How to Display DTCs on the Gauge Control Module

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Enter B-CAN System Diagnosis Test Mode 1 (see TROUBLESHOOTING - B-CAN SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS TEST MODE 1 AND TEST MODE 2 (WITHOUT THE HDS)  ). While in Test Mode 1, when communication between the MICU and gauge control module is normal, the DTCs which have been detected and stored individually by various B-CAN (Body-controller Area Network) units are shown one by one on the odo/trip display. To scroll through the DTCs, press the SEL/RESET button.
