FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - Civic Coupe CRX (1987) Honda

Comment vérifier le niveau d'huile moteur ?
Stationnez le véhicule sur une surface plane, moteur arrêté. Retirez la jauge, essuyez-la, réinsérez-la complètement, puis retirez-la à nouveau. Le niveau doit se situer entre les repères inférieur et supérieur. Ajoutez de l'huile si le niveau est trop bas.
Quand dois-je remplacer la courroie de distribution ?
Le manuel ne spécifie pas d'intervalle fixe en kilométrage pour la courroie de distribution. Inspectez-la régulièrement pour détecter l'usure, les fissures ou la contamination par l'huile. Remplacez-la si elle est endommagée. Référez-vous au calendrier d'entretien préventif.
Comment ajuster le jeu aux soupapes ?
Le réglage doit être effectué moteur froid (température de culasse inférieure à 38 °C). Placez le piston n°1 au PMH (point mort haut). Utilisez une jauge d'épaisseur : pour le moteur SOHC, jeu admission 0,17-0,22 mm, échappement 0,22-0,27 mm. Desserrez le contre-écrou, tournez la vis de réglage, puis resserrez le contre-écrou et vérifiez à nouveau.
Quel type d'huile moteur utiliser ?
Utilisez une huile de qualité API SE ou SF. La viscosité dépend de la température ambiante : par exemple, 10W-30 pour une plage de -15 °C à 40 °C. Reportez-vous au tableau de viscosité dans le manuel.
Comment vérifier la pression de compression ?
Moteur chaud, débranchez les bougies d'allumage. Connectez un manomètre de compression. Lancez le moteur (batterie chargée) et lisez la pression. Pour le SOHC : 1 275 kPa (185 psi) min. à 250 tr/min ; pour le DOHC : 1 324 kPa (192 psi). La différence entre cylindres ne doit pas dépasser 196 kPa (28 psi).
Comment purger le circuit de refroidissement ?
Assurez-vous que le moteur est froid. Ouvrez le bouchon du radiateur et le purgeur (situé sur le boîtier de thermostat). Remplissez lentement le radiateur avec le liquide de refroidissement recommandé jusqu'à ce que le liquide s'écoule sans bulles par le purgeur. Refermez le purgeur, puis remplissez le réservoir d'expansion jusqu'au niveau MAX.
Quelle est la procédure de remorquage d'urgence ?
En cas d'urgence, si vous devez remorquer la voiture avec les quatre roues au sol : placez la transmission au point mort, desserrez le frein de stationnement, tournez la clé de contact sur la position I pour déverrouiller le volant. Ne dépassez pas 55 km/h (35 mph) et ne parcourez pas plus de 80 km (50 miles). Utilisez une barre de remorquage, pas de chaînes ou de cordes.
Comment changer la bougie d'allumage ?
Débranchez le fil de bougie. Utilisez une clé à bougie pour dévisser l'ancienne bougie. Vérifiez l'écartement de la nouvelle bougie (1,0-1,1 mm). Vissez-la à la main, puis serrez au couple de 18 N·m (1,8 kg·m, 13 lb·ft). Appliquez un peu de composé anti-grippage sur les filetages.
Où se trouve le numéro de châssis ?
Le numéro de châssis est situé sur le tablier avant, côté conducteur, visible à travers le pare-brise. Il est également estampillé sur la cloison pare-feu côté passager.
Quelle est la capacité du réservoir de lave-glace ?
Le manuel ne précise pas la capacité exacte. Le réservoir de lave-glace se trouve dans le compartiment moteur ; remplissez-le jusqu'au repère MAX avec du liquide lave-glace approprié.

Radiator Cap Testing

WARNING

System is under high pressure when

engine is hot. To avoid danger of releasing scalding coolant, remove cap only when engine is cool.

  1. Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with coolant, them install it on the pressure tester.
  2. Apply pressure of 74–103 kPa (0.75–1.05 kg/cm², 11–15 psi).

Coolant Level Inspection

  1. Check whether the coolant level in the coolant reservoir tank is between "MAX" and "MIN".

UPPER LEVEL MAX LOWER LEVEL MIN

  1. Supply the coolant reservoir tank with coolant to "MAX", if the coolant level is lower than "MIN" or near to "MIX".

NOTE:

  • Use only HONDA RECOMMENDED anti-freeze / coolant.
  • For best corrosion protection, the coolant concentration must be maintained year-round at 50% MINIMUM. Coolant concentrations less than 50% may not provide sufficient protection against corrosion or freezing.
    ● Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will impair cooling efficiency and are not recommended.

CAUTION:

  • Do not mix different brand anti-freeze/coolants.
  • Do not use a additional rust inhibitors or antirust products; they may not be compatible with the recommended coolant.

Air Cleaner Element Inspection/Replacement

Inspection

  1. Remove the air cleaner element.
  2. Check the air cleaner element for fouling.

NOTE: No cleaning is necessary for the air cleaner element, because its filter takes in oil (viscous type).

Replace: every two years

● The air cleaner element should be replaced more frequently on cars normally used under severe driving conditions.

