1. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
2. Turn the water pump pulley counterclockwise, and check that it turns freely and smoothly. If it does not
turn smoothly, replace the water pump (see page
10-6).
NOTE: When you check the water pump, you may
see a small amount of ‘‘weeping’’ from the bleed
holes (A). This is normal.
3. Install the drive belt (see page 4-31). 1. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
2. Drain the engine coolant (see page 10-8).
3. Remove the drive belt auto-tensioner pulley
(see page 4-33).
4. Remove the crankshaft pulley (see page 6-16).
5. Remove the six bolts securing the water pump, then remove the water pump (A).
6. Inspect, and clean the O-ring groove and mating surface of the water passage.
7. Install the water pump with a new O-ring (B).
8. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
9. Install the crankshaft pulley (see page 6-17).
10. Install the drive belt auto-tensioner pulley (see page 4-33).
11. Install the drive belt (see page 4-31).
12. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed the air from the cooling system with the heater
valve open (see step 6 on page 10-8).

1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully removethe radiator cap.
2. Start the engine. Set the heater temperature control dial to maximum heat, then turn the ignition switch
to LOCK (0). Make sure the engine and the radiator
are cool to the touch.
3. Loosen the drain plug (A), and drain the coolant.
4. After the coolant has drained, tighten the radiator drain plug securely.
5. Remove, drain, and reinstall the coolant reservoir.
6. Fill the coolant reservoir to the MAX mark (A) with Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 (P/N
CA66688). 7. Pour Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2
into the radiator up to the base of the filler neck.
NOTE: Always use Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. Using a non-Acura coolant can result in
corrosion, causing the cooling system to
malfunction or fail.
Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a mixture of 50 % antifreeze and 50 % water. Do
not add water.

8. Loosely install the radiator cap.
9. Set the heater temperature control dial tomaximum heat.
10. Start the engine, and let it run until it warms up (the radiator fan comes on at least twice).
11. Turn off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, and add Honda Long Life Coolant/Antifreeze
Type 2, if needed.
12. Install the radiator cap securely, then start the engine again, and check for leaks.
13. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
14. If the maintenance minder required engine coolant replacement, reset the maintenance minder
(see page 3-6), and this procedure is complete. If
the maintenance minder did not require engine
coolant replacement, go to step 15.
15. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
16. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
17. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
18. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain
control module (PCM). If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11- 204).
19. Select GAUGES in the BODY ELECTRICAL menu with the HDS.
20. Select ADJUSTMENT in the GAUGES with the HDS.
21. Select SERVICE REMINDER in the ADJUSTMENT menu with the HDS.
22. Select RESET in the SERVICE REMINDER menu with the HDS.
23. Select MAINTENACE SUB ITEM 5 RESET menu with the HDS.

12. Install the thermostat housing (A) with a new O-ring (B).
13. Clean and dry the water passage mating surfaces.
14. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine
block mating surface of the water passage, and to
the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install
the component within 5 minutes of applying the
liquid gasket.
NOTE: If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be install within 4 minutes.
If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and
residue, then reapply new liquid gasket. 15. Install the water passage (A) with a new O-ring (B).
NOTE: Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with coolant.
Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the water passage.
16. Connect the PCV hose (C).
