Ground Circuits

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1989 Honda Prelude. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity to ground on ECU terminal B16 (also B8 on Prelude). Resistance should be zero ohms. If not, repair open to ground.
  2. Using a DVOM, touch negative lead of voltmeter to a good ground. Touch positive lead of voltmeter to each ground terminal. With vehicle running, voltmeter should indicate less than .1 volt. If voltmeter reading is greater than .1 volt, check for open, corrosion or loose connection on ground lead.
