SERVICE INFORMATION
After you've taken drive recorder snapshots with the Honda Interface Module (HIM), you need to download them to the HDS in order to look at them. Here's how you do it:
- Connect the HIM to the 16P DLC or to an AC/DC power adapter.
- From the main menu on the HDS display screen, touch the open file folder icon on the right side of the screen. This puts the HDS in its stand-alone mode. From the Mode Menu , select Drive Recorder . You see a dialog box asking you if you want to download info from the HIM.
- Use the red communication cable (P/N REDCAT5E) to connect the HIM to the HDS. Touch YES in the dialog box. As the HDS starts downloading the snapshots from the HIM, you see a status bar at the bottom of the screen. Wait for the download to complete (this could take awhile, depending on the number of snapshots). When its done, you see a list of the downloaded snapshots.
- Select the + box next to the VIN of the snapshot you want to take a look at. Select the time you want to see, then touch the green check mark (√) in the lower right corner of the screen. The HDS then displays the selected snapshot.
