Cranking Test
- Connect a voltmeter and ammeter to battery. See Fig 1
. On Integra, remove fuse No. 44 (15-amp) from underhood fuse/relay box. On 3.2TL, remove FUEL PUMP fuse (15-amp) from driver's underdash fuse/relay box. On 3.5RL, disconnect 8-pin and 6-pin connectors from ignition control module. Ignition control module is located on right strut tower. On SLX, disconnect two 3-pin connectors and one 4-pin connector from ignition control module. Ignition control module is located on rear of intake manifold.
- Turn ignition switch to START position. Engine should crank without starting. Check cranking voltage and current draw. Ensure voltage is at least 8 volts. Current draw should be less than 350 amps. Cranking speed should be above 100 RPM.