Replacement

  1. Remove the air cleaner cover.

BOLTS AIR CLEANER COVER

  1. Replace the element, install the air cleaner cover and tighten the clip, nut or bolts securely.

Difference between cylinders: 169 kPa (2.0 kg/cm², 28 psi)

NOTE: Use a full charged battery.

  1. If compression pressure is low, it is caused by wear or damage of piston rings or head gasket, and improper seated valves.

Spark Plug Inspection

  1. Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator for:

Worn or deformed electrodes Damaged gasket Cracked insulator Improper gap Oil-fouling Carbon deposits Cracked center electrode insulator

Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by:

  • Lean fuel mixture
    • Advanced ignition timing
  • Loose spark plug
  • Plug heat range too high
  • Insufficient cooling

Fouled plug may be caused by:

  • Rich fuel mixture
  • Retarded ignition timing
    • Oil in combustion chamber
    • Incorrect spark plug gap
  • Plug heat range too low
    • Excessive idling/low speed running
    • Clogged air cleaner element

Install the radiator in the reverse order of removal.
Before installing the radiator, set the radiator lower cushion securely under it.

Refilling and Bleeding

  1. Set the heater temperature lever to maximum heat.
  2. When the radiator is cool, remove the radiator cap and drain plug, and drain the radiator.
  3. Reinstall the radiator drain plug and tighten it securely.
  4. Remove, drain and reinstall the reserve tank. Fill the tank halfway to the MAX mark with water, then up to the MAX mark with coolant.
  5. Mix the recommended anti-freeze with an equal amount of water, in a clean container.

NOTE:

  • Use only HONDA RECOMMENDED anti-freeze / coolant.
  • For best corrosion protection, the coolant concentration must be maintained year-round at 50% MINIMUM. Coolant concentrations less than 50% may not provide sufficient protection against corrosion or freezing.
  • Coolant concentrations greater than 60% will impair cooling efficiency and are not recommended.

CAUTION:

  • Do not mix different brand anti-freeze/coolants.
  • Do not use additional rust inhibitors or anti-rust products; they may not be compatible with the recommended coolant.

  1. With the radiator cap off, start the engine and let it run until warmed up (fan goes on at least twice). If necessary add more coolant mix to bring the level back up to the bottom of the filler neck.
  2. Put the radiator cap on, then run the engine again and check for leaks.

ladiator

- Cap Testing

  1. Remove the radiator cap, wet its seal with coolant, then install it on the pressure tester.
  2. Apply a pressure of 74–103 kPa (0.75–1.05 kg/cm², 11–15 psi).
  3. Check for a drop in pressure.

RADIATOR PRESSURE TESTER PRESSURE CAP

- Radiator Testing

  1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove the pressure cap and fill the radiator with coolant to the top of the filler neck.
  2. Attach the pressure tester to the radiator and apply a pressure of 74–103 kPa (0.75–1.05 kg/cm², 11–15 psi).
  3. Inspect for coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.
  4. Remove the tester and reinstall the pressure cap.

Self-diagnostic Procedure

When the Check Engine warning light has been reported on, turn the ignition on, pull down the passenger's side carpet from under the dashboard and observe the LED on the top of the ECU. The LED indicates a system failure code by blinking frequency. The ECU LED can indicate any number of simultaneous component problems by blinking separate codes, one after another.

LED DISPLAY ECU

Separate Problems:
= See Problem CODE 1 = See Problem CODE 2 = See Problem CODE 3

Simultaneous Problems:
= See Problem CODE 1 and 2 = See Problem CODE 2 and 4 = See Problem CODE 1, 2 and 3

codes other than those listed above are indicated, count the number of blinks again. If the indicator is in fact blinking these odes, substitute a known-good ECU and recheck. If the indication goes away, replace the original ECU. the Check Engine warning light and ECU LED may come on, indicating an system problem, when, in fact, there is a poor or intermittent electrical connection. First, check the electrical connections, clean or repair connections if necessary. the Check Engine warning light is on and LED stays on, replace the ECU.

If the inspection for a particular failure code requires the PGM-FI test harness, remove the right door sill molding, the small cover on the right kick panel, and pull the carpet back to expose the ECU. Unbolt the ECU bracket. Connect the PGM-FI test harness. Then check the system according to the procedure described for the appropriate code(s) listed on the following pages.

CAUTION:

Puncturing the insulation on a wire can cause poor or intermittent electrical connections.
For testing at connectors other than the PGM-FI test harness, bring the tester probe into contact with the terminal from the connector side of wire harness connectors in the engine compartment. For female connectors, just touch lightly with the tester probe and do not insert the probe.

How to Read Flowcharts

flowchart is designed to be used from start to final repair. It's like a map showing you the shortest distance. But beware: if you go off the "map" anywhere but a "stop" symbol, you can easily get lost.

START

(bold type)

Describes the conditions or situation to start a troubleshooting flowchart.

ACTION

Asks you to do something: perform a test, set up a condition, etc.

DECISION

Asks you about the result of an action by giving an "answer" and asking did you get the same answer: Yes or No.

STOP

bold type)

The end of a series of actions and decisions, describes a final repair action and sometimes directs you to an earlier part of the flow to confirm your repair.

