Rewriting the ODO Data and Transferring the Maintenance Minder(TM) Data to a New Gauge Control Module

Removal

1. HDS DLC - Connection





NOTE: For specific operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS). Make sure the HDS is loaded with the latest software.

1. 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. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting.

2. Rewriting The ODO Data and Transferring The Maintenance Minder TM Data to a New Gauge Control Module

NOTE:
* Obtain a new gauge control module before starting the rewriting process.
* Rewriting is not possible on a gauge control module that will not communicate with the HDS.
* Check the official Honda website for more information on how to write odometer information to a gauge control module that will not communicate with the HDS.
* Make sure that the HDS shows the correct VIN for the vehicle you are working on.
* Once you have started this procedure, you must complete it before removing the HDS from the DLC.
* Connect a jumper battery (do not connect a battery charger) to insure that correct battery voltage will be maintained.
