INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.

— Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a 10-mega
ohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that

contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you’re using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
«OHMS» range.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end.

Crankshaft Main Bearing: Service and Repair

Crankshaft Main Bearing Replacement
Main Bearing Clearance Inspection
1. To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance, remove the bearing cap bridge and bearing
halves. 2. Clean each main journal and bearing half with a clean shop towel. 3. Place one strip of
plastigage across each main journal. 4. Reinstall the bearings and bearing cap bridge, then torque
the bolts to 25 Nm (2.5 kgf-m, 18 lbf-ft) +40°.
NOTE: Do not rotate the crankshaft during inspection.
5. Remove the bearing cap bridge and bearings again, and measure the widest part of the
plastigage.
6. If the plastigage measures too wide or too narrow, remove the crankshaft, and remove the upper
half of the bearing. Install a new, complete
bearing with the same color code(s), and recheck the clearance. Do not file, shim, or scrape the
bearings or the caps to adjust clearance.
7. If the plastigage shows the clearance is still incorrect, try the next larger or smaller bearing (the
color listed above or below the current one), and
check again. If the proper clearance cannot be obtained by using the appropriate larger or smaller
bearings, replace the crankshaft and start over.
Main Bearing Selection
Crankshaft Bore Code Location
1. Letters have been stamped on the end of the block as a code for the size of each of the five
main journal bores. Write down the crank bore codes.
If you can’t read the codes because of accumulated dirt and dust, do not scrub them with a wire
brush or scraper. Clean them only with solvent or detergent.

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

NOTE:
^ If another DTC is found, refer to ISIS or the appropriate service manual to troubleshoot that DTC
first.
^ The sensor number does not indicate the location of the faulty sensor.
3. Use the TPMS sensor tool and the HDS to determine the location of the faulty sensor. On the
HDS, go to the TPMS screen. Select Functional Test, then select Sensor Position Check. Follow
the onscreen instructions, then go to REPAIR PROCEDURE to replace the faulty sensor.
* NOTE:
For more information on using the TPMS sensor tool with the HDS, refer to Service Bulletin 06-072,
TPMS Sensor Tool Usage or training module SSC15, Initiator-less and Initiator Type TPMS.*
REPAIR PROCEDURE
Replace the faulty sensor:
^ Refer to the appropriate service manual, or
^ Online, enter keywords TIRE SENSOR, and select Tire Pressure Sensor Replacement from the
list.
This procedure also includes the tire pressure sensor ID learn procedure. Make sure to do this
procedure for all four sensors, even if you replace only one sensor.

13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fit of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

6. Test-drive the vehicle to make sure it no longer pulls. If the steering wheel is now off-center by
more than 2 mm, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE C.

7. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30′ = 0.50.
REPAIR PROCEDURE C
1. Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it stops.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and count the number of revolutions until it stops.
^ Divide the number of revolutions in half, and turn the steering wheel until it is centered. For
example, if it takes four revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, then two turns is
centered.
^ If the steering wheel is off-center by a large amount (20 mm or more), it may not be centered on
the steering column shaft. Reinstall the steering wheel before going to step 2.
2. Place the vehicle on a lift, turn the steering wheel until it is centered, and then raise the vehicle.
3. Adjust the tie-rods. Use your measurements from question 13 of the test-drive to make your
adjustment.

COMPONENT: Exterior Lighting: Headlights: High/Low Beam Dimmer Switch
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 143,083
SUMMARY: Honda is recalling model year 2007-2008 Honda Fit vehicles. Due to an error during
installation of the wiring harness for the combination switch that controls low head beam function,
the wires for the lower beam circuit were pulled tighter than intended. After repeated use of the
headlight switch, the electrical connector terminal for the low beam headlight circuit can become
worn as a result of this tension, which can result in low conductivity and cause an accumulation of
copper oxide in the area of the contacts.
CONSEQUENCE: The low beam headlights can become inoperative decreasing the driver’s
visibility as well as the vehicle’s visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the low beam terminal and perform necessary repairs free of
charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before January 21, 2011. Owners may contact
Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor
Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the three way
catalytic converter (TWC), and sends signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel
injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The ECM/PCM
compares the HO2S output with the A/F sensor output to determine catalyst efficiency. The
secondary HO2S is located on the TWC.

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

Description and Operation

Hose/Line HVAC: Description and Operation
System Description
The air conditioning system removes heat from the passenger compartment by circulating
refrigerant through the system as shown below.
This vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons. Pay
attention to the following service items:
— Do not mix refrigerants CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). They are not compatible.
— Use only the recommended polyalkyleneglycol (PAG) refrigerant oil (SP-10) designed for the
R-134a A/C compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other
refrigerant oil will result in A/C compressor failure.
— All A/C system parts (A/C compressor, discharge line, suction line, evaporator, A/C condenser,
receiver/dryer, expansion valve, O-rings for joints) have to be proper for refrigerant R-134a. Do not
confuse with R-12 parts.
— Use a halogen gas leak detector designed for refrigerant R-134a.

— R-12 and R-134a refrigerant servicing equipment are not interchangeable. Use only a
recovery/recycling/charging station for refrigerant R-134a to service R-134a air conditioning
system.
— Always recover the refrigerant R-134a with an approved recovery/recycling/charging station
before disconnecting any A/C fitting.
Oil Separator
Oil emission from the A/C compressor to the A/C line is reduced by placing the oil separator in the
A/C compressor. This results in a thinner oil film inside of the heat exchanger (A/C condenser and
evaporator). Air conditioning efficiency is increased without sacrificing engine performance.

Engine Oil Pressure: Testing and Inspection
Oil Pressure Test
If the low oil pressure indicator stays on with the engine running, check the engine oil level. If the oil
level is correct:
1. Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and install an oil pressure gauge (A).
2. Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge registers no oil pressure. Repair the
problem before continuing.
3. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (fan comes on at least twice). The pressure
should be:
Engine Oil Temperature: 176° F (80° C) Engine Oil Pressure: At Idle: 70 kPa (0.7 kgf/cm2, 10 psi)
min. At 3,000 rpm: 340 kPa (3.5 kgf/cm2, 50 psi) min.
4. If the oil pressure is NOT within specification, inspect these items.
^ Replace the oil filter.
^ Inspect the oil pressure relief valve.
^ Check the oil screen for clogging.
^ Inspect the pump.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

TPMS Indicator Reset

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Service and Repair TPMS Indicator Reset
System Indicator Locations
The system has two indicators. The low tire pressure indicator (A)
— The TPMS indicator (B)
How TPMS Works
The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) has a low tire pressure indicator, and a TPMS
indicator. When the TPMS control unit detects low pressure in a tire, or a problem in the system, it
turns on the appropriate indicator. If low tire pressure is detected in one or more tires, the low tire pressure indicator comes on.
— If a problem in the system is detected, the TPMS indicator comes on.
— If low tire pressure and a problem in the system are detected, only the TPMS indicator comes on.
If the system is OK, the TPMS indicator and the low tire pressure indicator should come on when
you turn the ignition switch ON (II), and then go off 2 seconds later. If they don’t, there is a problem
with the system.
If the system detects low pressure in any of the four tires, the low tire pressure indicator comes on,
and the control unit will sets one or more of these codes: DTC 11, 13, 15, 17. When the tire
pressure returns to normal, the control unit turns off the indicators and stores the DTC(s). However,
if the control unit detects a problem in the system during an indication of low tire pressure, it turns
off the low tire pressure indicator, stores the DTC(s), and turns on the TPMS indicator(s).
NOTE: Tire pressure increases slightly as the temperature in the tires rises during driving at
highway speeds. Pressure also increases or decreases slightly with changes in outside air
temperature. A temperature change of about 18°F (10°C) changes tire pressure by about 10 kPa

(0.1 kgf/cm2, 1.5 psi). If the temperature drops, tire pressure could decrease just enough to turn on
the low tire pressure indicator, but later, the tire temperature could increase enough to turn the
indicator off. To resolve a complaint of such intermittent indications, confirm and clear the stored
DTC(s) and check the tire pressures. Then explain to the customer how temperature changes can
affect the system, especially when tire pressures are near the low end of the TPMS normal range 175 to 220 kPa (11.8 to 2.2 kgf/cm2, 25 to 32 psi).
If a problem is detected in the system, the TPMS indicator comes on and stays on until the system
returns to normal with most DTCs. If DTC 81, 83, or 85 is set, the TPMS indicator goes off only
when the ignition switch is turned off.
When a flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the TPMS indicator comes on (DTC 32, 34, 36, or
38) because the system is no longer receiving the signal from the flat tire’s transmitter. This is not a
problem with the spare tire.

ID to the TPMS control unit.

NOTE:
^ If the sensor IDs appear without the TPMS sensor tool button being pushed, a TPMS sensor is
transmitting. Select the Exit button, wait 5 minutes for the sensors to go to sleep, then follow the
on-screen prompts.
^ If the sensor does not respond (no sensor IDs are displayed), rotate the tire one-quarter turn and
try again. If the TPMS sensor does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, switch the tire to a
known-good location and try again. If the TPMS sensor still does not respond after one full rotation
of the tire, replace the TPMS sensor.
18. When prompted, go to the right rear wheel, then select the Enter button.
19. The TPMS sensor ID learning procedure goes through the same steps as the left front wheel
(see steps 12 thru 15). When the timer starts (the blue bar appears), point and hold the TPMS
sensor tool 10 to 20 inches from the right rear wheel valve stem. Press and hold the large transmit
button for up to 1 minute. The button should flash red. The TPMS sensor tool sends a signal to the
TPMS sensor to turn on and broadcast the TPMS sensor ID to the TPMS control unit.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

12. Insert the PCB into the top half of the switch case, then reassemble the switch case, making
sure that all eight clips are secure. Reattach the main
switch button.
13. Using a dry paper towel, remove any oil or dust from the sides of the switch. Do not use water
or solvents.
14. Apply a protective skirt to the sides of the switch. NOTE: The skirt prevents moisture from
entering the switch by sealing the tab slots in the sides
of the switch case and by surrounding the switch with a moisture barrier.
^ Starting in the middle of the switch case, attach the skirt by firmly pressing its sealant onto the
case.
^ Continue applying the skirt around the entire case. To firmly attach the skirt sealant, press down
on the entire length of it with the flat side of a flat-tip screwdriver. Make sure there are no gaps
between the sealant and the case, especially in the corner areas.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

NOTE:
Each model is different. Turning on the TPMS sensor tool incorrectly could lead to incorrect
diagnosis and repair.
Once the TPMS sensor tool is turned on, select the YES button.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

Spark Plug Inspection
1. Remove the spark plugs and inspect the electrodes and the ceramic insulator.
— Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by:
— Advanced ignition timing
— Loose spark plug
— Plug heat range too hot
— Insufficient cooling
— Fouled plugs may be caused by:
— Retarded ignition timing
— Oil in combustion chamber
— Incorrect spark plug gap
— Plug heat range too cold
— Excessive idling/low speed running
— Clogged air cleaner element
— Deteriorated ignition coils
2. If the spark plug electrode is dirty or contaminated, clean the electrode with a plug cleaner.
NOTE: Do not use a wire brush or scrape the iridium electrode since this will damage the electrode.
— When using a sand blaster spark plug cleaner, do not clean for more than 20 seconds to avoid
damaging the electrode.
3. Do not adjust the gap (A) of iridium tip plugs; replace the spark plug if the gap is out of
specification.
4. Replace the plug at the specified interval, or when the center electrode is rounded (A). Use only
the listed spark plugs.

