How to Use the HDS (Honda Diagnostic System)
NOTE:
Make sure the battery is in good condition and fully charged.
- 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.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the VSA modulator-control unit. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
- Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and note it. Then refer to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING , and do the appropriate troubleshooting procedure.
NOTE:
- 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.
