IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Service Information
The service and repair information contained in this manual is

intended for use by qualified, professional technicians.
Attempting service or repairs without the proper training, tools
and equipment could cause injury to you or others. It could
also damage the vehicle or create an unsafe condition.
This manual describes the proper methods and procedures for
performing service, maintenance and repairs. Some procedures
require the use of specially designed tools and dedicated
equipment. Any person who intends to use a replacement part,
service procedure or a tool that is not recommended by Honda,
must determine the risks to their personal safety and the safe
operation of the vehicle.
If you need to replace a part, use genuine Honda parts with
the correct part number or an equivalent part. We strongly
recommend that you do not use replacement parts of inferior
quality.
FOR YOUR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY
Proper service and maintenance are essential to the
customer's safety and the reliability of the vehicle. Any error or
oversight while servicing a vehicle can result in faulty
operation, damage to the vehicle, or injury to others.
WARNING
Improper service or repairs can create an unsafe

condition that can cause your customer or others
to be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow the procedures and precautions in this
manual and other service materials carefully.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Because this manual is intended for the professional service
technician, we do not provide warnings about many basic shop
safety practices (e.g., Hot parts - wear gloves). If you have not
received shop safety training or do not feel confident about
your knowledge of safe servicing practices, we recommend that
you do not attempt to perform the procedures described in this
manual.
WARNING
Failure to properly follow instructions and

precautions can cause you to be seriously hurt or
killed.
Follow the procedures and precautions in this
manual carefully.
Make sure you have a clear understanding of all

basic shop safety practices and that you are wearing
appropriate clothing and using safety equipment.
When performing any service task, be especially
careful of the following:
Read all of the instructions before you begin and
make sure you have the tools, the replacement or
repair parts and the skills required to perform the
tasks safely and completely.
Protect your eyes by using proper safety glasses,
goggles or face shields any time you hammer, drill,
grind or work around pressurised air or liquids and
springs or other stored-energy components. If there
is any doubt, put on eye protection.
Use other protective wear when necessary, for
example gloves or safety shoes. Handling hot or
sharp parts can cause severe burns or cuts. Before
you grab something that looks like it can hurt you,
stop and put on gloves.
Protect yourself and others whenever you have the
vehicle up in the air. Any time you lift the vehicle,
either with a hoist or a jack, make sure that it is
always securely supported. Use jack stands.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any
servicing procedures, unless the instruction tells you
to do otherwise. This will help eliminate several
potential hazards:
Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.
Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you
run the engine.
Burns from hot parts or coolant. Let the engine and
exhaust system cool before working in those areas.
Injury from moving parts. If the instruction tells you
to run the engine, be sure your hands, fingers and
clothing are out of the way.
Gasoline vapours and hydrogen gases from batteries
are explosive. To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, be careful when working around gasoline
or batteries.
Use only a non-flammable solvent, not gasoline to
clean parts.
Never drain or store gasoline in an open container.
Keep all cigarettes, sparks and flames away from
the battery and all fuel-related parts.
Some of the most important general service safety precautions

are given below. However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in performing service and
repair procedures. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
Introduction - Introduction
Introduction
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
This model has an SRS which includes a driver's airbag in the steering wheel hub and a passenger's airbag in the dashboard
above the glove box and seat belt tensioners in the front seat belt retractors, seat belt buckle tenioners in the front seat belt
buckles and side airbags in the front seat-backs. Information necessary to safely service the SRS is included in the '01 Civic Shop
Manual, P/N 62S5A00. Items marked with an asterisk (*) on the contents page include, or are located near SRS components.
Servicing, disassembling or replacing these items will require special precautions and tools and should therefore be done by an
authorised Honda dealer.
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal
collision, all SRS service work must be performed by an authorised Honda dealer.
Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal injury caused
by unintentional deployment of the airbags and/or side airbags.
Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may fail in a collision, or airbags may deploy when the ignition switch
is ON (II).
SRS electrical wiring harnesses are identified by yellow colour coding. Related components are located in the steering
column, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, in the dashboard above the glove box, in the front seats and
around the floor. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits

