Honda Element. Manual — part 31

Malfunction Threshold

The engine speed is 2,200 rpm or more for at least 3.5 seconds.

Confirmation Procedure with the HDS

Do the ETCS TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

Driving Pattern

1. Allow the engine to cool to an ambient engine coolant temperature of 140 °F (60 °C) or less.

2. Start the engine, and let it idle for at least 10 seconds.

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 trips in which the diagnostic
runs.

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.

General Description

The alternator is driven by the engine, and it generates electricity to supply the necessary power to the electrical
system and to charge the battery. The alternator voltage target values of 14.5 V and 12.5 V are achieved by
switching the alternator control mode (controlled by the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control
module (PCM)). The alternator output signal is sent to the ECM/PCM, and it varies according to the battery's
state of charge, the electrical load, and engine speed.

When the IGP (power source) terminal voltage is a set value or less for a set time, the ECM/PCM detects a
malfunction and a DTC is stored.

Conditions for illuminating the indicator

When a malfunction is detected, the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the ECM/PCM memory. The
MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC

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

General Description

If there is a short to ground in the harness between the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module
(PCM) and the PGM-FI main relay 1, the PGM-FI main relay 1 stays ON even though the ignition switch is
OFF, and the ECM/PCM remains active. However, the engine is not running because the power for the gauges,
the ignition, and the fuel pump is turned OFF by the ignition switch.

When the ECM/PCM operates for a fixed time or more after the ignition switch is turned OFF, a malfunction is
detected and a DTC is stored.
