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.

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data
and any on-board snapshot, and review the general
troubleshooting information (see page 11-3).
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Remove the fuel fill cap, and wait 1 minute.
5. ChecktheFTPSENSORintheDATALISTwiththe HDS.
Go to step 6.
Go to step 17.
6. Install the fuel fill cap.
7. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
8. Start the engine, and let it idle without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes
on.
9. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P1454 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.
Go to step 10.
If the screen indicates PASSED, intermittent
failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for
poor connections or loose terminals at the FTP
sensor, the EVAP canister vent shut valve, and the
ECM/PCM. Also check for a blockage in the vent
hoses and the drain joint. If the screen indicates
NOT COMPLETED, keep idling until a result comes
on. 10. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
11. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
12. Remove the EVAP canister vent shut valve from the
EVAP canister (see page 11-409).
13. Connect the 2P connector to the EVAP canister vent shut valve.
14. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
15. Select EVAP CVS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
16. Check the EVAP canister vent shut valve (A) operation.
Check for a blockage in the EVAP canister,
the vent hoses, and the drain joint, then install the
EVAP canister vent shut valve, and go to step 23.
Replace the EVAP canister vent shut valve
(see page 11-409), then go to step 23.

 Vacuum/pressure gauge, 0 4 in.Hg 07JAZ-001000B
 Vacuum pump/gauge, 0 30 in.Hg, Snap-on YA4000A
or equivalent, commercially available
Do this procedure if the fuel cap warning message
comes on frequently, or if the message does not go off
after the fuel fill cap is tightened and the vehicle is
driven several days.
1. Check the fuel fill cap (the cap must say TIGHTEN TO CLICK). It should turn 1/4 after it’s tight, then it
clicks.
Go to step 2.
Replace or tighten the cap, then go to step 13.
2. Check the fuel fill cap seal (A) and the fuel fill pipe mating surface (B). Verify that the fuel fill cap tether
cord (C) is not caught under the cap.
Replace the fuel fill cap or the fuel fill pipe,
then go to step 13.
Go to step 3. 3. Reinstall and tighten the fuel fill cap.
4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
5. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at
3,000 rpm without load (in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 1 minute.
6. Test drive at 72 km/h (45 mph) for 1 minute or more.
Go to step 7.
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this
time.
7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) from the EVAP canister purge valve (B) in the engine compartment,
and connect a T-fitting (C) between the vacuum
gauge and the vacuum pump/gauge 0 30 in.Hg,
and the EVAP canister purge valve as shown.

9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
10. Apply about 2 kPa (15 mmHg, 0.6 in.Hg) of vacuum to the hose.
11. Select the EVAP PCS ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Check for a blockage at the EVAP canister
purge line between EVAP canister purge valve and
the EVAP canister, then go to step 12.
Replace the EVAP canister purge valve
(see page 11-409), then go to step 12.
12. Reconnect all hoses.
13. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
14. Reset the ECM with the HDS.
15. Do the ECM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
16. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle for 1 minute.
17. Test drive at 72 km/h (45 mph) for 1 minute or more.
Go to step 1 and recheck.