Maintenance - Lubricants and Fluids
*1 Always use genuine Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does not
contain the proper additives.
*2 Always use genuine Honda ATF-Z1 (ATF). Using a non-Honda ATF can affect shift quality.
*3 We recommend Genuine Honda Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the
system.
*4 Always Honda Power Steering Fluid. Using any other type of power steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid can cause
increased wear and poor steering in cold weather.

Crankshaft Main Bearing Replacement
Main Bearing Clearance Inspection

1.
1. To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance,
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
2. Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
3. Place one strip of plastigauge across each main
journal.
NOTE: If the engine is still in the car when you bolt
the main cap down to check the clearance, the
weight of the crankshaft and drive plate will flatten
the plastigauge further than just the torque on the
cap bolt and give you an incorrect reading. For an
accurate reading, support the crank with a jack under
the counterweights, and check only one bearing at a
time.
4. Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the bolts
to 51 Nm (5.2 kgf/m, 38 lbf/ft). Do not rotate the
crankshaft.
5. Remove the cap and bearing half, and measure the
widest part of the plastigauge.
Main Bearing-to-Journal Oil Clearance:
Standard (New):
No. 1, 5:0.018 - 0.036 mm
(0.0007 - 0.0014 in.)
No. 2, 3, 4:0.024 - 0.042 mm
(0.0009 - 0.0017 in.)
1.
2.
6. If the plastigauge measures too wide or too narrow,

(remove the engine if it is still in the car), remove the
crankshaft and remove the upper half of the bearing.
Install a new, complete bearing with the same colour
code and recheck the clearance. Do not file, shim, or
scrape the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
7. If the plastigauge shows the clearance is still
incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
colour listed above or below that one) and check
again. If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by
using the appropriate larger or smaller bearings,
replace the crankshaft and start over.

Letters have been stamped on the end of the block as a code
for the size of each of the five main journal bores.
Use them, and the numbers stamped on the crankshaft (codes
for main journal size), to choose the correct bearings. If the
codes are indecipherable because of an accumulation of dirt
and dust, do not scrub them with a wire brush or scraper.
Clean them only with solvent or detergent.

6. If the plastigauge measures too wide or too narrow,

remove the upper half of the bearing, install a new,
complete bearing with the same colour code and
recheck the clearance. Do not file, shim, or scrape
the bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
7. If the plastigauge shows the clearance is still
incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
colour listed above or below that one) and check
clearance again. If the proper clearance cannot be
obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.

Connecting Rod Bearing Replacement (cont'd)
Rod Bearing Selection

Each rod falls into one of four tolerance ranges (from 0 to
0.024 mm (0.0009 in.), in 0.006 mm (0.0002 in.) increments)
depending on the size of its big end bore.
It is then stamped with a number (1, 2, 3, or 4), indicating the
range.
You may find any combination of 1, 2, 3, or 4 in any engine.
Normal Bore Size: 48.0 mm (1.89 in.)
Inspect the connecting rod for cracks and heat damage.
Connecting Rod Journal Code Locations
Numbers have been stamped on the side of each connecting
rod as a code for the size of the big end. Use them, and the
letters stamped on the crank (codes for rod journal size), to
choose the correct bearings. If the codes are indecipherable
because of an accumulation of dirt and dust, do not scrub them
with a wire brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or
detergent.

