With Manufacturer's Scan Tool

When the Malfunction indicator Lamp (MIL) has been reported on, or there is a driveability problem, use the appropriate procedure below to diagnose and repair the problem.




1. Connect the Honda PGM Tester or an OBD-II scan tool to the 16P Date Link Connector (DLC) located on the center console behind the ashtray.

2. Turn the ignition switch ON.


3. Honda PGM Tester: Begin troubleshooting as indicated by the tester. The DTC troubleshooting flowcharts are not needed with the tester; follow the tester's prompts.

OBD-II scan tool: Check the DTC and note it. Also check and note the freeze frame data.

Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Charts and begin troubleshooting.

NOTE:
- See the OBD-II scan tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manuals for specific operating instructions.
- The scan tool or tester can read the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC), freeze frame data, current data, and other Engine Control Module (ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (PCM) data.
- Freeze frame data indicates the engine conditions when the first malfunction, misfire or fuel trim malfunction was detected. It can be useful information when troubleshooting.
