Repair any loose or damaged terminals as needed.

Customers may state they are experiencing one of the following issues:

  • Engine crank/no start
  • Air conditioning inoperative
  • Rear defroster inoperative
  • Improper ambient temperature 

These issues may be caused by a faulty C-04 connector (Figure 1). Disconnect the C-04 connector and inspect the terminals and wires for damage. Repair any loose or damaged terminals as needed. The applicable pins (Figure 2) are as follows:

  • Engine crank/no start – W/G or G/R wires (Fuel Pump Relay)
  • Air conditioning inoperative – GY/B wire (A/C Pressure Switch)
  • Rear defroster inoperative – V/R wire (Rear Window Defroster Relay to Center Panel)
  • Improper ambient temperature display – Y/G wire (Airflow Mode Actuator to Ambient Temperature Sensor).

Honda Indirect TPMS Systems

Honda indirect TPMS systems do not have air pressure sensors inside the tires.

Indirect Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are systems that do not have air pressure sensors inside the tires. Rather, they detect a low tire by comparing relative wheel speeds via the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) wheel speed sensors. When a tire loses air, its diameter decreases slightly.

Older indirect TPMS are not as sensitive to changes in tire pressure as direct systems that actually monitor the air pressure inside the tire, but they are not as expensive either.
