PCM Reset Procedure

1. Turn the ignition switch off.




2. Remove the BACK UP fuse (7.5 A) from the under-hood fuse/relay box for 10 seconds to reset the PCM.

NOTE:
- Disconnecting the BACK UP fuse also cancels the radio preset stations and clock setting. Make note of the radio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them.
- The PCM memory cannot be cleared by using the OBD II Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester; be sure to remove the BACK UP fuse to reset the PCM.
