BACKGROUND
American Honda is announcing a powertrain warranty extension as a result of a settlement of a class action captioned, Soto et al.v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-1377-SI (N.D. Cal.).
The piston rings on certain cylinders may rotate and align, which can lead to spark plug fouling. This can set DTCs P0301 No. 1 cylinder misfire detected, P0302 No. 2 cylinder misfire detected, P0303 No. 3 cylinder misfire detected, P0304 No. 4 cylinder misfire detected, and cause the MIL to come on.
American Honda is extending the powertrain warranty to cover repairs related to engine misfire (that triggers DTCs P0301 through P0304) to 8 years with unlimited mileage from the original date of purchase and has settled a class action based on this remedial measure.
This warranty extension does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a financial institution or insurer, or has a branded or similar title under any state’s law.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles were sent a class action settlement notice regarding this warranty extension starting in October 2013.
Before doing work on a vehicle, verify its eligibility by doing an iN VIN status inquiry.

Piston Cleaning and Ring Replacement Procedure
- Remove the piston rings from the piston using a ring expander. Be careful not to damage the piston.
- Spray the piston head and piston ring grooves thoroughly with Honda throttle plate cleaner.
- While holding the piston upright in your left hand, take the piston ring groove cleaner tool in your right hand and line up the cleaner tool guides with the second (middle) piston ring groove.
- Press the handle on the piston ring groove cleaner tool and slide the cleaning bit onto the appropriate piston ring grooves.
- Once the cleaning bit is in the appropriate ring grooves of the piston, make sure the tool handle clicks into place.
NOTE: There is only one notch on the tool for the handle to engage.
- Hold the piston steady and rotate the tool counterclockwise five to six times to remove any carbon deposits in the piston ring grooves. Do not rotate the tool clockwise.
NOTE: You can watch this procedure in the Tech2Tech segment “How to Clean Piston Ring Grooves”.
- Remove the piston groove cleaning tool and clean off the carbon from the tool bit.
- Finish cleaning the piston with throttle plate cleaner and the nylon brush. Do not use a steel wire brush.
NOTE: Below are some examples of before and after pictures. Depending on mileage and running conditions, the pistons will achieve different levels of cleanliness.
- Install the piston rings as shown.
NOTE: The first (top) ring has a 1D manufacturing mark and the second (middle) ring has an SPR manufacturing mark. The manufacturing marks must be facing upward.
- Position the ring end gaps as shown.
NOTE: If the ring gaps are not positioned correctly, excessive blowby may occur.
- Apply new engine oil to the piston, the inside of the piston ring compressor, and the cylinder bore.
- Install the piston/connecting rod assembly into the cylinder bore with the arrow on top of the piston facing the timing belt side of the engine.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall when installing the piston.
- Measure the diameter of the connecting rod bolts to determine if they need replacement. Calculate the difference in diameter between point A and point B. It should not be more than 0–0.1 mm (0–0.004 in).
- Apply new oil to the connecting rod bolt threads and flanges. Torque the bolts to 20 N•m (14 lb-ft) then, tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90 degrees.
- Reinstall the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.
- Replace spark plugs 1–4.
- Replace the oil filter and refill all fluids.
- Do the idle learn procedure.

i-HDS Diagnostic Software and J2534 Reprogramming Software
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. ("Honda") offers the i-HDS (Honda Diagnostic System) software suite for the diagnosis and repair of electronic systems on Honda and Acura automobiles, and for the reprogramming of electronic control units (including, but not limited to, ECMs and PCMs). This software provides access to all Honda and Acura vehicle systems (access to the immobilizer security system requires a Security Professional level software subscription and Vehicle Security Professional [VSP] registration with NASTF). To use the i-HDS software, you need to purchase one of our convenient subscription options. In addition, you will need a pass-thru Vehicle Communication Device (VCI) that is compliant with SAE J2534-1 and J2534-2 in order to communicate with the vehicle
Vehicle Communication Interfaces (VCI)
The i-HDS software supports the use of a generic pass-thru VCI that is compliant with SAE J2534-1 and J2534-2. However, Honda recommends the Denso DST-i or the Bosch MVCI for use on Honda and Acura vehicles, as Honda has worked closely with these manufacturers to ensure their hardware and our software interact safely and within the J2534-1 and -2 specifications, for both diagnostics and reprogramming. If you choose to use a generic VCI, please carefully consider the customer and technical support options you will receive from your chosen device supplier. Honda does not provide technical or customer support for generic VCI devices.
The VCI Application Table below lists devices that either are approved and supported by Honda or are known to have completed and passed an independent, exhaustive validation program with our i-HDS software suite.