OTE:

The term "Intermittent Failure" is used several times in these charts. It simply means a system may have had a failure, but it checks out OK through all your tests. You may need to road test the car to reproduce the failure or if the problem was a loose connection, you may have unknowingly solved it while doing the tests. "Open" and "Short" are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an accidental connection of a wire to ground. In simple electronics, this usually means something won't work at all. In complex electronics (like ECUs), this can sometimes mean something works, but not the way it's supposed to. If the electrical readings are not as specified when using the PGM-FI test harness, check the test harness connections before proceeding.

  2. Adjust the idle speed (page 6-69)
    • Air conditioning signal (page 6-64)
    • Alternator FR signal (page 6-66)
    • Starter switch signal (page 6-68)
    • Hoses and connections
    • EACV and O-rings for mounting conditions.

  3. If the above items are normal, substitute a known-good EACV and readjust the idle speed (page 6-69).

- If the idle speed still cannot be adjusted to specification (and LED does not blink CODE 14) after EACV replacement, substitute a known-good ECU and recheck. If symptom goes away, replace the original ECU.

Test

  1. Remove the fuel filler cap.
  2. Remove the vapor line from the canister or frame, and connect to a T-fitting from the vacuum gauge and the vacuum pump as shown.

VACUUM/PRESSURE GAUGE VACUUM PUMP/GAUGE

  1. Slowly draw a vacuum while watching the gauge. Vacuum should stabilize at 15 to 30 mmHg (0.6 to 1.2 in. Hg).

  2. If vacuum stabilizes momentarily (Two-way Valve opens) between 15 and 30mmHg (0.6 and 1.2 in. Hg), go on Step 4.

  3. If vacuum stabilizes (valve opens) below 15 mmHg or above 30 mmHg (1.2 in.Hg), install new valve and retest.

  4. Move vacuum pump hose from vacuum to pressure fitting, and move vacuum gauge hose from vacuum to pressure side as shown.

  1. Slowly pressurize the vapor line while watching the gauge.

Pressure should stabilize at 10 to 25 mmHg (0.4 to 1.0 in.Hg).

  • If pressure momentarily stabilizes (Valve opens) at 10 to 25mmHg (0.4 to 1.0 in. Hg), the valve is OK.
  • If pressure stabilizes below 10 mmHg (0.4 in. Hg) or above 25 mmHg (1.0 in. Hg), install a new valve and re-test.

Maintenance

Pump Belt Adjustment

A properly adjustment belt should deflect about 9—12 mm (0.35—0.47 in) when you push on it mid-way between the pulleys with a force of about 98 N (10 kg; 22 lbs).

NOTE: On a brand new belt, the deflection should be 7—10 mm (0.28—0.39 in.) when first measured.

  1. Loosen the pump special bolt and flange bolt.
  2. Pry pump away from the engine to get the proper tension, then retighten the special bolt and flange bolt.

  1. Disconnect the return hose from the gearbox at the reservoir, and put the end in a suitable container.
  2. Start the engine, let it run at idle, and turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times. When fluid stops running out of the hose, shut off the engine. Discard the fluid.

Plug the reservoir RETURN HOSE

  1. Re-fit the return hose on the reservoir.
  2. Fill the reservoir to the upper level mark.
  3. Start the engine and run it at fast idle, then turn the steering from lock-to-lock several times to bleed air from the system.
  4. Recheck the fluid level and add some if necessary.

CAUTION: Do not fill the reservoir beyond the upper level mark.

Pump Pressure Check

Check the fluid pressure as follows to determine whether the trouble is in the pump or gearbox.

NOTE: First check the power steering fluid level and pump belt tension.

  1. Disconnect the outlet hose from the pump outlet fitting, and install the pump joint adaptor on the outlet.
  2. Install the hose joint adaptor to the outlet hose.
  3. Install the power steering pressure gauge between the pump and hose joint adaptors as shown.

On-Car Checks

Pump Pressure Check (cont'd)

  1. Start the engine and let it idle.
  2. Turn the steering wheel from lock-to-lock several times to warm the fluid to operating temperature.
  3. Close the shut-off valve, then, close the pressure control valve gradually until the pressure gauge needle is stable. Read the pressure.
  4. Immediately open the shut-off valve fully.

CAUTION: Do not keep the shut-off valve closed more than 5 seconds or the pump could be damaged by over-heating.

If the pump is in good condition, the gauge should read at least 7845—8826 kPa (80—90 kg/cm², 1138—1280 psi). A low reading means pump output is too low for full assist. Repair or replace the pump.

Workable Time

Adhesive workable time varies widely according to temperature, so choose the correct adhesive kit for the temperature range you will be working in.

After mixing and applying adhesive, you should install the windshield within the time shown on the chart.

For example, when the ambient temperature is 25^ C ( 77^ F), the glass should be installed within 45 minutes using the high temperature type adhesive.

Kit part numbers and contents are listed on the page before.

Honda Civic Coupe CRX (1987) - Workable Time - 1

line | Working time (min) | Ambient Temperature (°F) - Adhesive kit for high temperatures | Ambient Temperature (°F) - Adhesive kit for low temperatures | | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | 30 | 95.0 | 50.0 | | 45 | 77.0 | 41.0 | | 60 | 68.0 | 32.0 | | 90 | 59.0 | 32.0 |

Notes

  • Both kits have two types of adhesive primer: one for the body (metal), and one for glass.
    ● Always use new genuine Honda adhesive, or equivalent.
  • Do not use the adhesive if 6 months have elapsed since date of manufacture.
  • Store adhesive in a cool, dry place.
  • Open only immediately before you are going to use it.

