Lift and Support Points

DYNOMITE -2009-

NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components such as suspension or the fuel tank from the rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall safety stands. When substantial weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change, causing the vehicle to tip forward on the lift.

Vehicle Lift

1. Position the lift blocks (A) under the vehicle’s front support points (B) and rear support points (C).

Floor Jack

1. When lifting the front of the vehicle, set the parking brake. When lifting the rear of the vehicle, put the shift lever in reverse for manual transmission, or in P for automatic transmission.

2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted.

3. Position the floor jack under the front jacking bracket (A) or the rear jacking bracket (B). Center the jacking bracket on the jack lift platform (C), and jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety stands under it.

2. Raise the lift a few inches, and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is firmly supported.

3. Raise the lift to its full height, and inspect the vehicle support points for solid contact with the lift blocks.

Safety Stands

To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points as for a vehicle lift. Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

4. Position the safety stands under the support points, and adjust them so the vehicle is level.

5. Lower the vehicle onto the stands.

Towing

If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another vehicle with a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.

Emergency Towing

There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.

The operator loads the vehicle

Flat-bed Equipment

on the back of a truck.

transporting the vehicle.

To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with front towing hooks (A), front tie down hook slots (B), rear towing hook (C), and rear tie down hook slots (D).

The rear towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down hook slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the truck.

the vehicle is unacceptable.

If the vehicle cannot be transported by a flat-bed, it should be towed with the front wheels off the ground. If the vehicle is damaged, and must be towed with the front wheels on the ground, or with all four wheels on the ground, do this:

Manual Transmission

• Release the parking brake.

• Shift the transmission to neutral.

• Leave the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) so the steering wheel does not lock.

• Make sure all accessories are turned off to minimize current battery draw.

This method of towing

• Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine (automatic transmission), the vehicle must be transported on a flat-bed.

• Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.

Automatic Transmission

• Release the parking brake.

• Start the engine.

• Shift to D, then to N.

• Turn off the engine.

• Leave the ignition switch in ACCESSORY (I) so the steering wheel does not lock.

• Make sure all accessories are turned off to minimize current battery draw.

It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 80 km (50 miles), and keep the speed below 55 km/h (35 mph).

Parts Marking

To deter vehicle theft, certain major components are marked with the vehicle identification number (VIN). Original parts have self-adhesive labels. Replacement body parts have generic self-adhesive labels. These labels should not be removed. The original engine or transmission VIN plates are not transferable to the replacement engine or transmission.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the parts marking labels during body repair. Mask the labels before repairing the part.

B Manual transmission Acura Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF): P/N 08798-9033C

Automatic transmission Acura Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF-Z1): P/N CA66704

CDBrake system (including VSA lines)

Clutch system (manual transmission)

Brake booster clevis pin

Clutch master cylinder clevis pin (manual

transmission) Release fork (manual transmission)

Battery terminals

Fuel fill door

Trunk hinges

Hood hinges and hood latch

LMShift cable ends (manual transmission)

Caliper piston seal and boot, caliper pins and boots

N Air conditioning compressor Compressor Oil: SP-10 (P/N 38897-P13-A01AH) for refrigerant HFC-134a

O Cooling system Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2: P/N CA66688

K20Z2: P/N CA66808 (5W-20)

• K20Z3: P/N CA66807 (5W-30)

•

Look for the API certification seal on the oil container. Make sure it says ‘‘For Gasoline Engines.’’ SAE viscosity: See chart.

Always use Acura MTF. Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting because it does not contain the proper additives.

Always use Acura ATF-Z1. Using a non-Acura ATF can affect shift quality.

Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid: P/N 08798-9008 Always use Honda DOT 3 Brake Fluid. Using a non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and decrease the life of the system.

Maintenance Minder

DYNOMITE -2009-

General Information

Information Display

The maintenance minder is an important feature of the information display. Based on engine and transmission operating conditions, the Acura CSX’s onboard computer (ECM/PCM) calculates the remaining engine oil and the automatic transmission fluid life. The system also displays the remaining engine oil life along with the code(s) for other scheduled maintenance items needing service.

1. The remaining engine oil life (A) is shown as a percentage on the information display. To see the current engine oil life, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then push and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life displays.

2. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 6 % to 15 %, the remaining engine oil life (A) and other scheduled maintenance item(s) needing service are displayed. The maintenance minder indicator (B) also comes on when the engine oil life is 15 % or less. To cancel the display and the indicator, press SEL/ RESET button.

• Complete list of maintenance main items (C) (see page 3-7).

• Complete list of maintenance sub items (D) (see page 3-8).

3. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the remaining engine oil life is 1 % to 5 %, the message ‘‘SERVICE’’ (A) is displayed along with engine oil life and the same maintenance item code(s).

4. When the ignition switch is ON (II), and the

remaining engine oil life is 0 %, the engine oil life indicator (A) blinks. Pressing SEL/RESET button cancels the display, but the maintenance minder indicator stays on.

5. If the indicated maintenance is not done, the engine oil life indicator shows a negative mileage, for example ‘‘ 10,’’ on the display. If the negative mileage is between 0 and 9, the indicator is displayed for only a few seconds when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II). The negative mileage remains displayed after the vehicle is driven more than 10 km after 0 % oil life is reached, and the display cannot be canceled. This means the indicated maintenance item(s) should have been done more than 10 km ago.

Resetting Maintenance Information Display Resetting Individual Maintenance Items

NOTE:

• The vehicle must be stopped to reset the display.

• If a required service is done and the display is not reset, or the maintenance display is reset without doing the service, the system will not show the proper maintenance timing. This can lead to serious mechanical problems because there will be no accurate record of when the required maintenance is needed.

• The engine oil life and the maintenance item(s) can be only reset independently with the HDS.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

2. Push and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life indicator is displayed.

3. Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for about 10 seconds. The engine oil life indicator and the maintenance item code(s) will blink, then release the button.

Ignition Timing Inspection

1. Connect the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-204).

4. Check for DTCs (see page 11-3). If a DTC is present, diagnose and repair the cause before continuing with this test.

5. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm with no load (in N or P (A/T model) or neutral (M/T model)) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

6. Check the idle speed (see page 11-309).

7. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

8. Connect the timing light to the service loop (white tape).

9. Aim the light toward the pointer (A) on the cam chain case. Check the ignition timing under a no load condition (headlights, blower fan, rear window defogger, and air conditioner are turned off).

Cruise Control Input Test

DYNOMITE -2009-

NOTE: Always make sure that you have the latest Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) software before doing the input tests.

1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (see step 2 on page 11-3).

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-204).

4. Go to PGM-FI, and check for DTCs (see page 11-3).

5. Do the following tests while monitoring parameters in the PGM-FI DATA LIST with the HDS.

NOTE: Intermittent failures are often caused by loose circuit connections. While monitoring cruise control inputs, flex the circuit wires, and note if any of the test results change.
