2. Test in E position
Park the vehicle in a slope (approx. 16'). apply the parking brake, and shift into E 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 approx-
imate vehicle speeds shown in the table.
NOTE: Throttle position sensor voltage represents the throttle opening. To monitor the throttle position sensor volt-
age, use one of the following methods:
A. Connect the Honda PGM Tester, and go to the PGM-FI Data List.

For road testing on '96 - 98 models, remove the drive/s side kick panel to expose the TCM; on '99 - OO models,
remove the passenger's side kick panel to expose the PCM (see page l,[-236),
Set the digital multimeter to check throttle position sensor voltage between terminals:
. '96 - 98 modols: TCM 84 {+} and Aa (-) or A17 (-1.