Hardening Time

Hardening time can be shortened by heating with infrared light.

For example, the adhesive will start to harden within 270 minutes mixing at 20°C (63°F). If however, it is heated to 35°C (95°F), it will start to harden within 90 minutes.

DUAL PRESSURE SWITCH

When the refrigerant pressure is below 215 kPa (33 psi) due to refrigerant leakage or above 2350 kPa (340 psi) due to the coolant blockage the dual pressure switch opens the circuit to the A/C control unit and stops the air conditioner to portect the compressor.

EVAPORATOR

As refrigerant circulates, heat is absorbed from the surrounding passenger compartment air. Replacement, page 15-44 Overhaul, page 15-45

SIGHT GLASS Elect the compressor. CONDENSER Dissipates the heat which was RECEIVER AND FILTER/DRYER Serves as a reservoir which filters and removes moisture from the refrigerant.

CAUTION:

  1. Always disconnect the negative cable from the battery whenever replacing air conditioner parts.
  2. Keep moisture and dust out of the system. When disconnecting any lines, plug or cap the fittings immediately; don't remove the caps or plugs until just before the lines are reconnected.
  3. Before connecting any hose or line, apply a few drops of refrigerant oil to the seat of the O-ring or flare nut.
  4. When tightening or loosening a fitting, use a second wrench to support the matching fitting.
  5. When discharging the system, don't let refrigerant escape too fast; it will draw the compressor oil out of the system.
  6. Add refrigerant oil after replacing the following parts:

Condenser 10 cc (1/3 fl oz)

Evaporator 30 cc (1.fl oz)

Line or hose 10 cc (1/3 fl oz)

Receiver 10 cc (1/3 fl oz)

Compressor……On compressor replacement, subtract the volume of oil drained from the removed compressor from 150 cc (5 fl oz) or 120 cc (4 fl oz), and drain the calculated volume of oil from the new compressor.

150 cc (5 fl oz) - Volume of removed compressor = Draining volume

WARNING

When handling refrigerant (R-12):

● Always wear eye protection.

- Do not let refrigerant get on your skin or in your eyes; if it does:

— Do not rub your eyes or-skin.

— Splash large quantities of cool water in your eyes or on your skin.

— Rush to a physician or hospital for immediate treatment. Do not attempt to treat it yourself.

- Keep refrigerant containers (cans of R-12) stored below 40°C (100°F).

- Do not handle or discharge refrigerant in an enclosed area near an open flame; it may ignite and produce a poisonous gas.

Discharge Procedure

WARNING

  • Keep away from open flames. The refrigerant, although nonflammable, will produce a poisonous gas if burned.
    ● Work in a well-ventilated area. Refrigerant evaporates quickly, and can force all the air out of a small enclosed area.

  • Connect the gauges as shown.

  • Disconnect the center hose of the gauge set and place the free end in a shop towel.
  • Slowly open the high side manifold valve slightly to let refrigerant flow from the center hose only. Do not open the valve too wide. Check the shop towel to make sure no oil is being discharged with the refrigerator.
    CAUTION: If refrigerant is allowed to escape too fast, compressor oil will be drawn out of the system.
  • After the high pressure gauge reading has dropped below 1000 kPa (142 psi), open the low side valve to discharge both high and low sides of the system.
  • Note the gauge readings and, as system pressure drops, gradually open both high and low side valves fully until both gauges indicate O kPa (O psi).

ATTACHMENT

NOTE: Set the attachment to the gauge hose at high pressure side first, then install the gauge set as shown. When disconnecting the gauge hose at high pressure side, remove the attachment from the high pressure charging valve.

System Charging

System Evacuation

  1. When an A/C System has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair, it must be evacuated using a vacuum pump. (If the system has been open for several days, the receiver/dryer should be replaced).

  2. Attach a gauge set and pump as shown, connecting the center charging hose to the pump inlet.

  3. Start the pump, then open both gauge valves. Run the pump for about 15 minutes. Close the valves and stop the pump. The low gauge should indicate above 700 mm Hg (27 in-Hg) and remain steady with the valves closed.

NOTE: If low pressure does not reach more than 700 mm Hg (27 in-Hg) in 15 minutes, there is probably a leak in the system. Check for leaks, and repair (see Leak Test below).

  1. If there are no leaks open the valves and continue pumping for at least another 15 minutes, then close both valves, stop the pump and disconnect it from the center charging hose.

HIGH PRESSURE VALVE (OPEN) LOW PRESSURE VALVE (OPEN) ATTACHMENT (COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE)

NOTE: Set the attachment to the gauge hose at high pressure side, then install the gauge set as shown.

; Leak Test

WARNING When handling refrigerant (R-12):

● Always wear eye protection.
- Do not let refrigerant get on your skin or in your eyes. If it does:

— Do not rub your eyes or skin.

