Four types of liquid gasket are used on Acuras:
Ultra Flange Sealant, Hondabond HT, Hondabond 4,
and Ultra Flange II Sealant. Here’s some info on each
one. For specific applications, refer to the appropriate
S/M.
Ultra Flange Sealant P/N: 08718-0003
Color: Gray Consistency: Average
Use it on some gaskets to seal critical areas as
specified in the S/Ms. It can also be used for most
gasketless applications except engine oil pans. (To
seal gasketless oil pans, use Ultra Flange II Sealant.)
Don’t use it on parts not specified in the S/Ms
because it can lubricate gaskets or seals and dislodge
them.
Hondabond HT P/N: 08718-0001
Color: Gray Consistency: Average
Same uses as Ultra Flange Sealant.
Hondabond 4 P/N: 08717-0004
Color: Light gray Consistency: Thin
Use it on some gaskets to seal critical areas as
specified in the S/Ms. Never use it on gasketless
surfaces.
Ultra Flange II Sealant P/N: 08718-0009
Color: Gray Consistency: Thick
This is the only sealant recommended for the
gasketless oil pan on the ’98 2.3CL. It’s also the
preferred sealant for most gasketless applications.
New Pan Gasket and
S/M Fix for 2.3CL
The engine oil pan on ’98 2.3CLs has a liquid
gasket instead of a pre-formed gasket like the 2.2CL.
To replace the gasket, use Ultra Flange II Sealant,
P/N 08718-0009. It’s packaged in a 4-ounce
pressurized can that’s very easy to use. All you do is
make sure the block and pan surfaces are clean and
dry, apply a 4-mm-wide bead of the sealant around
the block mating surface, put some in each oil pan
bolt hole, and then install the pan. Ultra Flange II
seals better than a pre-formed gasket, and it holds up
well to vibration and thermal expansion.
To show its usage in the ’98 2.3CL S/M, correct

ABS Diagnosis With
PGM Tester
The PGM Tester can be used to diagnose the
ABS and retrieve ABS DTCs on these vehicles:
• ’97 Integra Type R
• ’98 Integra
• ’97-98 2.5/3.2TL
• ’98 3.5RL
To retrieve ABS DTCs on other models except
the SLX, you need to connect the SCS Service
Connector to the Service Check Connector and
read the flash codes (see section 19 of the
appropriate S/M). On the SLX, insert a jumper
wire between the SCS Service Connector terminals
to read the flash codes (see section 5A4 of the SLX
S/M).
What Are ETM View
and Photo Numbers?
The next time you look at a circuit schematic in
an ETM, you might notice a PHOTO number and
(on most newer ETMs) a VIEW number below
each connector. The PHOTO number refers to a
photo (near the back of the book) that shows the
connector’s location in the vehicle. The VIEW
number refers to an illustration (at the very back of
the ETM, right after the photos) that shows the
connector’s shape, face, wire colors, and cavity
numbers.
Here are two examples of VIEW and PHOTO
numbers:
