NOTE:  Do not reuse the drained fluid. Always use Acura DOT 3 Brake Fluid from an unopened container.
Using a non-Acura brake fluid can cause corrosion
and shorten the life of the system.
 Do not mix different brands of brake fluid; they may not be compatible.
 Make sure the brake fluid is not contaminated with dirt or other foreign matter.
 Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint or plastic. If brake fluid does contact the
paint or plastic, wash it off immediately with water.
 If may be necessary to limit the movement of the release fork with a block of wood to remove all the air
from the system.
 Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the clutch reservoir (A) is at the MAX (upper) l evel line (B).2. Attach the one end of a clear tube to the bleeder
screw (A), and put the other end into a container.
Loosen the bleeder screw to allow air to escape
from the system.
3. Make sure there is an adequate supply of fluid in the reservoir, then slowly push the clutch pedal all
the way down. Before releasing the pedal, have an
assistant temporarily tighten the bleeder screw.
Loosen the bleeder screw, and push the pedal
down again. Repeat this step until no more bubbles
appear at the clear tube.
NOTE: Make sure the fluid level on the reservoir
does not go below MIN.
4. Tighten the bleeder screw securely.
5. Refill the brake fluid in the reservoir to the MAX (upper) l evel line.

17. Install the clutch master cylinder (A) with a newclutch master cylinder seal (B).
18. Install the clutch line to the clamps (A).
19. Install the clutch line bracket (B).
20. Install the cowl cover and the under-cowl panel (see page 20-163). 21. Install the master cylinder mounting nuts (A).
22. Apply multipurpose grease to the clevis pin (B) and
the mating surface of the clevis and the pedal. Slide
the clevis pin into the clevis, then install a lock pin
(C).
23. Do the clutch hydraulic system bleeding (see page 12-7).
24. Adjust the clutch pedal, the clutch pedal position switch, and the clutch interlock switch (see page
12-8).
25. Install the battery base.
26. Install the air cleaner assembly (see page 11-345).
27. Install the driver’s dashboard undercover (see page 20-103).
28. Do the battery installation procedure (see page 22-69).
29. Check the clutch operation, and check for leaks.
30. Test-drive the vehicle.
Replace.

NOTE:
 Do not reuse the drained 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.
 Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
 Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle, it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it
off immediately with water.
 The reservoir connected the master cylinder must be at the MAX (upper) l evel mark at the start of the
bleeding procedure, and checked after bleeding each
wheel location. Add fluid as required.
1. Make sure the brake fluid level in the reservoir (A) is at the MAX (upper) l evel line (B).
2. Have someone slowly pump the brake pedal several times, then apply steady pressure.
3. Start the bleeding at the driver’s side of the front brake system.
NOTE: Bleed the calipers in the sequence shown. 4. Attach a length of clear drain tube (A) to the bleed
screw (B), then loosen the bleed screw to allow air
to escape from the system. Then tighten the bleed
screw securely.
5. Refill the master cylinder reservoir to the MAX (upper) l evel line.
6. Repeat the procedure for each brake circuit until there are no air bubbles in the fluid.

ABS Components
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
 The memory holds all DTCs. However, when the
same DTC is detected more than once, the more
recent DTC is written over the earlier one. Therefore,
when the same problem is detected repeatedly, it is
memorized as a single DTC.
 The DTCs are indicated in the order they occur.
 The DTCs are memorized in the EEPROM. Therefore, the memorized DTCs cannot be erased by
disconnecting the battery. Do the specified
procedures to clear the DTCs.
 Self-diagnosis can be classified into two categories: – Initial diagnosis: Done right after the ignition switch is turned to ON (II) and until the ABS indicator goes
off.
– Regular diagnosis: Done right after the initial diagnosis until the ignition switch is turned to
LOCK (0).
 When the system detects a problem, the ABS modulator-control unit shifts to fail-safe mode.
The pump motor operates when the ABS modulator-
control unit is functioning, and the fluid in the reservoir
is forced out to the master cylinder, causing kickback at
the brake pedal.  The pump motor operates when the ABS modulator- control unit is functioning.
 The ABS modulator-control unit checks the pump motor operation one time after completing initial
diagnosis during regular diagnosis when the vehicle
is driven over 15 km/h (10 mph).
Brake fluid replacement and air bleeding procedures
are identical to the procedures used on vehicles without
ABS (see page 19-9). The troubleshooting procedures assume that the cause
of the problem is still present, and the ABS indicator is
still on. Following a troubleshooting procedure for a
code that has been cleared but does not reset can result
in incorrect diagnosis.
1. Question the client about the conditions when the problem occurred, and try to reproduce the same
conditions for troubleshooting. Find out when the
ABS indicator came on, such as during activation,
after activation, when the vehicle was traveling at a
certainspeed,etc.Ifnecessary,havetheclient
demonstrate the concern.
2. When the ABS indicator does not come on during the test-drive, check for loose connectors, poor
contact of the terminals, etc. in the circuit indicated
by the DTC before you start troubleshooting.
3. After troubleshooting, or the repairs are done, clear the DTCs, and test-drive the vehicle under the same
conditions that originally set the DTCs. Make sure
the ABS indicator does not come on.
4. Check for DTCs from other systems which are connected via F-CAN. If there are DTCs that are
related to F-CAN, one possible cause was that the
ignition switch was turned to ON (II) with the ABS
modulator-control unit connector disconnected.
Clear the DTCs. Check for fuel and emissions DTC’s
first.
NOTE: Always troubleshoot fuel and emissions
DTC’s first.
The term ‘‘intermittent failure’’ means a system may
have had a failure, but it checks OK now. If you cannot
reproduce the condition, check for loose connectors or
terminal pins related to the circuit that you are
troubleshooting.