  • Splash large quantities of cool water in your eyes or on your skin.
    — Rush to a physician or hospital for immediate treatment. Do not attempt to treat it yourself.

  • Keep refrigerant containers (cans of R-12) stored below 40°C (100°F).

  • Keep away from open flame. Refrigerant, although non-flammable, will produce poisonous gas if burned.
  • Work in well-ventilated area. Refrigerant evaporates quickly, and can force all the air out of a small, enclosed area.

  • Attach a refrigerant supply and gauge set as shown, with all valves closed. Then open the refrigerant supply valve on the can.

  • Loosen the center charging hose fitting at the gauge to purge any air from the hose, until it hisses for a few seconds, then tighten it again.
  • Open high pressure valve to charge the system to about 100 kPa (14 psi), then close the supply valve.
  • Check the system for leaks using a leak detector.
  • If you find leaks that require the system to be opened (to repair or replace hoses, fittings, etc.), release any charge in the system according to the Discharge Procedure on page 15-42.
  • After checking and repairing leaks, the system must be evacuated (see System Evacuation on page 15-56).

LOW PRESSURE VALVE HIGH PRESSURE VALVE REFRIGERANT CAN ATTACHMENT (COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE) NOTE: Set the attachment to the gauge hose at high pressure side first, then install the gauge set as shown.

Charging Procedures

WARNING

Always wear eye protection when chargem.

CAUTION: Do not overcharge the system; the compressor will be damaged.

  1. Connect a gauge set and refrigerant can (right side up) as shown, with the gauge valves closed. Purge air from the charging hose by opening the refrigerant valve, then loosening the center connector at the gauge, letting it hiss for a few seconds, and retighten it.

  2. Open the high gauge valve and charge with approximately 300 g (10.5 oz) of refrigerant.

WARNING

Do not start the engine with high open.

NOTE:

  • Be sure to charge with 300 g (10.5 oz) refrigerant. If low, the vane in the compressor (if new compressor is installed) will not operate.
  • Do not open the low gauge valve.

  • After charging with 300 g (10.5 oz) refrigerant, close the high gauge valve.

  • Start the engine and turn on the A/C switch and heater fan switch and turn the air mix lever to "COLD."
  • Run the engine at 1500—2000 rpm, and check that the low gauge pressure suddenly drops.
  • If the low pressure does not drop:

(a) Raise the engine speed to 2500 rpm and turn the A/C switch ON and OFF.

If the low pressure does not drop, turn the ignition switch OFF and wait for 1–2 minutes, then restart the engine and raise to 2500 rpm and turn the A/C switch ON and OFF.

(b) If the low pressure still does not drop, stop the engine and close the low gauge valve and recharge with additional 100 g (3.5 oz) of refrigerant. Repeat step (a).
(c) If the low pressure does not drop after repeating the procedure in step (a) several times. Stop the engine and re-evacuate and repeat steps 1 thru 6.

  1. Open the low gauge valve and charge refrigerant with the engine running at 2,500 rpm.

WARNING

Do not open the high gauge valve and rigerant can right side-up.

  1. Charge the system with 850–950 g (29-34 oz) of refrigerant until sight glass is free of any bubbles, indicating a full charge.
  2. When fully charged, close the gauge valves, then the valve on the can. Slowly disconnect the refrigerant hose from the center gauge connection to allow excess refrigerant to escape. Quickly remove the gauges from the system to minimize refrigerant loss.

LOW GAUGE HIGH GAUGE ATTACHMENT (COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE)

NOTE: Set the attachment to the gauge hose at high pressure side first, then install the gauge set as shown. When disconnecting the gauge hose at high pressure side, remove the attachment from the high pressure charging valve.

—Performance Test

The performance test will help determine if the air conditioning system is operating within specifications.

  1. Connect the gauges as shown.
  2. Insert a thermometer in the vent outlet. Determine the relative humidity and ambient air temperature by a portable weather station or calling the local weather station.
  3. Test conditions:

● Avoid direct sunlight.
- Open engine hood.
- Open front doors.
- Set the temperature control dial to max and push the vent and fresh air buttons.
● Turn the fan switch to MAX.
● Run the engine at 1,500 RPM.
● No driver or passengers in vehicle.

  1. After running the air conditioning for 10 minutes under the above test conditions, read the delivery temperature from the thermometer in the dash vent and the high and low system pressure from the A/C gauges.

  2. To complete the charts:

● Mark the delivery temperature along the vertical line.
● Mark the intake temperature (ambient air temperature) along the bottom line.
● Draw a line straight up from the air temperature to the humidity.
- Mark a point one line above and one line below the humidity level.(10% above and 10% below the humidity level)
- From each point, draw a horizontal line across to the delivery temperature.
● The delivery temperature should fail between the two lines.
- Complete the low side pressure test and high side pressure test in the same way.
● Any measurements outside the line may indicate the need for further inspection.

Battery

Test

NOTE: To get accurate results, the temperature of the electrolyte must be between 15 and 38°C (59 and 100°F) before testing.

Test Equipment Required:

  • Battery tester with: Voltmeter with 0–18 V scale, Ammeter with 0–100 A and 0–500 A scales, and a carbon pile with 0–300 W.
  • 12 V Battery Charger: Fast charge capability of 50 A and slow charge capability of 5 A.

