ECM Data
By connecting the OBD ll scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P data link connector (DLC), various data can beretrieved from the EcM The items risted in the tabre berow conform to the sAE recommended practice.The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended bv SAE.understanding this data wirl herp to rind the causes of intermiftent fairures or engine probrems.
NOTE:
' The "operatlng values" given below are approximate values and may be different depending on the environment andthe individual car.' Unless noted otherwise, "at idle speed" means idling with the engiFe completely warmed up, transmissron in park orneutral and the A,/C and all accessories turned off.

lf the ECM detects a problem, it will store tt as a cocteconsisting ot one letter and four numbers.Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code{Poxxx) or a Honda-defined code (plxxx) will beoutput to the lester.
lf no problem is detected,
there is no output.

Heated Oxygen
Sensor (HO2S)
{sensor 1)(sensor 2)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor detects the oxygen con-tent in the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals tothe ECM. Based on these signals,lhe ECM controlsthe airlfuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high{that is, when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiomericratio), the voltage signal is lower. When the oxygencontent is low (that is, when the ratio is richer thanthe stoichiomeric ratio), the voltage signal is higher.

PGM-FI System
System Description
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)OUTPUTS
*1: USA*2: 818C1 engine*3: A,/T*4: 818C1, 818C5 engines
PGM-FI Sy3tem
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Fuel lniector Timing and Duration
The ECM contains memories for the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The
basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory. is further modified by signals sent from various sensors
to obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Ai. Control Valve (lAC Valve)
When the engine is cold, the Ay'C compressor is on. the transmission is in gear (Ay'T only)the brake pedal is depressed, the
P/S load is high, or the alternator is charging, the ECM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain correct idle speed.
lgnition Timing Control
. The ECM contains memories for basic ignition timing atvarious engine speeds and manifold pressures, lgnitiontiming
is also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.
. AKnockControl System isadoptedwhich sets the ideal ignition timing for the octane n um ber of gasoline used*r,
Other Control Functions
L Starting Control
When the engine is started, the ECM provides a rich mi{ure by increasing fuel injector duration.
2. Fuel PumD Control
. When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies
current to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.
. When the engine is running, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-FI main relay that supplies current to the fuel
DUmO.
. When the engine is not running and the ignition is on. the ECM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relay which cuts
current to the fuel oumo.