Piston Ring Replacement
1.
1. Using a ring expander (A), remove the old piston

rings (B).
2.
2. Clean all ring grooves thoroughly with a squared-off

broken ring or ring groove cleaner with a blade to fit
the piston grooves.
The top ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) wide. The second
ring groove is 1.2 mm (0.05 in.) wide. The oil ring groove is
2.8 mm (0.11 in.) wide (D17A5 engine) 2.0 mm (0.08 in.)
wide (D17A2, D17A8, D17A9 engines).
File down a blade if necessary.
Do not use a wire brush to clean the ring grooves, or cut
the ring grooves deeper with cleaning tools.
NOTE: If the piston is to be separated from the connecting
rod, do not install new rings yet.
1.
3. Using a piston, push a new ring (A) into the cylinder

bore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 in.) from the bottom.
2.
4. Measure the piston ring end-gap (B) with a feeler

gauge:
If the gap is too small, check to see if you have the
proper rings for your engine.
If the gap is too large, recheck the cylinder bore
diameter against the wear limits, refer to the '01 Civic
If the bore is over the service limit, the cylinder block
must be rebored.

System Descriptions
Electronic Control System

The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the Engine Control Module (ECM) on vehicles with manual
transmissions or the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on vehicles with automatic transmissions.
Fail-safe Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-programmed value
for that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
Back-up Function
When an abnormality occurs in the ECM/PCM, the injectors are controlled by a back-up circuit independent of the system to permit
minimal driving.
Self-diagnosis
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor, the ECM/PCM supplies ground for the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
and stores the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in erasable memory. When the ignition is first turned on, the ECM/PCM supplies
ground for the MIL for 2 seconds to check the MIL bulb condition.
Two Driving Cycle Detection Method
To prevent false indications, the ''two driving cycle detection method'' is used for some self-diagnostic functions. When an
abnormality occurs, the ECM/PCM stores it in its memory. When the same abnormality recurs after the ignition switch is turned
OFF and ON (II) again, the ECM/PCM informs the driver by turning on the MIL.
11-7

System Descriptions (cont'd)
ECM/PCM Data
You can retrieve data from the ECM/PCM by connecting the scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
The items listed in the table below conform to SAE recommended practice. The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that
recommended by SAE so that this data may help you find the causes of intermittent problems.
NOTE:
The ''operating values'' listed are approximate and may vary depending on the environment and the individual vehicle.
Unless noted otherwise, ''at idle speed'' means idling with the engine completely warmed up, A/T in Park or neutral,
M/T in neutral position and the A/C and all accessories turned off.
Data
Description
Operating Value
Freeze Data
Diagnostic Trouble Code

(DTC)
If the ECM/PCM detects a problem, it will store it as a

code consisting of one letter and four numbers.
Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code
(P0xxx) or a Honda-defined code (P1xxx) will be
output to the tester.
If no problem is detected,
there is no output.
YES
Engine Speed
The ECM/PCM computes engine speed from the

signals sent from the Crankshaft Position (CKP)
sensor. This data is used for determining the time and
amount of injected fuel.
Nearly the same as

tachometer indication
YES
Vehicle Speed
The ECM/PCM converts pulse signals from Vehicle

Speed Sensor (VSS).

Sensor (Primary HO2S)
(Sensor 1), Secondary
Heated Oxygen Sensor
(Secondary HO2S)
(Sensor 2)
The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into

voltage and signals the ECM/PCM. The sensor is a
thermistor whose internal resistance changes with
coolant temperature. The ECM/PCM uses the voltage
signals from the ECT sensor to determine the amount
of injected fuel.
With cold engine: Same as

ambient temperature and
IAT
YES
With engine warmed up:

about 80-100C (176212F), 0.5-0.8 V
The HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust 0.0-1.25 V

gas and sends voltage signals to the ECM/PCM.
At idle speed: about 0.1Based on these signals, the ECM/PCM controls the air 0.9 V
fuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high (that is,
when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio),
the voltage signal is lower. When the oxygen content is
low (that is, when the radio is richer than the
stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal is higher.

