    Is DTC P16E2 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Go to step 7.

  3. Determine possible failure area (short in LIN/LIN (ACG) line, others)

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

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Go to step 4.

    NO 

    The LIN/LIN (ACG) wire is not shorted. Go to step 5.

  4. Shorted wire check (LIN/LIN (ACG) line)

    - 1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 2. Continue to check for continuity between 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground, while disconnecting these connectors, one at a time:

    • PCM connector A (50P)
    • Alternator 1P connector
    • DC-DC converter connector A (3P)

    Does continuity go away when one of the above connectors is disconnected?

    YES 

    The LIN/LIN (ACG) wire is OK. Replace the part that caused an open when it was disconnected.

    NO 

    Repair a short in the LIN/LIN (ACG) wire between the PCM (A24), the alternator, the 12 volt battery fan motor, and the DC-DC converter.

  5. Determine possible failure area (12 volt fan motor, others)

    - 1. Reconnect the 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Alternator 1P connector

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    Alternator 1P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 Alternator 1P connector (female terminals) No. 1:
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH307869Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Replace the 12 volt battery fan motor .

    NO 

    Go to step 6.

  6. Open wire check (LIN/LIN (ACG) line)

    - 1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

    - 2. Disconnect the following connectors.

    PCM connector A (50P)
    12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
    PCM connector A (50P): disconnected
    Alternator 1P connector: disconnected
    12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector: disconnected
    Test point 1 12 volt battery fan motor 3P connector (male terminals) No. 2:
    Test point 2 PCM connector A (50P) No. 24 - Refer to:
    PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs (19-21 9-Speed A/T)
