My EPS worked ramdomly, I did everything, traced wires, measure voltage,etc. In the end, bought a EPS unit in Ebay and was done for the day.

Here is the procedure.

With the car off, and the wheel straight do the following

1. Using a paper clip or backprobes, connect PIN 9 to PIN 4 on the ODBII connector.
2. Turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left
3. Turn the ignition switch on (II)
4. The EPS Light will be on for 4 seconds, when it goes out do step 5
5. Turn the steering wheel Straight, and release
6. The EPS Light will turn on in 4 seconds, when it goes out do step 7
7. Turn the steering wheel 45 degrees to the left
8. The EPS Light will be on for 4 seconds, when it goes out do step 9
9. Turn the steering wheel Straight, and release

now the EPS light will blink twice after you relase the wheel, within 4 seconds. then it will blink 5 times.

If the EPS light stays on, you will have to do this process again.

1: What and where is the SCS circuit.

it is in the ODBII port. That is where the Honda Tester is pluged.

2: i am no mechanic, but how do i short the SCS circuit to ground? using a wire? short it to the body?

I normally use the ground wire in the ODBII port. Jumping pin 4 and Pin 9

3: can someone post a full step by step details of how to?




BTW the search really works. That is how I found this to post for you.

does this eliminates the need for Honda's PGM tester?

how do you know that you turn steering wheel at exactly 45 degrees and not 43 or 47?
this is impossible to judge by eye...

There is numbers in each of the corners. Take a light and your glasses (I wear them, so everyone must too) and take a look. if you can't read it, I will take a look in the shop manual in the morning.

I very recently did this on my S, and it definitely had a number 9 pin. It's in one of the corners. I noticed I had to put the wire I was using very far into the holes before they would make connection.
