Inclination Sensor Initial Learn Procedure

NOTE:
The inclination sensor initial learn procedure must be done with the HDS when:
? The PCM is replaced.
? The inclination sensor is removed/installed, or replaced.
? The inclination sensor malfunction occurs.
There are two procedures depending on a work area:
? On a level ground; the learning procedure is performed once.
? On a slope; the learning procedure must be performed twice.
Do the procedure twice when a work area is not verified the level.
If the inclination sensor initial learn procedure is not carried out, the R indicator in the gauge control module will come on or blink.
Do the procedure with a one-man, in a vibration free environment, and do not develop the vibration during the procedure.
If any DTCs were indicated with the HDS, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting first.
The learning of the inclination sensor initial settings overwrites the existing driving information data of the inclination sensor system in the PCM.

1. Inclination Sensor - Initial Learn Procedure


On a Level Ground

1.
Apply the parking brake.

2.
Check the tire pressures, refer to the tire information label on the driver's doorjamb. Adjust the pressures to the specified value if necessary.

3.
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.

NOTE: For specific operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS). Make sure the HDS is loaded with the latest software.

4.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

5.
Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting.

6.
Select the Inclination Sensor Learn in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, then select the Inclination Sensor Initial Learn Procedure and learning procedure once with the HDS.

7.
Follow the HDS screen, and learn the initial settings. The inclination sensor initial learn procedure is completed when the HDS indicates the TEST COMPLETE.

NOTE: If the HDS does not indicate the TEST COMPLETE, follow the HDS screen and learn again.






On a Slope

1.
Apply the parking brake.

2.
Check the tire pressures, refer to the tire information label on the driver's doorjamb. Adjust the pressures to the specified value if necessary.

3.
Make the aligning marks on all tires and ground.

4.
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.

NOTE: For specific operations, refer to the user's manual that came with the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS). Make sure the HDS is loaded with the latest software.

5.
Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

6.
Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle. If it does not communicate, go to the DLC circuit troubleshooting.

7.
Select the Inclination Sensor Learn in the Miscellaneous Test Menu, then select the Inclination Sensor Initial Learn Procedure and learning procedure twice with the HDS.

8.
Follow the HDS screen, and do the first learning procedure.

9.
Turn the vehicle around to do the second procedure from the front to the rear. Park the vehicle with aligning the marks on the tires with the marks on the ground, and apply the parking brake.

10.
Follow the HDS screen, and do the second procedure. The inclination sensor initial learn procedure is completed when the HDS indicates the TEST COMPLETE.

NOTE: If the HDS does not indicate the TEST COMPLETE, follow the HDS screen and learn again.
