Chipped Honda ECU

In case of chipped ECUs (P06, P08, P27, P28, P30, P75 etc.), compatibility with Hondash depends on:

• used ROM editor
• pcb jumpers
• correctly wired OBD2A/B to OBD1 conversion harnesses (if applicable)

ROM Editors

ROM Editor	Compatible	Remarks
Crome	✔	classic version (gold version may not be compatible, feel free to give us a feedback) datalogger plugin (Plugins » Enhancements » Quick Datalogger + RTP) must NOT be added to the map (ROM) before flashing a chip
Ectune, Neptune, HTS	✘	employed datalogging solution circumvents the OEM diagnostic connector and relies on custom full duplex interfacing with proprietary communication protocol possibility of compatibility with official Hondash Bluetooth scanner is under investigation

JUMPERS

• jumper J12 (or J4) must be located on the pcb (as zero ohm resistor), if it was removed or cut, replace it with a wire (see pictures)
  • P28, P30 (non-JDM rectangular ECU): J12 jumper
    
    
    

    J12 - replaced with a wire

    
    

    J12 - factory stock zero ohm resistor
  • P30 (JDM square ECU): J4 jumper
    
    

    J4 - replaced with a wire
• jumper J1 must be connected in order to use an external modified map (ROM) stored on a EEPROM chip.
  However if the pcb jumper J12 (or J4) is connected as described above and you're still not able to get Hondash to communicate (due to used incompatible Rom editor) and you want to restore compatibility with Hondash at any cost, just remove jumper J1. Main processor should fall back to using an internal stock map (ROM) instead of external one stored on EEPROM chip. Some users also install a switch instead of J1 jumper to switch between internal(stock) and external(modified) maps on the fly.
  Please be advised, if your engine is heavily modified (high lift cams, turbo, etc.) it's not recommended to run it on a stock map outside of low engine load conditions (idle, part throttle), take actions at your own risk.

OBD2A/B to OBD1 conversion harnesses

• make sure that the communication 5 V wire in DLC diagnostic connector is correctly connected to a ECU pin (described as "K-line" or "TXD+RXD") by tracing it manually using multimeter's continuity test
• there are a couple of pins that output 5 volts, tracing the wire physically and making sure it's the correct one is mandatory, because it can read 5 volts even if it's connected to a wrong pin

Manual wiring

• Use following references to wire the scanner manually in case you're using a OBD1 ECU on a car that doesn't have the 3 pin DLC connector available in the harness (e.g. OBD0 ('88-'91) to OBD1 ECU conversion, OBD2 ('01-, US '96-) to OBD1 ECU conversion).
  • Communication - connect to communication pin (a.k.a "K-line" or "TXD+RXD" OBD1 ECU pinout)
  • Power - connect to any 12 V power source (alternative power feed option)
  • Ground - connect to any ground (chassis ground, etc.)
