Preliminary Inspection

NOTE: Erasing DTCs with the Honda PGM tester does not require you to do the idle learn procedure.

The idle learn procedure must be done so the PCM can learn the engine idle characteristics. Do the idle learn procedure whenever you do any of these actions:

Reset the PCM.
Remove the battery or disconnect its terminals.
Remove the PCM or disconnect its connectors.
Remove the driver's or passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Remove the BATTERY (120 amp) fuse from the underhood fuse/relay box.
Remove the BACK-UP, ACC (40 amp) fuse from the underhood fuse/relay box.
Remove the No. 13 CLOCK, BACK-UP (15 amp) fuse from the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box.
Remove the PGM-FI main relay.
Disconnect the starter cable terminal from the underhood fuse/relay box.
Disconnect the connectors between the engine wire harness and the left engine compartment wire harness.
Disconnect the connectors between dashboard wire harness "A" and dashboard wire harness "B".
Disconnect the ground terminals, G1, G2, G101, and G102.

To complete the idle learn procedure, perform learn procedure. See LEARN PROCEDURE
