DTC Troubleshooting: P0A11(3.0L Engine): Inspection

DC_STS Circuit Inspection 

NOTICE: 

Before disconnecting the PCM connector, jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

Test Procedure 

• Preparation
• • DC-DC converter connector A (3P): disconnected
  • PCM connector B (72P): disconnected

• Procedure
• • Perform the inspection according to the following table.

			(Disconnected)DC-DC converter connector A (3P)female terminals	(Disconnected) PCM connector B (72P) - Refer to: PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs(3.0L Engine) or PCM Connector for Inputs and Outputs(2.0L Engine) female terminals
		IG Mode	Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.	Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.	Normal Conditions
	DC_STS open wire inspection	OFF			There is less than 1 Ohm
	Refer to the Open/Shorted Wire Inspection Description for the method to inspect the shorted circuit below, then start to inspect according to circumstances.
	DC_STS shorted to power inspection	ON			Not shorted

Results 

• If abnormal, there is a problem in the circuit.

DC-DC Converter Inspection 

Test Procedure 

• Install a known-good DC-DC converter and attempt to reproduce the failure.

Results 

• If the failure is reproduced, there is a problem with other related components.
• If the symptom/DTC goes away, the DC-DC converter must be faulty.

PCM Inspection 

Test Procedure 

• If the other inspection item(s) indicated a normal condition, then it is determined that the remaining PCM is the cause.

Results 

• There is a problem with the PCM.
