How to Use the HDS (Honda Diagnostic System)

1. 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.





2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the VSA modulator-control unit. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
4. 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.
