Although the Service Manual is still required, HDS now allows the user to monitor ECM sensor input signals (voltage values) directly, without a pin-out box.
Most PGM-FI equipped models built since 2003 are HDS compatible, allowing for the retrieval of trouble codes without having to read the MIL blink pattern. Mod-els with this early self diagnostic system require the use of a pin-out box, digital multi-meter, and the Honda Service Manual for diagnostic troubleshooting.īut a more sophisticated tool for retrieving fail codes and diagnosing PGM-FI systems was needed, so the Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) was developed. The MIL flashes in certain patterns to indicate the problem component(s). Early PGM-FI models (1998-2002) were only equipped with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) to signal the rider and technician of problems with the fuel/ignition system.
INTRODUCTIONNearly all Honda PGM-FI equipped powersports models have varying levels of self-diagnostic abilities.