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

18. When prompted, go to the right rear wheel, then select the Enter button.

19. The TPMS sensor ID learning procedure goes through the same steps as the left front wheel
(see steps 12 thru 15). When the timer starts (the blue bar appears), point and hold the TPMS
sensor tool 10 to 20 inches from the right rear wheel valve stem. Press and hold the large transmit
button for up to 1 minute. The button should flash red. The TPMS sensor tool sends a signal to the
TPMS sensor to turn on and broadcast the TPMS sensor ID to the TPMS control unit.
NOTE:
^ If the sensor IDs appear without the TPMS sensor tool button being pushed, a TPMS sensor is
transmitting. Select the Exit button, wait 5 minutes for the sensor to go to sleep, then follow the
on-screen prompts.
^ If the sensor does not respond (no sensor IDs are displayed), rotate the tire one-quarter turn and
try again. If the TPMS sensor does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, switch the tire to a
known-good location and try again. If the TPMS sensor still does not respond after one full rotation
of the tire, replace the TPMS sensor.
20. When prompted, go to the right front wheel, then select the Enter button.
21. The TPMS sensor ID learning procedure goes through the same steps as the left front wheel
(see steps 12 thru 15). When the timer starts (the blue bar appears), point and hold the TPMS
sensor tool 10 to 20 inches from the right front wheel valve stem. Press and hold the large transmit
button for up to 1 minute. The button should flash red. The TPMS sensor tool sends a signal to the
TPMS sensor to turn on and broadcast the TPMS sensor ID to the TPMS control unit.
NOTE:
^ If the sensor IDs appear without the TPMS sensor tool button being pushed, a TPMS sensor is
transmitting. Select the Exit button, wait 5 minutes for the sensor to go to sleep, then follow the
on-screen prompts.
^ If the sensor does not respond (no sensor IDs are displayed), rotate the tire one-quarter turn and
try again. If the TPMS sensor does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, switch the tire to a
known-good location and try again. If the TPMS sensor still does not respond after one full rotation
of the tire, replace the TPMS sensor.

Valve Seat: Service and Repair

Valve Seat Reconditioning
1. Inspect valve stem-to-guide clearance. If the valve guides are worn, replace them before cutting
the valve seats. 2. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a valve seat cutter.
3. Carefully cut a 45° seat removing only enough material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
4. Bevel the upper and lower edges at the angles shown in the illustration.
Check the width of the seat and adjust accordingly.
5. Make one more very light pass with the 45° cutter to remove any possible burrs caused by the
other cutters.
Valve Seat Width Intake: Standard (New): 0.850-1.150 mm (0.0335-0.0453 in.) Service Limit: 1.60
mm (0.063 in.)
Exhaust: Standard (New): 1.250-1.550 mm (0.0492-0.0610 in.) Service Limit: 2.00 mm (0.079 in.)
6. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve seating: Apply Prussian Blue compound (A) to
the valve face. Insert the valve in its original
location in the head, then lift it and snap it closed against the seat several times.
7. The actual valve seating surface (B), as shown by the blue compound, should be centered on
the seat.

— Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a 10-mega
ohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that

contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you’re using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
«OHMS» range.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

Page 1973

2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.

EXAMPLE B:
1. Remove the secondary lock from the male terminal half.
2. Remove the secondary lock from the female terminal half.

How to Troubleshoot Circuits at the ECM/PCM
Special Tools Required
— Digital multimeter KS-AHM-32-003 (1) or a commercially available digital multimeter
— Backprobe set 07SAZ-001000A (2)
NOTE: The ECM/PCM overwrites data and monitors the EVAP system for up to about 30 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned OFF. Jumping the SCS line after turning the ignition switch OFF
cancels this function. Disconnecting the ECM/PCM during this function, without jumping the SCS
line first, can damage the ECM/PCM.
1. Connect the backprobe adapters (A) to the stacking patch cords (B), and connect the cords to a
digital multimeter (C).
2. Using the wire insulation as a guide for the contoured tip of the backprobe adapter, gently slide
the tip into the connector from the wire side until it
touches the end of the wire terminal.
3. If you cannot get to the wire side of the connector or the wire side is sealed (A), disconnect the
connector and probe the terminals (B) from the
terminal side. Do not force the probe into the connector.
NOTE: Do not puncture the insulation on a wire. Punctures can cause poor or intermittent electrical
connections.

14. Install the knuckle/hub in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
^ Be careful not to damage the ball joint boot when installing the knuckle.
^ Before connecting the lower ball joint to the knuckle, degrease the threaded section and tapered
portion of the ball joint pin, the lower arm connecting hole, the threaded section and mating surface
of the castle nut.
^ First install all the components and lightly tighten the bolts and nuts, then raise the suspension to
load it with the vehicle’s weight before fully tightening to the specified torque values.
^ Tighten all mounting hardware to the specified torque values.
^ Torque the castle nut to the lower torque specification, then tighten it only far enough to align the
slot with the ball joint pin hole. Do not align the castle nut by loosening it.
^ Use a new spindle nut on reassembly.
^ Before installing the spindle nut, apply a small amount of engine oil to the seating surface of the
nut. After tightening, use a drift to stake the spindle nut shoulder against the driveshaft.
^ Before installing the brake disc, clean the mating surface of the front hub and the inside of the
brake disc.
^ Before installing the wheel, clean the mating surface of the brake disc and the inside of the
wheel.
^ Check the wheel alignment, and adjust it if necessary.

Page 1012

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is

affecting the measurement.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the

vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

15. The TPMS sensor ID learning changes to the following screen once the procedure is complete.
Select the Enter button.
NOTE:
If the sensor does not respond (no sensor IDs are displayed), rotate the tire one-quarter turn and
try again. If the TPMS sensor does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, switch the tire to a
known-good location and try again. If the TPMS sensor still does not respond after one full rotation
of the tire, replace the TPMS sensor.
16. When prompted, go to the left rear wheel, then select the Enter button.
17. The TPMS sensor ID learning procedure goes through the same steps as the left front wheel
(see steps 12 thru 15). When the timer starts (the blue bar appears), point and hold the TPMS
sensor tool 10 to 20 inches from the left rear wheel valve stem. Press and hold the large transmit
button for up to 1 minute. The button should flash red. The TPMS sensor tool sends a signal to the
TPMS sensor to turn on and broadcast the TPMS sensor

Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

33. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal E11 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES — Go to step 34.
NO — Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (E11) and DLC terminal No. 6.1
34. Disconnect the jumper wire. 35. Connect DLC terminal No. 14 to body ground with a jumper
wire.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Alignment: Service and Repair
Wheel Alignment
The suspension can be adjusted for front camber and front toe. However, each of these
adjustments are related to each other. For example, when you adjust camber, the toe will change.
Therefore, you must adjust the front wheel alignment whenever you adjust camber or toe.
Pre-Alignment Checks
For proper inspection and adjustment of the wheel alignment, do these checks:
1. Release the parking brake to avoid an incorrect measurement. 2. Make sure the suspension is
not modified. 3. Check the tire size and tire pressure.
Tire size:
Front/Rear:
Except Sport models: P175/65R14 81S Sport model: P195/55R15 84H
Tire Pressure (at cold):
Front/Rear: 220 kPa (2.2 kgf/cm2, 32 psi)
4. Check the runout of the wheels and tires. 5. Check the suspension ball joints. (Hold a tire with
your hands, and move it up and down and right and left to check for wobbling.)
6. Check that the steering column is set at the center tilt position.
Caster Inspection

Use commercially available computerized four wheel alignment equipment to measure wheel
alignment (caster, camber, toe, and turning angle). Follow the equipment manufacturer’s
instructions.
Check the caster angle.
Caster angle: 3° 45′ ± 1°
^ If the measurement is within specifications, measure the camber angle.
^ If the measurement is not within specifications, check for bent or damaged suspension
components.

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fit of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

Page 1708

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Component Location Index

Page 2231

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

Locations

Clutch Switch: Locations
60. Under Left Side Of Dash (M/T)

Page 1511

Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is

affecting the measurement.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.
CAUTION: Do not quick-charge a battery unless the battery ground cable has been disconnected, or you will
damage the alternator diodes.
— Do not attempt to crank the engine with the ground cable disconnected or you will severely
damage the wiring.
While You’re Working
1. Make sure connectors are clean, and have no loose terminals or receptacles.
2. Make sure that connectors without wire seals are packed with dielectric (silicone) grease. Part
Number: 08798-9001. 3. When connecting a connector, push it until it «clicks» into place.
CAUTION: Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting a connector. Pull only on the connector housings.

How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
1. Remove the damaged or faulty terminal from the connector. Use the proper removal tool from
Pin Tool Set.

