ECM/PCM Data
By connecting the OBD-II scan tool or the Honda PGM Tester to the 16P data link connector (DLC), various data can be retrieved from the ECM/PCM. The items listed in the table below conform to the SAE recommended practice.
The Honda PGM Tester also reads data beyond that recommended by SAE.
Understanding this data will help to find the causes of intermittent failures or engine problems.
NOTE:
- The "operating values" given below are approximate values and may be different depending on the environment and the individual vehicle.
- Unless noted otherwise, "at idle speed" means idling with the engine completely warmed up, transmission in position or P or N, and the A/C and all accessories turned off.