Operating Value
Fuel system status is indicated as ''open'' or ''closed''. At idle speed: closed
Freeze Data
YES
Closed: Based on the HO2S output, the ECM/PCM

determines the air/fuel ratio and controls the amount
of injected fuel.
Open: ignoring HO2S output, the ECM/PCM refers to
signals from the Throttle Position (TP), Manifold
Absolute Pressure (MAP), Intake Air Temperature
(IAT), Barometric Pressure (BARO) and Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensors to control the
amount of injected fuel.
Short Term Fuel Trim
0.6-1.5
YES
0.8-1.2
Long term fuel trim is computed from short term fuel
trim and indicates changes occurring in the fuel supply
system over a long period.
YES
The air/fuel ratio correction coefficient for correcting

the amount of injected fuel when the Fuel System
Status is ''closed". When the ratio is leaner than the
stoichiometric ratio, the ECM/PCM increases short
term fuel trim gradually, and the amount of injected
fuel increases. The air/fuel ratio gradually gets richer,
causing a lower oxygen content in the exhaust gas.
Consequently, the short term fuel trim is lowered, and
the ECM/PCM reduces the amount of injected fuel.
This cycle keeps the air/fuel ratio close to the
stoichiometric ratio when in closed loop status.
Long Term Fuel Trim
If long term fuel trim is higher than 1.00, the amount of

injected fuel must be increased. If it is lower than 1.00,
the amount of injected fuel must be reduced.
Intake Air Temperature
(IAT)
The IAT sensor converts intake air temperature into

voltage and signals the ECM/PCM. When intake air
temperature is low, the internal resistance of the
sensor increases and the voltage signal is higher.

PGM-FI System
The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system is a

sequential multiport fuel injection system.
The ECT sensor is a temperature dependent resistor

(thermistor). The resistor of the thermistor decreases as the
engine coolant temperature increases.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor Clutch Relay

When the ECM/PCM receives a demand for cooling from the
A/C system, it delays the compressor from being energised,
and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A/C
mode.
Alternator Control
The alternator signals the Engine Control Module
(ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (PCM) during charging.
Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor
The BARO sensor is inside the ECM/PCM. It converts
atmospheric pressure into a voltage signal that modifies the
basic duration of the fuel injection discharge.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor detects engine speed and determines ignition
timing and timing for fuel injection of each cylinder.

1. THERMISTOR
Ignition Timing Control

The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic ignition timing at
various engine speeds and manifold absolute pressure. It also
adjusts the timing according to engine coolant temperature.
Injector Timing and Duration
The ECM/PCM contains the memory for basic discharge
duration at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The
basic discharge duration, after being read out from the
memory, is further modified by signals sent from various
sensors to obtain the final discharge duration.
By monitoring long term fuel trim, the ECM/PCM detects long
term malfunctions in the fuel system and will set a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC).
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The IAT sensor is a temperature dependent resistor
(thermistor). The resistance of the thermistor decreases as the
intake air temperature increases.

Knock Sensor
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S)
The knock control system adjusts the ignition timing to

minimise knock.
The primary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust

gas and sends signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the
duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilise its output, the
sensor has an internal heater. The primary HO2S is installed in
the exhaust manifold. By controlling the air fuel ratio with
primary HO2S and secondary HO2S, the deterioration of the
primary HO2S can be evaluated by its feedback period. When
the feedback period exceeds a certain value during stable
driving conditions, the sensor is considered deteriorated and
the ECM/PCM sets a DTC.

