Test Equipment

All voltage tests should be performed by backprobing using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless specifically stated differently in testing procedure. DO NOT use a test light or analog meter to check circuits with solid-state devices. Solid-state devices can be damaged. Ensure all jumper wire(s) include a (5-amp) in-line fuse.

Use 2 Backprobe Sets (07SAZ-001000A) to backprobe Powertrain Control Module (PCM) terminals when directed by testing. See Fig 1 .

DO NOT puncture wire insulation. Place tester probe into contact with terminal from terminal side of wiring harness connector(s) in engine compartment. For female connector(s), touch terminal lightly with tester probe. DO NOT insert probe into terminal.

NOTE: For PCM harness connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION .

NOTE: Circuit tests are written specifically for use with Honda PGM Tester. Other scan tools can be used but may have limited functions.
