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.

Fuel Gauge Sending Unit Test
Special Tools Required
Fuel sender wrench 07XAA-001010A
NOTE; For the fuel gauge system circuit diagram, referto the Gauges Circuit Diagram (see page 22-58||.
1. Checkthe No. 10 fUETER {7.5A)fuse in the under-
dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Do the gauge drive circuit check (see page 22-56|l.
' lf the fuel gauge needle sweeps from minimuni
to maximum position and then returns to the
minimum position. the gauge is OK. Go to step 3.. lf the fuel gau ge need le does not sweep from
minimum to maximum position position and
then return to the minimum position, replace thegauge assembly and retest.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Remove the rear seat cushion {see page 20-80).
5. Remove the access panel (A)from the floor.
6. Disconnect the fuel pump 5P connector {B).
