Retrieving Codes

With ignition off, insert jumper wire in service check connector terminals, located near center console on Prelude. See Fig 1 . Turn ignition switch to ON position. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will be indicated by a series of long and short flashes on MIL. The number of long flashes indicates the number in the 10s column. The number of short flashes indicates the number in the 1s column. For example, 4 long flashes followed by 3 short flashes would indicate DTC 43.

See TROUBLE CODE DEFINITION  table and proceed to appropriate TROUBLE CODE CHART for testing. All voltage tests should be performed with a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM) with a minimum 10-megohm input impedance, unless specifically stated differently in testing procedure.
