If the misfire is frequent enough to damage the catalyst, the MIL will blink whenever the misfire occurs, and DTC P0300 (and some combination of P0301 through P0306) will be stored. When the misfire stops, the MIL will remain on. Troubleshoot the following DTCs first, if any of them were stored along with the random misfire DTC(s) (Because parts can sometimes fail without setting DTCs you should also do a physical inspection of the systems listed below): P0101, P0102, P0103: MAF sensor P0107, P0108, P1128, P1129: MAP sensor P0171, P0172, P0174, P0175: Fuel system P0335, P0339: CKP sensor P0506, P0507: Idle control system P0365, P0369: CMP sensor P0401, P0404, P0406, P2413: EGR system P2646, P2647, P2648, P2649: VTEC system

ECM/PCM Update

Special Tools Required

Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) tablet tester
Honda Interface Module (HIM) and an iN workstation with the latest HDS software version
HDS pocket tester
GNA600 and an iN workstation with the latest HDS software version
MVCI unit with the latest control module (CM) update software installed

Any one of the above updating tools can be used.

Note. Make sure the HDS/iN workstation or the MVCI unit has the latest HDS software version. Before you update the ECM/PCM, make sure the battery in the vehicle is fully charged, and connect a jumper battery (not a battery charger) to maintain system voltage. Never turn the ignition switch to ACC (I) or LOCK (0), or never press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF or ACC mode during the update. If there is a problem with the update, leave the ignition switch ON (II) or vehicle in the ON mode. To prevent ECM/PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system, brakes, A/C, power windows, moonroof, door locks, etc.) during the update. To ensure the latest program is installed, do a ECM/PCM update whenever the ECM/PCM is substituted or replaced. You cannot update a ECM/PCM with a program it already has. It will only accept a new program. High temperature in the engine compartment might cause the ECM/PCM to become too hot to run the update. If the engine has been running before this procedure, open the hood and cool the engine compartment. If you need to diagnose the Honda interface module (HIM) because the HIM's red (#3) light came on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in ON (II) or vehicle in the ON mode when you disconnect the HIM from the data link connector (DLC). This will prevent ECM/PCM damage.

Scheme 260

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode, but do not start the engine.
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn't, go to the «DLC circuit troubleshooting»(/acura/tl/iv-2011-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#pgm-fi-system__dlc-circuit-troubleshooting) . If you are returning from the DLC circuit troubleshooting, skip steps 4 and 5, and clean the throttle body (see «THROTTLE BODY CLEANING»(/acura/tl/iv-2011-2014/remont/mechanical/#intake-air-system__throttle-body-cleaning) ) after updating the ECM/PCM.
Select the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
Select the ETCS TEST, then select the TP POSITION CHECK, and follow the HDS screen prompts. NOTE: If the TP POSITION CHECK indicates FAILED, continue this procedure.
Exit the HDS diagnostic system, then select the update mode, and follow the screen prompts to update the ECM/PCM.
If the software in the ECM/PCM is the latest, disconnect the updating tool from the DLC, and go back to the procedure that you were doing. If the software in the ECM/PCM is not the latest, follow the instructions on the screen. If prompted to choose the PGM-FI system or the A/T system, make sure you update both. NOTE: If the ECM/PCM update system requires you to cool the ECM/PCM, follow the instructions on screen. If you run into a problem during the update procedure (programming takes over 15 minutes, status bar goes over 100 %, D or immobilizer indicator flashes, HDS tablet freezes, etc.), follow these steps to minimize the chance of damaging the ECM/PCM: Leave the ignition switch in ON (II) or vehicle in the ON mode. Connect a jumper battery (do not connect a battery charger). Shut down the updating tool. Disconnect the updating tool from the DLC. Reboot the updating tool. Reconnect the updating tool to the DLC, and try the update procedure again.
If the TP POSITION CHECK failed in step 5 , clean the throttle body (see «THROTTLE BODY CLEANING»(/acura/tl/iv-2011-2014/remont/mechanical/#intake-air-system__throttle-body-cleaning) ).
Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(/acura/tl/iv-2011-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#idle-control-system__ecmpcm-idle-learn-procedure) ).
Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure (see «CKP PATTERN CLEAR/CKP PATTERN LEARN»(/acura/tl/iv-2011-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#fuel-and-emissions-systems) ).

Enter the immobilizer ECM/PCM code that you got from the iN, and use the ECM/PCM replacement procedure in the IMMOBI Menu (without keyless access) or ONE PUSH START Menu (with keyless access) of the HDS; it allows you to start the engine.
If the TP POSITION CHECK failed in step 6 clean the throttle body (see «THROTTLE BODY CLEANING»(/acura/tl/iv-2011-2014/remont/mechanical/#intake-air-system__throttle-body-cleaning) ), then go to step 26.
