How to Check for DTCs with the Honda PGM Tester or an OBD Scan Tool (KE and KG Models) When the PCM senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the indicator light in the gauge assembly will blink. When the 16P Data Link Connector (DLC) (located under the dash behind the centre console) is connected to the OBD Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester as shown, it will indicate the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) when the ignition switch is turned ON (II). NOTE: The illustration shows LHD model; RHD is symmetrical.

If the indicator light or MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) has been reported on, or if a driveability problem is suspected, follow this procedure. Connect the OBD Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester to the 16P DLC. (See the OBD Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester user's manual for specific instructions. If you are using the Honda PGM Tester, make sure it is to the SAE DTC type.) Turn the ignition switch ON (II) and observe the DTC on the screen. Record all fuel and emission DTCs, A/T DTCs and freeze data. If there is a fuel and emissions DTC, first check the fuel and emissions system as indicated by the DTC (except for DTC P0700. DTC P0700 means there is one or more A/T DTCs and no problems were detected in the fuel and emissions circuit of the PCM.) Write down the radio station presets. Reset the memory with the PGM Tester or by removing the No. 6 ECU (PCM) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than 10 seconds. Drive the vehicle for several minutes under the same conditions as those indicated by the freeze data and then recheck for DTC. If the A/T DTC returns, go to the DTC Troubleshooting Index. If the DTC does not return, there was an intermittent problem within the circuit. Make sure all pins and terminals in the circuit are tight and then go to step 8. Reset the radio preset stations and set the clock.
