  9. Do the battery terminal reconnection procedure (see «BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/body-electrical/#battery-4-cyl) ).

ECM/PCM Update

Special Tools Required

  1. Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) tablet tester
  2. Honda Interface Module (HIM) and an iN workstation with the latest HDS software version
  3. HDS pocket tester
  4. GNA600 and an iN workstation with the latest HDS software version
  5. 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 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) during the update. If there is a problem with the update, leave the ignition switch in ON (II). To prevent ECM/PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system, brakes, A/C, power windows, moonroof (if equipped), door locks, etc.) during the update. To ensure the latest program is installed, do an ECM/PCM update whenever the ECM/PCM is substituted or replaced. You cannot update an 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) when you disconnect the HIM from the data link connector (DLC). This will prevent ECM/PCM damage.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), but do not start the engine.
  2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
  3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn't, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#pgm-fi-system-4-cyl__dlc-circuit-troubleshooting) ).
  4. Exit the HDS diagnostic system, then select the update mode, and follow the prompts to update the ECM/PCM.
  5. If the software in the ECM/PCM is the latest, disconnect the updating tools 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 (A/T), make sure you update both. NOTE: If the ECM/PCM update system requires you to cool the ECM/PCM, follow the instructions on the screen. If you run into a problem during the update procedure (programming takes over 15 minutes, status bar goes over 100%, D (A/T) 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). 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 do the update again.
  6. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#idle-control-system-4-cyl__ecmpcm-idle-learn-procedure) ).
  7. Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure (see «CKP PATTERN CLEAR/CKP PATTERN LEARN»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#fuel-and-emissions-systems-4-cyl) ).

Scheme 525
  1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn't, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#pgm-fi-system-4-cyl__dlc-circuit-troubleshooting) ). If you are returning from the DLC circuit troubleshooting, skip steps 4 through 9, 19 through 24, and 27 through 29, and do these procedures after replacing the ECM/PCM: Replace the engine oil (see «ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication-4-cyl) ) and the engine oil filter (see «ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication-4-cyl__engine-oil-filter-replacement) ). Replace the ATF (A/T) (see «ATF REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4-cyl) ). Clean the throttle body (see «AIR CLEANER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/mechanical/#intake-air-system-4-cyl) ).
  4. Select the PGM-FI system with the HDS.
  5. Select the REPLACE ECM/PCM MENU, then READ DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: Doing this step copies (READS) the engine oil life data from the original ECM/PCM so you can later download (WRITES) it into the new ECM/PCM. If READ DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
  6. A/T: Select the A/T system with the HDS.
  7. A/T: Select the REPLACE TCM/PCM MENU, then READ DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: A/T: Doing this step copies (READS) the ATF life data from the original PCM so you can later download (WRITES) it into the new PCM. A/T: If READ DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
  8. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  9. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
  10. Remove the ECM/PCM cover (A).
  11. Remove the battery setting plate (B), and reposition the battery away from the ECM/PCM. NOTE: Do not disconnect the battery terminals.
  12. Remove the bolts (D).
  13. Disconnect ECM/PCM connectors A, B, and C, then remove the ECM/PCM (E). NOTE: ECM/PCM connectors A, B, and C have symbols (A=[], B=delta, C=o) embossed on them for identification. Canada model: When disconnecting the ECM/PCM connectors, remove the ECM/PCM sub bracket (F).
  14. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
  15. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  16. Manually input the VIN to the ECM/PCM with the HDS. NOTE: DTC P0630 VIN Not Programmed or Mismatch may be stored because the VIN has not been programmed into the ECM/PCM; ignore it, and continue this procedure.
  17. If the READ DATA (engine oil life) failed in step 5 , go to step 20 (A/T) or step 23 (M/T). Otherwise, go to step 18.
  18. Select the PGM-FI system with the HDS.
  19. Select the REPLACE ECM/PCM MENU, then WRITE DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: If the WRITE DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
  20. A/T: If the READ DATA (ATF life) failed in step 6 , go to step 23 . Otherwise go to step 23.
  21. A/T: Select the A/T SYSTEM with the HDS.
  22. A/T: Select the REPLACE TCM/PCM MENU, then WRITE DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: A/T: If the WRITE DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
  23. Select IMMOBI system with the HDS.
  24. Enter the immobilizer ECM/PCM code that you got from the iN, and use the ECM/PCM replacement procedure in the IMMOBI MENU of the HDS; it allows you to start the engine.
  25. If the READ DATA failed in step 7, or the WRITE DATA failed in step 22, replace the engine oil (see «ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication-4-cyl) ) and engine oil filter (see «ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication-4-cyl__engine-oil-filter-replacement) ), then go to step 26 (A/T) or step 27 (M/T).
  26. A/T: If the READ DATA failed in step 7 or the WRITE DATA failed in step 22 , replace the ATF (see «ATF REPLACEMENT»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission-4-cyl) ), then go to step 27.
  27. Select PGM-FI system, and reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
  28. Clean the throttle body (see «THROTTLE BODY CLEANING»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/mechanical/#intake-air-system-4-cyl__throttle-body-cleaning) ).
  29. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see «ECM/PCM UPDATE»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#pgm-fi-system-4-cyl__ecmpcm-update) ).
  30. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#idle-control-system-4-cyl__ecmpcm-idle-learn-procedure) ).
  31. Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure (see «CKP PATTERN CLEAR/CKP PATTERN LEARN»(/acura/tsx/ii-2008-2014/remont/testing-diagnostics/#fuel-and-emissions-systems-4-cyl) ).