Page 1776

18. When prompted, go to the right rear wheel, then select the Enter button.

19. The TPMS sensor ID learning procedure goes through the same steps as the left front wheel
(see steps 12 thru 15). When the timer starts (the blue bar appears), point and hold the TPMS
sensor tool 10 to 20 inches from the right rear wheel valve stem. Press and hold the large transmit
button for up to 1 minute. The button should flash red. The TPMS sensor tool sends a signal to the
TPMS sensor to turn on and broadcast the TPMS sensor ID to the TPMS control unit.
NOTE:
^ If the sensor IDs appear without the TPMS sensor tool button being pushed, a TPMS sensor is
transmitting. Select the Exit button, wait 5 minutes for the sensor to go to sleep, then follow the
on-screen prompts.
^ If the sensor does not respond (no sensor IDs are displayed), rotate the tire one-quarter turn and
try again. If the TPMS sensor does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, switch the tire to a
known-good location and try again. If the TPMS sensor still does not respond after one full rotation
of the tire, replace the TPMS sensor.
20. When prompted, go to the right front wheel, then select the Enter button.
21. The TPMS sensor ID learning procedure goes through the same steps as the left front wheel

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Headlamp Switch: All Technical Service Bulletins Recall 10V624000: Headlamp Low-Beam
Terminal Corrosion

VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): Honda/Fit 2007-2008 MANUFACTURER: Honda
(American Honda Motor Co.)
MFR’S REPORT DATE: December 15, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V624000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE10037
COMPONENT: Exterior Lighting: Headlights: High/Low Beam Dimmer Switch
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 143,083
SUMMARY: Honda is recalling model year 2007-2008 Honda Fit vehicles. Due to an error during
installation of the wiring harness for the combination switch that controls low head beam function,
the wires for the lower beam circuit were pulled tighter than intended. After repeated use of the
headlight switch, the electrical connector terminal for the low beam headlight circuit can become
worn as a result of this tension, which can result in low conductivity and cause an accumulation of
copper oxide in the area of the contacts.
CONSEQUENCE: The low beam headlights can become inoperative decreasing the driver’s
visibility as well as the vehicle’s visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the low beam terminal and perform necessary repairs free of
charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before January 21, 2011. Owners may contact
Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
NOTES: Honda’s safety recall No. R58. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to

Procedures

Engine Control Module: Procedures
ECM/PCM Reset
HDS Clear Command
The ECM/PCM stores various specific data to correct the system even if there is no electrical
power such as when the battery negative terminal is disconnected. Stored data based on failed
parts should be cleared by using the «CLEAR COMMAND» of the HDS, if parts are replaced.
The HDS has three kinds of clear commands to meet this purpose. They are DTC clear, ECM/PCM
reset, and crank (CKP) pattern clear. DTC clear command erases all stored DTC codes, freeze
data, on-board snapshot, and readiness codes. This must be done with the HDS after reproducing
the DTC during troubleshooting. The ECM/PCM reset command erases all stored DTC codes,
freeze data, on-board snapshot, readiness codes, and all specific data to correct the system except
crank (CKP) pattern. If the crank (CKP) pattern data in the ECM/PCM was cleared, you must do
the crank (CKP) pattern learn procedure. The crank (CKP) pattern clear command erases only
crank (CKP) pattern data. This command is for repair of a misfire or the CKP sensor.
Scan Tool Clear Command
If you are using a generic scan tool to clear commands, be aware that there is only one setting for
clearing the ECM/PCM, and it clears all commands at the same time (crank (CKP) pattern learn,
idle learn, readiness codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, and DTCs). After you clear all
commands, you then need to do these procedures, in this order: ECM/PCM idle learn procedure;
crank (CKP) pattern learn procedure; Test-drive to set readiness codes to complete.
DTC Clear
1. Clear the DTC with the HDS while the engine is stopped. 2. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 3. Turn
the ignition switch ON (II), and wait 30 seconds. 4. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect
the HDS from the DLC.

ECM/PCM Reset
1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS while the engine is stopped. 2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and wait 30 seconds. 4. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and
disconnect the HDS from the DLC. 5. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.

column cover. Place the sticker on the steering wheel when the steering wheel is straight. When
you test-drive the vehicle, you can read how many millimeters the steering wheel is off-center.
NOTE:

If the vehicle is pulling, repairing the pull may correct the steering wheel offset.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution Diagram Set to get a more detailed

understanding of how power is supplied to the circuit you’re working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

How to Troubleshoot Circuits at the ECM/PCM
Special Tools Required
— Digital multimeter KS-AHM-32-003 (1) or a commercially available digital multimeter
— Backprobe set 07SAZ-001000A (2)
NOTE: The ECM/PCM overwrites data and monitors the EVAP system for up to about 30 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned OFF. Jumping the SCS line after turning the ignition switch OFF
cancels this function. Disconnecting the ECM/PCM during this function, without jumping the SCS
line first, can damage the ECM/PCM.
1. Connect the backprobe adapters (A) to the stacking patch cords (B), and connect the cords to a
digital multimeter (C).
2. Using the wire insulation as a guide for the contoured tip of the backprobe adapter, gently slide
the tip into the connector from the wire side until it
touches the end of the wire terminal.
3. If you cannot get to the wire side of the connector or the wire side is sealed (A), disconnect the
connector and probe the terminals (B) from the
terminal side. Do not force the probe into the connector.
NOTE: Do not puncture the insulation on a wire. Punctures can cause poor or intermittent electrical
connections.

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.

Description and Operation

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Indication (In relation to Readiness Codes)
The vehicle has certain «readiness codes» that are part of the on-board diagnostics for the
emissions systems. If the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected or gone dead, if the DTCs have
been cleared, or if the ECM/PCM has been reset, these codes are reset. In some states, part of the
emissions testing is to make sure these codes are set to complete. If all of them are not set to
complete, the vehicle may fail the test, or the test cannot be finished.
To check if the readiness codes are set to complete, turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start
the engine. The MIL will come on for 15 — 20 seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are
complete. If it flashes five times, one or more readiness codes are not complete. To set each code,
drive the vehicle or run the engine as described in the procedures.

13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fit of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution Diagram Set to get a more detailed

understanding of how power is supplied to the circuit you’re working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is

affecting the measurement.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

Vehicle Lifting: Service and Repair

Lift and Support Points
NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components such as the suspension or the fuel tank from
the rear of the vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall safety stands. When substantial
weight is removed from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can change, causing the
vehicle to tip forward on the lift.
Vehicle Lift
1. Position the lift blocks (A), under the vehicle’s front support points (B) and rear support points
(C).
2. Raise the lift a few inches, and rock the vehicle gently to be sure it is firmly supported. 3. Raise
the lift to its full height, and inspect the vehicle support points for solid contact with the lift blocks.
Safety Stands
To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same support points (B and C) as for a vehicle lift.
Always use safety stands when working on or under any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
Floor Jack
1. When lifting the front of the vehicle, set the parking brake. When lifting the rear of the vehicle,
put the shift lever in reverse for manual
transmission, or in the P position for automatic transmission.
2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted. 3. Position the floor jack under the front jacking
bracket (A) or the rear jacking bracket (B). Center the jacking bracket on the jack lift platform (C),
and jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety stands under it.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the

equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30′ = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical

Applies To: 2007-08 Fit — ALL
Safety Recall: Power Window Master Switch May Not Work (Supersedes 10-008, dated March 15,
2010, to revise the information marked by the black bars and asterisks)
*REVISION SUMMARY
Under REPAIR PROCEDURE, step 10 now shows more examples of PCB moisture damage and
corrosion.*
BACKGROUND
Under severe conditions, water or other liquid may enter the drive’s window and reach the power
window master switch on the door panel. Liquid in the switch can damage the switch’s printed
circuit board (PCB), causing the switch to fail. In rare cases, the damaged PCB creates a short
circuit that overheats the switch connectors and melts them, leading to a possible fire.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification of this campaign. An example of the customer
notification is at the end of this service bulletin.
To verify vehicle eligibility, you must check at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark above the fifth character of the engine compartment VIN. A
punch mark in that location means this campaign has already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. As a matter of
federal law, these vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.
Should an unrepaired vehicle cause an injury or damage because of the recalled item, the
dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and
indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a vehicle is affected by this
campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the power window master switch. Depending on what you find, do one of these actions:
^ Apply a protective skirt to the original switch.
^ Install a new switch with a protective skirt.
^ Replace the driver’s door wire harness, and install a new switch with a protective skirt.
PARTS INFORMATION
NOTE:
Most affected vehicles will only require a protective skirt for the power window master switch. Less
than 10 percent of affected vehicles will require a power window master switch kit. And less than 1

percent of affected vehicles will require a drivers door wire harness.

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the

equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30′ = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on. 2. Test-drive the vehicle on a level road: Decelerate (with the throttle fully
closed) from an engine speed of 2,500 rpm down to 1,000 rpm with the
A/T in 2 position, or M/T in 1st gear.
3. Repeat step 2 several times. 4. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II),
and wait 30 seconds.
How to End a Troubleshooting Session (required after any troubleshooting)
1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS. 2. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. 3. Turn the
ignition switch OFF. 4. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
NOTE: The ECM/PCM is part of the immobilizer system. If you replace the ECM/PCM, it will have a
different immobilizer code. In order for the engine to start, you must rewrite the immobilizer code
with the HDS (immobilizer system section).
Updating the ECM/PCM
Updating the ECM/PCM
Special Tools Required
— Honda diagnostic system (HDS) tablet tester
— Honda interface module (HIM) and an iN workstation with HDS and CM update software
— HDS pocket tester
— GNA600 and an iN workstation with HDS and CM update software
NOTE:
— Use this procedure when you need to update the ECM/PCM during troubleshooting procedures.

— Make sure the HDS/HIM has the latest software version downloaded from the iN (interactive
network).
— Before you update the ECM/PCM, make sure the battery in the vehicle is fully changed and
connect a jumper battery (not a battery charger) to maintain system voltage.
— Never turn the ignition switch OFF during the update. If there is a problem with the update, leave
the ignition switch ON (II).
— To prevent ECM/PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system,
brakes, A/C, power windows, door locks, etc.) during the update.
— To ensure the latest program is installed, do an ECM/PCM update whenever the ECM/PCM is
substituted or replaced.
— You cannot update an ECM/PCM with a program it already has. It will only accept a new program.
— If you need to diagnose the Honda interface module (HIM) because the HIM’s red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the data link connector (DLC). This will prevent ECM/PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the engine. 2. Connect the HDS to the data link
connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn’t,
go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting. See:
Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/DLC Circuit Troubleshooting. If you are returning from the DLC circuit troubleshooting,
skip steps 4 and 5, then clean the throttle body after updating the ECM/PCM
4. Select the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS. 5. Select the ETCS TEST, then select the TP
POSITION CHECK, and follow the HDS screen prompts.
NOTE: If the TP POSITION CHECK indicates FAILED, continue this procedure.

3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from

the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former. 5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown
in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
— If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
— If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection

Idle Speed Inspection
NOTE:
— Before checking the idle speed, check these items: The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) has not been reported on, and there are no DTCs.
— Ignition timing
— Sparkplugs
— Air cleaner
— PCV system
— Apply the parking brake, and make sure the headlights are off.
1. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve connector. 2. Connect the
HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM. If it
doesn’t, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting. See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/DLC Circuit Troubleshooting
5. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle. 6. Check the idle speed without load conditions: headlights,
blower fan, radiator fan, and air conditioner off.
7. Let the engine idle for 1 minute with high electric load (A/C switch on, temperature set to max
cool, blower fan on high, and headlights on high
beam).
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification, do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. If the idle
speed is still not within specification, go to symptom troubleshooting.

2. Remove the terminal. 3. Go to HOW TO INSTALL NEW TERMINALS.

EXAMPLE B:
1. Remove the secondary lock from the male terminal half.
2. Remove the secondary lock from the female terminal half.

