How to Read Flowcharts
A flowchart is designed to be used from start to final repair. lt's like a map showing you the shone$ distance. But beware:if you go off the "map" anywhere but a "stop" symbol, you can easily get lost.

NOTE:
. The term "lntermittent Failure" is used in these chans. lt simply means a system may have had a failure, but it checksout OK at this time. lf the Malfunction lndicator Lamp (MlL) on the dash does not come on, check for poor connectionsor loose wires at all connectors related to the circuit that you are troubleshooting (see illustration below).. Most of the troubleshooting flowcharts have you reset the Engine Control Module (ECM) and try to duplicate theDiagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). lf the problem is intermittent and you can't duplicate the code, do not continue throughthe flowchart. To do so will only result in confusion and, possibly, a needlessly replaced ECM.. "Open" and "Short" are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wire or at a connection. A short is an acci-dental connection of a wire to ground or to another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means something won,twork at all. In complex electronics (like ECM's), this can sometimes mean something works, but not the way rr s sup-posed 10.

Troubleshooting Procedures
Checking the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
with an OBD ll Scan Tool or th€ Honda PGM Tester
When the TCM senses an abnormality in the input or output systems, the lD,] indicator light in the gauge assembly will
blink. When the 16p Data Link Connector (DLC) (located under the dash on the passenger side) is connected to the OBD ll
Scan Tool or Honda PGM Taster as shown, the scan tool or tester will indicate the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) when
the ignition switch is turned ON {ll}.
When the !r indicator light has been reported on, connect the OBD ll Scan Tool confirming to SAE J1978 or Honda PGM
Tester to the DLC (16P) behind the ashtray. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll) and observe the DTC on the screen ofthe OBD
ll Scan Tool or Honda PGM Tester. After determining the DTC, refer to the electrical system Symptom-to-Component
Chart on pages 14-54 and 14-55.
NOTE: SeetheOBDll ScanTool orHonda PGM Tester user's manual for specific instructions.
OBD-IlSCAN TOOL orHONDA PGM TESTER
Some PGM-Fl problems will also make the lol indicator light come on. After repairing the PGM-Fl system. disconnect the
BACK Up fuse (7.5 A) in the under-hood fuse/relay box for more than 10 seconds to reset the TCM memory, then recheck.
NOTE: Disconnecting the BACK UP fuse also cancels the radio anti-theft code, preset stations and the clock setting. Get
the customer's code number, and make note of the radio presets before removing the fuse so you can reset them

Then turn ON (ll) the ignition switch and observe the E indicator light.Codes 1 through 9 are indicated by individual short blinks. Codes 1O and above are indicated by a series of long and shortblinks. One long blink equals 10 short blinks. Add the long and short blinks together to determine the code. After deter-mining the code, refer to the electrical system Symptom-to-Component Chart on pages 14-S4 and 55.
