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

Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor Clutch Relay engine coolant temperature increases.
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.

The CKP sensor detects engine speed and determines ignition Injector Timing and Duration
timing and timing for fuel injection of each cylinder. 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.

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

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 PGM-
FI 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

dioxide (CO2), dinitrogen (N2), and water vapour. 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.

Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System

Refer to the System Diagram to see the functional layout of the
system.
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 70°C (158°F),
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 70°C (158°F).
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.

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.

ECM/PCM Data (cont'd)

Data Description Operating Value Freeze Data
Fuel System Status Fuel system status is indicated as ''open'' or ''closed''. At idle speed: closed 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

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 Long term fuel trim is computed from short term fuel 0.8-1.2 YES

CAUTION
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged
periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is still advisable
to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water as soon as possible after handling used oil.

*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.
