NOTE: Keep all foreign particles out of the transmission. 1. Park the vehicle on the level ground.
2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on), and turn
the engine off.
3. Remove the drain plug (A), and drain the automatic transmission fluid (ATF).
4. Reinstall the drain plug with a new sealing washer (B).
5. Refill the transmission with ATF into the dipstick hole to bring the fluid level between the upper
mark and the lower mark of the dipstick. Always
use Acura ATF-Z1 automatic transmission fluid
(ATF). Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift
quality.

and the lower mark of the dipstick.
7. Insert the dipstick back into the transmission with the letters ‘‘ATF’’ pointing toward the front of the
vehicle. 8. If the maintenance minder required to replace the
ATF, reset the maintenance minder (see page 3-4),
and this procedure is complete. If the maintenance
minder did not require you to replace the ATF, go
to step 9.
9. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM. If it does not, go
to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see page
11-204).
11. Select BODY ELECTRICAL with the HDS.
12. Select ADJUSTMENT in the GAUGES MENU with the HDS.
13. Select RESET in the MAINTENANCE MINDER MENU with the HDS.
14. Select RESETTING THE ATF with the HDS.
NOTE: If you changed the engine oil at the same
time with the ATF, select RESETTING THE ENGINE
OIL LIFE AND ATF with the HDS instead.
Replace.

Frequent inhalation of brake pad dust, regardless of material composition, could be hazardous to your health. Avoid breathing dust particles.
Never use an air hose or brush to clean brake assemblies. Use an OSHA-approved vacuum cleaner.
Remove, disassemble, inspect, reassemble, and install the caliper, and note these items:
NOTE: Make sure that the caliper pins are installed correctly. Upper caliper pin B and lower caliper pin A are different.
If these caliper pins are installed in the wrong location, it will cause vibration, uneven or rapid brake pad wear, and
possibly uneven tire wear. Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
To prevent dripping brake fluid, cover disc onnected hose joints with rags or shop towels.
Clean all parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dirt and other foreign particles.
Replace parts with new ones as specified in the illustration.
Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter gets in the brake fluid.
Make sure no grease or oil gets on the brake discs or pads.
When reusing brake pads, always reinstall them in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
Do not reuse drained brake fluid. Use only clean Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
Coat the piston, the piston seal groove, and the caliper bore with clean brake fluid.
Use recommended greases in the front caliper set.
After installing the caliper, check the brake hose and line for leaks, interference, and twisting.
Install inner brake pad with
its wear indicator upward.
