NO - Go to step 23.
23. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0010 in the DTCs MENU with the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS.
Does the screen indicate PASSED?
YES - Troubleshooting is complete.
NO - If the screen indicates FAILED, go to step 1 and recheck. If the screen indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 20 and recheck.
24. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
25. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm with no load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
26. Test-drive at a steady speed between 19 - 38 mph (30 - 60 km/h) for 10 minutes.
27. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs in the DTCs MENU with the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS.
Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?
YES - If DTC P0010 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the VTC oil control solenoid valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC troubleshooting.
NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM.