Test Procedure:

WARNING Keep sparks, flames and cigarettes away while charging battery.

CAUTION: Battery electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution.

  • If it spills on painted surfaces, clothing, or skin, rinse it off with water immediately to minimize the damage.
  • Always wear safety goggles or a face shield when servicing a battery.

  • Check for damage: If the case is cracked or the posts are loose, replace the battery.

  • Check the battery electrolyte level: Check the electrolyte level in each cell. If it's low, add distilled water until the electrolyte rises to the UPPER mark.

UPPER LEVEL LOWER LEVEL

  1. Test battery load capacity by connecting a battery tester, and applying a load of 3 times the battery ampere hour rating. When the load has been applied for exactly 15 seconds, the battery voltage reading should stay above 9.6 V.

  2. If the reading stays above 9.6 V, the battery is OK; clean its terminals and case, and reinstall it.

  3. If the reading is between 6.5 and 9.6 V, fast charge the battery by connecting a battery charger, for 3 minutes at an initial rate of 40 amps.

CAUTION: Amperage will drop as voltage increases; do not increase the amperage to compensate or you may damage the battery.

Watch the battery voltage during the entire 3 minutes; the highest reading should stay below 15.5 V.

  • If the reading stays below 15.5 V, the battery is OK: clean its terminals and case, and reinstall it.
  • If the reading exceeds 15.5 V any time during the 3 minutes of fast charge, the battery is no good; replace it.

- If the reading drops below 6.5 V, slow charge the battery by connecting a battery and charge, at 5 amps for no more than 24 hours, (or until the indicator shows full charge, or the specific gravity of the electrolyte is at least 1.250). Then test load capacity again.

  • If the voltage stays above 9.6 V, the battery is OK; clean its terminals and case, and reinstall it.
  • If the voltage still drops below 6.5 V, the battery is no good; replace it.

Starter Test

NOTE: The air temperature must be between 15 and 38°C (59 and 100°F) before testing.

Use a starter system tester.

Connect and operate the equipment in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

Test and troubleshoot as described.

Alternate Procedure:

• Use the following equipment:

  • Ammeter, 0\~400 A
  • Voltmeter, 0–20 V (accurate within 0.1 volt)
  • Tachometer, 0–1200 rpm

- Hook up voltmeter and ammeter as shown.

  • If the starter still does not crank the engine, remove the starter and diagnose its internal problems.
  • If the starter cranks the engine, check for an open in the BLK/WHT wire circuit between the starter and ignition switch, and connectors. Check the ignition switch.

3. Check for wear or damage:

The starter should crank the engine smoothly and steadily.

If the starter engages, but cranks the engine erratically, remove the starter motor. Inspect the starter, drive gear, and flywheel ring gear for damage.

Check the drive gear overrunning clutch for binding or slipping when the armature is rotated with the drive gear held. Replace the gears if damaged.

4. Check cranking voltage and current draw,

Voltage should be no less than specified below:

1.2kw and 1.4kw: 8 volts

Current should be no greater than specified below:

1.2 kw: 280 amperes

1.4 kw: 350 amperes

If voltage is too low, or current draw too high, check for:

● Battery fully charged.
- Open circuit in starter armature commutator segments.
- Starter armature dragging.
- Shorted armature winding.
- Excessive drag in engine.

5. Check cranking min ^-1 (rpm):

Engine speed during cranking should be above 100 min ^-1 (rpm).

  • Loose battery or starter terminals.
  • Excessively worn starter brushes.
  • Open circuit in commutator segments.
    ● Dirty or damaged helical spline or drive gear.
    ● Defective drive gear overrunning clutch.

6. Check the starter disengagement:

Turn the ignition switch to "Start" and release to "Run." The starter drive gear should disengage from the flywheel ring gear.

If the drive gear hangs up on the flywheel ring gear, check:

  • Solenoid plunger and switch for malfunction.
  • Drive gear assembly for dirty or damaged over-running clutch.

Charge Warning Light Test

NOTE: Before testing, check the wire harness connection and alternator belt tension.

  1. Turn the ignition switch on. The charge warning light should come on.

If it does not come on, unplug the alternator connector and short the pin of the L (WHT/BLU) terminal to ground.

L (WHT/BLU) View from terminal side

- If the warning light still does not come on, check for:

  • Blown No. 14 (10 A) fuse in the dash fuse box.
  • Bad bulb.
    — An open in the WHT/BLU wire between the warning light and voltage regulator.
    — An open in the BLK/YEL wire between the warning light and the dash fuse box, or the dash fuse box and the ignition switch.

- If the light comes on, check the alternator and regulator (see page 16-58).

  1. Start the engine and let it idle. The charge warning light should go off.

If it stays on this time, check the alternator and regulator (see page 16-58).

Alternator and Regulator Test

  1. First make sure you have a good battery, and that the alternator belt, and connections at the alternator and main fuses are good. Next, check the No.14 (10A) fuse in the dash fuse box. (If blown, the charge warning light will come on even if the system is working properly)
  2. Disconnect the alternator connector from the alternator.

With the ignition switch on, there should be battery voltage between the IG (BLK/YEL) terminal and body ground.

