ÎThe burning of gasoline in your
vehicle’s engine produces several by-
products. Some of these are carbon
monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen
(NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC).
Gasoline evaporating from the tank
also produces hydrocarbons. Con-
trolling the production of NOx, CO,
and HC is important to the environ-
ment. Under certain conditions of
sunlight and climate, NOx and HC
react to form photochemical ‘‘smog.’’
Carbon monoxide does not
is a poisonous gas. The United States Clean Air Act
sets standards f or automobile
emissions. It also requires that
automobile manufacturers explain to
owners how their emissions controls
workandwhattodotomaintain
them. This section summarizes how
the emissions controls work.
In
Canada, Honda vehicles comply with
the Canadian emission requirements, as
specified in an agreement with
Environment Canada, at the time they
are manuf actured.
Your vehicle has a positive
crankcase ventilation system. This
keeps gasses that build up in the
engine’s crankcase f rom going into
the atmosphere. The positive
crankcase ventilation valve routes
them from the crankcase back to the intake manif old. They are then
drawn into the engine and burned.
As gasoline evaporates in the f uel
tank, an evaporative emissions
control canister f illed with charcoal
adsorbs the vapor. It is stored in this
canister while the engine is of f . Af ter
the engine is started and warmed up,
the vapor is drawn into the engine
and burned during driving.
The onboard ref ueling vapor
recovery (ORVR) system captures
the f uel vapors during ref ueling. The
vapors are adsorbed in a canister
f illed with activated carbon. While
driving, the f uel vapors are drawn
into the engine and burned of f .

The exhaust emissions controls
include four systems: PGM-FI,
ignition timing control, exhaust gas
recirculation, and three way
catalytic converter. These four
systems work together to control
the engine’s combustion and
minimize the amount of HC, CO,
and NOx that come out the tailpipe.
The exhaust emissions control
systems are separate from the
crankcase and evaporative
emissions controlsystems. The emissions control systems are
designed and certif ied to work to-
gether in reducing emissions to
levels that comply with the Clean Air
Act. To make sure the emissions
remain low, you should use only new
Honda replacement parts or their
equivalent f or repairs. Using lower
quality parts may increase the
emissions f rom your vehicle.
The emissions control systems are
covered by warranties separate
from the rest of your vehicle.
Read your warranty manual for
more inf ormation.
The PGM-FI system uses sequential
multiport f uel injection.
It has three subsystems: air intake,
engine control, and fuel control.
The powertrain control module
(PCM) uses various sensors to
determine how much air is going
into the engine. It then controls
how much fuel to inject under
all operating conditions. This system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of HC, CO, and NOx produced.
The exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) system takes some of the
exhaust gas and routes it back
into the intake manifold. Adding
exhaust gas to the air/fuel mixture
reduces the amount of NOx
produced when the fuel is burned.
The three way catalytic converter is
in the exhaust system. Through
chemical reactions, it converts HC,
CO, and NOx in the engine’s exhaust
to carbon dioxide (CO ), nitrogen
(N ), and water vapor.

The three way catalytic converter
contains precious metals that serve
as catalysts, promoting chemical
reactions to convert the exhaust
gasses without af f ecting the metals.
The catalytic converter is ref erred to
as a three-way catalyst, since it acts
on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement
unit must be an original Honda part
or its equivalent.
The three way catalytic converter
must operate at a high temperature
for the chemical reactions to take
place. It can set on fire any
combustible materials that come
near it. Park your vehicle away
from high grass, dry leaves, or
other flammables.The defective three way catalytic
converters contribute to air pollution,
and can impair your engine’s
perf ormance. Follow these
guidelines to protect your vehicle’s
three way catalytic converters. Always use unleaded gasoline.
Even a small amount of leaded
gasoline can contaminate the
catalyst metals, making the three
way catalytic converter inef f ective.
Keep the engine well maintained.
Have your vehicle diagnosed and
repaired if it is misf iring, back-
f iring, stalling, or otherwise not
running properly.

If you take your vehicle for an
emissions test shortly after the
battery has been disconnected or
gone dead, it may not pass the test.
This is because of certain
‘‘readiness codes’’ that must be set
in the on- board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. These codes are
erased when the battery
is disconnected, and set again only
after several days of driving under a
variety of conditions.Without touching the accelerator
pedal, start the engine, and let it
idle f or 20 seconds.
If the testing f acility determines that
the readiness codes are not set, you
will be requested to return at a later
date to complete the test. If you must
get the vehicle retested within the
next two or three days, you can
condition the vehicle f or retesting by
doing the f ollowing.
Make sure the gas tank
is nearly, but not completely,
full (around 3/4).
Make sure the vehicle has been
parked with the engine of f f or 6
hours or more.
Make sure the ambient
temperature is between 40° and
95°F (4° and 35°C). Keep the vehicle in Park. Increase
the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and
hold it there f or about 3 minutes.
Without touching the accelerator
pedal, let the engine idle for
20 seconds.

Select a nearby lightly traveled
major highway where you can
maintain a speed of 50 to 60
mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least
20 minutes. Drive on the
highway in D. Do not use the
cruise control. When traffic
allows, drive for 90 seconds
without moving the accelerator
pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary
slightly; this is okay.) If
you cannot do this for a
continuous 90 seconds because
of traffic conditions, drive for at
least 30 seconds, then repeat it
two more times (for a total of
90 seconds).Then drive in city/suburban
traffic for at least 10 minutes.
When traffic conditions allow,
let the vehicle coast for several
seconds without using the
accelerator pedal or the
brake pedal.
Make sure the vehicle has been
parked with the engine off for
30 minutes.
If the testing f acility determines the
readiness codes are still not set, see
your dealer.
