Component Tests and General Diagnostics
How to Troubleshoot Circuits at the PCMSpecial Tools Required
- Digital multimeter KS-AHM-32-003 (1) or a commercially available digital multimeter
- Pin probe (male) 07ZAJ-RDJA110 (two required)
- Flat spade probe (male) 07ZAJ-RDJA120
1. With the ignition switch ON (II), connect the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS to the data link connector (DLC), and go to into any of the live data screens.
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the Honda PGM Tester OFF or close the HDS and then back ON. Go to the SCS mode and follow the screens to ground the 16P DLC.
NOTE: Steps 1 through 3 must be done to protect the powertrain control module (PCM) from damage, or wait at least 60 minutes before disconnecting.
4. Disconnect PCM connectors and probe the connector terminals from the terminal side of the connector. Make sure the connector terminal diameter, and select the suitable pin probe (male) and/or flat spade probe (male).
5. Connect the patch cord (A) terminals to the digital multimeter (B), and connect another terminals of the patch cords to the pin probe (male) and/or flat spade probe (male).
6. Gently slide the probe into the connector terminals from the terminals side. Do not force the tips into the terminals.
