ECM/PCM Data

You can retrieve data from the ECM/PCM by connecting the scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the Data Link Connector (DLC). The items listed in the table below conform to SAE recommended practice. The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended by SAE so that this data may help you find the causes of intermittent problems.

NOTE:

- The ''operating values'' listed are approximate and may vary depending on the environment and the individual vehicle.
- Unless noted otherwise, ''at idle speed'' means idling with the engine completely warmed up, A/T in Park or neutral, M/T in neutral position and the A/C and all accessories turned off.

  Data | Description | Operating Value | Freeze Data
  Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) | If the ECM/PCM detects a problem, it will store it as a code consisting of one letter and four numbers. Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code (P0xxx) or a Honda-defined code (P1xxx) will be output to the tester. | If no problem is detected, there is no output. | YES
  Engine Speed | The ECM/PCM computes engine speed from the signals sent from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. This data is used for determining the time and amount of injected fuel. | Nearly the same as tachometer indication At idle speed: 700+50 rpm (min-1) | YES
  Vehicle Speed | The ECM/PCM converts pulse signals from Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). | Nearly the same as speedometer indication | YES
  Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) | The absolute pressure caused in the intake manifold by engine load and speed. | With engine stopped: Nearly the same as atmospheric pressure At idle speed: about 20-34 kPa (150-260 mmHg, 6-10 in.Hg), 0.7-1.1 V | YES
  Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) | The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into voltage and signals the ECM/PCM. The sensor is a thermistor whose internal resistance changes with coolant temperature. The ECM/PCM uses the voltage signals from the ECT sensor to determine the amount of injected fuel. | With cold engine: Same as ambient temperature and IAT With engine warmed up: about 80-100°C (176-212°F), 0.5-0.8 V | YES
  Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (Sensor 1), Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S) (Sensor 2) | The HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals to the ECM/PCM. Based on these signals, the ECM/PCM controls the air fuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high (that is, when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal is lower. When the oxygen content is low (that is, when the radio is richer than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal is higher. | 0.0-1.25 V At idle speed: about 0.1-0.9 V | NO
