How To Check For DTCs With the HDS
Note. There are three methods used to check for DTCs. The recommended method is to use the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) with the appropriate software, plugged into the data link connector (DLC), then go to B-CAN system diagnostic test mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ). The second method is to run the self-diagnostic function built into the climate control unit. The third method is to use the B-CAN system diagnostic test mode land mode 2 without the HDS (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE 1 AND TEST MODE 2 (WITHOUT THE HDS) ).
Scheme 15
- Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
- 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 vehicle and the MICU. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit, (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-333558-S02093989162009072100000) )
- Select HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL in the BODY ELECTRICAL menu.
- Select DTCs in the HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL menu.
- Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, write down the DTCs, then go to B-CAN system diagnostic test mode A (see «TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A»(ref-333611-S24721524652009072100000) ). If no DTCs are indicated, refer to symptom troubleshooting.
Note. After troubleshooting, clear the DTCs with the HDS. For specific operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the HDS.
How To Use the HDS To Check For DTCs
Note. This method is only available if the HDS can communication with the MICU. If there is a communication problem with the HDS, go to B-CAN system diagnostic test mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
- Make sure the ignition switch is in LOCK (0).
- Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the MICU. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit, (see «DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-333558-S02093989162009072100000) )
- Select HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL in the BODY ELECTRICAL menu.
- Select INSPECTION in the HVAC/CLIMATE CONTROL menu.
- Select CLIMATE CONTROL SELF TEST in the INSPECTION menu.
- Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, write down the DTCs, then go to the indicated DTC troubleshooting.
Note. After troubleshooting, clear the DTCs with the HDS. For specific operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the HDS.
The climate control unit has a self-diagnostic function. To run the self-diagnostic function, do the following
Scheme 16
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and then ON (II).
- Press and hold the FAN ON/OFF button, then press the REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER button five times within 10 seconds. Release the FAN ON/OFF and REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER buttons; then the self-diagnostic begins. NOTE: The blower motor should run at various speeds regardless of what the panel is displaying. If there is any problem in the system, the system flashes "88 AUTO WINDSHIELD DEFROST" or alternately flashes "88 AUTO WINDSHIELD DEFROST" and one or more of the 14 segments (A through P). Refer to checking for DTCs. If there are no problems detected, the segments will not illuminate, and the system will appear to be turned off. Canceling the Self-diagnostic Function
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), to cancel the self-diagnostic function. After completing the repair work, run the self-diagnostic function again to make sure that there are no other DTCs.
Checking for DTCs
The temperature display indicates single or multiple DTCs. If indicator segments A, B, C, E, G, J, M, N, AUTO, and WINDSHIELD DEFROST are on at the same time, there may be an open in the common ground wire. If no DTCs are present, the indicator remains blank.

Scheme 17
The climate control unit has a mode that displays sensor inputs it receives. This mode shows you what the climate control unit is receiving from each of the sensors, one at a time, and it can help you determine if a sensor is faulty.
Check These Items Before Using the Sensor Input Display Mode
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check the recirculation door function; press the recirculation button to switch from FRESH to RECIRC. The air volume and sound should change slightly.
- Set the temperature control button to the desired test temperature. When selecting the test temperature, note these items: "Lo" temperature setting will default to MAX COOL, VENT, and RECIRC. "Hi" temperature setting will default to MAX HOT, FLOOR, and FRESH. 14 through 30°C settings will use the automatic climate control logic.
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
To Run the Sensor Input Display Mode, Follow These Steps
- Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
- Press and hold both the AUTO and RECIRCULATION CONTROL buttons, then start the engine.
- After the engine starts, release both buttons. The display panel control unit will flash the sensor number and then the value for that sensor. Record the value displayed.
- To advance to the next sensor, press the REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER button.

Check for DTCs using the HDS, or refer to checking DTCs by DTC indication. If necessary, compare the sensor input display to a known-good vehicle under the same test conditions. If the sensor is out of the normal range, refer to the sensor test or substitute a known-good sensor, and recheck.
- To cancel the sensor input display mode, press the AUTO button or turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

Humidity/In-Car Temperature Sensor
The humidity sensor consists of two sensors. One sensor is for humidity detection, and the other is for in-car temperature detection. When the climate control unit receives signals about the in-car condition from the humidity sensor, and judges that the humidity in the vehicle is very low, the climate control unit reduces the compressor run-time. Engine power loss is kept to a minimum, and fuel economy is increased.
Scheme 18
Humidity/In-Car Temperature Sensor Quality
The capacitance of the humidity sensor changes by the adsorption and the evaporation of moisture. The resistance change of the humidity sensor changes the output voltage.
Scheme 19
A/C Pressure Sensor
The A/C pressure sensor converts A/C pressure into electrical signals to the PCM.
Note. The pressures can be monitored using the HDS PGM-FI Data List.
Scheme 20
The response of the A/C pressure sensor is shown in the graph below.
Note. When the refrigerant is below 196 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm 2 , 28 psi) or above 3,140 kPa (32 kgf/cm 2 , 455 psi), the PCM turns the compressor relay off to protect the A/C compressor.
Scheme 21
Scheme 22
Scheme 23
Scheme 24
Scheme 25
The i-Dual zone climate control system automatically controls the temperature and the vent mode of the air direction to the driver's and passenger's side, depending on the angle of the sun, and the direction of the vehicle. It calculates information such as date, time, longitude, and latitude from the navigation system, as well as the radiant strength of the sun from the sunlight sensor, to determine the appropriate mode position and temperature to be directed to each side. The i-Tri zone climate control system is an addition of the automatic controls with the temperature and the vent mode of the air direction to the rear section to the i-Dual zone climate control system.
Scheme 26
In the event that the navigation system malfunctions, or when driving in areas where the navigation system cannot determine the vehicle position (non-coverage areas, tunnels, etc.), the climate control system will operate the same as a vehicle without a navigation system.
