How to Use the HDS (Honda Diagnostic System)
NOTE: Make sure the battery is in good condition and fully charged.
1. If the system indicators stay on, connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle. If it does not, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting
4. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for all systems, troubleshoot the powertrain DTCs first. Then refer to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting, and do the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
NOTE:
- The HDS communication will be stopped when the vehicle speed reaches the disconnect speed.
- The HDS can read the DTC, the current data, and other system data.
- For specific operations, refer to the Help menu that came with the HDS.
