Intermittent Failures
The term intermittent failure means a system may have had a failure, but it checks OK now. If the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the dash does not come on, check for poor connections or loose terminals at all connectors related to the circuit that you are troubleshooting. If the MIL was on but then went out, the original problem may have been intermittent.
Service Information
Periodically, new PCM software or new service procedures may become available. Always check online for the latest software or service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting.
Opens and Shorts
Open and short are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an accidental connection of a wire to ground or to another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means something won't work at all. With complex electronics (such as PCMs) this can sometimes mean something works, but not the way it's supposed to.
HDS Clear Command
The PCM stores various specific data to backup the system even if there is no electrical power such as when the battery negative terminal or No. A19 BACK UP Fl ECU (7.5 A) fuse is disconnected. Stored data based on failed parts should be cleared by using the CLEAR COMMAND of the HDS, if parts are replaced.
The HDS has three kinds of clear commands to meet this purpose. They are DTC clear, PCM reset, and CKP pattern clear. The DTC clear command erases all stored DTC codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, and readiness codes. This must be done with the HDS after reproducing the DTC during troubleshooting. The PCM reset command erases all stored DTC codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, readiness codes, and all specific data to correct the system except CKP pattern. If the CKP pattern data in the PCM was cleared, you must do the CKP pattern learn procedure. The CKP pattern clear command erases only CKP pattern data. This command is for repair of a misfire or the CKP sensor.
Learn Procedure (without the HDS)
- Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.
- Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate (with the throttle fully closed) from an engine speed of 2,500 rpm down to 1,000 rpm with the transmission in 2.
- Repeat step 2 several times.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 30 seconds.
Substituting the PCM
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. Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM during troubleshooting procedures. Use this procedure when you have to substitute a known-good PCM during troubleshooting procedures. Make sure the HDS/IN workstation or the MVCI has the latest HDS software version.

- Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- 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»(ref-360057-S07895027512010042600000) ).
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Do the battery removal procedure (see «BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-360074-S11284333632010042600000) ).
- Remove the bolts (D).
- Disconnect PCM connectors A, B, and C, then remove the PCM assembly (E). NOTE: PCM connectors A, B, and C have symbols (A=[], B=delta, C=o) embossed on them for identification.
- Remove the cover (A) and the bracket (B) from the PCM (C).
- Install a known-good PCM in the reverse order of removal.
- Do the battery installation procedure (see «BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-360074-S11284333632010042600000) ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). 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.
- Manually input the VIN to the PCM with the HDS.
- Select the IMMOBI SYSTEM with the HDS.
- Enter the immobilizer PCM code that you got from the iN, and use the PCM replacement procedure in the IMMOBI MENU of the HDS; it allows you to start the engine.
- 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»(ref-360080-S11980508702010042600000) ).
- Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see «PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-360079-S22847966492010042600000) ).
- Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP pattern learn procedure.
OBD Status
The OBD status shows the current system status of each DTC and all of the parameters. This function is used to see if the repair was successfully completed. The results of diagnostic tests for the DTC are displayed as
- PASSED: The on board diagnosis is successfully finished.
- FAILED: The on board diagnosis has finished but failed.
- EXECUTING: The vehicle is in enable criteria conditions of the DTC and the on board diagnosis is running.
- NOT COMPLETED: The on board diagnosis was running but is out of the enable conditions of the DTC.
- OUT OF CONDITION: The vehicle has stayed out of the enable conditions of the DTC.
Electronic Control Systems
The functions of the fuel and emission control systems are managed by the powertrain control module (PCM).
Self-Diagnosis
The PCM detects a failure of a signal from a sensor or from another control unit and stores a Pending DTC or a Confirmed DTC. Depending on the failure, a Confirmed DTC is stored in either the first or the second drive cycle. When a Confirmed DTC is stored, the PCM turns on the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) by a signal sent to the gauge via F-CAN.
- One Drive Cycle Detection Method When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit, the PCM stores a Confirmed DTC for the failure and turns on the MIL immediately.
- Two Drive Cycle Detection Method When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit in the first drive cycle, the PCM stores a Pending DTC. The MIL does not come on at this time. If the failure continues in the second drive cycle, the PCM stores a Confirmed DTC and turns on the MIL.
Fail-Safe Function
When an abnormality occurs in the signal from a sensor or from another control unit, the PCM ignores that signal and substitutes a pre-programmed value for it that allows the engine to continue running. This causes a Confirmed DTC to be stored and the MIL to come on.
