PGM Tester Or OBD-II Scan Tool
Turn ignition off. Connect Honda PGM Tester or OBD-II scan tool to 16-pin Data Link Connector (DLC). On Accord and Civic, DLC is located under instrument panel, near driver-side kick panel. On CR-V, Oasis and Odyssey, DLC is located behind right side of center console. On Prelude, DLC is located behind access cover on right side of center console.
On all models, turn ignition on. If using Honda PGM Tester, follow tester prompts. Diagnostic trouble code testing is not needed. If using OBD-II scan tool, check for and record any DTCs displayed. If using either method, check for and record Freeze Frame Data, current data and any other PCM data. For scan tool operation, refer to manufacturer's instructions. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION below and/or proceed to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE IDENTIFICATION and CIRCUIT TESTS in appropriate TESTS W/CODES article
- For Civic see TESTS W/CODES - TESTS article.
- For CR-V see TESTS W/CODES - TESTS article.
- For Odyssey or Isuzu Oasis see «TESTS W/CODES - TESTS»(ref-16349) article.
- For Prelude see TESTS W/CODES - TESTS article.
| CAUTION | DO NOT attempt any connection to 3-pin Data Link Connector (DLC) located near 2-pin service check connector. |
TEST EQUIPMENT
All voltage tests should be performed with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless specifically stated differently in testing procedure. When instructed to use a jumper wire, ensure an in-line 5-amp fuse is included.
Use 2 Backprobe Sets (07SAZ-001000A ) to probe Powertrain Control Module (PCM) connectors when directed by troubleshooting procedures. (Scheme 18) For PCM connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION. DO NOT puncture wire insulation.
Engine compartment connectors are sealed on wire side of connector. Backprobing engine compartment connectors can cause damage to connector seals and possible connector terminal failure. To test wires, disconnect specified connector and touch tester probe to specified connector terminal. Inserting probe into connector terminal will damage terminal.
