  6. Open wire check (IG1 DR1 line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      TPMS control unit 20P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit IG1 DR1
    Test point 1 TPMS control unit 20P connector No. 3 (YEL)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH352257Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 DR1 wire is OK. Go to step 7.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the TPMS control unit and the No. D10 (7.5 A) fuse in the driver's under-dash fuse/relay box.

  7. Open wire check (GND line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Reconnect the following connector.

    TPMS control unit 20P connector

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
    Test circuit GND
    Test point 1 TPMS control unit 20P connector No. 8 (BLK)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH352258Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there 0.1 V or more?

    YES 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the wire between the TPMS control unit and body ground (G501).

    NO 

    The GND wire is OK. Go to step 8.

  8. F-CAN circuit communication check

    -1. Select the FUNCTION TEST in the CAN gateway with the HDS, then select the F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check.

    F-CAN Bus Connected Unit Check

    Which result is indicated?

    Gauge control module is Not Available

    Go to step 9.

    TPMS control unit is Not Available

    Go to step 10.

    TPMS control unit and gauge control module are Detected

    Replace the TPMS control unit .

  9. Open wire check (F-CAN A_L, F-CAN A_H lines)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connectors.
