NOTE:
This article applies to '03-06 Accords, '05-06 Accord Hybrids, '05-06 CR-Vs, '03-06 Elements, '05-06 Odysseys, '05-06 Pilots, and '06 Ridgelines. These models have on-board snapshot (OBS) capability.

Got some A/T or PGM-FI DTC troubleshooting to do? Make the HDS your troubleshooting work buddy. Don't go with a generic scan tool. Only the HDS can send freeze/OBS data to Tech Line. This data is crucial for monitoring market trends and helping to identify root causes of problems.
