Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 11.
NO - Go to step 24.
11. Jump the SCS line with the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS.
12. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (24P).
13. Check for continuity between EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector terminal No.2 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the EVAP canister purge valve and the ECM/PCM (B21), then go to step 25.
NO - Go to step 32.
14. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
15. Disconnect the EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector.
16. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
17. Measure voltage between EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector terminal No.1 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 18.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the EVAP canister purge valve and the No.4 ACG (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box, then go to step 26.
18. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
19. Jump the SCS line with the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS.
20. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (24P).
21. Connect EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector terminal No.2 to body ground with a jumper wire.
22. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal 821 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 23.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the EVAP canister purge valve and the ECM/PCM (B21), then go to step 25.
23. Measure resistance between EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector terminals No.1 and No.2.
Is there about 33 Ohms at room temperature?
YES - Go to step 32.
NO - Go to step 24.
24. Replace the EVAP canister purge valve.
25. Reconnect ECM/PCM connector B (24P).
26. Reconnect the EVAP canister purge valve 2P connector.
27. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
28. Do the ECM/PCM RESET in the CLEAR MENU with the Honda PGM Tester or the HDS.
29. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.
30. 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.
31. 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 P0443 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister purge 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 - Troubleshooting is complete.
32. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.
33. 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.
34. 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 P0443 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EVAP canister purge 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.
