How to Clear ABS DTCs





1. Connect the Honda PGM Tester (A) to the 16P Data Link Connector (B) located behind of the driver's kick panel with the ignition switch OFF.
2. Select "SCS" on the display of the Honda PGM Tester, then push "YES" at the "SERVICE CHECK SIGNAL" mode.
3. Press the brake pedal.
4. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) while keeping the brake pedal pressed.
5. After the ABS indicator goes off, release the brake pedal.
6. After the ABS indicator comes on, press the brake pedal again.





7. After the ABS indicator goes off, release the brake pedal again.
You cannot clear the DTC unless these conditions are met:
- Vehicle speed is 6 mph (10 km/h) or less.
- SCS circuit is shorted to body ground before the ignition switch is turned ON (II).
- The brake pedal is pressed before the ignition switch is turned ON (II).
8. After a few seconds, the ABS indicator blinks twice and the DTC is cleared. If the indicator does not blink twice, repeat steps 1 through 7. If the indicator stays on after the indicator blinks twice, check the DTC because a problem was detected during initial diagnosis before shifting to MES mode.
9. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
10. Press "EXIT" on the Honda PGM Tester.
11. Disconnect the Honda PGM Tester from the 16P Data Link Connector.
