Status Log

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Honda Pilot, 2007 Honda Pilot, and 2006 Honda Pilot. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If you suspect there is a immobilizer system problem, the HDS can be used to check the number of times the immobilizer control unit-receiver doesn't permit the engine to run by checking the status log.

NOTE: The Status Log count can be reset by diconnecting the negative battery terminal or by removing the No. 13 (7.5 A) fuse in the passenger's under-dash fuse/relay box, or by disconnecting the 7P connector from the immobilizercontrol unit-receiver.
  1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector.
  2. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  3. On the HDS screen, select Honda systems, select immobilizer set-up, select immobilizer information, then select status log.
  4. Check the status log count. Troubleshoot the status with the highest count first. If no counts are listed, the immobilizer system is OK. Continue with normal symptom troubleshooting.
