YES -Go to step 57.

NO -Replace the injector (see INJECTOR REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 62.

57. Substitute a known-good injector into the problem cylinder.

58. Reconnect all connectors.

59. Start the engine, and let it idle 2 minutes.

60. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:



ENGINE SPEED



VSS



REL TP SENSOR



CLV (calculated load value)



APP SENSOR

61. Check the CYL1 MISFIRE, CYL2 MISFIRE, CYL3 MISFIRE, and/or CYL4 MISFIRE in the DATA

LIST for 10 minutes with the HDS.

Does CYL1 MISFIRE, CYL2 MISFIRE, CYL3 MISFIRE, and/or CYL4 MISFIRE show misfire counts?

YES -Go to step 71.

NO -Replace the original injector (see INJECTOR REPLACEMENT ), then go to step 62.

62. Reconnect all connectors.

63. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

64. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.

65. Clear the CKP pattern with the HDS.

66. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).

67. Do the CKP pattern learn procedure (see CRANK (CKP) PATTERN CLEAR/CRANK (CKP)

PATTERN LEARN ).

68. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:



ENGINE SPEED



VSS



69. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304 indicated?

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ignition coil, the injector, and the ECM/PCM,
then go to troubleshooting DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304 (see DTC P0300: RANDOM

MISFIRE AND ANY COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING:; DTC P0301: NO. 1 CYLINDER
MISFIRE DETECTED; DTC P0302: NO. 2 CYLINDER MISFIRE DETECTED; DTC P0303: NO.
3 CYLINDER MISFIRE DETECTED; DTC P0304: NO. 4 CYLINDER MISFIRE DETECTED ).

NO -Go to step 70.

70. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in step 69, go
to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ignition coil,
the injector, and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1. If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep driving
until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION, go to step 68.

71. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE ECM/PCM ), or

substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ).

72. Test-drive the vehicle for several minutes in the range of these recorded freeze data parameters:



ENGINE SPEED



VSS



REL TP SENSOR





APP SENSOR

73. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304 indicated?

YES -Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ignition coil, the injector, and the ECM/PCM.
If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE
ECM/PCM ), then go to step 72. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO -Go to step 74.

74. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES -If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted,
replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or
DTCs were indicated in step 73, go to the INDICATED DTCS TROUBLESHOOTING.

NO -If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ignition coil,
the injector, and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see

2007 Honda Element EX

2007-2008 ENGINE PERFORMANCE PGM-FI System - Element

SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM ), then go to step 72. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1.
If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep driving until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT
OF CONDITION, go to step 72.

DTC P0325: KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

3. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator

fan comes on, then let it idle.

4. Hold the engine speed between 3,000-4,000 rpm for at least 10 seconds.

5. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0325 indicated?

YES -Go to step 6.

NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at
the knock sensor and the ECM/PCM.

6. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

7. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

8. Disconnect the knock sensor 1P connector.

9. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).

10. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A1 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

NOTE:

Before you troubleshoot, record ail freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and
review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
