2. Turn the ignition switch ON (||). but do not start the engine.NOTE: Do not depress the brake pedal when turning the ignition switch.
3 Record the brinking frequency of the ABS indicator right. The brinking frequency indicates the DTc.
4, Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the SCS service connector.NorE: The Mslfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) will stay on after the engine is started if the scs service connector isconnected.
5. Erase the DTC.
Condhions for DTC indication. The vehicle is stoDDed.. The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON fll).. The brake pedal is released.. Th€ SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure
The DTG indication stops 8nd the ABs conltol unit executes the softwaro tunqtion if at least one of the following condi-tions b satisfied:
o The vehicle is not stoDoed.' The ABS control unit receives the normat signal (which is for the ABS controt unit) from a Honda pGM Tester.. The SCS service connector is disconnected during this procedu.e,
