Status Log

Status Log

'06-08 models

If you suspect there is an 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 disconnecting the negative battery terminal or by removing the No. 25 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box, or by disconnecting the 7P connector from the immobilizer control 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.
