MIL Circuit Troubleshooting

1.Connect the HDS or the scan tool.

2.Turn the ignition switch ON (II) and read the scan tool/Honda PGM Tester.

Does the HDS or the scan tool communicate with the ECM/PCM?


YES - Go to then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


NO - Check for an open in the wires between the ECM/PCM (E31) and the gauge assembly. Also check for a blown MIL bulb. If the wires and the bulb are OK, replace the gauge assembly.n


21.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

22.Inspect the No. 20 (15A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?


YES - Go to then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.
Also replace the No. 20 (15A) fuse.n


28.Disconnected the connectors of all following items.

  • PGM-FI main relay 2
  • ECM/PCM connector A (31P)
  • Injectors
  • IAC valve
  • CMP (TDC) sensor
  • CKP sensor

29.Check for continuity between PGM-FI main relay 1 4P connector terminals No. 1 and body ground.
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


34.Remove the driver's side under cover.

35.Remove the relay holder (A) from the under-dash fuse/relay box, and remove the PGM-FI main relay 2, (blue) (B) from the relay holder (A), after reinstall the relay holder (A) to the under-dash fuse/relay box.
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


NO - Repair open in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1 and the ECM/PCM (E7).n

50.Reconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).

51.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

52.Measure voltage between body ground and ECM/PCM connector terminals A2 and A3 individually.
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


68.Measure voltage between body ground and ECM/PCM connector terminals A20.
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


NO - Go to then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


75.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

76.Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

77.Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal E29 and body ground.
then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n


81.Turn the ignition switch OFF.

82.Disconnect the ECM/PCM connector E (31P).

83.Turn the ignition ON (II).

Is the MIL ON?


YES - Repair short in the wire between the gauge assembly and the ECM/PCM (E31). If the wires are OK, replace the gauge assembly.n


NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.n
