Clearing Fault Codes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1998 Honda Odyssey, 1998 Honda Accord, and 1998 Acura 2.3CL. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Before clearing fault codes, obtain radio anti-theft code from customer. Note radio preset stations, as radio stations and clock setting will be cleared and must be reset. Radio anti-theft code must be reset for radio operation.
- Once repairs have been performed, fault codes must be cleared from PCM memory. A/T control system memory can be cleared 2 ways: Fault codes can be cleared using scan tool. Follow scan tool instructions. To clear fault codes without using scan tool, go to next step.
- Ensure ignition is off. Remove back-up fuse (7.5-amp) from engine compartment fuse/relay box on 2.3CL and Odyssey or from underdash fuse/relay box on Accord for at least 10 seconds. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 . This will clear PCM memory.
- Reinstall fuse. To re-enter radio anti-theft code, turn radio on. When CODE is displayed on radio, re-enter radio anti-theft code by using the radio station preset buttons. Reset clock and radio stations.
