Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes

NOTE: This operation can also be carried out with Honda PGM Tester.

1. Connect the SCS service connector to the service check connector inside the passenger's side kick panel.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the engine.

NOTE: Do not depress the brake pedal when turning the ignition switch.

3. Record the blinking frequency of the ABS indicator light. The blinking frequency indicates the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
4. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and remove the SCS service connector.

NOTE: The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will stay on after the engine is started if the SCS service connector is connected.

5. Erase the DTC.

CONDITIONS FOR DTC INDICATION
- The vehicle is stopped.
- The SCS service connector is connected before the ignition switch is turned ON (II).
- The brake pedal is released.
- The SCS service connector remains connected during this procedure.

THE DTC INDICATION STOPS AND THE ABS CONTROL UNIT EXECUTES THE SOFTWARE FUNCTION IF AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS SATISFIED:





- The vehicle is not stopped.
- The ABS control unit receives the normal signal (which is for the ABS control unit) from a Honda PGM Tester.
- The SCS service connector is disconnected during this procedure.
- When ignition switch is turned ON (II), the ABS indicator light comes on to check the bulb. Do not count it as a DTC.
- The ABS control unit can memorize any number of DTCs.
- The new DTC is not memorized when the ABS control unit has already memorized the same DTC.
- If the DTC is not memorized, the ABS indicator light stays ON after it goes off for 3.6 seconds.
