Starter Circuit Troubleshooting
With i-SHIFT
NOTE:
  • Air temperature must be between 15−38 °C (59−100 °F) during this procedure.
  • After this inspection, you must reset engine control module (ECM), otherwise the ECM will continue to stop the fuel injectors from functioning. Select ECM reset using the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS).
  • The battery must be in good condition and fully charged.

Is the fuse OK?
YES -
Go to Step 2 .
NO -
Replace the fuse and recheck.■
  1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC).
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  1. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the ECM. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
  1. Check the BRAKE SWITCH in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Dose it indicate OFF?
YES -
Go to Step 6 .
NO -
Inspect the brake pedal position switch. ■
  1. Press the brake pedal, and check the BRAKE SWITCH in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
Dose it indicate ON?
YES -
Go to Step 14 .
NO -
Go to Step 7 .
  1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  1. Disconnect the brake pedal position switch 4P connector.
  1. Measure the voltage between brake pedal position switch 4P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there battery voltage?
YES -
Go to Step 10 .
NO -
Repair open in the wire between the brake pedal position switch 4P connector terminal No. 1 and under-hood fuse/relay box.■
  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, then turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
