SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (If steering maintenance is required)

The Civic Hybrid SRS includes a driver’s airbag in the steering wheel hub, a passenger’s airbag in the dashboardabove the glove box, seat belt tensioners in the front seat belt retractors, seat belt buckle tensioners in the front seatbelt buckles, side curtain airbags in the sides of the roof, and side airbags in the front seat-backs. Informationnecessary to safely service the SRS is included in this Service Manual. Items marked with an asterisk ( ) on thecontents page include or are located near SRS components. Servicing, disassembling, or replacing these itemsrequires special precautions and tools, and should be done only by an authorized Honda dealer.

• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontalor side collision, all SRS service work should be done by an authorized Honda dealer.

• Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal injurycaused by unintentional deployment of the airbags and/or side airbags.

• Do not bump or impact the SRS unit, front impact sensors, or side impact sensors when the ignition switch is ON (II),or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF; otherwise, the system may fail in a collision, or theairbags may deploy.

• SRS electrical connectors are identified by yellow color coding. Related components are located in the steeringcolumn, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, in the dashboard above the glove box, in the front seats,in the roof side, and around the floor. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.

Steering Wheel Rotational PlayCheck

Power Assist Check

1. Turn the front wheels to the straight ahead position.

2. Measure how far you can turn the steering wheelleft and right without moving the front wheels.

• If the play is within the limit, the gearbox andlinkage are OK.

• If the play exceeds the limit, adjust the rack guide(see page 17-14). If the play is still excessive afterrack guide adjustment, inspect the steeringlinkage and gearbox (see page 17-5).

NOTE: This test should be done with original equipmenttires and wheels at the correct tire pressure.

1. Start the engine, and let it idle.

2. Attach a commercially available spring scale to thesteering wheel. With the engine idling and thevehicle on a clean, dry floor, pull the scale asshown, and read it as soon as the tires begin to turn.

3. If the scale reads no more than 34 N (3.5 kgf, 7.7 lbf),the power assist is OK. If it reads more, check theseitems:

• Steering linkage (see page 17-5)• Rack guide adjustment (see page 17-14)• EPS system (see page 17-17)

EPS Indicator Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)

Self-diagnosis

17-17

General Troubleshooting Information

Under normal conditions, the EPS indicator comes onwhen the ignition switch is turned to the ON (II) position,then goes off after the engine is started. This indicatesthat the LED and its circuit are operating correctly.If there is a failure in the system after the engine isstarted, the EPS indicator will stay on, and the powerassist is turned off.

When the EPS indicator comes on, the control unitmemorizes the DTC. In this case, the control unit willnot activate the EPS system after the engine startsagain, but it keeps the EPS indicator on.

When DTC 51-01, 51-02 or 51-06 is stored in the controlunit, the EPS indicator will stay on until the DTC iserased. When a problem is detected and the EPSindicator comes on, there are cases when the indicatorstays on until the ignition switch is turned OFF, andcases when the indicator goes off automatically whenthe system returns to normal. Even though the systemis operating normally, the EPS indicator will come onunder the following conditions:

• The vehicle speed decreases abruptly from 12 mph(20 km/h) or more (by applying brake), and it is lessthan 1 mph (1 km/h) and engine speed is 2,000 rpm orabove for 5 seconds (continuously) after the abruptdeceleration.

• While turning the steering wheel with the vehiclespeed of 1 mph (1 km/h) or less for 20 seconds, andthe engine speed is 2,000 rpm or above for at least10 seconds.

• When the engine speed is 500 rpm or less, and thevehicle is traveling at a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h) ormore for about 3 seconds.

To determine the actual cause of the problem, questionthe customer about the conditions during which theproblem occurred, taking the above conditions intoconsideration.

• If the CPU cannot be activated, or it fails, the EPSindicator comes on, but the DTC is not memorized.

• The memory can hold any number of DTCs. However,when the same DTC is detected more than once, themost recent DTC is written over the prior DTC,therefore only one occurrance is memorized.

• The lowest DTC is indicated first. The DTCs areindicated in ascending order, not in the order thatthey occurred.

• The DTCs are memorized in the EEPROM (non-volatile memory) therefore the memorized DTCscannot be erased by disconnecting the battery.Perform the specified procedures to clear the DTCs.

Self-diagnosis can be classified into three categories:

• Initial diagnosis: Done right after the engine startsand until the EPS indicator goes off.

• Regular diagnosis: Done right after the initialdiagnosis until the ignition switch is turned OFF.

• Steering diagnosis: Done during regular diagnosiswhile turning the steering wheel.

The EPS control unit performs the following functionswhen a problem is detected by self-diagnosis:

1. Turns on the EPS indicator.

2. Memorizes the DTC.

3. Stops power assist and manual steering operationresumes.

NOTE: For DTCs 11-01, 11-02, 12-01, 21-01, 21-02,22-01 and 35-04 the EPS indicator will go offautomatically, and the system returns to normal.

Torque Sensor Neutral Position

How to Troubleshoot DTCs

EPS Components

General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)

Repeated extreme steering force, such as turning thesteering wheel continuously back-and-forth with thevehicle stopped, causes an increase of powerconsumption in the EPS motor. The increase of electriccurrent causes the motor to heat up. Because this heatadversely affects the system, the control unit monitorsthe electric current of the motor.

When the control unit detects heat build-up in the motor,it reduces the electric current to the motor gradually toprotect the system, and it restricts the power assistoperation. The EPS indicator does not come on duringthis function.

When steering torque is not applied to the steeringwheel, or when the ignition is turned off and the motorcools, the control unit will restore the power assistgradually until it’s fully restored (after about 8 minutes).

The EPS control unit stores the torque sensor neutralposition in the EEPROM. The torque sensor neutralposition must be memorized whenever the gearbox, themotor, or the EPS control unit is replaced.

NOTE: The torque sensor neutral position is noteffected when erasing the DTCs.

The troubleshooting procedures assume that the causeof the problem is still present and the EPS indicator isstill on. Following the procedure when the EPSindicator does not come on can result in incorrectdiagnosis.

1. Question the customer about the conditions whenthe problem occurred, and try to reproduce thesame conditions for troubleshooting. Find outwhen the EPS indicator came on, such as duringEPS control, after EPS control, when the vehiclewas at a certain speed, etc.

2. When the EPS indicator does not come on duringthe test-drive, but troubleshooting is done based onthe DTC, check for loose connectors, poor terminalcontact, etc., in the affected circuit before you starttroubleshooting.

3. After troubleshooting, clear the DTC and test-drivethe vehicle. Be sure the EPS indicator does notcome on.
