5. When you reconnect the connector with the old
retainer, make sure the connection is secure and
the tabs (A) are firmly locked into place; check
visually and also by pulling the connector (B).
When you replace the fuel line with a new one,
make sure you remove the ring pull (C) upwards
after you confirm the connection is secure.
NOTE: Before you remove the ring pull, make sure
the fuel line connection is secure. If the connection
is not secure, the ring pull could break when you try
to remove it. 6. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery, and
turn the ignition switch to ON (II) (but do not
operate the starter motor). The fuel pump will run
for about 2 seconds, and fuel pressure will rise.
Repeat this two or three times, then check that
there is no leakage in the fuel supply system.

NOTE: For the fuel gauge system circuit diagram, refer
to the Gauges Circuit Diagram (see page 22-244). 1. Check the No. 10 METER (7.5 A) fuse in the under- dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Check for body electrical system DTCs. If no DTCs are found, go to step 3.
If DTC B1175 or B1176 is indicated, go to theindicated DTC’s troubleshooting.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
4. Remove the rear seat cushion (see page 20-131).
5. Remove the rear floor upper cross-member (A). 6. Remove the access panel (A) from the floor.
7. Disconnect the fuel tank unit 4P connector (B).
8. Measure the voltage between fuel tank unit 4P
connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3 with the
ignition switch ON (II). There should be battery
voltage.
If the voltage is OK, go to step 9.
If the voltage is not as specified, check for: – a short in the ORN wire to ground.
– anopenintheORNorLTGRNwire.
9. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
10. Remove the fuel tank unit from the fuel tank (see page 11-334).

13. Remove the No. 23 BACK UP (10 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box for at least 10 seconds,
then reinstall it.
14. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
15. Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge indicates F with the float at F.
If the pointer of the fuel gauge does not indicate F, replace the gauge assembly.
If the gauge is OK, the test is complete.
NOTE: The pointer of the fuel gauge returns to the bottom of the gauge dial when the ignition switch
is turned to ACC or to LOCK (0), regardless of the
fuel level.
Remove the No. 23 BACK UP (10 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box for at least 10 seconds
after completing troubleshooting, otherwise it
may take up to 20 minutes for the fuel gauge to
indicate the correct fuel level. 1. Do the gauge self-diagnostic function (see page
22-241).
If the low fuel indicator flashes, go to step 2.
If the low fuel indicator does not flash, replace the gauge control module (tach) (see page
22-277).
2. Check for body electrical system DTCs.
If any DTCs are indicated, do the indicated DTC’stroubleshooting.
If no DTCs are indicated, go to step 3.
3. Do the fuel gauge sending unit test (see page 11-340).

1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/ PCM. If it doesn’t, go to the DLC circuit
troubleshooting (see page 11- 204).
4. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in
neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it
idle.
5. Check the REL TP SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. The reading should be below 2.46 deg. If it
is not, clean the throttle body (see page 11- 344).NOTE: If the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) has been

Do not insert your fingers into the installed throttle
body when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II) or
while the ignition switch is ON (II). If you do, you
will seriously injure your fingers if the throttle valve
is activated.
1. Check for damage to the air cleaner. If the air cleaner element is damaged, replace it (see page
11-346).
2. Remove the throttle body; K20Z2 engine (see page 11-348), K20Z3 engine (see page 11-349).
3. Clean off the carbon from the throttle valve and inside the throttle body with a paper towel soaked
in throttle plate and induction cleaner.
NOTE: Remove the throttle body to clean it.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
To avoid removing the molybdenum coating, do not clean the bearing area of the throttle shaft (A).
Do not spray throttle plate and induction cleaner directly on the throttle body.
Use Honda genuine throttle plate and induction cleaner.
4. Install the throttle body (see page 11- 348).
5. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS (see page 11-4).
6. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.
7. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310). Vacuum pump/gauge, 0 30 in.Hg, Snap-on YA4000A
or equivalent, commercially available
1. Start the engine, then let it idle. NOTE: The engine coolant temperature must be
below 65 °C (149 °F).
2. Remove the engine cover (see step 1 on page 9-3).
3. Remove the vacuum hose (A) from the intake air duct, and connect a vacuum pump/gauge (B) to the
hose.
4. Raise and lower the engine speed, and make sure the vacuum gauge reading changes as the engine
speed changes.
If the vacuum reading does not change, check for
these problems:
Misrouted, leaking, broken, or clogged intake air bypass control system vacuum lines.
A cracked or damaged intake air bypass control thermal valve. Replace the valve if needed
(see page 11-351).
5. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan
comes on, then let it idle.

Do not insert your fingers into the installed throttle body when you turn the ignition switch to ON (II) or while the
ignition switch is ON (II). If you do, there will be serious injury to your fingers if the throttle valve is activated.
NOTE: If you are replacing or cleaning the throttle body, start at step 1. If you are removing the throttle body, start at
step 4. 1. Connect the HDS to the DLC while the engine is stopped.
2. Select the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
3. Do the TP POSITION CHECK in the ETCS TEST.
4. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
5. Remove the intake air duct (A).
6. Disconnect the throttle body connector (B).
7. Disconnect the water bypass hoses (C), and plug them.
8. Disconnect the vacuum hose (D).
9. Remove the throttle body (E).
10. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal with a new gasket (F), then do these: Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see page 10-8).
Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see page 11-310).