MIL Bulb Check and Readiness Code Condition
When the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the PCM turns on the MIL via the F-CAN circuit for about 15 to 20 seconds to check the bulb condition. If any readiness codes are not set to complete, the MIL flashes five times. If all readiness codes are set to complete, the MIL goes off.
Self Shut Down (SSD) Mode
After the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), the PCM stays on (about 40 minutes). If a PCM connector is disconnected during this time, the PCM may be damaged. To cancel this mode, disconnect the negative cable from the battery or jump the SCS line with the HDS after the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0).

PGM-FI System
The programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) system is a sequential multiport fuel injection system.
Alternator Control
The alternator signals the PCM during charging. The PCM then controls the voltage generated at the alternator according to the electrical load determined by the electrical load detector (ELD) and the driving mode. This reduces engine load to improve fuel economy.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor Clutch Relay
When the PCM receives a demand for cooling from the A/C system, it delays the compressor from being energized, and enriches the mixture to assure a smooth transition to the A/C mode.
Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor
The A/F sensor operates over a wide mixture range. The A/F sensor is installed upstream of the warm up three way catalytic converter (WU-TWC), and it sends signals to the PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly.
Scheme 38
Barometric Pressure (BARO) Sensor
The BARO sensor is inside the PCM. It converts atmospheric pressure into a voltage signal that is used by the PCM to modify the basic duration of the fuel injection discharge.
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
The CMP sensor detects the position of the No. 1 cylinder as a reference for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder.
Scheme 39
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The CKP sensor detects crankshaft speed, and is used by the PCM to determine ignition timing, timing for fuel injection of each cylinder, as well as detecting engine misfire.
Scheme 40
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor 1 and 2
ECT sensors 1 and 2 are temperature dependent resistors (thermistors). The resistance decreases as the engine coolant temperature increases.
Scheme 41
Ignition Timing Control
The PCM contains the memory for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold absolute pressures. It also adjusts the timing according to engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature.
Injector Timing and Duration
The PCM contains the memory for basic discharge duration at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. The basic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is further modified by inputs sent from various sensors to obtain the final discharge duration.
By monitoring long term fuel trim, the PCM can detect long term malfunctions in the fuel system and sets diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) if needed.
Knock Sensor
The knock control system adjusts the ignition timing to minimize knock.
Scheme 42
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain readiness codes that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have been cleared, or if the PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to complete, the vehicle may fail the test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), but do not start the engine. The MIL will come on for 15-20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are complete. If it flashes five times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set each code, drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures.
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor
The MAP sensor converts manifold absolute pressure into electrical signals that are sent to the PCM.
Scheme 43
Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor/Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor/intake air temperature (IAT) sensor contains a hot wire sensor, a cold wire sensor, and a thermistor. It is in the intake air passage. The resistance of the hot wire sensor, the cold wire sensor, and the thermistor changes due to intake air temperature and air flow. The control circuit in the MAF sensor controls the current to keep the hot wire at a set temperature. The current is converted to voltage in the control circuit, then output to the PCM.
Scheme 44
Output Shaft (Countershaft) Speed Sensor
This sensor detects output shaft (countershaft) speed.
Scheme 45
Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the warm up three way catalytic converter (WU-TWC), and sends signals to the PCM. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The PCM compares the HO2S output with the A/F sensor output to determine catalyst efficiency. A secondary HO2S is installed in each bank, downstream of the WU-TWCs.
Scheme 46
Electronic Throttle Control System
The throttle is electronically controlled. Refer to the system diagram to see a functional layout of the system.
Idle control: When the engine is idling, the PCM controls the throttle actuator to maintain the proper idle speed according to engine loads.
Acceleration control: When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the PCM opens the throttle valve based on the accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor signal.
Cruise control: The PCM controls the throttle actuator to maintain set speed when the cruise control is operating. The throttle actuator takes the place of the cruise control actuator.
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
As the accelerator pedal position changes, the sensor varies the signal voltage to the PCM which then controls the throttle position.
Scheme 47
Throttle Body
The throttle body is a single-barrel side draft type. The lower portion of the throttle valve is heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head to prevent icing of the throttle plate.
Scheme 48
Electronic Throttle Control System Diagram
The electronic throttle control system consists of the throttle actuator, throttle position (TP) sensor A/B, accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor A/B, the electronic throttle control system (ETCS) control relay, and the PCM.
