System Check and Status Log
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2014 Honda Ridgeline, 2013 Honda Ridgeline, 2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2011 Honda Ridgeline, and 2010 Honda Ridgeline. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The HDS can be used to:
- Check the state of the immobilizer key registration and the IMOCD line by doing a SYSTEM CHECK (see System Check ).
- Check the number of times the immobilizer control unit-receiver doesn't permit the engine to run by checking the STATUS LOG (see Status Log ).
- Connect the HDS to the data link connector, then turn the ignition switch to ON (II) and follow the prompts to the SYSTEM SELECTION MENU.NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate with the vehicle, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
- At SYSTEM SELECTION MENU, enter IMMOBI, then select the IMMOBILIZER SET UP.
- Do the SYSTEM CHECK (see System Check ). If there is a system check number, do the troubleshooting for the item indicated.
- Check the STATUS LOG using the HDS. Troubleshoot the line with the highest counts first (see STATUS LOG ). If all the lines are "0" zero, the problem may not be caused by the immobilizer system; check for ignition or fuel problems.NOTE: Once repaired, clear the status log by removing the No. 7 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box or disconnecting the battery.
