REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
^
Make sure the 12 volt battery in the vehicle is fully charged before proceeding with the update.
^
To prevent control module damage, do not operate anything electrical (audio system, brakes, NC, power windows, moonroof, etc.) during the
update.
^
The HDS screen may go dark during the update process. This does not mean the update is complete. Tap the screen and the display will come on
showing the current condition of the update. Do not disconnect the HDS or turn the ignition switch off until the update is complete unless
directed to do so by the HDS.
1.
Use the HDS to update the IMA motor control software. Refer to service bulletin 01-023, Honda-Produced Vehicles With Programmable Control
Units/Modules.
2.
Disconnect the HDS.
3.
Start the engine.
4.
Raise the engine speed to between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm, and watch the IMA charge indicator on the dash. The charge indicator should register
about three green bars of charging. If so, then hold the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm until the IMA battery charge level gauge shows
that the IMA battery is fully charged.