Scheme 49
Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) System
The VCM system activates the cylinders based on the driving condition. The system has three modes: 6 cylinder (all cylinder activation), 4 cylinder (pauses the No. 3 and No. 4 cylinders), and 3 cylinder (pauses the rear bank of cylinders). On paused cylinders, the intake and exhaust valves are kept closed. Since the valves are closed, the frictional losses from the valve spring compression and pumping are reduced because no air is compressed in the cylinder. This reduces engine drag.
Scheme 50
During 6 Cylinder Mode
With the rocker arm oil control solenoids A (Bank 1), B (Bank 1), and A (Bank 2) OFF, the rocker arm oil control valves direct oil pressure. Oil pressure enters the primary rocker arm from the oil passage in the rocker shaft, and it moves the VTEC switching piston, sliding it into the secondary rocker arm and locking primary rocker arm and secondary rocker arms together. The rocker arms are lifted by the camshaft, and all cylinders are active.
Scheme 51
During 4 Cylinder Mode
When rocker arm oil control solenoids B (Bank 1) and A (Bank 2) are turned on by the PCM, the front and rear rocker arm oil control valves switch the oil pressure. Oil pressure then enters the No. 3 and No. 4 cylinder's secondary rocker arm from the oil passage in the rocker shaft, causing the VTEC switching piston to slide into the primary rocker arm and against the return spring. This disengages the secondary rocker arm from the primary rocker arm to stop valve activation. The No. 3 and No. 4 cylinder's rocker arms do not move, and the No. 3 and No. 4 cylinders are paused. In the other four cylinders, oil pressure from the front and rear rocker arm oil control valves lock the primary and secondary rocker arms together. The rocker arms are moved by the camshaft, and the four cylinders are active.
Scheme 52
During 3 Cylinder Mode
When rocker arm oil control solenoid A (Bank 1) is turned on by the PCM, the rear rocker arm oil control valve switches the oil pressure. Oil pressure then enters the rear bank cylinder's secondary rocker arm from the oil passage in the rocker shaft, causing the VTEC switching piston to slide into the primary rocker arm and against the return spring. This disengages the secondary rocker arm from the primary rocker arm to stop valve activation. The rear bank cylinder's rocker arms do not move, and the rear bank cylinders are paused. At the front bank, oil pressure from the front rocker arm oil control valve locks the No. 4 cylinder's primary and secondary rocker arms together. The No. 4 cylinder's rocker arms are moved by the camshaft, and all front bank cylinders are active.
Scheme 53
Idle Control System
When the engine is cold, if the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear, the brake pedal is pressed, the power steering load is high, or the alternator is charging, the PCM controls current to the throttle actuator to maintain the correct idle speed.
Brake Pedal Position Switch
The brake pedal position switch signals the PCM when the brake pedal is pressed.
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch
The PSP switch signals the PCM when the power steering load is high.
Fuel Cutoff Control
During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the injectors is cut off to improve fuel economy at engine speeds over 850 rpm. Fuel cutoff control also occurs when the engine speed exceeds 6,900 rpm, regardless of the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from over-revving. When the vehicle is stopped, the PCM cuts the fuel at engine speeds over 5,000 rpm. On a cold engine, fuel cut occurs at a low engine speed.
Fuel Pump Control
When the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), the PCM grounds PGM-FI main relay 2 which feeds current to the fuel pump for 2 seconds to pressurize the fuel system. When the engine starts, the PCM grounds PGM-FI main relay 2 and feeds current to the fuel pump. When the engine is not running and the ignition switch is in ON (II), the PCM cuts ground to PGM-FI main relay 2 which cuts current to the fuel pump.
PGM-FI Main Relays 1 and 2
PGM-FI main relay 1 is energized whenever the ignition switch is in ON (II) to supply battery voltage to the PCM, power to the injectors, and power for PGM-FI main relay 2. PGM-FI main relay 2 is energized to supply power to the fuel pump for 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned to ON (II), and when the engine is cranking or running.
Warm Up Three Way Catalytic Converter (WU-TWC) and Under-Floor Three Way Catalytic Converter (Under-Floor TWC)
The WU-TWC/Under-floor TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), and water vapor.
WU-TWC
Scheme 54
UNDER-FLOOR TWC
Scheme 55
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System
Refer to the system diagram to see a functional layout of the system.
EGR Valve
The EGR valve lowers peak combustion temperatures and reduces oxides of nitrogen emissions (NOx) by recirculating exhaust gas through the intake manifold and into the combustion chambers.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Diagram
The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by recirculating exhaust gas through the EGR pipe and the intake manifold, and into the combustion chambers. Routing the exhaust gas through the EGR pipe helps to prevent carbon deposits from forming in the intake manifold and the throttle body. The PCM memory includes the ideal EGR valve position for varying operating conditions.
