Charging System Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting
ALT L
(WHT/BLU)
ECM/PCM CONNECTOR B (44P)
NOTE: Check for stored DTCs in the PGM-FI before
troubleshooting the charging system indicator.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Go to step 2.
Go to step 14.
2. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 2,000 rpm for 1 minute.
Charging system indicator circuit is OK. Go
to the alternator and regulator circuit
troubleshooting (see page 4-28).
Go to step 3.
3. Do the gauge control module self-diagnostic function procedure (see page 22-241).
Go to step 4.
Replace the gauge control module (tach)
(see page 22-277).
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Disconnect the alternator 4P connector.
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Replace the alternator (see page 4-34), or
repair the alternator (see page 4-38).
Go to step 7. 7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
8. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the
data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
9. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
10. 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).
11. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
NOTE: This step must be done to protect the ECM/
PCMfromdamage.
12. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (44P).
13. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal B42 and body ground.
Repair short to ground in the wire between
alternator 4P connector terminal No. 3 and ECM/
PCM connector terminal B42.
Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the
latest software (see page 11-227), or substitute a
known-good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7), then
recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with
a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/
PCM (see page 11-228).

again with the engine idling. If the position of the
indicator moves or fluctuates very much, replace
the auto-tensioner (see page 4-32).
3. Check for abnormal noise from the tensioner pulley. If you hear abnormal noise, replace the tensioner
pulley(seepage4-33).
4. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
5. Move the auto-tensioner within its limit using the belt tension release tool in the direction shown.
Check that the tensioner moves smoothly and
without any abnormal noise. If the tensioner does
not move smoothly, or you hear abnormal noise,

Cruise Control Input Test
NOTE: Always make sure that you have the latest Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) software before doing the input
tests.
1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. 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).
4. Go to PGM-FI, and check for DTCs (see page 11-3).
5. Do the following tests while monitoring parameters in the PGM-FI DATA LIST with the HDS. NOTE: Intermittent failures are often caused by loose circuit connections. While monitoring cruise control inputs,
flex the circuit wires, and note if any of the test results change.

57. Connect the battery cables (A) to the under-hood fuse/relay box.
58. Install the harness clamp (B). 59. Install the pipe (A).
60. Connect the connector (B), and install the harness
clamps (C).
61. Install the under cowl-panel (see step 4 on page 20-164).
62. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
63. Install the front wheels.
64. Do the battery installation procedure (see page 22-69).
65. Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (do not operate the starter) so the fuel pump
runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel
line. Repeat this operation three times, then check
for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
66. Refill the engine with engine oil (see step 4 on page 8-10).