Page 2333

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

^ Valve guide reamer, 5.5 mm 07HAH-PJ7A100
1. Inspect valve stem-to-guide clearance. 2. As illustrated below, use a commercially available air
impact valve guide driver (A) modified to fit the diameter of the valve guides. In most cases,
the same procedure can be done using the valve guide driver and a conventional hammer.

3. Select the proper replacement guides, and chill them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for
about an hour. 4. Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder head to 300° F (150° C).
Monitor the temperature with a cooking thermometer. Do not get the
head hotter than 300° F (150° C); excessive heat may loosen the valve seats.
5. Working from the camshaft side, use the valve guide driver and an air hammer to drive the guide
about 2 mm (0.1 in.) towards the combustion
chamber. This will knock off some of the carbon and make removal easier. Hold the air hammer
directly in line with the valve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
6. Turn the head over, and drive the guide out toward the camshaft side of the head.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the

vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors

Page 1918

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Recall 10V624000: Headlamp Low-Beam Terminal
Corrosion

Headlamp Switch: Recalls Recall 10V624000: Headlamp Low-Beam Terminal Corrosion

VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): Honda/Fit 2007-2008 MANUFACTURER: Honda
(American Honda Motor Co.)
MFR’S REPORT DATE: December 15, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V624000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE10037
COMPONENT: Exterior Lighting: Headlights: High/Low Beam Dimmer Switch
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 143,083
SUMMARY: Honda is recalling model year 2007-2008 Honda Fit vehicles. Due to an error during
installation of the wiring harness for the combination switch that controls low head beam function,
the wires for the lower beam circuit were pulled tighter than intended. After repeated use of the
headlight switch, the electrical connector terminal for the low beam headlight circuit can become
worn as a result of this tension, which can result in low conductivity and cause an accumulation of
copper oxide in the area of the contacts.
CONSEQUENCE: The low beam headlights can become inoperative decreasing the driver’s
visibility as well as the vehicle’s visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY: Dealers will inspect the low beam terminal and perform necessary repairs free of
charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before January 21, 2011. Owners may contact
Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
NOTES: Honda’s safety recall No. R58. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to

The road crown gauge measures the amount of road crown. Almost all roads have a crown to help
drain water during rainstorms. Use the suction cup to attach the road crown gauge bracket to the

vehicle in a vertical position. If necessary, bend the bracket until the gauge is vertical. Once you
attach and align the road crown gauge, calibrate the gauge to zero. There are two ways to calibrate
the gauge:
^ Park the vehicle on a level surface, such as an alignment rack, and calibrate the gauge by
moving the gauge until the ball is on the zero mark.
^ If you do not have a perfectly flat surface, park the vehicle on a reasonably flat surface and note
the gauge reading. Turn the vehicle 1800 and, with the tires in the same spot, note the new gauge
reading. Then move the gauge half of the difference. For example, if your first reading is +3 and,
after moving the vehicle, the gauge reads -1, then the difference is 4 degrees. Position the gauge
to read +1.
NOTE:
You must calibrate the gauge with the same weight in the vehicle that you will use for the test-drive.
If you plan to have an assistant help you during the test-drive, calibrate the gauge while both of you
are sitting in the vehicle.

contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you’re using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
«OHMS» range.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end.

Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is

affecting the measurement.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Towing Information: Service and Repair

Towing
If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind
another vehicle with a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.
Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.
Flat-bed Equipment — The operator loads the vehicle on the back of a truck. This is the best way of
transporting the vehicle.
To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is equipped with a front tie down hook slots (A),
rear towing hook (B), and rear tie down hook slots (C).
The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down hook
slots can be used to secure the vehicle to the truck.
Front Towing Hook Installation
The detachable front towing hook is only for towing a very short distance, such as freeing the car.
The hook mounts to the anchor in the front bumper.
NOTE:
— To avoid damage to the vehicle, use the towing hook for straight flat ground towing only. Do not
tow on an angle.
— The tow hook should not be used to tow the vehicle onto a flat-bed. Do not use it as a tie down.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

How to End a Troubleshooting Session (required after any troubleshooting)
1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS. 2. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. 3. Turn the
ignition switch OFF. 4. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
NOTE: The ECM/PCM is part of the immobilizer system. If you replace the ECM/PCM, it will have a
different immobilizer code. In order for the engine to start, you must rewrite the immobilizer code
with the HDS (immobilizer system section).
Updating the ECM/PCM
Updating the ECM/PCM
Special Tools Required
— Honda diagnostic system (HDS) tablet tester
— Honda interface module (HIM) and an iN workstation with HDS and CM update software
— HDS pocket tester
— GNA600 and an iN workstation with HDS and CM update software
NOTE:

— Use this procedure when you need to update the ECM/PCM during troubleshooting procedures.
— Make sure the HDS/HIM has the latest software version downloaded from the iN (interactive
network).
— Before you update the ECM/PCM, make sure the battery in the vehicle is fully changed and
connect a jumper battery (not a battery charger) to maintain system voltage.
— Never turn the ignition switch OFF during the update. If there is a problem with the update, leave
the ignition switch ON (II).
— To prevent ECM/PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system,
brakes, A/C, power windows, door locks, etc.) during the update.
— To ensure the latest program is installed, do an ECM/PCM update whenever the ECM/PCM is
substituted or replaced.
— You cannot update an ECM/PCM with a program it already has. It will only accept a new program.
— If you need to diagnose the Honda interface module (HIM) because the HIM’s red (#3) light came
on or was flashing during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when you
disconnect the HIM from the data link connector (DLC). This will prevent ECM/PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II), but do not start the engine. 2. Connect the HDS to the data link
connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM and other vehicle systems. If it doesn’t,
go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting. See:
Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component
Tests and General Diagnostics/DLC Circuit Troubleshooting. If you are returning from the DLC
circuit troubleshooting, skip steps 4 and 5, then clean the throttle body after updating the
ECM/PCM
4. Select the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS. 5. Select the ETCS TEST, then select the TP
POSITION CHECK, and follow the HDS screen prompts.

Do this repair procedure if, after doing step 10 of the test-drive, the vehicle pulled in the opposite
direction after you swapped the front tires.
1. Swap wheels 2 and 4 on the passenger’s side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 2, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, put wheels 2 and 4 back to their original positions, and go to step 2.
2. Swap wheels 1 and 3 on the driver’s side of the vehicle, and test-drive again.
^ If the pull goes away, replace the tire on wheel 1, then go to step 3.
^ If the pull does not go away, use a known-good tire in position 1 and continue diagnosis.
3. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.

6. Test-drive the vehicle to make sure it no longer pulls. If the steering wheel is now off-center by
more than 2 mm, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE C.

7. Use your diagnosis worksheet to fill in the following table and build your 15-digit DTC.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30′ = 0.50.
REPAIR PROCEDURE C
1. Make sure the steering wheel is centered.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right until it stops.
^ Turn the steering wheel all the way to the left, and count the number of revolutions until it stops.
^ Divide the number of revolutions in half, and turn the steering wheel until it is centered. For
example, if it takes four revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, then two turns is
centered.
^ If the steering wheel is off-center by a large amount (20 mm or more), it may not be centered on
the steering column shaft. Reinstall the steering wheel before going to step 2.
2. Place the vehicle on a lift, turn the steering wheel until it is centered, and then raise the vehicle.
3. Adjust the tie-rods. Use your measurements from question 13 of the test-drive to make your
adjustment.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

There are two ways to charge the batteries. The method to use depends on the batteries’ state of
charge. For brand new or fully discharged batteries:
1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger (make sure you use the AC adapter with the 90° bend).
2. Insert the batteries into the charger. Make sure you note the polarity (direction) of the batteries.
3. Plug the charger into a power outlet. The LEDs turn red, and quick charging begins.
NOTE:
^ If the LEDs do not come on, check that the batteries are properly installed. If the LEDs still do not
come on, replace the batteries.
^ If you press the red button while the batteries are charging, the battery discharge mode begins.
Press the red button again within 30 seconds, and the charger switches back to its quick charge
mode.
^ When the LEDs turn green, the batteries are charged, and the battery charger automatically
switches to trickle charge mode.
^ Remove the batteries from the charger when it is not plugged in.

For charging batteries when you don’t know the state of charge:
1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger (make sure you use the AC adapter with the 90° bend).
2. Insert the batteries into the charger. Make sure you note the polarity (direction) of the batteries.
3. Plug the charger into a power outlet.
4. Press the red button once to start the discharge mode. The LEDs blink red.

TOOL INFORMATION
TOOL DESCRIPTION
TPMS Sensor Tool
The TPMS sensor tool is a wireless tool that is used with the HDS for troubleshooting (sensor
position check) and for replacing TPMS sensors or the control unit (sensor ID learning).
General use:
^ Always make sure the TPMS sensor tool is set to low power unless otherwise instructed.
*^ Make sure there are no vehicles or other wheels with TPMS sensors within 10 feet of the vehicle
you are working on.
^ Make sure the batteries are in good condition and secure in the case. Refer to ServiceNews
article A07050D, Keep Those TPMS Sensor Tool Batteries From Popping Loose, for more
information.*
^ Turn on the TPMS sensor tool by following the HDS instructions. There are two different
wavelengths used, and there are two ways to turn on the TPMS sensor tool. If the TPMS sensor
tool is not turned on correctly, you won’t be able to troubleshoot the vehicle or do the sensor ID
learning procedure.

Page 116

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends

Use the HDS to read the stored DTC(s):
^ If P0420 is the only DIG, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.
^ If other DTCs are stored along with P0420, troubleshoot the other DTCs first. Failure of other
parts can contribute to catalytic converter problems and cause it to fail again. After you
troubleshoot the other DTCs, go to REPAIR PROCEDURE.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
The illustrations for center console removal show the M/T model; the A/T model is similar.

Page 2530

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

Idle Speed: Testing and Inspection

Idle Speed Inspection
NOTE:
— Before checking the idle speed, check these items: The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) has not been reported on, and there are no DTCs.
— Ignition timing
— Sparkplugs
— Air cleaner
— PCV system
— Apply the parking brake, and make sure the headlights are off.
1. Disconnect the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve connector. 2. Connect the
HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the ECM/PCM. If it
doesn’t, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting. See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and
General Diagnostics/DLC Circuit Troubleshooting
5. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle. 6. Check the idle speed without load conditions: headlights,
blower fan, radiator fan, and air conditioner off.
7. Let the engine idle for 1 minute with high electric load (A/C switch on, temperature set to max
cool, blower fan on high, and headlights on high
beam).
NOTE: If the idle speed is not within specification, do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure. If the idle
speed is still not within specification, go to symptom troubleshooting.
8. Reconnect the EVAP canister purge valve connector.

