Many thanks only expected a yes or no.

Not a mechanic so what is HDS (number 2 your list) and where are switches A & B (number 2 & 4) and from what DATA list (2&4), are you referring to some manual? I have tried to get a service manual but with no luck for my car.

Where is the ECM located (number 7)?

How do I check the continuity is this by putting a wire or guage across the terminals (number 8)?

As you can see from above I am no mechanic but working blind without a manual is beyond me.
honda diagnostic system at a guess? i assume these are instructions for the honda tech to follow and are damn useful!
