14. While holding the drive gear (A), turn the gear
shaft (B) counterclockwise. Check that the drive
gear comes out to the other end. If the drive gear
does not move smoothly, replace the gear cover
assembly.
15. While holding the drive gear, turn the gear shaft
clockwise. The gear shaft should turn freely. If the
gear shaft does not turn freely, replace the gear
cover assembly.
16. If the drive gear is worn or damaged, replace the
overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not
available separately.
Check the condition of the flywheel ring gear (M/T
model), or the torque converter ring gear (A/T
model) to see if the starter drive gear teeth are
damaged.
17. Install the brush into the brush holder, and set the
armature (A) in the brush holder (B).
NOTE: To seat the new brushes, slip a strip of
500
or
600 sandpaper, with the grit side up, between
the commutator and each brush, and smoothly turn
the armature. The contact surface of the brushes
will be sanded to the same contour as the
commutator.
18. While squeezing a spring (C), insert it in the hole on
the brush holder, and push it until it bottoms.
Repeat this for the other three springs (D, E, and F).
19. Install the armature and the brush holder assembly
into the housing.
NOTE: Make sure the armature stays in the holder.

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).
10. If the ignition timing differs from the specification,
check the cam timing. If the cam timing is OK,
update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest
software (see page 11-227), or substitute a known-
good ECM/PCM (see page 11-7), then recheck. If the
system work properly, and the ECM/PCM was
substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM
(see page 11-228).
11. Disconnect the HDS and the timing light.
