Starting Engine With PGM Tester

To start the engine with the PGM Tester, you need these items:

^ Regular key blank, P/N 3511 7-5M4-901, H/C 4225462, or equivalent

^ The four-digit ECM code (The code is VIN-specific.)

^ PGM Tester with SN 701 or later software on a 4 MB program card

^ Immobilizer jumper connector, T/N 07TAZ-SZ3010A

^ "IMPORTANT REMINDER" key tag, T/N 07TAZ-SZ3020A

NOTE:
This procedure disables the immobilizer system, allowing the car to start 50 times. While the system is disabled, the immobilizer indicator light will remain on.

1. Cut a temporary key using a regular key blank.

2. Find the car's four-digit ECM code using the HONDANET 2000 VIN Status Inquiry display. (The ECM code is called the IMMOBI DISABLE CODE on the display.)

3. Connect the PGM Tester, then turn the ignition switch ON (11) with the temporary key, and go into the immobilizer menu.

4. From the immobilizer menu, select

CANCELLATION to bring up the cancellation menu.

5. From the cancellation menu, select CANCELLATION.

6. Enter the four-digit ECM code.

7. Follow the screen prompts on the PGM Tester. When you successfully disable the immobilizer system, the last screen indicates "Immobilizer has been cancelled."

8. Disconnect the 8P wire harness connector from the immobilizer control unit, and plug the immobilizer jumper connector into it. (The engine will not crank without the jumper connector.)

9. Attach an "IMPORTANT REMINDER key tag to the temporary key. This alerts the customer that the car must be repaired soon; the engine will start only 50 times with the temporary key.
