How to Check for DTCs with the HDS

1. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF.




2. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
4. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the AcuraLink control unit (XM receiver). If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
5. Select Telematics in the BODY ELECTRICAL menu.
6. Select DTCs in the Telematics CONTROL menu.
7. Check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, write down the DTCs, then go to the indicated DTC troubleshooting. If no DTCs are indicated, refer to symptom troubleshooting.

NOTE:
- After troubleshooting, clear the DTCs with the HDS.
- For specific HDS operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the HDS.
- If there is no HDS available, refer to the multiplex system to read DTCs with the MID.
