- 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 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 press the engine start/stop button during the update. If there is a problem with the update, leave the ignition switch in ON (II) or keep the vehicle in the ON mode. To prevent 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 PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or replaced. You cannot update a PCM with a program it already has. It will only accept anew program. High temperature in the engine compartment might cause the 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 keep the vehicle in the ON mode when you disconnect the HIM from the data link connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
Scheme 243
- 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 PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn't, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/communication-devices/#communication-systems-f-can-k-line__dlc-circuit-troubleshooting) ).
- Exit the HDS diagnostic system, then select the update mode, and follow the screen prompts to update the PCM.
- If the software in the 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 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 PCM update system requires you to cool the 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 PCM: Leave the ignition switch in ON (II) or keep the 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.
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see «PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#idle-control-system__pcm-idle-learn-procedure) ).
- Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure (see «CKP PATTERN CLEAR/CKP PATTERN LEARN»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#fuel-and-emissions-systems) ).
PCM Replacement

- HDS pocket tester
- GNA600 and an iN workstation with the latest HDS software version

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.
Scheme 244
Scheme 245
- Connect HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the Driver's side of the dashboard.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
- Make sure the HDS communicates with the PCM and all other vehicle systems. If it doesn't, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/communication-devices/#communication-systems-f-can-k-line__dlc-circuit-troubleshooting) ). If the result of the DLC circuit troubleshooting is to replace the PCM, skip steps 4 through 7 , 16 through 21 , and 24 through 25 , and do the following procedures after replacing the PCM: Replace the engine oil (see «ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication) ) and the engine oil filter (see «ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication__engine-oil-filter-replacement) ). Replace the ATF (see «ATF REPLACEMENT»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission__atf-replacement) ).
- Select the PGM-FI system with the HDS.
- Select the REPLACE PCM MENU, then select READ DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: Doing this step copies (READS) the engine oil life data from the original PCM so you can later download (WRITES) it into the new PCM. If the READ DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
- Select the A/T system with the HDS.
- Select the REPLACE TCM/PCM MENU, then select READ DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: Doing this step copies (READS) the ATF life data from the original PCM so you can later download (WRITES) it into the new PCM. If READ DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Remove the bracket (D), then remove the cover (E).
- Disconnect PCM connectors A, B, and C. NOTE: PCM connectors A, B, and C have symbols (A=[], B=delta, C=o) embossed on them for identification.
- Loosen or remove the bolts (F), and remove the PCM (G).
- Install the PCM in the reverse order of removal.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.
- Manually input the VIN to the PCM with the HDS. NOTE: DTC P0630 VIN Not Programmed or Mismatch may be stored because the VIN has not been programmed into the PCM; ignore it, and continue this procedure.
- If the READ DATA (engine oil life) failed in step 5 , go to step 19 . Otherwise, go to step 17.
- Select the PGM-FI system with the HDS.
- Select the REPLACE PCM MENU, then select WRITE DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: If the WRITE DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
- If the READ DATA (ATF life) failed in step 7 , go to step 22 . Otherwise go to step 20.
- Select the A/T SYSTEM with the HDS.
- Select the REPLACE TCM/PCM MENU, then select WRITE DATA, and follow the screen prompts. NOTE: If the WRITE DATA indicates FAILED, continue with this procedure.
- Select the IMMOBI system (without keyless access) or ONE PUSH START system (with keyless access) with the HDS.
- Enter the immobilizer PCM code that you got from the iN, and use the 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 READ DATA failed in step 5 or the WRITE DATA failed in step 18 , replace the engine oil (see «ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication) ) and the engine oil filter (see «ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/lubrication-system/#engine-lubrication__engine-oil-filter-replacement) ), then go to step 25.
- If the READ DATA failed in step 7 or the WRITE DATA failed in step 21 , replace the ATF (see «ATF REPLACEMENT»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/automatic-trans/#automatic-transmission__atf-replacement) ), then go to step 26.
- Clean the throttle body (see «THROTTLE BODY TEST»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/engine-control-systems/#electronic-throttle-control-system__throttle-body-test) ).
- Select the PGM-FI system, and reset the PCM with the HDS.
- Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see «PCM UPDATE»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#pgm-fi-system__pcm-update) ).
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see «PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#idle-control-system__pcm-idle-learn-procedure) ).
- Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure (see «CKP PATTERN CLEAR/CKP PATTERN LEARN»(/acura/zdx/i-2009-2013/remont/testing-diagnostics/#fuel-and-emissions-systems) ).
