Immobilizer-Keyless Control Unit Input Test

2020 Honda HR-V LX, FWDSECTION Immobilizer-Keyless Control Unit Input Test

NOTE: 

  • SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations , and precautions and procedures before performing repairs or servicing.
  • Before testing, make sure the No. B21 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box is OK.
  • Before testing, make sure the No. C32 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box is OK.

1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

2. Disconnect the immobilizer-keyless control unit 7P connector.

3. Inspect the connector and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

  • If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
  • If the terminals are OK, go to step 4.

4. With the connector still disconnected, do the following input tests:

  • If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
  • If all the input tests prove OK, go to step 5.
Cavity Wire Terminal name Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
2 BLU S-NET Jump the SCS line with the HDS, disconnect PCM connector A (51P) Measure the voltage to ground: There should be about 5 V.
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
  • A short to ground in the wire
Check for continuity between the terminal and PCM connector A (51P) terminal No. 17: There should be continuity.
  • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
Disconnect the 12 volt battery negative terminal Measure the resistance between the terminal and body ground: There should be more than 50 kΩ.
  • Faulty under-dash fuse/relay box
  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire

5. Reconnect the connector to the immobilizer-keyless control unit, do the following input tests:

NOTE:  After replacing the immobilizer-keyless control unit, and do the immobilizer key registration .

Cavity Wire Terminal name Test condition Test: Desired result Possible cause if desired result is not obtained
7 RED +B BACK UP Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. B21 (10 A) fuse in the under-hood fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
6 WHT IG1 FUEL PUMP Vehicle ON mode Measure the voltage to ground: There should be battery voltage.
  • Blown No. C32 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box
  • An open or high resistance in the wire
1 BLK GND In all power modes Measure the voltage to ground: There should be less than 0.2 V.
  • Poor ground (G401)
  • An open or high resistance in the ground wire
3 LT BLU K LINE Under all conditions Measure the voltage to ground: There should be pulse voltage (digital signal).
  • Faulty control unit on the K LINE
  • Short to ground in the K LINE wire
RENDER: 1.0x

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
