Honda Element. Manual — part 33

ENABLE CONDITIONS

Malfunction Threshold

A malfunction is detected whenever the keep alive data retrieval and writing process is not completed normally.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the
ECM/PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic
runs.

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by
disconnecting the battery.

DTC P0630 (139): ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS

DTC P0630: VIN NOT PROGRAMMED OR MISMATCH

Fig. 89: VIN Outputs

General Description

The engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM) stores a vehicle identification number
(VIN) in the keep-alive memory and outputs the VIN according to the command from the HDS.

Condition

Ignition switch

ON

The VIN for each vehicle is registered to the ECM/PCM using the HDS. The registered VIN is read by the CPU
from the keep-alive memory after the ignition is turned on or after the Clear command is executed.

If the VIN is not registered in the keep-alive memory when the ignition is turned on or when the Clear
command is executed, it is detected as a VIN unregistered condition and a DTC is stored.

Fig. 90: Engine Control Module (ECM)/Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Power Control Circuit
Diagram

General Description

After the ignition switch is turned off, the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM)
does not shut down immediately. After finishing a predetermined process according to the request of each
device and system, the power supply is automatically disconnected (self shut-down function). The ECM/PCM
power is disconnected by controlling PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN).

During a normal ECM/PCM shut down, the shut down process is executed by the CPU, PGM-FI main relay 1
(FI MAIN) is turned off, and the voltage to the ECM/PCM is turned off to shut down the ECM/PCM. When the
voltage to the ECM/PCM is turned off and the ECM/PCM shuts down without the normal shut down procedure,
a malfunction in the PGM-FI main relay 1 (FI MAIN) control circuit is detected and a DTC is stored.

ENABLE CONDITIONS

Malfunction Threshold

The ECM/PCM is shut down without the normal shut-down procedure.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the MIL

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Temporary DTC is stored in the ECM/PCM
memory. If the malfunction recurs during the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the
freeze frame data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the MIL

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive drive cycles in which the
engine conditions are similar to the first time the malfunction was detected.

The MIL, the DTC, the Temporary DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear
command or by disconnecting the battery.
