The right manual should have a description for doing that.

Off the top of my head though I'm thinking you could tell that a sensor was working with a voltmeter (plus maybe a simple RC circuit), but to determine if the relative order of the sensor pulses was right you would most likely need an oscilloscope.

That is the wrong manual because the 2007 is a 2nd generation HCH and the 2005 is a 1st generation model. They may or may not have changed the way that part of the car operates.

I have the same problem and brought my car to our local Honda dealer and they told me the I might have a problem with the commutator fuse and need to take my transmission apart to check it.

Yes, you can remove the light. It will be a waste of time because they will plug into the OBDII port and see the P0A7F error and fail you.

You can get an IMA battery for much closer to $2K

IMHO, car isn't even worth $5K.

Your logic is flawed. You should compare your cost of ownership with the cost of ownership of the replacement. $2K for a new battery is barely 6 months of payments on another car. It's a no brainer. If a $2K battery gets you another 3+ years of operation, then that's $55.56/month. Good luck getting a car for that.

Even if you pay cash for a used vehicle, it's not a sure thing.... a new-to-you vehicle is a complete unknown to you and may be a maintenance nightmare, you have four years of presumably reliable history with this car.
