Honda Element. Manual — part 137

YES -Go to step 4.

NO -Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see
TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot
the DTC.

4. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

5. Check the No. 17 (15 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?

YES -Go to step 6.

NO -Replace the fuse, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the fuse blows again, check for a short in
the No. 17 (15 A) fuse circuit (dashboard wire harness B, floor wire harness, or ODS unit harness).

6. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.

7. Disconnect the SRS unit connector A (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 9 on ).

8. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

9. Connect a voltmeter between the No. 17 terminal of SRS unit connector A (28P) and body ground. Turn

the ignition switch ON (II), and measure the voltage. There should be battery voltage when the ignition is
on.

Fig. 215: Measuring Voltage Between SRS Unit Connector A (28P) Terminal 17 And Body Ground

Is there battery voltage?

YES -Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector (A) 28P and the SRS unit. Check the
connection between the connector and the SRS unit. If the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit (see
SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Go to step 10.

10. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

12. Measure the resistance between the No. 1 terminal of under-dash fuse/relay box connector S (2P) and the

No. 17 terminal of SRS unit connector A (28P). There should be 0-1.0 ohms.

Terminal 17

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Open in the under-dash fuse/relay box or poor connection between connector S (2P) and the under-
dash fuse/relay box; check the connection. If the connection is OK, replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.

NO -Open in dashboard wire harness B; replace dashboard wire harness 6.

DTC A2-1X ("X" CAN BE 0 THRU 9 OR A THRU F): FAULTY POWER SUPPLY (VB LINE)

1. Clear the No. 13 (10 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box.

Is the fuse OK?

YES -Go to step 2.

NO -Replace the fuse, then turn the ignition switch ON (II). If the fuse blows again, check for a short to
ground in dashboard wire harness B or in the under-dash fuse/relay box No. 13 (10 A) fuse line; replace
dashboard wire harness B. If the problem is still present, replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.

2. Turn the ignition switch OFF. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and wait for 3 minutes.

3. Disconnect SRS unit connector A (28P) from the SRS unit (see step 9 on ).

4. Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

5. Connect a voltmeter between the No. 18 terminal of SRS unit connector A (28P) and body ground. Turn

the ignition switch ON (II), and measure the voltage. There should be battery voltage when the ignition
switch is on.

Is there battery voltage?

YES -Faulty SRS unit or poor connection at SRS unit connector A (28P) and the SRS unit; check the
connection. If the connection is OK, replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Go to step 6.

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

7. Disconnect under-dash fuse/relay box connector S (2P).

Is the resistance as specified?

YES -Open in the under-dash fuse/relay box or poor connection between connector S (2P) and the under-
dash fuse/relay box; check the connection. If the connection is OK, replace the under-dash fuse/relay box.

NO -Open in dashboard wire harness B; replace dashboard wire harness B.