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fit of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

NOTE: If the vehicle is driven when the ATF level is below the lower mark, one or more of these
symptoms may occur: ^
Transmission damage.
^ Vehicle does not move in any gear.
^ Vehicle accelerates poorly, and flares when starting off in the forward and reverse positions.
^ The engine vibrates at idle.
7. If the level is above the upper mark, drain the ATF to proper level.
NOTE: If the vehicle is driven when the ATF level is above the upper mark, the vehicle may creep
forward while in N, or have shifting problems.
8. If necessary, fill the transmission with the ATF through the dipstick guide opening (A) to bring the
fluid level midway between the upper mark and
lower mark of the dipstick. Do not fill past the upper mark. Always use Honda ATF-Z1 Automatic

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
NOTE:
^ Make sure there are no cooling system leaks, and make sure the radiator cap is OK. Leaks or a
faulty cap can let air into the cooling system. A leak between the hose fitting on the filler neck and

the hose inside the coolant reservoir will cause the same condition. The radiator cap seals to build
pressure, and is vented to allow coolant to be drawn out of the reservoir into the radiator. If the
hose to the reservoir or the reservoir leaks,

sensor ID to the TPMS control unit.
NOTE:
^ If the sensor IDs appear without the TPMS sensor tool button being pushed, a TPMS sensor is
transmitting. Select the Exit button, wait 5 minutes for the sensors to go to sleep, then follow the
on-screen prompts.
^ If the sensor does not respond (no sensor IDs are displayed), rotate the tire one-quarter turn and
try again. If the TPMS sensor does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, switch the tire to a
known-good location and try again. If the TPMS sensor still does not respond after one full rotation
of the tire, replace the TPMS sensor.

22. The sensor position check is complete. Using the DTC(s) and the information on the Sensor
Position Check screen, locate the problem tire.
The following table and screen are examples only.
If the vehicle has DTC 22-1,this means that the problem is in tire 2 (sensor 2).

— Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a 10-mega
ohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that

contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you’re using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
«OHMS» range.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end.

8. Tighten the bolts on the transmission range switch while you continue to hold the N position. Do
not move the transmission range switch when

tightening the bolts. Remove the feeler gauge.
9. Check the connectors for rust, dirt, or oil, clean or repair if necessary, then connect the
connector securely.
10. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II). Move the shift lever through all positions, and check the
transmission range switch synchronization with the
A/T gear position indicator.
11. Check that the engine starts in P and N, and does not start in any other shift lever position. 12.
Check that the back-up lights come on when the shift lever is in R. 13. Allow the front wheels to
rotate freely, then start the engine, and check the shift lever operation. 14. Install the transmission
range switch cover.

Page 1450

8. Inspect the quality of the wire crimp. If it has any of the shown NO GOOD crimps, cut it off and
start over. 9. Insert the terminal into the connector. Make sure the wire seals are pushed all the
way into the connector. Lightly pull on the wires to make sure
the terminal is locked into place.
10. Close or insert the secondary terminal lock, if applicable, and reconnect the connector.
How to Install Pigtail Terminals
HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS
Pigtail terminals (short pieces of wire with a factory crimped terminal) are used when the wire is too
short or when access to the connector is too restricted to make a terminal repair.
NOTE: To replace just a connector terminal, go to How to Replace Connector Terminals.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

3. Strip the insulation off the end of the wire so the wire fits in the new terminal as shown. (If the
wire has a wire seal, replace it with a new one from

the kit.)
NOTE: After stripping the end of the wire, make sure you did not cut any wire strands. If you did,
cut the wire off even with the insulation, and strip it again.
4. Position the terminal in the crimping tool slot with the solid portion of the terminal toward the
anvil and the open section toward the former. 5. Insert the wire in the terminal to the position shown
in step 3.
6. Squeeze the tool with both hands until the stops make contact.
7. Crimp the insulation crimp.
— If you do not have a wire seal, then use the next larger size crimp slot. Position the crimping tool
over the insulation crimp section of the terminal, then squeeze the tool with both hands until the
stops make contact.
— If you have a wire seal, position the insulation crimp in the 5.5 crimping slot, then carefully
squeeze the crimp closed until its ends are touching and making a full-circle shape.

90-011, Steering Wheel Off-Center Adjustment at PDI)*
*REVISION SUMMARY
The title description was revised.*
SYMPTOM
While driving on a straight road, the vehicle pulls or drifts to the right or left.
BACKGROUND
New tools were developed to help you diagnose and correct a pulling and/or steering wheel
off-center issue. There is a diagnosis worksheet included to take on your test-drive and record your
findings. These values are used to build the 15-digit DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that is required
for your warranty claim. The last step in each repair procedure helps you create the correct code.
In the rare case that you have to repair a vehicle that pulls and has the steering wheel off-center,
use REPAIR PROCEDURE B to file your warranty claim.
For more information, refer to Training Module SSC 44 — Steering Drift or Pull Interactive Service
Bulletin.
PROBABLE CAUSES
Several conditions can cause the vehicle to pull or drift:
^ Wheel alignment
^ Tires
^ Off-center steering wheel (no pulling or drifting, but a customer may believe this is the case)
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Diagnose the problem using the special tools and the worksheet on page 4 that guides you to one
of four repair procedures.

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
APP Sensor Signal Inspection
NOTE:
— This procedure checks the APP sensor in its fully closed position. In any other position, the APP
sensor stores DTCs which are covered in other troubleshooting procedures.
— Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS before doing this procedure. If any DTCs are
indicated, troubleshoot them first, then do this procedure.
— Press the accelerator pedal several times to check its operation. If it does not operate smoothly,
check the pedal. If you find a problem, replace the accelerator pedal module.
1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver’s side of the
dashboard.
2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). 3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the
ECM/PCM. If it doesn’t, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting. See: Testing and
Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/DLC Circuit Troubleshooting
4. Make sure the accelerator pedal is not pressed, then check the APP SENSOR in the DATA LIST
with the HDS.
— If it is 0 %, the APP sensor is OK.
— If it is not 0 %, update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a
known-good ECM/PCM, then go to step 5.
5. Make sure the accelerator pedal is not pressed, then check the APP SENSOR in the DATA LIST
with the HDS.
— If it is 0 %, the APP sensor is OK.

— If it is not 0 %, replace the accelerator pedal module, then go to step 1.

3. Connect the universal connect set and the Tracer- Stick dye capsule:
(a) Be sure the quick coupler and control valves on the set are closed.
(b) Remove the low-side service port sealing cap, and connect the set to the low-side service port
using the quick coupler.
(c) Hold a new dye capsule so that the embossed arrow is pointing up. Remove the black end cap,
and carefully attach the capsule to the control valve fitting.
NOTE:
The capsule must be held with the embossed arrow pointing up or the dye will leak out of the
capsule.
(d) Turn the capsule so the embossed arrow is pointing down. Remove the orange end cap, and
carefully attach the service valve fitting provided in the kit (finger tight).
NOTE:
The capsule must be held with the embossed arrow pointing down or the dye will leak out.
4. Connect the NC service equipment:

With the universal connect set and dye capsule attached to the vehicle’s low-side service port,
connect the A/C refrigerant recovery and charging station’s low-side hose quick coupler to the
service valve fitting. Open the blue hand-wheel valves on both quick couplers. Leave the control
valve (black knob) on the universal connect set closed.
NOTE:
* ^ If you have recovered refrigerant to weigh it as part of your diagnostics, or if there is a low
charge, it is more efficient to recharge the system using normal procedures before installing the
universal connect set. Dye can then be added using approximately 0.05 lb (0.02 kg) of refrigerant.*
^ You do not need to connect the service equipment’s high-side hose to the vehicle to install the
dye. If the high-side hose is connected, make sure its coupler valve is closed before proceeding.
^ Do not use the A/C recovery and charging station to recover or evacuate the A/C system when a
full dye capsule is attached. The dye will be drawn into the service equipment instead of being
added to the vehicle’s A/C system.
5. Inspect the A/C system for leaks:
(a) Run the A/C system for at least 15 minutes to circulate the dye through the system. Large leaks
will be seen immediately as a fluorescent yellow glow. Smaller leaks may require at least 24 hours
of vehicle operation before they become visible. Operate the A/C system as much as possible
during this time to keep the dye circulating.
(b) Stop the vehicle’s engine and inspect the system for leaks using the ultraviolet (UV) lamp and
fluorescence-enhancing glasses from the kit.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution Diagram Set to get a more detailed

understanding of how power is supplied to the circuit you’re working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

1. Place the vehicle on a commercially available, computerized, four-wheel alignment rack, and
record the following measurements. Follow the

equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE:
Enter each reading in decimal degrees. Example 30′ = 0.50.
2. If any measurement is out of specification, inspect the front suspension for any damage. Repair
any damaged parts before continuing your diagnosis.
3. Determine how the front wheel camber is affecting the pull. Pick the combination of left- and
right-front camber that best matches the vehicle you are
repairing, then note the camber thrust direction for that combination:
NOTE:
^ If the camber of both front wheels is negative, but one wheel is grossly more negative than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be opposite the wheel with more negative camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more negative, the camber thrust direction is right).
^ If the camber of both front wheels is positive, but one wheel is grossly more positive than the
other, the camber thrust direction will be the same as the wheel with more positive camber (for
example, if the left-front wheel is more positive, the camber thrust direction is left).
4. Determine how the camber needs to be adjusted.
5. Adjust the camber as needed.

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.

^ When the LEDs turn green, the batteries are charged, and the battery charger automatically
switches to trickle charge mode.

^ Remove the batteries from the charger when it is not plugged in.
SENSOR POSITION CHECK
When the TPMS sets a DTC, it refers to Tire 1, Tire 2, Tire 3, or Tire 4. In the service manual, the
tire number is the sensor number. For example, Tire 2 is sensor 2.
However, the tire number is not the tire position. To diagnose or repair the vehicle, do the sensor
position check to find the location of the problem tire (or sensor) on the vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Connect the HDS to the vehicle.
3. On the HDS main screen, select the HDS icon.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

Offset your finger, or use just your nail to push the buttons, so you can see the light in the buttons.
AC Adapters for the TPMS Sensor Tool
Two AC adapters are included in the TPMS sensor tool kit. The 900 AC adapter is for the battery
charger. Use the straight AC adapter to power the TPMS sensor tool when charged batteries are
not available.
NOTE:
^ The AC adapter does not charge the batteries in the TPMS sensor tool.
^ Remove the batteries from the TPMS sensor tool when using the AC adapter.
Using the Battery Charger
There are two ways to charge the batteries. The method to use depends on the batteries’ state of
charge. For brand new or fully discharged batteries:
1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger (make sure you use the AC adapter with the 90° bend).
2. Insert the batteries into the charger. Make sure you note the polarity (direction) of the batteries.
3. Plug the charger into a power outlet. The LEDs turn red, and quick charging begins.
NOTE:
^ If the LEDs do not come on, check that the batteries are properly installed. If the LEDs still do not
come on, replace the batteries.
^ If you press the red button while the batteries are charging, the battery discharge mode begins.
Press the red button again within 30 seconds, and the charger switches back to its quick charge
mode.
^ When the LEDs turn green, the batteries are charged, and the battery charger automatically
switches to trickle charge mode.
^ Remove the batteries from the charger when it is not plugged in.