The EGR valve position sensor detects the amount of EGR valve lift and sends it to the PCM. the PCM then compares it with the ideal lift in its memory (based on signals sent from other sensors). If there is any difference between the two, the PCM adjusts the current to the EGR valve.
Scheme 56
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) System
The PCV valve prevents blow-by gasses from escaping into the atmosphere by venting them into the intake manifold.
Scheme 57
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System
Refer to the system diagram to see a functional layout of the system.
EVAP Canister
The EVAP canister temporarily stores fuel vapor from the fuel tank until it can be purged from the EVAP canister into the engine and burned.
EVAP Canister Purge Valve
When the engine coolant temperature is below 140 °F (60 °C), the PCM turns off the EVAP canister purge valve which cuts purging of the EVAP canister.
Scheme 58
Fuel Tank Pressure (FTP) Sensor
The FTP sensor converts fuel tank absolute pressure into an electrical input to the PCM.
Scheme 59
EVAP Canister Vent Shut Valve
The EVAP canister vent shut valve is on the EVAP canister.
The EVAP canister vent shut valve controls the venting of the EVAP canister.
Scheme 60
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control Diagram
The EVAP controls minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. Vapor from the fuel tank is temporarily stored in the EVAP canister until it can be purged from the canister into the engine and burned.
Scheme 61
- The EVAP canister is purged by drawing fresh air through it and into a port on the intake manifold. The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP canister purge valve, which operates whenever engine coolant temperature is above 140 °F (60 °C).
- During refueling, the fuel tank vapor control valve opens from pressure in the fuel tank, and feeds the fuel vapor to the EVAP canister.
Fuel Cap Warning Message
The PCM detects a loose or missing fuel fill cap as an evaporative system leak and alerts the driver by showing a warning message in the gauge display.
The first time a leak is detected, a CHECK FUEL CAP message appears in the gauge display (A). To scroll to another message, press the select/reset button. The CHECK FUEL CAP message appears each time you restart the engine until the system turns the message off. Turn the engine off, then replace or tighten the fuel fill cap until clicks at least once.
Scheme 62
To make the message go off (with the HDS)
- Tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks.
- Clear the Pending DTC with the HDS.
- Verify there is no leak by doing the EVAP FUNCTION TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.
To make the message go off (without the HDS)
- Tighten the fuel fill cap until it clicks.
- Start the engine, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (O).
- Repeat step 2 two more times.
The vehicle has certain readiness codes that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the emissions systems. If the vehicle's battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if DTCs have been cleared, or if the PCM has been reset, these readiness codes are reset to incomplete. In some states, part of the emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to complete, the vehicle may fail the emission test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete, turn the ignition switch to ON (II), but do not start the engine. The MIL comes on for 15-20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are set to complete. If it flashes five times, one or more readiness codes are not set to complete. To set readiness codes from incomplete to complete, do the procedure for the appropriate code.
To check the status of a specific DTC system, check the OBD status in the DTC MENU with the HDS (see OBD STATUS ). This screen displays the DTC, the current data list of the enable criteria, and the status of the readiness testing.
Catalytic Converter Monitor and Readiness Code
Note. During the procedure, do not turn the ignition switch to ACC (I) or LOCK (0). All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if DTCs have been cleared, or if the PCM is reset with the HDS. Low ambient temperatures or excessive stop-and-go traffic may increase the drive time needed to switch the readiness code from incomplete to complete. The readiness code will not switch to complete until all the enable criteria are met. If a fault in the secondary HO2S system caused the MIL to come on, the readiness code cannot be set to complete until you correct the fault.
Enable Criteria
- ECT SENSOR 1 at 158 °F (70 °C) or more.
- IAT SENSOR at 20 °F (-7 °C) or more.
- Vehicle speed above 25 mph (40 km/h).

Note. All readiness codes are cleared when the battery is disconnected, if DTCs have been cleared, or if the PCM is reset with the HDS.
- Start the engine, and let it idle for 1 minute. The readiness code should switch from incomplete to complete.
- If the readiness code is still not set to complete, check for a Pending DTC. If there is no DTC, repeat the procedure.
Misfire Monitor and Readiness Code
- This readiness code is always set to available because misfiring is continuously monitored.
- Monitoring pauses, and the misfire counter resets, if the vehicle is driven over a rough road.
- Monitoring also pauses, and the misfire counter holds at its current value, if the throttle position changes more than a predetermined value, or if driving conditions fall outside the range of any related enable criteria.