View from terminal side IG (BLK/YEL)

  • If there is no voltage, check for an open in the BLK/YEL wire between the dash fuse box and voltage regulator.
  • If there is battery voltage, go to step 3.

  • If these check OK, connect a voltmeter between the alternator terminal B and body ground, and an ammeter (100 amp capacity or higher) between the alternator terminal B and the white wire as shown. (An inductive pick up can be used instead of disconnecting the white wire.)

To avoid shorting to ground, cover at the terminal with an insulator. TERMINAL B WHITE WIRE

  1. Start the engine, and turn on the headlights, blower motor, rear window defogger, etc.

NOTE: If voltage stays above 13.5 V, apply electrical load more to lower the voltage to less than 13.5 V. If the voltage exceeds 16 V, stop the engine and replace the voltage regulator.

  1. Compare the readings to the chart below. If no output or below specification, go to step 7. If output is within specification, go to step 6.

NOTE: Subtract 5 to 10 amperes from the maximum reading due to engine operation.

  1. Turn off all loads in step 4, then measure the alternator output voltage at 1,500 rpm.

- If the voltage is between 13.9 V and 15.1 V, the alternator and regulator are OK. If the charge warning light is still on, see Charge Warning Light Test.

  1. Perform a full-field test: Insert a short screwdriver into the full field access hole at the back of the alternator. While grounding the screwdrive and check amperage reading.

CAUTION: The voltage will rise quickly when the alternator is full fielded. Do not allow the voltage to exceed 18 volts or damage to the electrical system may result.

Gauge Assembly

Description

Bobbin Type (Cross Coil Type) Gauge:

  • A bobbin type gauge is an electromagnetic instrument in which two intersecting coils are wound around the permanent magnet rotor. By varying the resistance of the unit to vary the current which flows through the coil, the magnetic force which energizes the coil will vary, causing the rotor (pointer) to operate. A sliding resistance is employed in the fuel gauge just as in a bimetal type gauge, and a thermistor is used in the temperature gauge.
  • The rotor of the fuel gauge is immersed in damper oil and its center of gravity lies roughly along the rotating shaft, hence the fuel level is indicated continuously even when the ignition switch is OFF.
  • The coolant temperature gauge is a center point stable small indicating angle type which indicates the temperature of the coolant between about 85°C (185°F) and 100°C (212°F).

Gauge Test

NOTE: Refer to page 16-70 for wiring description of the fuel gauge circuit.

  1. Remove the rear seat (see section 14), then remove the maintenance access cover.
  2. Disconnect the 2-P connector from the fuel gauge sending unit.

MAINTENANCE ACCESS COVER A (YEL/WHT) FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT B (BLK) View from terminal side

  1. Connect the voltmeter positive probe to the A (YEL/WHT) terminal and the negative probe to the B (BLK) terminal, then turn the ignition switch ON. There should be battery voltage.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 4.

- If the voltage is not specified, check for: - Blown No. 1 (10A) fuse in the dash fuse box. - An open in the YEL, YEL/WHT or BLK wire. - Poor ground (G511, G551).

  1. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Attach a jumper wire between the A (YEL/WHT) and B (BLK) terminals.

Turn the ignition switch ON. Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts moving toward "F" mark.

CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the pointer reaches "F" mark on the gauge dial. Failure to turn the ignition switch OFF before the pointer reaches the "F" mark may cause damage to the fuel gauge.

NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross coil) type, hence the fuel level is continuously indicated even when the ignition switch is OFF, and the pointer moves more slowly than that of a bimetal type.

  • If the pointer of the fuel gauge does not swing at all, replace the gauge.
  • Inspect the fuel gauge sending unit if the gauge is OK.

Sending Unit Test/Replacement

WARNING Do not smoke while working on fuel system. Keep open flame away from work area.

  1. Remove the rear seat (see section 14), them remove the maintenance access cover.
  2. Check that the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the 2-P connector from the fuel gauge sending unit.
  3. Remove the fuel gauge sending unit.

CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch OFF before the pointer reaches "H" mark on the gauge dial. Failure to turn the ignition OFF quickly enough may cause damage to the gauge.

- If the pointer of the gauge does not swing at all, check for:

- Blown No. 1 (10 A) fuse in the dash fuse box.

- An open in the YEL or YEL/GRN wire.

Replace the coolant temperature gauge if the fuse and wiring are normal.

- Inspect the gauge sender if the gauge is OK.

Seat Belt Reminder System

Description

NOTE: Refer to page 16-81 for wiring description of the seat belt beeper/timer circuit.

With the ignition switch in "Run" or "Start", Voltage is applied to the beeper/timer of the integrated control unit. When you unbuckle the driver's seat belt, the beeper/timer circuit senses ground at the A1 terminal. With voltage at the "B6" terminal and ground at the "B14" terminal, the seat belt beeper sunds and the timer contacts close and open. This causes the seat belt reminder light to flash on and off. After 5 seconds the alarm stops and the contacts remain open.

Oil Pressure Warning System

Honda Civic Coupe CRX (1987) - Oil Pressure Warning System - 1

Description

NOTE: Refer to page 16-70 for wiring description of the oil pressure warning circuit.

