1. Disconnect 4-P connector and measure resistance between terminals, Figs. 9 through 11. Resistance will vary with temperature. Specified resistance is at 70°F.

2. On Prelude and 1990-92 Accord models, proceed as follows:
a. Measure resistance for vacuum solenoid between B and D terminals. Resistance should be 30-50 ohms.
b. Measure resistance for vent solenoid between C and D terminals. Resistance should be 40-60 ohms.
c. Measure resistance for safety solenoid between A and D terminals. Resistance should be 40-60 ohms.
