SERVICE INFORMATION
In the February 07 issue of ServiceNews, we told you about a fix for a software glitch in the Honda Electrical System Analyzer (ED-18). (See the article "SOFTWARE UPDATE FIXES ED-18 SYSTEM TEST GLITCH "RIPPLE EXCESSIVE" ." )
All Acura dealerships were sent an ED-18 Update Utility Software Kit (T/N MTRESU18H2). Make sure your ED-18 has this software installed; it fixes the glitch. If you're not sure whether your ED-18 has this software, there's a really easy way to check. Just turn on the ED-18, select Reports , and then Version . You should see 193-570H in the display.
If you don't see that version, you'll need to update the software. Just hook up the ED-18 to a fully charged 12-volt battery, load the utility CD into a PC or laptop, plug in the interface cable, push the ED-18's power button, and follow the prompts on the PC's or laptop's display screen. When the update is complete, you'll see SUCCESS...Update Complete! on the screen. You'll also see UPDATE COMPLETE on the ED-18s display screen.
