11. Install the trailing arm in the reverse order of
removal, and note these items:
First install all of the components, and lightly tighten the bolts, then raise the suspension to
load it with the vehicle’s weight before fully
tightening to the specified torque values.
Check the brake hose for interference and twisting.
Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surfaces on the brake disc and the inside of the
wheel.
12. Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary (see page 18-5). 1. Raise the rear of the vehicle, and support it with
safety stands in the proper locations (see page
1-11).

3. Remove the self-locking nut (A) and the flange nut (B) while holding the respective joint pin (C) with a
hex wrench (D), then remove the stabilizer link (E).
4. Install the stabilizer link on the stabilizer bar (F) and trailing arm (G) with the joint pins set at the center
of their range of the movement.
NOTE: The stabilizer link has a paint mark (H). Align
the paint mark on the stabilizer link facing rearward.
5. Install the new self-locking nut and the new flange nut, and tighten them to the specified torque values
while holding the respective joint pin with a hex
wrench.

1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), connect the
HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) 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 vehicle and the TPMS control unit. If it doesn’t,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11- 204).
4. Follow the prompts on the HDS to display the DTC(s) on the screen. After determining the DTC,
refer to the DTC troubleshooting.
NOTE: See the HDS Help menu for specific
instructions.
5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0). 1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), 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 vehicle and the TPMS control unit. If it doesn’t,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-204).

All four tire pressure sensor IDs must be memorized to
the TPMS control unit whenever you do any of these
actions: Replace the TPMS control unit.
Replace the tire pressure sensor.
Substitute a known-good wheel with tire pressure sensor.
NOTE: To ensure the control unit memorizes the correct ID, the vehicle with the new sensor must be at least 3 m
(10 ft) away from other vehicles that have tire
pressure sensors.
When doing a tire rotation, memorizing the sensors in not needed.
1. With the ignition switch in LOCK (0), 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 vehicle and the TPMS control unit. If it doesn’t,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11- 204).
4. Select Sensor ID Learning from the mode menu on the HDS. 5. Turn on the TPMS tool by pressing the green select
button. Press the green select button until the
proper light sequence is illuminated as per the tool
user’s manual.
6. Hold the TPMS tool near one wheel, memorize the tire pressure sensor ID by following the screen
prompts on the HDS.
NOTE: If you turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) before memorizing all four sensor IDs, the memorizing
ID is canceled.
See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions.
7. Repeat step 6 for each wheel until all four sensor IDs are memorized. When all four IDs are
memorized, the low tire pressure indicator blinks.
