Service Check Signal (SCS) Circuit Method
With the ignition switch off, connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16-Pin Data Link Connector under ashtray. Short the SCS circuit-to-body ground using the Honda PGM Tester. Turn the ignition switch ON without pressing the brake pedal.
NOTE:
If you press the brake pedal when turning the ignition switch ON, the system shifts to the DTC clearing mode.
The blinking frequency indicates the DTC. DTCs are indicated by a series of long and short blinks. See Fig 1 . After determining the DTC, perform appropriate test under DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. See Figure for DTC index.
NOTE:
If the DTC is not memorized, the ABS or TCS indicator will go off for 3.5 seconds, and then come back on.
The system will not indicate the DTC unless these conditions are met:
- The brake pedal is not pressed.
- The TCS switch is not pushed.
- The ignition switch is turned ON.
- The engine is stopped.
- The SCS circuit is shorted to body ground before the ignition switch is turned ON.
Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the Honda PGM Tester from the DLC.