Reprogramming with the J2534 Rewrite Application in i-HDS
Included in the i-HDS software suite is a new reprogramming application called J2534 Rewrite. This application is made available to all subscribers of the i-HDS software suite and replaces the previous generation software, J2534 Honda Pass-thru Reprogramming Software.
This new application is compatible with generic VCIs that comply with SAE J2534. It must be used to reprogram any Honda/Acura vehicle equipped with ECUs that support reprogramming. Refer to the table below for legacy applicability for the programming of ECMs and PCMs. Though system dependent, late-model vehicles may be equipped with other ECUs that support reprogramming as well, e.g. ABS or VSA. J2534 Rewrite must be used to reprogram these control modules, as instructed in an applicable service bulletin.
As shown in this table, not all legacy Honda/Acura models are equipped with a reprogrammable ECM/PCM. Furthermore, all 2007 and later models not listed in the table are fully supported with this application.

BACKGROUND
American Honda is announcing a powertrain warranty extension as a result of a settlement of a class action captioned, Soto et al.v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-1377-SI (N.D. Cal.).
The piston rings on certain cylinders may rotate and align, which can lead to spark plug fouling. This can set DTCs P0301 No. 1 cylinder misfire detected, P0302 No. 2 cylinder misfire detected, P0303 No. 3 cylinder misfire detected, P0304 No. 4 cylinder misfire detected, and cause the MIL to come on.
American Honda is extending the powertrain warranty to cover repairs related to engine misfire (that triggers DTCs P0301 through P0304) to 8 years with unlimited mileage from the original date of purchase and has settled a class action based on this remedial measure.
This warranty extension does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a financial institution or insurer, or has a branded or similar title under any state’s law.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles were sent a class action settlement notice regarding this warranty extension starting in October 2013.
Before doing work on a vehicle, verify its eligibility by doing an iN VIN status inquiry.
Refer customers seeking information about settlement benefits to www.enginemisfiresettlement.com, or instruct them to call 888-888-3082.

Page 20 of 24
3. While holding the piston upright in your left hand, take the piston ring groove cleaner tool in your right hand and line up the cleaner tool guides with the second (middle) piston ring groove.
4. Press the handle on the piston ring groove cleaner tool and slide the cleaning bit onto the appropriate piston ring grooves.
5. Once the cleaning bit is in the appropriate ring grooves of the piston, make sure the tool handle clicks into place.
NOTE: There is only one notch on the tool for the handle to engage.
Page 21 of 24
6. Hold the piston steady and rotate the tool counterclockwise five to six times to remove any carbon deposits in the piston ring grooves. Do not rotate the tool clockwise.
NOTE: You can watch this procedure in the Tech2Tech segment “How to Clean Piston Ring Grooves”.
7. Remove the piston groove cleaning tool and clean off the carbon from the tool bit.
8. Finish cleaning the piston with throttle plate cleaner and the nylon brush. Do not use a steel wire brush.
Page 22 of 24
NOTE: Below are some examples of before and after pictures. Depending on mileage and running conditions, the pistons will achieve different levels of cleanliness.
Page 23 of 24
9. Install the piston rings as shown.
NOTE: The first (top) ring has a 1D manufacturing mark and the second (middle) ring has an SPR manufacturing mark. The manufacturing marks must be facing upward.
10. Position the ring end gaps as shown.
NOTE: If the ring gaps are not positioned correctly, excessive blowby may occur.
11. Apply new engine oil to the piston, the inside of the piston ring compressor, and the cylinder bore.
Page 24 of 24
12. Install the piston/connecting rod assembly into the cylinder bore with the arrow on top of the piston facing the timing belt side of the engine.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall when installing the piston.
13. Measure the diameter of the connecting rod bolts to determine if they need replacement. Calculate the difference in diameter between point A and point B. It should not be more than 0–0.1 mm (0–0.004 in).
14. Apply new oil to the connecting rod bolt threads and flanges. Torque the bolts to 20 N•m (14 lb-ft) then, tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90 degrees.
15. Reinstall the remaining components in the reverse order of removal.
16. Replace spark plugs 1–4.