For charging batteries when you don’t know the state of charge:
1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger (make sure you use the AC adapter with the 90° bend).
2. Insert the batteries into the charger. Make sure you note the polarity (direction) of the batteries.
3. Plug the charger into a power outlet.
4. Press the red button once to start the discharge mode. The LEDs blink red.
NOTE:
^ If the LEDs do not come on, check that the batteries are properly installed. If the LEDs still do not
come on, replace the batteries.
^ If you press the red button a second time within 30 seconds, the battery quick charge mode
begins.
^ Once the batteries are discharged, the LEDs turn solid red and the battery quick charge mode
begins.

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

Procedures

Engine Control Module: Procedures
ECM/PCM Reset
HDS Clear Command
The ECM/PCM stores various specific data to correct the system even if there is no electrical
power such as when the battery negative terminal is disconnected. Stored data based on failed
parts should be cleared by using the «CLEAR COMMAND» of the HDS, if parts are replaced.
The HDS has three kinds of clear commands to meet this purpose. They are DTC clear, ECM/PCM
reset, and crank (CKP) pattern clear. DTC clear command erases all stored DTC codes, freeze
data, on-board snapshot, and readiness codes. This must be done with the HDS after reproducing
the DTC during troubleshooting. The ECM/PCM reset command erases all stored DTC codes,
freeze data, on-board snapshot, readiness codes, and all specific data to correct the system except
crank (CKP) pattern. If the crank (CKP) pattern data in the ECM/PCM was cleared, you must do
the crank (CKP) pattern learn procedure. The crank (CKP) pattern clear command erases only
crank (CKP) pattern data. This command is for repair of a misfire or the CKP sensor.
Scan Tool Clear Command
If you are using a generic scan tool to clear commands, be aware that there is only one setting for
clearing the ECM/PCM, and it clears all commands at the same time (crank (CKP) pattern learn,
idle learn, readiness codes, freeze data, on-board snapshot, and DTCs). After you clear all
commands, you then need to do these procedures, in this order: ECM/PCM idle learn procedure;
crank (CKP) pattern learn procedure; Test-drive to set readiness codes to complete.
DTC Clear
1. Clear the DTC with the HDS while the engine is stopped. 2. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 3. Turn
the ignition switch ON (II), and wait 30 seconds. 4. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect
the HDS from the DLC.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution Diagram Set to get a more detailed

understanding of how power is supplied to the circuit you’re working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.

Data Link Connector: Diagnostic Aids
How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution Diagram Set to get a more detailed

understanding of how power is supplied to the circuit you’re working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fit of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is

affecting the measurement.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

*REVISION SUMMARY
Under REPAIR PROCEDURE, step 10 now shows more examples of PCB moisture damage and
corrosion.*
BACKGROUND
Under severe conditions, water or other liquid may enter the drive’s window and reach the power
window master switch on the door panel. Liquid in the switch can damage the switch’s printed
circuit board (PCB), causing the switch to fail. In rare cases, the damaged PCB creates a short
circuit that overheats the switch connectors and melts them, leading to a possible fire.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notification of this campaign. An example of the customer
notification is at the end of this service bulletin.
To verify vehicle eligibility, you must check at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark above the fifth character of the engine compartment VIN. A
punch mark in that location means this campaign has already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your used vehicle inventory. As a matter of
federal law, these vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.
Should an unrepaired vehicle cause an injury or damage because of the recalled item, the
dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and
indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a vehicle is affected by this
campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect the power window master switch. Depending on what you find, do one of these actions:
^ Apply a protective skirt to the original switch.
^ Install a new switch with a protective skirt.
^ Replace the driver’s door wire harness, and install a new switch with a protective skirt.
PARTS INFORMATION
NOTE:
Most affected vehicles will only require a protective skirt for the power window master switch. Less
than 10 percent of affected vehicles will require a power window master switch kit. And less than 1

percent of affected vehicles will require a drivers door wire harness.

— Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a 10-mega
ohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that

contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you’re using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
«OHMS» range.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end.

Special Tools Required
^ Honda diagnostic system (HDS) tablet tester
^ Honda interface module (HIM) and an iN workstation with HDS and CM update software
^ HDS pocket tester
^ GNA600 and an iN workstation with HDS and CM update software
NOTE: ^
Use this procedure when you have to update the PCM during troubleshooting procedures.
^ Make sure the HDS/HIM has the latest software version.
^ Before you update the PCM, make sure the battery in the vehicle is fully charged.
^ Never turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) during the update. If there is a problem with the
update, leave the ignition switch ON.
^ To prevent PCM damage, do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system, brakes,
A/C, power windows, door locks, etc.) during the update.
^ To ensure the latest program is installed, do a PCM update whenever the PCM is substituted or
replaced.
^ You cannot update a PCM with a program it already has. It will only accept a new program.

^ If you need to diagnose the Honda interface module (HIM) because the HIM’s red (#3) lamp
came on or was flashed during the update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position when
you disconnect the HIM from the data link connector (DLC). This will prevent PCM damage.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON to (II), but do not start the engine. 2. Connect the HDS to the DLC
(A).

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.
Connectors

Page 1917

— Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a 10-mega
ohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that

contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you’re using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
«OHMS» range.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end.

Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

Diodes and solid-state devices in a circuit can make a DVOM give a false reading. To check a
reading, reverse the leads, and take a second reading. If the readings differ, the component is

affecting the measurement.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Jumper Wire
Use a jumper wire to bypass an open circuit. A jumper wire is made up of an in-line fuse holder
connected to a set of test leads. It should have a five ampere fuse. Never connect a jumper wire
across a short circuit. The direct battery short will blow the fuse.
To order any test equipment shown, contact your local tool supplier. For a list of suppliers and tool
numbers, refer to Honda Required Special Tools and Equipment Service Bulletin.
Troubleshooting Precautions
Troubleshooting Precautions
Before Troubleshooting
1. Check the main fuse and the fuse box. 2. Check the battery for damage, state of charge, and
clean and tight connections.

All in-line and junction connectors are numbered (C725, C416, etc.). Component connectors are
not numbered but are identified either by the name of the component if the component only has
one connector, or by a capital letter (A, B, C, etc.) if the component has more than one connector.

Below most connector numbers and component names are PHOTO and VIEW numbers. The
PHOTO number refers to a photo at Vehicle Level Locations that shows the connector’s location on
the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

the car. The VIEW number refers to an connector view at the Vehicle Level Connector Views that
shows the connector terminals, wire colors, connector cavity numbers, and other details.
The connector cavity numbering sequence begins at the top left corner of the connector as seen
from either of the viewpoints. Except for the DLC (data link connector), disregard any numbers
molded into the connector housing.
Wires
Wires are identified by the abbreviated names of their colors; the second color is the color of the
stripe. Wires are also identified by their location in a connector. The number «2» next to the male
and female wire terminals at C554, for example, means those terminals join in cavity 2 of connector
C554.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

Skill Level: Repair Technician
Diagnostic Trouble Code:
To create the 15-digit DTC, see the applicable repair procedure.
Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill
consideration by the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request
consideration, and get a decision, before starting work.
TOOL DESCRIPTIONS
The holding force gauge measures the amount of pull on the vehicle. It is a bracket that counts as
one weight, plus five removable weights.
During the test-drive, attach the bracket and the weights to the steering wheel on the side opposite
the pulling direction. For example, if the vehicle pulls to the right, attach the bracket and weights to
the left side of the steering wheel. Start with the maximum amount of weight on the steering wheel,
and remove the weights until the vehicle drives in a straight line.
When recording the pull on the worksheet, write down the direction of the pull (lefi or right) and the
number of weights required to balance the pull (one through six). For example, if you have the
bracket and two weights on the steering wheel, then record this as three weights.
NOTE:
The bracket counts as one weight.

^ Turn off the TPMS sensor tool by pressing and holding the small button as shown until the green
light in the button turns off. The tool will also turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
NOTE:
Offset your finger, or use just your nail to push the buttons, so you can see the light in the buttons.
AC Adapters for the TPMS Sensor Tool
Two AC adapters are included in the TPMS sensor tool kit. The 900 AC adapter is for the battery
charger. Use the straight AC adapter to power the TPMS sensor tool when charged batteries are
not available.
NOTE:
^ The AC adapter does not charge the batteries in the TPMS sensor tool.
^ Remove the batteries from the TPMS sensor tool when using the AC adapter.
Using the Battery Charger
There are two ways to charge the batteries. The method to use depends on the batteries’ state of
charge. For brand new or fully discharged batteries:
1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger (make sure you use the AC adapter with the 90° bend).
2. Insert the batteries into the charger. Make sure you note the polarity (direction) of the batteries.
3. Plug the charger into a power outlet. The LEDs turn red, and quick charging begins.
NOTE:
^ If the LEDs do not come on, check that the batteries are properly installed. If the LEDs still do not
come on, replace the batteries.
^ If you press the red button while the batteries are charging, the battery discharge mode begins.
Press the red button again within 30 seconds, and the charger switches back to its quick charge
mode.
^ When the LEDs turn green, the batteries are charged, and the battery charger automatically
switches to trickle charge mode.
^ Remove the batteries from the charger when it is not plugged in.

For charging batteries when you don’t know the state of charge:
1. Connect the AC adapter to the charger (make sure you use the AC adapter with the 90° bend).
2. Insert the batteries into the charger. Make sure you note the polarity (direction) of the batteries.
3. Plug the charger into a power outlet.
4. Press the red button once to start the discharge mode. The LEDs blink red.
NOTE:
^ If the LEDs do not come on, check that the batteries are properly installed. If the LEDs still do not
come on, replace the batteries.
^ If you press the red button a second time within 30 seconds, the battery quick charge mode
begins.
^ Once the batteries are discharged, the LEDs turn solid red and the battery quick charge mode
begins.

^ When the LEDs turn green, the batteries are charged, and the battery charger automatically
switches to trickle charge mode.

