System Description
The vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system that will disable the vehicle unless the proper ignition key is used.This system consists of a transponder located in the ignition key, an immobilizer control unit-receiver, an indicatorlight, and the ECM.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch and turned to the ON {ll) position, the immobilizer control unit-receiversends power to the transponder in the ignition key. The transponder then sends a coded signal back to the immobilizer
control unit-receiver which then sends a coded signal to the ECI\4.

lf the proper key has been used, the immobilizer indicator light will come on for about 2 seconds, then go off.lf the wrong key has been used or the code was not received or recognized by the unit, the indicator light will comeon for about 2 seconds, then it will blink until the ignition switch is turned OFF.lf the ignition switch is turned OFF, the indicator will blink for about 5 seconds to signal that the unit has reset
correctly, then the indicator will go off.
lf the customer has lost his key, and cannot start the engine, contact Honda Customer Relations.

Troubleshooting
Before troubleshooting the immobilizer system,
troubleshoot any EClvl Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCS)
(see page 11-3), and make sure the ECM has no
malfunction.
Note these items before trou bleshooting:
. Due to the action of the immobilizer system, the
engine takes slightly more time to start than on a
vehicle without an immobilizer system.. When the system is normal, and the proper key is
inserted, the indicator light comes on for 2 seconds,
then it will go off.. If the indicatorstartsto blink after 2 seconds, or if the
engine does not start. remove any other immobilizer
keys or large key fobs on the key ring, then repeat the
starting procedure.
lf the engine still does not start, continue with thisprocedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON {ll) with proper key.
2. Check to see if the immobilizer indicator light
comes on.
Does the indicator light blink?
YES Disconnect the 7P connector from the
immobilizer control unit-receiver, then go to step 9.
NO Check for these problems, then go to step 3.

Precautions and Procedures
General Precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully beforeperforming airbag system service. Observe theinstructions described in this manual. or the airbags
could accidentally deploy and cause damage or injuries.
. Except when performing electrical inspections.
always turn the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the
negative cable from the battery, and wait at least 3minutes before beginning work.
NOTE: The memory is not erased even if the ignition
switch is turned OFF or the battery cables are
disconnected from the battery.. Use replacement pans which are manufactured to the
same standards and quality as the original parts. Do
not install used SRS parts from another vehicle. Useonly new pans when making SRS repairs.. Carefully inspect any SRS part before you install it.
Do not install any part that shows signs of being
dropped or improperly handled, such as dents, cracks,
or deformation.
. Before removing any SRS parts (including the
disconnection of connectors), always disconnect the
SRS connector.. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. lf itis not a Honda multimeter, make sure its outout is 10mA (0.01A) or less when switched to the lowest value
in the ohmmeter range. A tester with a higher output
could cause accidental deployment and possible
injury.. Do not put objects on the front passenger's airbag.. The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit.
Be sure to get the customer's radio code and write
down the frequencies for the radio's preset stations
before disconnecting the battery cable.. Before returning the vehicle to the customer, enter
the radio code. then enter the customer's radio
station presets, and set the clock. Do the engine
control module (ECM) idle learn procedure (see page
11-139).

Steering-related Plecautions
Cable Reel Alignment
. Misalignment of the cable reel could cause an open in
the wiring, making the SRS system and the horns
inoperative. Center the cable reel whenever the
following is performed (see step 6 on page 23-121).
- Installation of the steering wheel- Installation of the cable reel- Installation ofthe steering column- Other steering-related adjustment or installation
. Do not disassemble the cable reel.
. Do not apply grease to the cable reel.
. lf the cable reel shows any signs of damage or
contamination. replace it with a new one. For
example, it does not rotate smoothly.

General Troubleshooting Information
DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Codesl
The self-diagnostic function of the SRS system allows it
to locate the causes of system problems and then store
this information in memory. For easier troubleshooting,
this data can be retrieved via a data link circuit.
. When you turn the ignition switch ON (ll), the SRS
indicator will come on. lf it goes off after 6 seconds,
the system is normal.. lf there is an abnormality, the svstem locates and
defines the problem, stores this information in
memory, and turns the SRS indicator on. The data
will remain in the memory even when the ignition
switch is turned off or if the battery is disconnected.. When you connect the Honda PG lM Tester to the 16P
data link connector (DLC)to short the SCS terminal,
and turn the ignition switch ON (ll). the SRS indicator
will indicate the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) by the
number of blinks.. When you connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P
data link Connector (DLC), you can retrieve the DTC in
the Honda Systems "SRS" menu.. After reading and recording the DTC, proceed with
the troubleshooting procedure for th is code.
Precautions. Use only a digital multimeter to check the system. lf
it's not a Honda multimeter, make sure its output is
10 mA (0.01A) or less when switched to the smallest
value in the ohmmeter range, A tester with a higher
output could damage the airbag circuit or cause
accidental airbag deployment and possible injury.. Whenever the ignition switch is ON (ll), or has been
turned OFF for less than 3 minutes, be careful not to
bump the SRS uniU the airbags could accidentally
deploy and cause damage or injuries.. Before you remove the SRS harness, disconnect the
driver's airbag connector. the front passenger's
airbag connector, both side airbag connectors, both
seat belt buckle tensioner connectors, and both seat
belt tensioner connectors.. Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged. lf the
battery is dead or low, measuring values won't be
correct.. Do not touch a tester probe to the terminals in the
SRS unit or harness connectors, and do not connect
the terminals with a jumper wire. Use only the
backprobe set and the Honda PGM Tester. Backprobe
spring loaded lock type connectors correctly.
Reading the DTC
When the SRS indicator is on, read the DTC using either
of the following methods:
PGM Tester "SRS" Menu Method:
Connect the Honda PGM Tester {A) to the 16P data link
connector {DLC)(B), and follow the Tester's Drompts in
the "SRS" menu.
lf the Tester indicates no DTC, no communication. DTC
3-6 to 3-'10, DTC 4-6 to 4-10, DTC 9-1, or DTC 9-2,
double-check by using the "SCS" menu method.

PGM Tester "SCS" Menu Method {retrieving the flash
codes):
The SRS indicator (A) indicates the DTC by lhe number
of blinks when the Honda PGM Tester (B) is connected
to the DLC (data link connector) ( 16P) (1).
'1. Make sure the ionition switch is OFF.
2. Connect the Honda PGN4 Tester (B) to the DLC (C),
and follow the Tester's oromDts in the "SCS" menu
to ground the SCS line (see the Honda PGM Tester
ODerator's Manual).
Make sure the SCS line is grounded, then turn the
ignition switch ON (ll). The SRS indicator comes on
for about 6 seconds, and then goes off. Then it will
blink to indicate the DTC (see the table below).
Read the DTC.
Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait for 10
seconds.

Including the most recent problem, up to three different DTCS can be indicated (see example 1 below).ln case of a continuous failure, the DTC will be indicated repeatedly {see example 1 below).In case of an intermittent failure, the SRS indicator will indicate the DTCS one time, then it will stay on (see example2 below).
lf both a continuous and an intermittent failure occur, both DTCS will be indicated as continuous failures.When the system is normal (no DTCS), the SRS indicator will stay on (see example 3).lf the SRS indicator comes on continuously without a DTC, there mav be a problem with the svstem.lf the SRS indicator does not come on as indicated above, always check for an open or a short to ground in the SCScircuit before troubleshooting the system.
