1. Follow the chart and pour coolant into the radiator up to the base of the filler neck.

NOTE:
* Always use Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 or Honda Extreme Cold Weather Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2. Using a non-Honda coolant can result in corrosion, causing the cooling system to malfunction or fail.
* Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a mixture of 50 % antifreeze and 50 % water. Honda Extreme Cold Weather Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2 is a 100% concentration coolant. Do not add water to either coolant.
* If the vehicle is regularly used in very low temperatures (under -22 °F (-30 °C)) a 60% concentration of coolant should be used.








*: When you want to winterize the coolant with the minimum amount of coolant change but the current coolant concentration in the vehicle is unknown, you must drain all coolant from the cooling system.

61. Warm Up The Engine

Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load in P or N until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

62. Idle Speed - Inspection

1. Check the idle speed under no load conditions: headlights, blower fan, radiator fan, audio system, and air conditioner off.

Idle speed should be:

760±50 rpm (in P or N)

2. Let the engine idle for 1 minute with high electric load (A/C switch on, temperature set to max cool, blower fan on High, and headlights on high beam).

Idle speed should be:

760±50 rpm (in P or N)

NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification, do the PCM idle learn procedure. If the idle speed is still not within specification, go to symptom troubleshooting.

63. CKP Pattern Clear/CKP Pattern Learn

4. If the ignition timing differs from the specification, check the cam timing. If the cam timing is OK, update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If the system works properly, and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.

5. Disconnect the HDS and the timing light.

65. Maintenance Minder Reset
