## Ignition Timing Inspection

Special Tools Required
DLC pin box ( 07WAJ-0010100)

1. | Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm (min-1) with no load (in Park or Neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

2. | Check the idle speed.

3. | Short the SCS terminal to ground by using the DLC pin box. Connect the DLC pin box (A) to the data link connector (16P) (B), then connect the No. 4 and No. 9 terminals on the DLC pin box with a jumper wire (C), and push the switch.

4. | Short the SCS terminal to ground by using the Honda PGM tester. Connect the Honda PGM tester (A) to the data link connector (16P) (B).

5. | Connect the timing light to the front No. 1 ignition coil harness.

6. | Point the light toward the pointer (A) on the chain case. Check the ignition timing under no load conditions: headlights, blower fan, rear window defogger, and air conditioner are not operating.
Ignition Timing:
M/T: | 8 ° ± 2 ° Bottom Dead Center (BTDC) (RED mark (B)) during idling in neutral
CVT: |
| 8 ° ± 2 ° Bottom Dead Center (BTDC) (RED mark (B)) during idling in [P] or [N]

7. | If the ignition timing differs from the specification, replace the Engine Control Module (ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

8. | Disconnect the special tool or Honda PGM tester.
