How a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is Set

When the system detects a problem, the TPMS control unit sets a code, but shifts to fail-safe mode, and does not alert the driver to low tire pressures
If the TPMS control unit loses power, or fails, the TPMS indicator and the low tire pressure indicator (starts blinking) comes on, but no DTCs are set
The memory can hold all the DTCs that could possibly be set However, when the same DTC is detected more than once, the most recent one overwrites the previous one, so only the latest DTC of each type is stored
DTCs are indicated in ascending order, not in the order they occurred
Set DTCs are stored in the EEPROM (nonvolatile memory), and cannot be cleared by disconnecting the battery To clear a DTC, connect the HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) to the data link connector (DLC), and follow the screen prompts
