Road Test

TEST

NOTE: Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).

1. Apply the parking brake and block the wheels. Start the engine, then shift to the [D] position while depressing the brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal and release it suddenly. The engine should not stall.
2. Test in [P] position Park the vehicle in a slope (approximately 16 degrees), apply the parking brake, and shift into [P] position. Release the brake; the vehicle should not move.
3. Test-drive the vehicle on a flat road in the position shown in the table. Check that the engine speeds meet the approximate vehicle speeds shown in the table.

NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. To monitor the throttle position sensor voltage, use one of the following methods:





A. Connect the Honda PGM Tester, and go to the PGM-FI Data List.
B.
1. For road testing, remove the passenger's side kick panel to expose the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).





2. Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between terminals:
- PCM C27(+) and B20(-) or B22(-).





- [D] position: Engine Speed rpm





- [S] position: Engine Speed rpm





- [L] position: Engine Speed rpm
