2. If the MIL stays on, connect the Honda PGM Tester (A) or an OBD II scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC) (B) located under the driver's
side of the dashboard.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Check the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and note it. Then also check the freeze data. Refer to the DTC Troubleshooting Index and begin the
appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
NOTE:
-
Freeze data indicates the engine conditions when the first malfunction, misfire, or fuel trim malfunction was detected.
-
The scan tool and the Honda PGM tester can read the DTC, freeze data, current data, and other Engine Control Module (ECM) / Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) data.
-
For specific operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the scan tool or PGM Tester.
If The MIL Did Not Come On
If the MIL did not come on but there is a driveablity problem, refer to the Symptom Troubleshooting index.
If You Can't Duplicate The DTC
Some of the troubleshooting requires you to reset the ECM/PCM and try to duplicate the DTC. If the problem is intermittent and you can't duplicate the
code, do not continue through the procedure. To do so will only result in confusion and, possibly, a needlessly replaced ECM/PCM.
How To Reset The ECM/PCM
You can reset the ECM/PCM in either of two ways:
-
Use the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester to clear the ECM/PCM memory.
See the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific instructions.
-
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the No.13 CLOCK BACKUP fuse (7.5 A) (A) from the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box (B) for
10 seconds.
NOTE: If the No.13 CLOCK BACK UP (7.5 A) fuse is removed and engine is started, the MIL will come on and the PCM will store DTC P0560
(F23A4 engine).
