Data | Description | Operating Value | Freeze Data |
---|---|---|---|
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) | If the PCM detects a problem, it will store it as a code consisting of one letter and four numbers. Depending on the problem, an SAE-defined code (P0xxx) or a Honda-defined code (P1xxx) will be output to the tester. | If no problem is detected, there is no output. | YES |
Engine Speed | The PCM computes engine speed from the signals sent from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. This data is used for determining the time and amount of injected fuel. | Nearly the same as tachometer indication At idle speed: L13A4 engine: 750±50 rpm (min-1) | YES |
Vehicle Speed | The PCM converts pulse signals from the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). | Nearly the same as speedometer indication | YES |
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) | The absolute pressure caused in the intake manifold by engine load and speed. | With engine stopped: Nearly the same as atmospheric pressure At idle speed: about 20-34 kPa (150-260 mmHg, 6-10 in.Hg), 0.7-1.1 V | YES |
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) | The ECT sensor converts coolant temperature into voltage and signals the PCM. The sensor is a thermistor whose internal resistance changes with coolant temperature. The PCM uses the voltage signals from the ECT sensor to determine the amount of injected fuel. | With cold engine: Same as ambient temperature and IAT With engine warmed up: about 80-100°C (176-212°F), 0.5-0.8 V | YES |
Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S), (Sensor 1) Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S) (Sensor 2) | The HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends voltage signals to the PCM. Based on these signals, the PCM controls the air fuel ratio. When the oxygen content is high (that is, when the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal is lower. When the oxygen content is low (that is, when the radio is richer than the stoichiometric ratio), the voltage signal is higher. | 0.0-1.25 V At idle speed: about 0.1-0.9 V | NO |
Data | Description | Operating Value | Freeze Data |
---|---|---|---|
Fuel System Status | Fuel system status is indicated as ''open'' or ''closed''. Closed: Based on the A/F sensor and HO2S output, the PCM determines the air/fuel ratio and controls the amount of injected fuel. Open: ignoring the A/F sensor and HO2S output, the PCM refers to signals from the throttle position (TP), manifold absolute pressure (MAP), intake air temperature (IAT), barometric pressure (BARO) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensors to control the amount of injected fuel. | At idle speed: closed | YES |
Short Term Fuel Trim | The air/fuel ratio correction coefficient for correcting the amount of injected fuel when the Fuel System Status is ''closed.'' When the ratio is leaner than the stoichiometric ratio, the PCM increases short term fuel trim gradually, and the amount of injected fuel increases. The air/fuel ratio gradually gets richer, causing a lower oxygen content in the exhaust gas. Consequently, the short term fuel trim is lowered, and the PCM reduces the amount of injected fuel. This cycle keeps the air/fuel ratio close to the stoichiometric ratio when in closed loop status. | 0.70-1.47 | YES |
Long Term Fuel Trim | Long term fuel trim is computed from short term fuel trim and indicates changes occurring in the fuel supply system over a long period. If long term fuel trim is higher than 1.00, the amount of injected fuel must be increased. If it is lower than 1.00, the amount of injected fuel must be reduced. | 0.80-1.20 | YES |
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) | The IAT sensor converts intake air temperature into voltage and signals the PCM. When intake air temperature is low, the internal resistance of the sensor increases, and the voltage signal is higher. | With cold engine: Same as ambient temperature and ECT | YES |
Throttle Position | Based on the accelerator pedal position, the opening angle of the throttle valve is indicated. | At idle speed: about 10 %, 0.5 V | YES |
Ignition Timing | Ignition timing is the ignition advance angle set by the PCM. The PCM matches ignition timing to the driving conditions. | At idle speed: 8° ± 5°BTDC when the SCS service signal line is jumped with the HDS | NO |
Caluculated Load Valve (CLV) | CLV is the engine load calculated from the MAP data. | At idle speed: 12-34 % At 2,500 rpm (min-1) with no load: 15-25 % | YES |
NOTE: Standard battery voltage is 12 V.

The CMP (TDC) sensor detects the position of the No. 1 cylinder as a reference for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder.
The CKP sensor detects engine speed and is used by the PCM to determine ignition timing and timing for fuel injection of each cylinder.
The ECT sensor is a temperature dependent resistor (thermistor). The resistor of the thermistor decreases as the engine coolant temperature increases.
The PCM controls the ignition phase gap between the front and rear spark plugs in accordance with the engine speed and the vacuum in the intake manifold.
The IAT sensor is a temperature dependant resistor (thermistor). The resistance of the thermistor decreases as the intake air temperature increases.
The knock control system adjusts the ignition timing to minimize knock.
The MAP sensor converts manifold absolute pressure into electrical signals to the PCM.
The primary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas and sends signals to the PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The primary HO2S is installed in the exhaust manifold. By controlling the air fuel ratio with primary HO2S and secondary HO2S, the deterioration of the primary HO2S can be evaluated by its feedback period. When the feedback period exceeds a certain value during stable driving conditions, the sensor is considered deteriorated and the PCM sets a DTC.
The secondary HO2S detects the oxygen content in the exhaust gas downstream of the Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) and sends signals to the PCM which varies the duration of fuel injection accordingly. To stabilize its output, the sensor has an internal heater. The secondary HO2S is installed in the TWC.
The TP sensor is a potentiometer connected to the throttle valve shaft. As the throttle position changes, the sensor varies the signal voltage to the PCM. The TP sensor is not available separately from the throttle body.
To maintain the proper idle speed, the IAC valve changes the amount of air bypassing the throttle body in response to an electrical signal from the PCM.
The throttle body is a single-barrel side draft type. The lower portion of the IAC valve is heated by engine coolant from the cylinder head.
The TWC converts hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gas to carbon dioxide (CO2), dinitrogen (N2), and water vapor.
The PCV valve prevents blow-by gasses from escaping into the atmosphere by venting them into the intake manifold.
This system supplies air for engine needs. A resonator in the intake air pipe provides additional silencing as air is drawn into the system.
The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by recirculating exhaust gas through the EGR valve and the intake manifold into the combustion chambers. The PCM memory includes the ideal EGR valve position for varying operating conditions.
The EGR valve position sensor detects the amount of EGR valve lift and sends it to the PCM. The PCM then compares it with the ideal lift in its memory (based on signals sent from other sensors). If there is any difference between the two, the PCM cuts current to the EGR valve.
The EVAP controls minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. Vapor from the fuel tank is temporally stored in the EVAP canister until it can be purged from the EVAP canister into the engine and burned.
