System Check
2009 Honda Odyssey EX-LSECTION System Check
- Connect the HDS to the data link connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- Monitor the System Check in the Immobilizer Info with the HDS.
- If the HDS displays the "Immobilizer system is normal", the immobilizer system is OK. If the HDS displays any other messages, check as follows:SYSTEM CHECK CHART
Status Log No. System Check Possible Failures A-1 The key is not registered - This key is not registered in the immobilizer control unit-receiver. Try to register keys using the HDS.
- Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of interference caused by items such as key chains.
- Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of low battery voltage
A-2 Communication error between the key and immobilizer control unit-receiver - Intermittent interruption between transponder and immobilizer control unit-receiver.
- The immobilizer key type is different. It is not for this vehicle but for another one or for other company's one.
- Key failure (transponder failure)
- The communication was not good between the antenna and the immobilizer key by influence of metal such as key chains.
- Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of low battery voltage.
A-3 No communication between the key and immobilizer control unit-receiver - The ignition switch was turned on with a non-immobilizer key.
- The immobilizer key type is different. It is not for this vehicle but for another one or for other company's one.
- Key failure (transponder failure)
- Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of interference caused by items such as key chains.
- Poor communication between the antenna and the immobilizer key because of low battery voltage.
- Immobilizer control unit-receiver failure
B-1 The PCM is not registered - The PCM was not registered. Try to register the PCM using the HDS. .
- Poor communication between the ECM/PCM and the immobilizer control unit-receiver because of low battery voltage.
- Poor communication between the immobilizer control unit-receiver and the PCM because of interference.
B-2 Error of communication format in PCM - The PCM was not registered. Try to register the PCM using the HDS.
- Poor communication between the PCM and the immobilizer control unit-receiver because of low battery voltage.
- Poor communication between the immobilizer control unit receiver and the PCM because of interference.
C-1 IMOES unit is not registered The IMOES unit was not registered correctly. Try to register the IMOES unit using the HDS . C-2 Error of communication format IMOES unit and immobilizer control unit-receiver - IMOES unit was not registered correctly. Try to register the /IMOES unit using the HDS.
- Poor communication between the PCM and the immobilizer control unit-receiver because of low battery voltage.
- Poor communication between the immobilizer control unit-receiver and the PCM by influence of some noise.
D-1 S- NET line short - Harness short from the PCM to the immobilizer control unit-receiver. (S-net line short)
- Poor communication between the PCM and the immobilizer control unit-receiver because of low battery voltage.
- Poor communication between the immobilizer control unit-receiver and the PCM because of electrical interference.
- Immobilizer control unit-receiver failure
- PCM failure
D-2 No communication between IMOES unit and immobilizer control unit-receiver - Blown fuse
- Harness open from the IMOES unit to the immobilizer control unit-receiver.
- Poor communication between the IMOES unit and the immobilizer control unit-receiver because of low battery voltage.
- immobilizer control unit-receiver failure. IMOES unit failure
- Poor communication between the immobilizer control unit-receiver and the IMOES unit because of electrical interference.
- PCM failure
D-3 No communication between PCM and immobilizer control unit-receiver - Blown fuse
- Harness open from the PCM to the immobilizer control unit-receiver.
- Poor communication between the PCM and the immobilizer control unit-receiver because of low battery voltage.
