How to Clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes

ERASING THE DTC MEMORY

To erase the DTC(s) from the SRS unit, use a Honda PGM Tester (see the Honda PGM Tester SRS Vehicle System Supplement) or the following procedure.

NOTE: Use the SCS service connector instead of a jumper wire. Otherwise, you may not erase the memory, because it is awkward to connect and disconnect a jumper wire quickly enough.

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and disconnect the SCS service connector from the service check connector.
2. Connect the SCS service connector to the MES connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).





4. The SRS indicator light comes on for about six seconds and goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MES connector within four seconds after the SRS indicator light went off.
5. The SRS indicator light comes on again. Reconnect the SCS service connector to the MES connector within four seconds after the SRS indicator comes on.
6. The SRS indicator light goes off. Remove the SCS service connector from the MES connector within four seconds.
7. The SRS indicator light indicates that the memory is erased by blinking two times.
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and wait two to three seconds.
9. Turn the ignition switch ON (II) again; the SRS indicator light should come on and go off after about six seconds. Confirm that it does not come on again after another 30 seconds.
10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
