Service Check Signal (SCS) Circuit Method

With the ignition switch off, connect the Honda PGM Tester to the 16-Pin Data Link Connector located under ashtray. Short the SCS circuit-to-body ground using the Honda PGM Tester. Press the brake pedal. Turn the ignition switch ON while keeping the brake pedal pressed.

After the ABS indicator goes OFF, release the brake pedal. After the ABS indicator comes back ON, press the brake pedal again. After the ABS indicator goes OFF, release the brake pedal again. You cannot clear the DTCs unless these conditions are met:

After a few seconds, the ABS indicator blinks twice and the DTC is cleared. If the indicator does not blink twice, repeat all previous steps. If the indicator stays on after the indicator blinks twice, check the DTC because a problem was detected during initial diagnosis before shifting to DTC clearing mode. See Fig 1 . Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the PGM Tester from the DLC.