^ Remove the batteries from the charger when it is not plugged in.
SENSOR POSITION CHECK
When the TPMS sets a DTC, it refers to Tire 1, Tire 2, Tire 3, or Tire 4. In the service manual, the
tire number is the sensor number. For example, Tire 2 is sensor 2.
However, the tire number is not the tire position. To diagnose or repair the vehicle, do the sensor
position check to find the location of the problem tire (or sensor) on the vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Connect the HDS to the vehicle.
3. On the HDS main screen, select the HDS icon.
4. On the HDS version screen, select the cars icon.

4. If the self-powered test light glows, there is continuity. If you’re using a DVOM, a low reading or
no reading (zero), means good continuity.

Testing for Voltage Drop
Wires, connectors, and switches are designed to conduct current with a minimum loss of voltage. A
voltage drop of more than one volt indicates a problem. Circuits must be operating when checking
voltage drop.
1. Place the digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM) in the appropriate DC volts range. Connect the positive
lead to the end of the wire (or to the connector or
switch) closest to the battery.
2. Connect the negative lead to the other end of the wire (or the other side of the connector or
switch). 3. Turn on the components in the circuit. 4. The DVOM will show the difference in voltage
between the two points. A difference, or drop, of more than one volt indicates a problem. Check
the circuit for loose, dirty, or bent terminals.
Testing for a Short with a Test Light or DVOM
1. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM), switched to the appropriate DC volts
range, across the fuse terminals to make sure voltage
is present. You might have to turn the ignition switch to ON; check the schematic to see.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this at convenient points about six
inches apart while watching the test light or DVOM. 4. Where the test light goes off, or the DVOM
voltage drops to zero, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).

1. Remove the cover (A) from the front bumper.
2. Remove the towing hook (B) from the tool kit. 3. Screw the towing hook into the bolt hole (C) in
the bumper and tighten it securely by hand.
Wheel Lift Equipment — The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear)
and lifts them off the ground. The other two wheels remain on the ground. This is an acceptable
way of towing the vehicle.
Sling-type Equipment — The tow truck uses metal cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go
around parts of the frame or suspension and the cables lift that end of the vehicle off the ground.
The vehicle’s suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this method of towing is
attempted. This method of towing the vehicle is unacceptable.
If the vehicle cannot be transported by a flat-bed, it should be towed with the front wheels off the
ground. If the vehicle is damaged, and must be towed with the front wheels on the ground, or with
all four wheels on the ground, do this:
Manual Transmission
— Release the parking brake.
— Shift the transmission to neutral.
— Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position so the steering wheel does not lock.
Automatic Transmission
— Release the parking brake.
— Start the engine.
— Shift to the D position, then to the N position.

— Turn off the engine.
— Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I) position so the steering wheel does not lock.
It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 miles (80 km), and keep the speed below 35 mph (55
km/h).
NOTE:
— Improper towing preparation will damage the transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If
you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine (automatic transmission), the vehicle must be
transported on a flat-bed.
— Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are not
designed to support the vehicle’s weight.

How to Replace Connector Terminals
HOW TO REPLACE CONNECTOR TERMINALS
The terminal repair kits provide necessary tools and materials (terminals, wire seals, and splice
connectors) to repair many damaged or faulty connector terminals. However, not all terminals for
all connectors are available. Refer to the labels on the lids of the repair kits for replacement
terminal availability.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION On some models, the SRS wires are in a separate
harness. If the SRS harness is damaged, replace the harness; do not repair it. On other models,
wire harnesses include yellow SRS wires. If any SRS wire is damaged, replace the entire harness;
do not repair it.
Before you begin, inspect the wire you are about to repair for damage and length. Make sure the
wire will be long enough to make a terminal repair without stretching it when you reinstall the
terminal in the connector. If the wire is too short, or if access to the connector is too restricted to
make a terminal repair, you may need to install a pigtail terminal (a short length of wire with a
factory-crimped terminal on it). Refer to HOW TO INSTALL PIGTAIL TERMINALS.
Removing the Terminal
Use the tools from Pin Tool Set. First, check the connector that you are about to repair.
— If it has a secondary terminal lock, go to Connectors With a Secondary Lock. A secondary lock,
found on most connectors on some models, is an additional locking device on the connector

housing as a backup for the primary lock on the terminal.
— If the connector does not have a secondary lock, go to Connectors Without a Secondary Lock.
Connectors With a Secondary Lock
All examples are shown with the connector lock facing up. The illustrations are examples of the
secondary terminal locks; however, the connector you are repairing may vary in size. Identify the
connector by the type of secondary lock, not by the number of terminal cavities.
EXAMPLE A:
1. Release the secondary lock.

Page 994

The connector cavity number is listed next to each terminal on the circuit schematic. The
cavity/terminal shown above is #6.

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.

Power Distribution schematics show how power is supplied from the positive battery terminal to
various circuits in the vehicle. Refer to the Power Distribution Diagram Set to get a more detailed

understanding of how power is supplied to the circuit you’re working on. Individual circuit
schematics begin with a fuse. So if Power Distribution shows that an inoperative circuit and another
circuit share a fuse, check a component in the other circuit. If it works, you know the fuse is good
and power is available to the inoperative circuit.

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

Page 2336

2. Insert the terminal tool into the female terminal, and then remove the terminal tool.
NOTE: Make sure you do not select a terminal tool that is larger than the mating male terminal
because it would spread the female terminal and cause a loose fit.
3. Compare the drag to the other terminals in the connector. If the drag is less, replace the terminal
with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

INTRODUCTION
Beginning with some 2007 models, Honda is using a second type of TPMS (tire pressure
monitoring system) that does not use initiators like the 2006 and earlier
TPMS.
All TPMS sensors:
^ Are mounted on the inside of the rim, connected to the valve stem.
^ Use a wireless transmission to send tire pressure and temperature information to the TPMS unit.
^ Use non-replaceable batteries. To save battery life, the sensors turn on only when the vehicle is
being used.
Initiator-Type TPMS (Location-Type TPMS)
*The first type of TPMS (all vehicles through 2006) uses initiators mounted above each wheel.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the initiators send out a low frequency signal to turn on
the TPMS sensors. The initiator, in conjunction with the TPMS control unit, determines the tire
location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the customer sees the low tire pressure
indicator and an indiction that the right front tire is low on pressure. The initiator-type TPMS, or
location-type TPMS (in the HDS), is used on the 2005-08 Pilot, the 2006-08 Ridgeline, and the
2005-08 Odyssey Touring models.*
Initiator-less TPMS (No Location-Type TPMS)
The new TPMS does not use initiators. The TPMS sensors have a built-in acceleration sensor that
turns on the TPMS sensors when the vehicle speed reaches about 25 mph. Without an initiator, the
TPMS control unit cannot determine tire location. For example, if the right front tire is low on air, the
customer sees only the low pressure indicator and must check all four tires to find the problem tire.
During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit provides a code for each tire.

NOTE:
^ During diagnosis, the TPMS control unit gives a tire number, but you need to do the sensor
position check to find the location of the tire number.
^ Use with HDS software version 2.011.010 or later. The initiator-less TPMS, or no location-type
TPMS, is used on vehicles affected by this bulletin.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor
Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S)
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the three way
catalytic converter (TWC), and sends signals to the ECM/PCM which varies the duration of fuel
injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The ECM/PCM
compares the HO2S output with the A/F sensor output to determine catalyst efficiency. The
secondary HO2S is located on the TWC.

air can get into the system.
^ Do not loosen the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot, or hot coolant may spray
out. Allow the engine and radiator to cool before loosening the radiator cap.
1. With the engine and radiator cool, open the radiator cap, and place the cap loosely on the filler
neck, but do not tighten it.

2. Start the engine, and let the vehicle idle until the engine is warm and the cooling fan has cycled
on and off twice.
3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), and remove the radiator cap.
4. Fill the radiator with coolant to the base of the filler neck, and fill the coolant reservoir to the MAX
mark.
NOTE:
^ Use only Honda Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
^ Do not add water to Honda Long Life Antifreeze / Coolant Type 2.
5. Install and tighten the radiator cap, then let the engine cool to ambient temperature.
NOTE:
^ Blow air over the engine with an electric fan to cool it more quickly.
^ The coolant level in the reservoir should drop from the MAX mark and approach the MIN mark as
the engine cools. If the coolant level does
not drop, check for cooling system leaks or a faulty radiator cap. A leak between the hose fitting on
the filler neck and the hose inside the coolant reservoir will cause the same condition.
6. When the engine is cool, fill the coolant reservoir to the MAX mark.

TPMS Indicator Reset

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Service and Repair TPMS Indicator Reset
System Indicator Locations
The system has two indicators. The low tire pressure indicator (A)
— The TPMS indicator (B)
How TPMS Works
The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) has a low tire pressure indicator, and a TPMS
indicator. When the TPMS control unit detects low pressure in a tire, or a problem in the system, it
turns on the appropriate indicator. If low tire pressure is detected in one or more tires, the low tire pressure indicator comes on.
— If a problem in the system is detected, the TPMS indicator comes on.
— If low tire pressure and a problem in the system are detected, only the TPMS indicator comes on.
If the system is OK, the TPMS indicator and the low tire pressure indicator should come on when
you turn the ignition switch ON (II), and then go off 2 seconds later. If they don’t, there is a problem
with the system.
If the system detects low pressure in any of the four tires, the low tire pressure indicator comes on,
and the control unit will sets one or more of these codes: DTC 11, 13, 15, 17. When the tire
pressure returns to normal, the control unit turns off the indicators and stores the DTC(s). However,
if the control unit detects a problem in the system during an indication of low tire pressure, it turns
off the low tire pressure indicator, stores the DTC(s), and turns on the TPMS indicator(s).
NOTE: Tire pressure increases slightly as the temperature in the tires rises during driving at
highway speeds. Pressure also increases or decreases slightly with changes in outside air
temperature. A temperature change of about 18°F (10°C) changes tire pressure by about 10 kPa

(0.1 kgf/cm2, 1.5 psi). If the temperature drops, tire pressure could decrease just enough to turn on
the low tire pressure indicator, but later, the tire temperature could increase enough to turn the
indicator off. To resolve a complaint of such intermittent indications, confirm and clear the stored
DTC(s) and check the tire pressures. Then explain to the customer how temperature changes can
affect the system, especially when tire pressures are near the low end of the TPMS normal range 175 to 220 kPa (11.8 to 2.2 kgf/cm2, 25 to 32 psi).
If a problem is detected in the system, the TPMS indicator comes on and stays on until the system
returns to normal with most DTCs. If DTC 81, 83, or 85 is set, the TPMS indicator goes off only
when the ignition switch is turned off.
When a flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the TPMS indicator comes on (DTC 32, 34, 36, or
38) because the system is no longer receiving the signal from the flat tire’s transmitter. This is not a
problem with the spare tire.

