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).

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

4. Check for DTCs (see page 11-3). If a DTC is present, diagnose and repair the cause before continuing
with this test.
5. Disconnect the alternator 4P connector.
6. Start the engine, and turn on the headlights to high beam.
7. Measure the voltage between alternator 4P connector terminal No. 2 and the positive terminal
of the battery.
Go to step 11.
Go to step 8.
8. 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/
PCM from damage.
9. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (44P). 10. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector
terminal B41 and body ground.

1. Move the auto-tensioner (A) using the belt tension release tool to relieve tension from the drive belt
(B), then remove the drive belt.
2. Install the new drive belt in the reverse order of removal. Belt tension release tool Snap-on YA9317 or equivalent,

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and make sure the A/C switch is OFF, then turn the ignition switch
to LOCK (0).
2. Check the position of the auto-tensioner indicator’s pointer (A). Start the engine then check the position
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,
replace the auto-tensioner (see page 4-32).
