HONDAMATIC
BEFORE STARTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
OUTLINE
24-6
The
engine control module (ECM)
that
controls
the
Hondamatic system
has a
self-diagnostic
function to
constantly monilor
the
system.
When
it
detects
a
problem
with
the
system,
it functions
as
follows:
-
the gear position
indicator
on the
meter
blinks to
notify the
rider
of a problem
-
the shift control
stops
in a fail-safe mode
•
The ECM
checks the condition of
the
Hondamatic
system by detecting
the
signals
from
each
sen-
sor, switch and control
motor when the
ignition
switch is ON
and
during
driving. When
the
ECM
detects a
problem,
it
indicates
the problem
by
blinking
"--"
at the gear position indicator
(Indica-
tor mode I
),
•
The
Hondamatic
system
stops functioning when
a problem
occurs,
but the vehicle can still
drive.
The
shift
functi
on
can be
reset by turning the
ignition switch OFF and
ON,
but the
shih control
stops
when the
ECM detects
the problem
again.
The ECM
stores
the
problem symptom
as
a problem
code
(page 24-12)
in the erasable
memory,
but
does
not display
it in indicator
mode
1. Therefore,
it is
necessary to retrieve the problem
code(s)
before
starting
t
he diagnostic t
