General Troubleshooting Information
Intermittent Failures
The term "intermittent failure" means a svstem mav
have had a failure. but it checks OK now. lf the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) on the dash does not
come on, check for Door connections or loose terminals
at all connectors related to the circuit that Vou are
troubleshooting.
Opens and Shorts
"Ooen" and "Short" are common electrical terms. An
open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is
an accidental connection of a wire to ground or to
another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means
something won't work at all. With complex electronics(such as ECMs)this can sometimes mean something
works, but not the way it's supposed to.
How to Use the PGM Tester or a Scan Tool
lf the MIL {Malfunction Indicator Lamp} has come on
'1. Start the engine and check the MIL {A).
NOTE: lf the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), and
the engine is not started, the MIL will stay on for
15 20 seconds (see page 11-46).
K-> ;"PN/.- -::: - -d V-: !
w:ix&K#
2. lf the MIL stays on, connect the Honda PGM Tester(A) or an OBD ll scan tool to the Data Link
Connector {DLC) (B) located under the driver's side
of the dashboard.
3.
5.
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll).
Check the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and note
it. Also check the freeze data. Refer to the DTC
Troubleshooting Index, and begin the appropriate
troubleshooting procedure.
lf you do not find any DTCS, go to MIL circuit
troubleshooting (see page 11-97).
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 l\4odule {EClvl) data.. For specific operations, refer to the user's manual
that came with the scan tool or Honda PG l\4 Tester.
lf the MIL did not stay
lf the MIL did not come on but there is a driveability
problem, refer to the Symptom Troubleshooting Index
in this section.
lf you can't duplicate the DTC
Some of the troubleshooting in this section requires
you to reset the ECM and try to duplicate the DTC. lf rhe
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.

How to Reset the ECM
You can reset the ECM in either of two ways:
. Use the OBD ll scantool or Honda PGMTesterto
reset the ECM memory.
See the OBD ll scan tool or Honda PGI\4 Tester user's
manuals for specific instructions.' Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the No. 6
ECU {ECM} (15A) fuse (A)from the under-hood fuse/
relav box (Blfor 10 seconds.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session
(required after any troubleshootingl
1. Reset the ECM as described above.
2. Do the ECM idle learn procedure (see page 11-139)
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnectthe OBD ll scan tool or Honda PGM
Tester from the DLC.
NOTE: The ECM is part of the immobilizer system.
lf vou replace the ECM, it will have a different
immobilizer code. In order for the engine to start,
you must rewrite the immobilizer code with the
Honda PGM Tester.

How to Remove the ECM for Testing
1. Remove the passenger's dashboard lower cover
{see page 20-63), the passenger's kick panel (see
page 20-63), and the glove box (see page 20-63).
2. Remove the ECM mounting bolts (B) and the ECM
(c),
9.8 N.m{1.0 kgf.m,7.2lbt.ft}
3. Remove the ECM (B).
4. Installthe ECM in the reverse order of removal.

ECM Updating and Substitution for Testing
Special Tools Bequired
Honda Interface Module (HlM) EOS05435570
Use this procedure when you have to substitute a
known-good ECM in a troubleshooting procedure.
U pdate the ECM only if the ECN4 does not already have
the latest software loaded,
NOTE;. lMake sure the battery is fully charged before you
update the ECN4.. To prevent ECM damage during the update, do not
turn the ignition switch OFF, and do not use any of
the vehicle's electrical devices (light, horn, radio, etc. ).
How to Update the ECM
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll). Do not startthe
eng Ine.
2. Connect the Honda lnterface Module (HlM) to the
Data Link Connector {DLC) (A) located under the
driver's side of dashboard.
EOS05A35570
Do the ECM update procedure as described on the
HlN4 label and in the ECM update system.

How to Substitute the ECM
'1. Remove the ECM f rom the vehicle.
2. Install a known-good ECM in the vehicle.
3. Rewrite the immobilizer code with the ECM
replacement procedure from the Honda PGM
Tester. lt allows you to start the engine.
4. After completing your tests, reinstall the original
ECM and rewrite the immobilizer code with the
ECM replacement procedure on the Honda PGM
Tester again.
