool.
Does the scan tool indicate Temporaty DTC
P0420?
YES Check the TWC. lf necessary, replace the
TWC.I
NO Check for readiness code completion. lfthe
readiness is complete, it was a interminent failure,
and the system is OK at this time. lf the readiness
code is incomplete, repeat steps 2 through 5.1

DTC P1505: PCV Air Leakage
1. Reset the ECM (see page 11-4).
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on
3. Let the engine idle tor al least 40 seconds with the
throttle fully closed.
4. Check for a DTC P1505 with the scan tool
ls DTC P1505 indicated?
YES-Check these parts for vacuum leaks l
. PCV valve. PCV hose. EVAP canister purge valve
. Throttle body. Brake booster hose
NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this