With the engine running and normal oil pressure, the oil pressure switch is open and the oil pressure warning light does not operate. If engine oil pressure falls below 29kpa (0.3 kg/cm², 4.3 psi), the oil pressure switch is closed, current flows through the oil pressure warning light and the oil pressure switch to ground, and the oil pressure light goes on.

Seat Belt Switch Test

  1. Remove the center console and disconnect the 2-P connector from the seat belt switch.
  2. There should be continuity between the A and B terminals when the seat belt is not buckled.

CENTER ANCHOR View from terminal side

Oil Pressure Switch Test

Brake Warning System

Description

NOTE: Refer to page 16-81 for wiring description of the circuit check system.

Description:

The brake warning light goes on if the parking brake is applied, if the brake fluid level is low, and as a circuit test while cranking the engine.

Parking Brake:

With the ignition switch in "Run" or "Start", and the parking brake switch closed, the brake warning light operates to remind the driver that the parking brake is applied.

Brake Fluid Level:

With the ignition switch in "Run" or "Start", and the brake fluid level switch closed, the brake warning light operates to warn the driver of low brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder.

NOTE: Low fluid level indicates brake wear or system leaks; check brake pad wear before adding fluid.

Circuit Check: KQ model only

With the ignition switch in "Start" voltage is applied through the No.2 (10A) fuse in the dash fuse box to the circuit check built into the integrated control unit. The circuit check transistor is on, and current flows through the No.1 (10A) fuse in the dash fuse box, the brake warning light and the circuit transistor to ground. The brake warning light operates. This operation tests the brake warning circuit and the circuit transistor to ground. The brake warning light operates. This operation tests the brake warning circuit and bulb.

Parking Brake Switch Test

  1. Remove the center console and disconnect the connector from the switch.
  2. There should be continuity between the positive terminal and body ground with the brake lever up. There should be no continuity with the brake lever down.

-Brake Fluid Level Switch Test

  1. Remove the reservoir cap. Check that the float moves up and down freely.
    Replace the reservoir cap assembly if the float does not move freely.
  2. Check for continuity between the terminals with the float up and down.
    There should be continuity with the float down and no continuity with the float up.
    Replace the reservoir cap assembly if necessary.

One or both inoperative:

  1. Check for voltage between the BLK/YEL terminal and body ground with the ignition switch ON.

There should be battery voltage.

  • If there is no voltage, check for
  • Blown No.18 (10A) fuse in the dash fuse box.
  • An open in the BLK/YEL wire.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.

  1. Check for continuity between the BLK terminal and body ground.

There should be continuity.

  • If there is no continuity, check for
  • An open in the BLK wire.
  • Poor ground (G301, G401 [G201, G401]).

Left inoperative:

Connect the BLK/YEL terminal to the YEL/RED terminal and the YEL/WHT (or YEL/BLK) terminal to the body ground with jumper wires.

The left mirror should tilt down (or swing left) when the ignition switch is turned ON.

- If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), remove the left door trim panel and check for open in the YEL/WHT (or YEL/BLK) wire between the left door mirror and switch.

If the wire is OK, check the left door mirror.

  • If the mirror neither tilts down nor swings left, repair the YEL/RED wire.
  • If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror switch.

Right inoperative:

Connect the BLK/YEL terminal to the BLU/GRN terminal and the YEL/WHT (or BLU/BLK) terminal to the body ground with jumper wires.

The right mirror should tilt down (or swing left) when the ignition switch is turned ON.

  • If the mirror does not tilt down (or does not swing left), remove the right door trim panel and check for open in the YEL/WHT (or YEL/BLK [BLU/BLK] and BLU/BLK) wire between the right door mirror and the switch. If the wire is OK, check the right door mirror.
  • If the mirror neither tilts down nor swing left, repair the YEL/RED [BLU/GRN] and BLU/GRN wire.
  • If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror switch.

  6. Check for voltage between the WHT/GRN terminal and the BLK terminal with the ignition switch ON. There should be battery voltage when the sunroof is opened.

  7. If there is no voltage, check for:

  8. Faulty sunroof relay.
  9. An open in the GRN/BLK or WHT/GRN wire.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 6.

  1. Check for voltage between the GRN terminal and BLK terminal with the ignition switch ON. There should be battery voltage when the sunroof closed.

  2. If there is no voltage, check for:

  3. Faulty sunroof relay.
  4. An open in the WHT or GRN wire.

- If there is battery voltage, go to step 7.

  1. Connect the WHT/GRN terminal to body ground, and the GRN terminal to the GRN/RED terminal, and the GRN/YEL terminal to the BLK terminal with jumper wires. The sunroof should open when the ignition switch is turned ON.

  2. If the sunroof opens, check the sunroof switch.

  3. If not, remove the headlining and check the motor.

Description

Two heaters are provided in each front seat; one in the seat cushion and one in the seat back. In normal use, temperature is automatically controlled by the thermostat [OFF above 40°C (104°F)] built in each seat cushion heater. In emergency case, the breaker 1 [OFF above 50°C (122°F)] and the breaker 2 [OFF above 70°C (158°F)] cut off the circuit to prevent abnormal temperature rise.
