System Input Test and Function Test
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Honda Odyssey and 2005 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Connect the HDS to the DLC.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- From the BODY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SELECT menu, select POWER SEAT/POWER MIRROR, then DTCs.
- If DTCs are found, troubleshoot the DTCs using B-CAN System Diagnostic Test Mode A (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE A ).
- If no DTCs are found, go to step 4.
- Exit the DTC mode and select DATA LIST from the POWER SEAT/POWER MIRROR TEST MODE menu.
- Test each input and monitor each output under the condition listed below.
- If the data list indication is correct, continue to the next switch. If all switches are OK, go to step 6.
- If the data list indication is not correct, perform the appropriate test at the control unit and terminal indicated in the table.
- - Volt drop tests should be performed with the ignition switch ON (II) and all connectors connected and the meter negative test lead attached to a good body ground.
- - Continuity tests should be performed with the ignition switch OFF and indicated terminals disconnected.