Circuit Schematics

Each schematic represents one circuit. A circuit’s wires and components are arranged to show
current flow, from power at the top of the diagram, to ground at the bottom.
Shared Circuits
Other circuits may share power or ground terminals or wiring with the circuit shown. A wire that
connects one circuit to another, for example, is cut short and has an arrowhead at the end of it
pointing in the direction of current flow. Next to the arrowhead is the name of the circuit or
component which shares that wiring. To quickly check shared wiring, check the operation of a
component it serves. If that component works, you know the shared wiring is OK.

13. Plug in the heat gun, and turn it on. Start at the middle of the splice connector, and move the
gun toward the ends as the tube shrinks. Apply heat
evenly by rotating the curved heat spreader around the splice connector. Shrinking is complete
when a small amount of sealant appears at each end of the tube.
NOTE: Be careful when working with the high heat produced by the heat gun.
Pigtail Terminal Selection Chart
PIGTAIL TERMINAL SELECTION CHART
Select the proper size pigtail terminal by matching the replacement terminal part number and the
wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fit of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS

How to Identify Connector Terminals

How to Identify Connector Terminals
Connector terminals are numbered according to the cavities they are in. The cavities are numbered
starting from the upper left, looking at the male terminals from the terminal side or looking at the
female terminals from the wire side. Both views are in the same direction so the numbers are the
same. All actual cavities are numbered, even if they have no wire terminals in them.
NOTE: Data Link Connector (DLC) terminals are numbered according to SAE standard J1962, not
the Honda standard. The numbers of the four end terminals are molded into the corners of the
connector face.

with a replacement terminal from the appropriate
terminal repair kit.
Five-Step Troubleshooting
Five-Step Troubleshooting
1. Verify The Complaint
Turn on all the components in the problem circuit to check the accuracy of the customer complaint.
Note the symptoms. Do not begin disassembly or testing until you have narrowed down the
problem area.
2. Analyze The Schematic
Look up the schematic for the problem circuit. Determine how the circuit is supposed to work by
tracing the current paths from the power source through the circuit components to ground (certain
circuits contain a «How the Circuit Works» Diagram set). Also, trace circuits that share wiring with
the problem circuit. The names of circuits that share the same fuse, ground, or switch, and so on,
are referred to in each circuit schematic. Try to operate any shared circuits you didn’t check in step
1. If the shared circuits work, the shared wiring is OK, and the cause must be in the wiring used
only by the problem circuit. If several circuits fail at the same time, the fuse or ground is a likely

cause.
Based on the symptoms and your understanding of the circuit’s operation, identify one or more
possible causes.
3. Isolate The Problem By Testing The Circuit
Make circuit tests to check the diagnosis you made in step 2. Keep in mind that a logical, simple
procedure is the key to efficient troubleshooting. Test for the most likely cause of failure first. Try to
make tests at points that are easily accessible.
4. Fix The Problem
Once the specific problem is identified, make the repair. Be sure to use proper tools and safe
procedures.
5. Make Sure The Circuit Works
Turn on all components in the repaired circuit in all modes to make sure you’ve fixed the entire
problem. If the problem was a blown fuse, be sure to test all of the circuits on that fuse. Make sure
no new problems turn up and the original problem does not recur.
Test Equipment
Test Equipment
CAUTION: Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a
1O-megaohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on
circuits that contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Test Light and DVOM
On circuits without solid-state devices, use a test light to check for voltage. A test light is made up
of a 12 volt bulb with a pair of leads attached. After grounding one lead, touch the other lead to
various points along the circuit where voltage should be present. The bulb will go on if there is
voltage at the point being tested. If you need to know how much voltage is present, use a digital
volt/ohmmeter (DVOM). If, in addition, you need to know exactly how much resistance there is
between two points, use a digital volt/ohmmeter (DVOM).
In the «OHMS» range, the DVOM will measure resistance between two points along a circuit. Low
resistance means good continuity.

wire size being repaired to the corresponding pigtail terminal part number. Then use the color (size)
splice connector listed. In some instances you may also have to match the wire seal style to select
the proper pigtail terminal. Pigtail terminals are available through your parts department, in
quantities of 10, using normal parts ordering procedures.
Checking For Poor Fit of Terminals
CHECKING FOR POOR FIT OF TERMINALS
Loose terminal fit can cause a number of intermittent problems in electrical circuits. By using the
Terminal Inspection Feeler Tool Set you can inspect the terminal fit between the two matching
connectors without removing the terminals from the connector body.
1. Find the terminal tool that best matches the male terminal in the mating connector.

2. Cut off the wire about an inch back from where it connects to the damaged or faulty terminal,
then strip about half of the insulation off that piece.

This will be used to size the wire end of the replacement pigtail terminal.
NOTE: If you are not sure of the wire size, start with a large enough hole on the stripper that will
not nick or cut off any strands of wires.
3. Select a pigtail terminal that matches the original wire at both ends (same kind of terminal and
same diameter bare wire). 4. Select the smallest splice connector (yellow, pink, or blue) that will fit
onto the stripped end of the original wire.
5. Insert the pigtail terminal into the connector cavity; push it in until it locks in place. 6. Lay the
pigtail and the original wire side-by-side, and cut off both ends at once. If you are making more
than one splice, do not cut each pigtail at
the same location; the resulting «lump» of splice connectors would interfere with rewrapping the
harness. Instead, cut the first pigtail close enough to the terminal so you will have room to make
each remaining cut about 20 mm (3/4 inch) farther down on the next pigtail.
7. If you are using a yellow splice connector, strip about 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation off the ends
of both wires. If you are using a pink or blue
splice connector, strip off about 8 mm (5/16 inch) of insulation.
NOTE: If you nick or cut off any strands of wire, try again with the next larger size hole on the
stripper.

1. Before adding any leak-detection dye, check to see if there is dye in the system now.

^ Check for a label in the engine compartment indicating that fluorescent leak-detection dye has
been added to the system.
^ Dye may have been added even though no label is present. To confirm this:
— Put on the fluorescence-enhancing glasses, and remove the low-side service port sealing cap.
— Direct the ultraviolet lamp into the valve stem area. If dye has been previously added, the
lubricant traces will have a bright yellow fluorescent glow. You may need to press the port’s valve
stem briefly to release some lubricant and dye from the system.
^ If there is no dye in the system, go to step 2.
^ If there is dye in the system, go to step 5. Do not add more dye.
2. Add the dye.
NOTE:
Air and moisture must be evacuated from the universal connect set if it is being used for the first
time, or if it has been stored with the control valve open. If the air and moisture have been
evacuated, go to step 3; otherwise do the following:
(a) Attach the empty dye capsule (provided in the dye kit) to the control valve fitting.
(b) Attach the service valve fitting (provided in the kit) to the empty dye capsule.
(c) Attach the low-side hose of the A/C recovery and charging station, and open the quick coupler’s
hand-wheel valve. Then open the control valve (black knob) on the universal connect set.
(d) Following the manufacturer’s instructions for your recovery and charging station, evacuate the
universal connect set for approximately 3 minutes.
(e) When evacuation is complete, be sure the set’s control valve is closed (finger tight), and
disconnect the NC recovery and charging station.
(f) Remove the service valve fitting and the empty dye capsule from the set, and store them for
future use.
NOTE:
^ Check the refrigerant charge level. There must be enough refrigerant in the system to operate the
A/C compressor and to circulate refrigerant oil.
^ If the refrigerant charge is too low, recover the remaining amount and recharge the system before
adding any dye.
(g) Start the vehicle and operate the A/C system. Follow your A/C refrigerant recovery and
charging station’s operating instructions for low-side charging to install the dye.
* NOTE:
Only 0.05 lb (0.02 kg) of refrigerant is needed to push the dye into the A/C system.*
(h) Once the refrigerant charge is programmed, open the control valve on the set to allow the dye
to enter the system.
(i) After the dye capsule clears, allow the low-side of the A/C system to reach its lowest operating
pressure, then quickly close both the service equipment’s low-side coupler valve and the control
valve on the set.

(j) Remove the set from the vehicle by releasing its quick coupler. Remove the empty dye capsule
from the service valve fitting. Return the hose, control valve, and service-valve fitting to the storage
case.
* NOTE:
Store the hose with the control valve closed. This will retain a small amount of refrigerant in the
hose so it does not have to be evacuated the next time you use it.*
(k) Fill out an identification label (provided in the kit), and attach it to a location near the A/C charge
label.

— Most circuits include solid-state devices. Test the voltages in these circuits only with a 10-mega
ohm or higher impedance digital multimeter. Never use a test light or analog meter on circuits that

contain solid-state devices. Damage to the devices may result.
Troubleshooting Tests
Troubleshooting Tests
Testing for Voltage
When testing for voltage at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Connect one lead of the test light to a known good ground, or, if you’re using a digital volt
ohmmeter (DVOM), place it in the appropriate DC
volts range, and connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or DVOM to the point you want to check. 3. If the test light
glows, there is voltage present. If you’re using a DVOM, note the voltage reading. It should be
within one volt of measured battery
voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
NOTE: Always use a DVOM on high impedance circuits. A test light may not glow (even with
battery voltage present).
Testing for Continuity
When testing for continuity at a connector without wire seals, you do not have to separate the two
halves of the connector. Instead, probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of
the connector because dirty, corroded, and bent terminals can cause problems (no electrical
contact = an open).
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the car battery. If you’re using a DVOM, place it in the lowest
«OHMS» range.
2. Connect one lead of a self-powered test light or DVOM to one end of the part of the circuit you
want to test. 3. Connect the other lead to the other end.

17. The TPMS sensor ID learning procedure goes through the same steps as the left front wheel
(see steps 12 thru 15). When the timer starts (the blue bar appears), point and hold the TPMS
sensor tool 10 to 20 inches from the left rear wheel valve stem. Press and hold the large transmit
button for up to 1 minute. The button should flash red. The TPMS sensor tool sends a signal to the
TPMS sensor to turn on and broadcast the TPMS sensor ID to the TPMS control unit.
NOTE:
^ If the sensor IDs appear without the TPMS sensor tool button being pushed, a TPMS sensor is
transmitting. Select the Exit button, wait 5 minutes for the sensor to go to sleep, then follow the
on-screen prompts.
^ If the sensor does not respond (no sensor IDs are displayed), rotate the tire one-quarter turn and
try again. If the TPMS sensor does not respond after one full rotation of the tire, switch the tire to a
known-good location and try again. If the TPMS sensor still does not respond after one full rotation
of the tire, replace the TPMS sensor.
