General information
- Engine control module (ECM) incorporates self-diagnosis function.
- Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will illuminate if certain faults are recorded.
- ECM operates in backup mode if sensors fail, to enable vehicle to be driven to workshop.
- Trouble codes can be displayed by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC) 1 [1] or by the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with the service check connector jumped [1] [2].
NOTE: The use of a Scan Tool is essential to obtain full diagnostic information.
Accessing
- Ensure ignition switched OFF.
- Jump service check connector terminals 1 [2].
- Switch ignition ON.
- Check MIL is flashing.
- Trouble codes 1-9 are indicated as follows:
o Individual short flashes display trouble code [2] [A].o A short pause separates each flash [2] [B].o A long pause separates each trouble code [2] [C].o For example: Trouble code 3 displayed [2].
- Trouble codes greater than 9 are indicated as follows:
o Long flashes indicate the ‘tens’ of the trouble code [3] [A].o Short flashes indicate the ‘units’ of the trouble code [3] [C].o A short pause separates each flash [3] [B].o A long pause separates each trouble code [3] [D].o For example: Trouble code 12 displayed [3].
- Count MIL flashes and compare with trouble code table.
NOTE: If a trouble code is displayed but not listed in the trouble code table, suspect engine control module (ECM) fault.
- Switch ignition OFF.
- Remove jump lead
Erasing
- After the faults have been rectified, trouble codes can be erased by using a Scan Tool connected to the data link connector (DLC) [1] (1) or as follows:
- Switch ignition OFF.
- Civic: Remove radio fuse (7.5A) from underhood fusebox for 10 seconds minimum [4].
- Civic del Sol: Remove radio fuse (7.5A) from underhood fusebox for 10 seconds minimum [5].
- Reinstall fuse.
- Repeat checking procedure to ensure no data remains in ECM fault memory.
