ECM/PCM Data
By connecting the OBD ll scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P data link connector (OLC), various data can be
retrieved from the ECM/PCM. The items listed in the table below conform to the SAE recommended practice
The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended by SAE.
understanding this data will help to find the causes of intermittent failures or engine problems.
NOTE:
The ',operating values" given below are approximate values and may be different depending on the environment and
the individual vehicle.
Unless noted otherwise. "at idle speed" means idling with the engine completely warmed up, transmission in position
Park or neutral and the A,./C and all accessories turned otf.

Diagnostic
Trouble Code
(DTC)
lf the ECM/PCM detects a problem, it will store it as a
code consisting of one letter and tour numbers
Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code (Poxxx)
or a Honda-defined code (P'lxxx) will be output to the
tester.
lf no problem is detected,
there is no output.
YES
Engine SpeedThe ECN4/PCN4 computes engine speed from the signals
sent from the Crankshaft Position sensor.
This data is used for determining the time and amount of
fuel iniection.

Engine Coolant
Temperature
{ECT)
The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into volt-
age and signals the ECM/PCM. The sensor is a thermistor
whose internal resistance changes with coolant tempera-
ture. The ECM/PCM uses the voltage signals from the
ECT sensor to determine the amount of injected fuel

Heated Oxygen
Sensor (HO25)
(Primary,
Sensor 1)
(Secondary
Sensor 2)
The Heated Oxygen Sensor detects the oxygen content in
the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals to the
ECMiPCM. Based on these signals, the ECM/PCM controls
the airlfuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high (that is.
when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio), the
voltage signal is lower.
When the orygen content is low (that is, when the ratio
is richer than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal
is higher.

Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (Sensor 1)
The Heated Oxygen Sensors (HO2S) detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and signal the ECM/PCM. In operation,
the ECM/PCM receives the signals from the sensor and varies the duration during which fuel is iniected. To stabilize the
sensor's output, the sensor has an internal heater. The Primary HO2S (Sensor 1) is installed in exhaust pipe A.
