HONDA CIVIC VIII (UFO) - Read DTCs without HDS or other tools

Hello,
The instructions below show how to read the DTCs on a Honda CIVIC VIII gen. UFO (5D).


Normally, you need HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) hardware for this, but it turns out that you don't need this device to read the error codes.

There is a connector with two pins in the fuse box above the driver's legs, shown in the photo below:


It is a diagnostic socket for reading DTCs on the speedometer display. To enable this function, short the visible pins with each other. For example, you can use aluminum foil rolled into a ball. You can see it in the picture below:


Then turn the ignition on with the key to position 2.
We wait 10 seconds and the display will show (if any) DTCs:


By pressing the [ and ] on the steering wheel, go through the list of faults until the end of the list shown in the picture below:


If there were no faults, the "DTC NO" screen will appear immediately

If you want to erase the error from the computer, press and hold the [SEL / RESET] button for about 10 seconds.

Regards

Hello,
I have to say the debugging worksheet works, I tried it on a 2008 CIVICU 2.2 CDTI.

Fantastic information because I was just looking for what to buy to check and delete errors.
I will test tomorrow

Does it work for a sedan too? He has a slightly less advanced display.

In the Civic sedan VIII 1.8 I-Vtec 140 KM, the "silver" works.

I have another problem ...

The check engine light came on, no wonder I didn't notice the car's work, I checked the error in the above-mentioned way, the display showed "NO" - no errors ... and how to delete it, the light is on?

Good evening, reading 1 error works, but I can't move on to the next ones, the "i" key does not work. Is there any other way to rewind more errors? Erasing works. Regards

Hello
I have a question about how to get to these fuses

Basically straight .....

You open the driver's door.

On the side of the dashboard there is an essentially triangular cover that fits perfectly. You gently pry up in the upper corner of the cabin and unhook the cufflinks.

The bolt is exposed from the bottom cover. You remove that screw.

The lower cover under the steering wheel can now be carefully detached and removed.

You put your head in the pedals and on the left you have a box. It's easier for snakes !!!!

Regards.
