DTC 15-1: Faulty OPDS Unit
NOTE:. An incorrect OPDS unit can cause DTC 15-1.. A new (uninitialized) OPDS unit installed with a faulty
OPDS sensor can cause DTC 15-1.. lf you install a new OPDS unit and a new SRS unit at
the same time, initialize the OPDS manually (see
page 23-27), do not use the Honda PGM Tester.
1. Make sure nothing is on the front passenger's seat.
2. Initialize the OPDS unit (see page 23-27).
3. Erase the DTC memory (see page 23-26]'.
