'07-08 models

  1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  2. Do the gauge self-diagnostic function (see SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ).

    Does the MIL indicator flash? 

    YES  -Go to step 3.

    NO  -Substitute a known-good gauge control module, and recheck. If the MIL circuit is OK, replace the original gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).

  3. Connect the HDS to the DLC (see HOW TO USE THE HDS (HONDA DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM) ).
  4. Check the SCS in the DATA LIST with the HDS.

    Is a short indicated? 

    YES  -Go to step 5.

    NO  -Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see '06-08 MODELS  ).

  5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  6. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P), then disconnect the HDS.
  7. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal E29 and body ground.

    Is there continuity? 

    YES  -Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A31) and the SRS unit or the DLC.

    NO  -Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see '06-08 MODELS  ).
