How To Begin Troubleshooting
When the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) has been reported on, or there is a driveability problem, use the appropr'-
ate orocedure below to diagnose and repair the problem'
A. When the MIL has come on:
,1. connect the Honda PGM Tester or an oBD ll scan tool to the 16P Data Link connector (DLC) located near the left
kick panel.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (ll)
3. Check the DTC and note it. Also check and note
the freeze trame data
Refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart and
begin troubleshooting.

lf the inspection for a particular code requires voltage or resistance checks at the ECM/PCM connectors, remove the right
kick panel. Pull the carpet back to expose the ECM/PCM. Remove the ABS control unit if so equipped. unbolt the EcM/
PCM bolt. Turn the ignition switch oFF, and connect the backprobe sets and a digital multimeter as described below
check the system according to the procedure described for the appropriate code(s) listed on the following pages'
The illustrationshows '96 - '98 models.
How to Use lhe Backprobe Sets
connect the backprobe adapters to the stacking patch cords, and connect the cords to a multimeter. using the wire insula-
tion as a guide for the contoured trp of the backprobe adapter. gently slide the tip into the connector from the wire side
until it comes in contact with terminal end of the wire'
