How to Troubleshoot EPS DTCs
The troubleshooting flowchart procedures assume that
the cause of the problem is still present and the EPS
indicator is still on, Following the flowchart when the
EPS indicator does not come on can result in incorrect
diagnosis.
The connector iliustrations show the female terminal
connectors with a single outline and the male terminal
connectors with a double outline.
1. Ouestion the customer about the conditions when
the problem occured, and try to reproduce the
same conditions for troubleshooting. Find out
when the EPS indicator came on, such as while
turning. afterturning, when the vehicle was at a
ce rta in speed, etc.
2. When the EPS indicator does not come on during
the test drive, but troubleshooting is done based on
the DTC, check for loose connectors, poor terminal
contact. etc in the affected circuit, before you start
troubleshooting.
3. After trou bleshooting, clear the DTC and test-drive
the vehicle. Be sure the EPS indicator does not
come on.
How to Retrieve EPS DTCs
Honda PGM Tester Method:
1, With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A) to the 16P data link connector (DLC)
(B) located under the dash on the driver's side of
the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition ON (ll), and follow the prompts on
the PGM Tester to display the DTC(s) on the screen.
After determining the DTC, refer to the DTC
Troubleshooting Index.
NOTE: See the Honda PGM Tester user's manual
for specific instructions.
Service Check Signal Circuit Method:
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A)to the 16P data link connector (DLC)
(B) located under the dash on the driver's side of
the vehicle.
Short the SCS circuit to body ground using the
Honda PGN4 Tester.
Turn the ignition switch ON {ll).
Record the DTC.

Service Check Signal Circuit Method:
NOTE: Use this procedure when the PGM Tester
software does not match the yearlmodel vehicle you
are working on.
1. With the ignition switch OFF, connect the Honda
PGM Tester (A) to the 16P data link connector {DLC)(B) located under the dash on the driver's side of
the vehicle.
With the vehicle on the ground, set the front wheels
in the straight ahead driving position.
Short the SCS circuit to body ground using the
Honda PGM Tester.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). The EPS indicator
comes on for about 6 seconds. Within 4 seconds of
turning the switch ON, while the EPS indicator is on,
turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left from
the straight ahead driving position, and hold the
steering wheel in that position until the EPS
indicator goes off.
Within 4 seconds afterthe EPS indicator goes off,
return the steering wheel to the straight ahead
driving position and release the steering wheel.
The EPS indicator comes on again 4 seconds after
releasing the steering wheel,
Within 4 seconds after the EPS indicator comes on,
turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left again
and hold it in that position.
The EPS indicator goes off after 4 seconds.
4.
1.Within 4 seconds after the EPS indicator goes off,
return the steering wheel to the straight ahead
driving position again and release the steering
wheel. The EPS indicator blinks twice 4 seconds
after releasing the steering wheel, indicating that
the DTC was erased.
NOTE: If the EPS indicator does not blink twice, an
error was made in the procedure and the DTC was
not erased. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and
repeat the operation from step 3.
Turn the ignition switch OFF afterthe EPS indicator
blinks twice.
9. Disconnect the Honda PGM Tester from the DLC.
10. Perform the DTC code output operation, and be
sure that the code has been erased.

Troubleshooting lntermittent Failures
lf there was a malfunction, but it doesn't recur. it will be
stored in the memory as an intermittent failure, and the
SRS indicator will come on.
After checking the DTC, troubleshoot as follows:
1. Read the DTC (see "Reading the DTC").
2. Erase the DTC memory (see "Erasing the DTC
Memory").
3. With the shift lever in neutral, start the engine, and
let it idle.
The SRS indicator will come on for about 6 seconds
and then go off.
Shake the wire harness and the connectors. take a
test drive (quick acceleration, quick braking,
cornering), turn the steering wheel fully left and
right, and hold it there for 5 to '10 seconds. lf the
problem recurs, the SRS indicator will come on.
lf you can't duplicate the intermittent failure, the
system is OK at this time.
