II. Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reset Procedure

Either of the following actions will reset the PCM

Use the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester to clear the PCM's memory.

NOTE: See the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.

Turn the ignition switch OFF. Remove the BACK UP RADIO (10 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box for

10 seconds.

III. Final Procedure (this procedure must be done after any troubleshooting)

1. Remove the SCS Service Connector if it is connected.

NOTE: If the SCS service connector is connected and there are no DTCs stored in the PCM, the MIL will stay

on when the ignition switch is turned ON (II).

2. Do the PCM Reset Procedure.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

4. Disconnect the OBD II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester from the Data Link Connector (16P).ProCarManuals.com

Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

NOTE: If this symptom is intermittent, check for a loose fuse No. 1 (BACK UP

LIGHTS, METER LIGHTS, 10 A) in the under-dash fuse/relay box, a poor con-

nection at PCM terminal A7, or an intermittent open in the GRN/RED wire

between the PCM (A7) and the gauge assembly.

Is the low oil pressure light on?

Try to start the engine.

Does the engine start?

Check for an open in the wire or

bulb (MIL line):

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2. Connect the PCM connector ter-

minal A7 to body ground with a

jumper wire.

3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

Is the MIL on?

Substitute a known-good PCM,

and recheck. If symptom/indica-

tion goes away, replace the origi-

nal
PCM.
— Repair short or open in the

wire between NO. 1 (BACK-UP

LIGHTS, METER LIGHTS) (10

A) fuse and gauge assembly.

— Replace No. 1 (BACK-UP

LIGHTS, METER LIGHTS) (10 A)

fuse.

PCM CONNECTOR A (26P)

Check for an open in the wires

(PG1, PG2 lines):

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

2. Measure voltage between

body ground and PCM con-

nector terminals A12 and A25

individually.
Wire side of female terminals

Is there less than 1.0 V?
Repair open in the wire(s)

between PCM and G101 (located

at intake manifold) that had

more than 1.0 V.

Wire side of female terminals

Is there battery voltage?

Is the fuse OK?
Repair short in the wire be-

tween the PCM (C6) and the

No. 9 STARTER SIGNAL (7.5

A) fuse or the PGM-FI main

relay.

Replace the No. 9 STARTER

SIGNAL (7.5 A) fuse.

Repair open in the wire between

the PCM

and the No. 9

STARTER SIGNAL (7.5 A) fuse.
Starter switch signal is OK.
Inspect the No. 9 STARTER SIG-

NAL (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash

fuse/relay box.
Check for an open or short in the

wire (STS line):

Measure voltage between PCM

connector terminals C6 and A26
