SYMPTOM
Under certain circumstances, the vehicle may experience drivability concerns. This may result in the following DTC’s to set:
•
P0300 (Random Misfire Detected),
•
P0301 (No. 1 Cylinder Misfire Detected),
•
P0302 (No. 2 Cylinder Misfire Detected),
•
P0303 (No. 3 Cylinder Misfire Detected),
•
P0304 (No. 4 Cylinder Misfire Detected),
•
P0172 (Fuel System Too Rich).
NOTE:
• This issue is most common in regions with cold weather.
•
If this issue was experienced in a region that does not match the above description, please consider viewing
SB 20-053, to see if it matches the customer contention and regional trend more closely.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
During engine start in cold conditions, a miscalculation in the PCM causes the air-fuel ratio to exceed DTC rich criteria.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Reset the maintenance minder light and replace only the oil. Clear any DTC’s and update the PGM-FI software with the
latest version. Reset the throttle position learned values and do the PCM idle learn procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Reset the maintenance minder light A.
NOTE: The maintenance minder light may not reset after the update is complete. Reset the maintenance minder first.
2. Drain and refill the engine oil. Do not replace the oil filter.
NOTE: RDX - 4.6 quarts and TLX – 4.6 quarts.
3. Connect the i-HDS to the vehicle.
NOTE:
• Make sure the 12-volt battery is fully charged before starting an update.
•
Connect a fully charged jumper battery pack, the Midtronics GR8-110P AST in Power Supply Mode or the
Midtronics DCA-8000 Dynamic Diagnostic Charging System in Reflash Mode directly to the vehicle’s 12-volt
battery. Leave it connected during the entire procedure to maintain a steady voltage.
•
If the vehicle’s 12-volt battery drops below 10-volts during the update, the programming status bar may not present
accurately, or the Honda ECU Reprogramming application may display an error message.
•
Control module failure caused by the improper completion of a software update (early key cycle, low battery
voltage, disconnected DLC cable, etc.) is not covered by warranty.
•
If an error occurs during the update or the i-HDS freezes, do not disconnect the battery, or turn the ignition to
OFF. Reboot the i-HDS and start over.
•
To prevent control unit damage, do not operate anything electrical (headlights, audio system, brakes, A/C, power
windows, door locks, etc.) during the update.
•
Warranty reimbursement for technician labor is not allowed for routine checking/installation of any available
software update.
4. Update the PGM-FI software; see service bulletin 22-100, Updating Control Units/Modules with the Honda ECU
Reprogramming Application.
5. Do an ALL DTC CHECK to clear any codes that may have been set during the update.
6. Reset the throttle position learned values then do the PCM idle learn procedure. Refer to the service information for
additional instructions.
NOTE: More information on this procedure can be found in the Tech2Tech video titled, A Look at PCM Idle Learn.