Throttle Position (TP) Sensor
Idle Control System
The TP sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle

valve shaft. As the throttle position changes, the sensor varies
the signal voltage to the ECM/PCM. The TP sensor is not
replaceable apart from the throttle body.
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the

transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is pressed, the power
steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the
ECM/PCM controls current to the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve to
maintain the correct idle speed. Refer to the System Diagram
to see the functional layout of the system.
Brake Pedal Position Switch
The brake pedal position switch signals the ECM/PCM when
the brake pedal is pressed.
Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve
To maintain the proper idle speed, the IAC valve changes the
amount of air bypassing the throttle body in response to an
electrical signal from the ECM/PCM.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

The VSS is driven by the differential. It generates a pulsed

minute increases/decreases with the speed of the vehicle.
11-19
Fuel Supply System
Intake Air System
Fuel Cut-off Control
Refer to the System Diagram to see the functional layout of the

system.
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the

injectors is cut off to improve fuel economy at speeds over 850
rpm (min-1). Fuel cut-off action also occurs when engine
speed exceeds 6,900 rpm (min-1) regardless of the position of
the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. With
A/T model, when the vehicle is stopped, the PCM cuts the fuel
at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm (min-1).
Throttle Body
The throttle body is a single-barrel down draft type. The side
portion of the IAC valve is heated by engine coolant from the
cylinder head.
Fuel Pump Control

When the ignition is turned on, the ECM/PCM grounds the
PGM-FI main relay which feeds current to the fuel pump for 2
seconds to pressurise the fuel system. With the engine running,
the ECM/PCM grounds the PGM-FI main relay and feeds
current to the fuel pump. When the engine is not running and
the ignition is on, the ECM/PCM cuts ground to the PGM-FI
main relay which cuts current to the fuel pump.
PGM-FI Main Relay 1 and 2
The PGM-FI relay consists of two separate relays. The PGMFI main relay 1 is energised whenever the ignition switch is
ON (II) which supplies battery voltage to the ECM/PCM, power
to the injectors and power for the PGM-FI main relay 2. The
PGM-FI main relay 2 is energised to supply power to the fuel
pump for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned ON (II)
and when the engine is running.

Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)

system.
The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO),

and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas to carbon
dioxide (CO2), dinitrogen (N2), and water vapour.
EGR Valve
The EGR valve is designed to lower peak combustion
temperatures and reduce oxides of nitrogen emissions (NOx)
by recirculating exhaust gas through the intake manifold and
into the combustion chambers.
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System
The PCV valve prevents blow-by gasses from escaping into
the atmosphere by venting them into the intake manifold.

EVAP Canister
The EVAP canister temporarily stores fuel vapour from the fuel
tank until it can be purged back into the engine and burned
(refer to the System Diagram to see the functional layout of the
system).
EVAP Canister Purge Valve
When the engine coolant temperature is below 70C (158F),
the ECM/PCM turns off the EVAP canister purge valve which
cuts vacuum to the EVAP canister.
11-22
Idle Control System Diagram

The idle speed of the engine is controlled by the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve:
After the engine starts, the IAC valve opens for a certain amount of time. The amount of air is increased to raise the
idle speed.
When the engine coolant temperature is low, the IAC valve is opened to obtain the proper fast idle speed. The
amount of bypassed air is thus controlled in relation to engine coolant temperature.
Intake Air System Diagram

This system supplies air for engine needs. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the
system.
11-23
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Diagram

The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by recirculating exhaust gas through the EGR valve and the intake
manifold into the combustion chambers. The ECM/PCM memory includes the ideal EGR valve position for varying operating
conditions.
The EGR valve position sensor detects the amount of EGR valve lift and sends it to the ECM/PCM. The ECM/PCM then compares
it with the ideal lift in its memory (based on signals sent from other sensors). If there is any difference between the two, the
ECM/PCM cuts current to the EGR valve.
11-24
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Diagram

The EVAP controls minimise the amount of fuel vapour escaping to the atmosphere. Vapour from the fuel tank is temporarily stored
in the EVAP canister until it can be purged from the EVAP canister into the engine and burned.
The EVAP canister is purged by drawing fresh air through it and into a port on the intake manifold.
The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP canister purge valve, which is open whenever engine coolant temperature is
above 70C (158F).
When vapour pressure in the fuel tank is higher than the set value of the EVAP two way valve, the valve opens and
regulates the flow of fuel vapour to the EVAP canister.
